The New Tale of Rat Wife

Taking inspiration from the folklore of a rat that consumes human fingernails, and then transforms into the image of the person they belonged to, the narrative delivers a disturbing blow to traditional family relationships, which persist as a vice-like habit, even in the 21st century. A wife, unable to conceive, endures her mother-in-law’s disdain and is constantly compared to and pitted against the rat wife, who suddenly appears. The striking use of red color and rhythmic direction employing traditional music is captivating.
