In a post-apocalyptic, famine-stricken France, an apartment building is run by a butcher who also happens to be the landlord. He lures new handymen to the building with job offers, only to murder them and serve them as meat to the starving tenants. The delicate balance of this system is disrupted when the butcher's daughter falls for the latest arrival.
