“Justine” (Garance Marillier) is a fairly robust young vegetarian who has just started attending veterinary school when she is hazed into eating some raw rabbit liver by her popular elder sister “Alex” (Ella Rumpf) and then unsurprisingly feels sick! That’s just the start of her problems though as it turns out her new roomie in the entirely functional gay lad “Adrien” (Rabat Nait Oufella) and their first week is going to see them undergo loads of frat-style challenges at the hands of their “elders”. She develops a nasty looking rash for which she gets some ointment but the rash appears to be symptomatic of something way more worrying. She is developing a taste for meat - and it’s cooking appears to be entirely optional. It’s beyond a craving, and - well let’s just say she doesn’t need a supermarket to procure her victuals.

You usually won't find many vegetarians in Europe, but this film's topic was bizarre. Because you know someone who has never consumed meat in his entire life, but then when he begins this new habit, it is like completely going out of control. It's not just one, but two from the same family. Something was very clear, that one not knowing the differences. Because they were never before used to it.
