I could go to the police and confess.
I could visit the priest and confess.
I ate a person. Is that a sin?

On an ordinary evening, a woman finds her man dead in the street. Time stops-

Until she cradles the body to her chest and carries it home, where she disinfects every inch before beginning. As the man witnesses his own funeral, their two voices - living and dead - tell of a country where the rich feast and the poor starve.

But this woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money - or God.

A decade in the making, Hunger is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult phenomenon about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us.
