Shocking, bloody and deeply moving, We Are What We Are is a remarkable reinvention of the horror genre - a visceral and powerfully emotional portrait of a family united by a terrible secret and driven by monstrous appetites.

A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with their loss but also with a terrible challenge - how to survive. As their chosen lifestyle unfolds, we quickly learn their gruesome secret. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody rituals. Now their hunter is gone, who will replace him? Who will lead them? How will they sate their horrific hunger?
