The international sensation about a dystopian world in which humans are being processed for food and society is divided into predators and prey. Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans- though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the "Transition". Now, eating human meat- "special meat"- is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he's given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he's aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost- and what might still be saved.

By Agustina Bazterrica Final thoughts (spoiler alert): I was very surprised by the end to be honest. I truly thought that he had started to really care and love Jasmine and honestly expected them to run away together. However, upon looking at this situation from a realistic point of view I'm not surprised that it ended the way it did. I expect that Cecilia will still go back to her mothers for a while after she helped deliver the baby and then she will come back to live with Marcos permanently. After enough time has passed to make it make sense, they will announce the arrival of the baby and probably claim that he was premature so that the timing makes sense with his level of growth. It will be tricky to claim the baby as their own but not impossible. Especially once Jasmine is slaughtered and no evidence of a birth from her remains. Even if people are suspicious of the baby's arrival, they probably wouldn't dig into it too much out of sympathy for the loss of their previous child. It does make me wonder about Marcos's intentions with Jasmine all along though. Was he truly just using her to replace Leo or was there actually ever a loving bond forming? Let me know what you guys think!
