Manger l'autre

the long version

A teenage girl, born obese, eats, grows and isolates herself. Her mother runs away, horrified by her child. Her classmates photograph her tirelessly to feed the big eye of the internet. Her father, convinced that she would have devoured her twin in utero, cooks for hours to feed "her princesses". Alone, frightened by this monstrous body, she tries to understand who she really is. When she accidentally encounters love and experiences other pleasures of the flesh, she finally seems to be able to accept herself. But does the ordeal have an end for "different" beings? Tale of devoration and novel of excess, Eating each other is an allegory of our society eager to consume, obsessed by the cult of thinness and conforming image. With strength, virtuosity, and humor, Ananda Devi breaks the taboo of the body and exposes the horror of a character who mirrors our world violently intrusive and absurdly consumerist)
