In a dystopian future where food scarcity has driven humanity to the brink, a small apartment building becomes the setting for a surreal and dark story. The protagonist is a young man named Louison, a likable mechanic who moves into the unusual complex, only to find himself trapped in a world of madness and despair. As he interacts with his eccentric neighbors, he discovers that the building's owner, a butcher with an insatiable appetite for human flesh, is involved in something sinister: a series of mysterious disappearances that feed the macabre butchery of the place.

Louison, initially naïve, is drawn to the neighborhood's beautiful oddball, the enigmatic Julie, who also harbors a dark secret. Together, they attempt to thwart the butcher's twisted machinations while navigating their absurd surroundings. Amidst extravagant characters, absurd situations, and the ever-present threat of death, the couple embarks on a journey of love and survival.

With a distinctive visual style and a blend of dark humor and surrealism, the film reflects the struggle for humanity in a desolate world where economy and morality have faded away. With each unexpected twist, we witness a chaos that is both grotesque and poetic, capturing the essence of life in an environment where the bizarre is the norm. The story becomes a beautiful dance between the macabre and the romantic, leaving the audience pondering the nature of sacrifice and survival.
