35-year-old single mother Elaine lives in Brussels with her 10-year-old son Martin. When Martin savagely bites a classmate, Elaine visits his absent father’s family in neighbouring Luxembourg. Grandparents Adrienne and Joseph have a vineyard estate in the Moselle region and follow strict traditional values. When Martin undergoes a barbaric corporal punishment, Elaine returns to Brussels with her son. Their peace is short-lived, however, as Elaine witnesses Martin regress into a feral state and develop a craving for human flesh.
