“Since I was little, I learned to associate cold with meat, and meat with what was hidden.”

Despiece is an immersion into Vicente’s memory, a man who was raped for years by his Physical Education teacher when he was a child. The abuser was sentenced to nearly two hundred years in prison for sexual violence crimes against other students at the school. Vicente was not among them and took more than two decades to share his experience. By then, the crime had expired.

Narrated in the first person, Despiece delves into the memories of that time in early 1990s Valencia from Vicente’s perspective: his relationship with his butcher parents and older sister, life at school with classmates and teachers, the search for affection, the awakening of desire, shame, and fear.

But revisiting the past is also a way of rewriting the present. Vicente, now an adult, finally dares to seek answers. How did the judicial system respond? What responsibility did the school have? Is it possible that someone knew what was happening? Amid the exploration of memory, a question arises: how do you survive a slaughterhouse?
