Details

n a world where animal meat is no longer edible, society turns to the unthinkable: humans as livestock. Marcos, who manages a processing plant, knows every brutal detail of the industry but keeps his distance—until he is given a “head,” a woman bred for slaughter. As the line between survival and morality collapses, Marcos must confront the horror he has learned to accept and the humanity he risks losing.
Chilling, visceral, and unforgettable, Agustina Bazterrica’s Tender Is the Flesh asks how far we’ll go to adapt—and what we become when compassion itself is consumed.
