The story revolves around a young boy, referred to as Luchino, who is spending time with his father. The boy is pale, hungry, and tired, and is desperate to eat. He and his father go to a supermarket, which he initially mistakes for a 'supermarket of heads' (a butcher shop). The boy is fixated on eating meat and is impatient with his father, who is struggling to find affordable options.
Eventually, his father purchases some meat from a butcher, but they fail to pay the cashier, prompting a chaotic chase. After escaping, they return home, where the boy is eager to eat the meat. Despite his father's insistence that he cook it first, the boy becomes increasingly agitated and eventually eats the raw meat, which is "full of blood." The story ends with the boy going to sleep, exhausted.
Throughout the story, Luchino's behavior is erratic and sometimes disturbing, raising concerns about his well-being and his relationship with his father.
