A surreal, darkly comic horror-fantasy that treats a cursed dress as a malevolent entity moving through interconnected lives, blending absurdist humor with genuine dread.

A haunting ghost story set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store, following the life of a cursed dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences.
