Directed by Yunhan Jiang
The empty room, strange symbols, and the notebook filled with uninterpretable bloodstains. The husband searched for his wife’s whereabouts, but was repeatedly eroded by the fragmented memories of the cultist. When his wife’s figure appeared again, her touch brought about a blood-colored illusion – he saw his hands covered in blood. In an indescribable fear, the truth meant the collapse of faith and the sacrifice of the soul.
