Mark, a regular office worker, receives a strange parcel containing a rusty nail. The next day, he notices the first symptoms — involuntary spasms in his facial muscles. His laughter grows increasingly strained and frightening, turning ordinary life into an absurd nightmare. His colleagues initially joke about his 'new smile,' but soon the jokes stop. This 2025 horror-comedy thriller explores paranoia through the lens of domestic terror, where the main threat lurks not in a dark forest but within one's own body. The story balances on the edge of medical thriller and black satire, making the viewer shudder with every convulsive grin of the protagonist.
