About this film
A manic dental clinic, a blood-tinged butcher shop, a blue-lit unmanned laundromat, and a damp fish-market arcade become four nodes of urban body horror. In each familiar space, a desire someone tries to consume grows until it consumes them instead.
Synopsis
Four ordinary spaces in a Korean city, a frantic dental clinic, a bloodstained butcher shop, a blue-lit laundromat, and a damp fish-market arcade, become episodes of body horror. In each setting, a desire grows until the relationship reverses and what a person hoped to devour ends up devouring them.
