We Are the Flesh
Mexico · 2016 · 80 min · SpanishTwo siblings, one madman and a building at the end of the world. An extreme cult-horror concept waiting for a bold new vision.
Face to face with (and emerging from) a culture in which cruelty and lust are linked in a shocking way, this debut provides an intense, allegorical vision of an apocalyptic Mexico – one we do not, however, get to see. In a derelict building, a brother and sister become fascinated by an older man.

Why it travels
One location and three main characters, with a story that works as an allegory for many societies. A remake can set its own level of explicitness.
