A peculiar, rabbit-headed creature appears on a remote, rainy island, wearing a leather jacket and staring with eyes that glow in the darkness. Whoever encounters it loses their mind. The island’s residents seek help from the only person who seems to posses the strength to confront the creature: a young girl. Embarking on a relentless hunt for the creature, the girl will put her faith on test and reveal her hidden relationship with the creature.

Declaration
film director
“Symptom is a film about our own private devil. A poetic essay about the unfamiliar, dark side of existence. Rooted in the fantasy genre and breathing the air of melodrama, Symptom dives in the unconscious mind of a woman, only to reveal the symptom of the eternal battle between our instincts and our ethics.”
