Mimarin is a member of a band called CHAM. She wants to graduate to something better and different and hence decides to leave the band and become an actress. During her last performance, she sees a stranger who gets into a fight with some local ruffians who are trying to spoil the show.
Over a period of time, after some strange and scary incidents, she becomes convinced that she is being stalked by the same stranger. She finds online mention of her day to day activities and soon begins to loose her mind and starts confusing the real bits with the imaginary.
The movie is splendidly paced. There is a really disturbing sequence wherein Mimarin has to act as a girl who is being raped amongst customers in a discotheque. It is reminiscent (the movie mentions it too) of the Jodie Foster scene in The Accused.
I loved this because it is the antithesis of almost all the animation movies I have seen in my life. It is dark, perverse, tense and a terrific thriller. Until the last frame, the viewer is unsure about what is the truth. There is an oblique homage to Psycho and it really gave me goosebumps.
If you have ever thought about what would have been the result if Hitchcock would have collaborated with Walt Disney, look no further. Check this film. It is a great thrill ride, one which would leave inedible marks on the watcher's psyche.
