Spoilers ahead
Carlos is a soft-spoken tailor with a chilling secret: a double life as a serial killer. He methodically stalks his prey, luring them into appearances of everyday normalcy before transporting them to a remote mountain cabin, where he kills and dismembers them, keeping a portion of their meat to eat later. This stark ritual underscores the stark divide between his outward civility and the violence he hides.
