Synopsis

Set in a futuristic Paris, this stunningly designed, blackly comic French film reveals a city in ruins, where food is in short supply and the last taboo - cannibalism - is no longer observed. Louison, a retired clown, takes a room and a job at a lodging house run by the local butcher, unaware that he's being lined up as dish of the day. When he falls in love with the butcher's daughter they decide to join up with the radical underground vegetarian movement - and try and escape in once piece. Voiced in FRENCH, Subtitled in ENGLISH.
