Set in an isolated fishing village of Malaysia, a woman’s relationship with her young daughter descends into a path of self-destruction and abuse when she begins to receive a series of strange and mysterious letters from her long-absent husband.

This short film by Edmund Yeo is a loose adaptation of a short story by Japanese Nobel Prize-winner Yasunari Kawabata. This dark tale of mental abuse between a mother, her daughter, and an absent father, is absorbing in its mounting tension—a portrayal as realistic as it is mysterious.
