A dark fable about greed and curses. The story revolves around a mysterious porter and a pale-skinned, bald blind man. The porter delivers mysterious pumpkins to the blind man every day until he discovers the irresistible allure of the golden liquid flowing from within them. Driven by desire, he secretly consumes a portion of a pumpkin, only to find himself unable to escape the blind man's "sight". As the story unfolds, the porter's fear escalates, ultimately revealing a terrifying truth: the pumpkin he consumed has become an inescapable curse, and the blind man's true identity is far from what it seems. Through a suffocating atmosphere, visual metaphors, and masterful pacing, the film builds a sustained sense of dread, culminating in a spine-chilling conclusion.
