The Butcher
1996, Spanish. Directed by Christian González.
Young Everardo Muñoz is the leader of the Mexican Butchers and Related Workers Union. Feeling like he's the chosen one, he tries to persuade his friend, Congressman Valles Pascual, to help him launch his political career. But as usual, the party he belongs to has other plans for him, just like in Buenos Muchachos. What the butcher doesn't know, although he finds out in time, is that this new plot includes wiping him off the map and then making carnitas with his corpse.
