ExquisitoEls Marquesets

Renowned chef Víctor is visited by a food critic at his restaurant. Over the course of the dinner, they both reflect the significance of culinary art and its relationship with luxury and exclusivity. In the end, she reveals the real reason for her visit: she wants to organise a tasting of human flesh for a group of anonymous sybarites. This perverse and unprecedented proposition will end up changing the chef's life, and that of his step-brother and his partner as a knock-on effect. The menus are on the table, and the dilemma is served.

Exquisito is a terribly provocative work exploring the boundaries of morality. A contemporary tragedy with hints of a thriller, discussing caste privileges, the price we each place on our moral integrity, the siren songs that make us believe we could climb the social ladder, and how we justify and double down on our positions as we continue to defend our privileges within a horribly unjust society.
