We Are the Flesh (Spanish: Tenemos la carne) is a 2016 Mexican-French horror film written and directed by Emiliano Rocha Minter. The story takes place after an unknown apocalypse has devastated the globe, forcing siblings Lucio and Fauna to forage for food and shelter in a hostile environment. They happen to come across Mariano, a man who offers them both of these things, but at a cost: they must help him turn an abandoned building into a cave/cocoon-esque structure and willingly indulge his depraved sexual appetites. With few other options, the two comply; only to discover to their horror that this act is simply the start of many strange and horrific things they must endure in order to survive.
The film contains non-simulated sex scenes, including the aforementioned scene of masturbation captured to climax.
