In a fictional era marked by economic depression and widespread fear, people resort to cannibalism for survival. A dilapidated house is home to a family of butchers who also rely on human flesh for sustenance. Under a bizarre and surreal tone, the butcher wields a shiny knife to slaughter human meat. This building is also inhabited by a variety of peculiar characters: a tenant who eats snails, a woman obsessed with suicide, a man who loves to cut open cans... They say that if there are no food supplies coming from outside, they will not spare their kin either. Clown Louis (Dominique Pinon) comes to work and stumbles into this absurd world, becoming the centerpiece of everyone's meal. However, the butcher's daughter (Marie-Laure Dougnac) falls in love with him and tries to help him escape from disaster, leading this world into chaos and collapse.
