The Eel
DramaCrime
A businessman kills his adulterous wife and is sent to prison. After his release, he opens a barbershop and meets new people, talking to almost no one except for an eel he befriended while in prison.
VIBE
A hushed, contemplative journey into the quiet aftermath of tragedy. It's a film that lingers, exploring profound loneliness and the faint possibility of connection with a delicate, almost meditative touch.
