Detailed description

What if my head turns into a dead pet? And what if I am the only one who knows it? It is strange and uncomfortable, but also sad to think about. “Can I live without you? If only I was by your side, could I have saved you?” The loneliness and regret will draw you into the film. Many people have lost a pet. But most of them must keep their sadness to themselves while they go about their days. I Became a Cat is a film that gives those people a nod of acknowledgment as if to say, “Your memories of earnest love will always be with you.” CHOI Hayoung
