The trailer for the buzzed about Mexican cannibal movie, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (which is making its debut in the official competition at Cannes) has arrived. Check it out below!

Twitch grabbed the clip for the film, which concerns a mother and her three teen children who are cannibals, and have to figure out how to fend for themselves after the death of the father, who had previously always provided for them.

Here's the official synopsis:

"A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge - how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies... and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they slake their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge... But without human meat the family will die.

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 bound by a terrible secret hunger and driven by monstrous appetites."
