Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a heart-wrenching portrayal of memories, constructed from still images accompanied by the somber narration of a character known simply as The Butcher. Orphaned at a young age, he endures horrific trauma, becoming a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of a priest. As he moves into his teenage years, opportunities to pursue his ambitions slip away, leading him down the dark path of butchering horse meat—an unseemly profession in France during that time.
