Feature Fiction Film released on November 3, 2022, currently available on Globoplay.
None of them could resist.
Over the years, the monthly gatherings of the *Clube do Picadinho* (“Minced Meat Club”)—a fraternity that has brought together seven lifelong friends for decades—have evolved from rituals of power into melancholy assemblies of failure. Death seemed to be the only dignified fate awaiting them.
Everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious chef who begins serving them extraordinary banquets. Their bonds of friendship are rekindled, and gluttony becomes a celebration of life once again.
There is, however, one catch: after each dinner, one member of the group is found dead the following morning.
What is the true reason behind these deaths? And, above all, why do these men keep coming back for dinner?
