Synopsis

Jorge Michel Grau's visceral portrait, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (SOMOS LO QUE HAY), is also a debut feature, both beautiful and shocking, following the dynamics of a family of cannibals when the father, the main flesh-winner, dies.

When a middle-aged man dies in the street, he leaves behind his widow and three children. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge - how to survive. For they are cannibals...

They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies. Now the father can no longer supply the family with victims, they are destitute without him...
