Hebi no Hito

A Tokyo zookeeper devoted to the reptile house begins to sense a disturbing kinship with his serpentine charges. His meticulous daily routines—feeding pythons, monitoring temperatures—mask a growing inner turmoil. Vivid dreams haunt his sleep, blurring the line between caretaker and creature. As his fascination deepens into obsession, the orderly world of the zoo fractures, and his own identity starts to molt. This quiet metamorphosis plays out under fluorescent lights and in lonely apartments, where silence becomes a canvas for a profound, unsettling transformation.
