Plot[ edit ] Lifelong vegetarian Justine begins her first semester at veterinary school , the same one her older sister Alexia is currently attending and where her parents met. Her first night, she meets her roommate Adrien, who says he is gay , [10] and is forced to partake in a hazing ritual, welcoming the new students. They are brought to a party, where Justine feels uncomfortable until she runs into Alexia.
Alexia shows Justine old class photos of students bathed in blood , including one with their parents. The next morning, the new class is splattered with blood and are forced to eat raw rabbit 's kidneys. Justine refuses, saying she is a vegetarian. Alexia encourages Justine to eat it by telling her she will like it.
Justine still refuses. Alexia then takes two and eats them both, still unable to convince Justine. Alexia then forces one into her mouth so she will eat it; she walks out with Adrien gagging. Later that night, she discovers a strong, itchy rash all over her body. She goes to the doctor, who diagnoses her with food poisoning and gives her a cream for the rash. The next day, Justine begins having cravings for meat, which makes her ashamed of herself.
She and Adrien take a late-night trip to a gas station so no one will see her eating meat. Unsatisfied, she eats raw chicken in the morning, and later throws up a long bundle of hair. That night, Justine finds the same cream that the doctor gave her in Alexia's cabinet. Alexia gives her a bikini wax ; when she tries to cut the wax off with sharp scissors, Justine kicks her away and Alexia accidentally cuts off her own finger.
Shocked in horror, Alexia faints. Justine picks up the finger and tastes it. Justine ends up liking the taste and starts eating the finger. Alexia wakes up and is shocked when catching Justine eating her severed finger. The next morning, Alexia takes Justine to a deserted road, where she jumps in front of a car, causing the car and the two people in it to crash into a tree. Alexia starts eating one of the passengers as Justine tries to stop her.
