This short film covers a sensitive topic very well in a short runtime, as well as brings up an important message. We see both the social problems in Japan and the physiological effects of many idols in the idol industry through an allegory within the realms of horror.
With body horror being used to show the horror of not being allowed to express your emotions and be yourself, many can find themselves identifying with her. Hiding who you are is quite normalized in order to appear acceptable, and seeing this portrayed so well was a very positive experience for me, despite ow dark the story is.
Definitely give this one a watch if you can handle horror. You won't regret it.
