Storyline
Mix of arthouse, comedy, horror. A man who has committed numerous crimes rescues a dog. An unique experimental movie in which a dog who died in a traffic accident after being tossed around by humans is reborn as a heretic and attempts revenge on humans. Under the guidance of the devil, he is reborn as a scarecrow to bring the Blood Festival. A 35mm independent film by the director who loves to make movies, but is not interested in professional film directors. The director who was shocked to see a picture of a dog abused and abandoned by humans, devoted his passion to this unique work that took seven years to complete.
