"The White Ribbon" (2009)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KJKvvvxY74Another story about young people being set apart as the favored and "chosen" ones.
One of my other favorite examples is from a classic 1930s science fiction story called "Tumithak Of The Corridors" where humans have been forced to live underground after an alien invasion. One group of humans who live near the surface called the "Esthettes" who are pampered and think they are favored by the aliens -- whom they worship as gods -- only to find out that they are truly favored...as food.
