Justine, who is only 16 years old, strides through life with discipline. Good grades at school, a love of animals and the urge to carry on the veterinarian family's lineage give her a good start at veterinary school. There, however, the rules are different and Justine has to break with her vegetarianism during an admission ritual - a supposed trifle that changes the girl's life forever. From then on, an animalistic greed for meat swells, leading to a complete loss of control.
What hasn't been reported about RAW? Fainting audiences, comparisons with MARTYRS and A L'INTERIEUR were invoked and even non-genre fans excitedly asked if the film was really unbearable.
