Program Note
After getting divorced, Irina finds herself indebted to her mother-in-law, who has a dog with the same name as her deceased son, as she believes the dog is a reincarnation of him. This psychological thriller turns anxieties about the future and the despair of not being able to take care of oneself into a realistic nightmare, amplifying the tension. It warns that if you fail to truly confront yourself, you may eventually lose yourself. (Kristin JI)
