Arrow Films has announced a January 13th date for the theatrical release of  Emiliano Rocha Minter’s We Are the Flesh. Described as a provocative and explicit erotic inferno, the film has already been making waves on the festival circuit.

Hailed by Oscar-winning Mexican directors Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu (The Revenant), We Are the Flesh stars Noé Hernández as a post-apocalyptic hermit eager to transform the ashes of the world and María Evoli and Diego Gamaliel as the starving siblings under his thrall.  After making its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival, We Are the Flesh has been screened at festivals around the world,  picking up the Séquences Award for Best Film at Fantasia and nominations for Best First Film and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the process.

The film follows a young brother and sister roaming an apocalyptic city looking for food and shelter. They take refuge in the dilapidated lair of a strange hermit who makes them a dangerous offer to survive. He puts them to work building a bizarre cavernous structure, where he acts out his insane and depraved fantasies. Trapped in a maddening womb-like world under his malign influence, they find themselves sinking into the realms of dark and forbidden behavior. Be sure to check out the trailer below and get read for the theatrical of We Are the Flesh at LA’s Laemmle’s Ahrya Fine Arts Theater on Friday, January 17th.
