Synopsis

As exam season consumes her, a perfectionist university student ignores a growing ear infection to focus on her studies. But the infection worsens. Pus oozes constantly, sleep becomes impossible, and her grip on reality begins to unravel. One night, driven by a haunting nightmare, exhaustion, and mounting anxiety, she becomes convinced something is alive inside her ear. A body horror short about the cost of perfection, where the pressure to succeed becomes a breeding ground for something far more terrifying.
