Strangers come to visit the home of a young couple. Taking advantage of the hospitality of the hosts, the unexpected guests push the couple to do rash things, which leads to the destruction of the established order and harmony within the family.
The protagonist dreams of herself lying on the table and stabbed by a fork, like other dishes around her. The dream seems like an omen of her future. The drawing with free and rough texture rhythmically expresses the violence that casually invades the female body and private space. A couple¡¯s uncomfortable and complex emotions get visualized through animation technique, while the anger from inside turns into a beast and jumps at the audience. [Justin Jinsoo KIM]
