Like Canibals

Like Cannibals is a provocative indie film that follows Soledad, a woman whose sexual awakening takes a dark turn after a disturbing encounter with a stranger from a dating app. When he bites her during their first meeting, she suffers a traumatic injury that leaves her unable to experience pleasure. As Soledad grapples with this new reality, she discovers an unsettling solution: she must bite others to feel anything at all. The film explores themes of desire, trauma, and bodily autonomy through a surreal, darkly comedic lens. What begins as a cautionary tale about online dating evolves into a strange psychological journey that challenges conventional notions of intimacy and consent. Like Cannibals blends horror and absurdist humor to examine how trauma reshapes our relationship with our own bodies and sexuality.
