After her crush is taken by a supernatural entity called the “Mag Mag,” Sanae attempts to get revenge. However, her journey will take more than a few weird turns before she discovers the truth behind the Mag Mag.
Stand-up comedian Yuriyan Retriever creates a genius fusion of horror, satire and romance with her audacious and genuinely twisted directorial debut. Unfolding in chapters, the film’s multi-perspective narrative keeps us guessing constantly as it finds new ways to shock and awe. This is a unique piece of genre cinema that rejects classification.
