“A story of a man burdened with the destiny of a beast and a woman who dreamed of love.”

AnimationThrillerScience Fiction

A member of an elite paramilitary counter-terrorism unit becomes traumatized after witnessing the suicide bombing of a young girl and is forced to undergo retraining. However, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a key player in a dispute between rival police divisions, as he finds himself increasingly involved with the sister of the girl he saw die.

VIBE

A suffocatingly bleak vision of urban dystopia. This film feels like a rain-slicked, neon-drenched nightmare, heavy with political paranoia and the weight of existential dread. It's a somber, atmospheric descent into a world on the brink.
