Synopsis
Santi moves into the country with his mother. His serene, deserted community consists of woods, buildings and people as old as their houses. One day, flocks of sheep turned up ravaged to death. Whatever, or whoever, has attacked them, it now targets residents. Soon, neighborhood kids on the lookout for a ball bump into a strange creature. And one of them, attempting to fight off the monster, meets his horrible demise. Townspeople suspect Santi, who so happens to be near the crime scene every time there is the killing. Suffering from communal hostility, he stumbles on a clue that leads to the truth: A cunningly orchestrated conspiracy is behind all those deaths. A childhood narrative laced with horror elements and convincingly relatable portrayal of a boy transforming into a man by facing his fear. (KANG Yu Jung)
