Maru (2024)

Other name: まる

Description:

"Maru" centers on Sawada, an art university graduate adrift without a clear career path, working as an uninspired assistant to a renowned contemporary artist. Having sacrificed his independent will, Sawada merely follows orders, his days marked by a monotonous existence devoid of personal artistic expression. This routine abruptly ends when a work-related accident causes an arm injury, costing him his job.

Returning to his quiet, empty room, Sawada notices a lone ant on the floor. Compelled by an inexplicable impulse, he draws a simple circle, seemingly guided by the insect's unpredictable movements. This seemingly innocent act marks a profound turning point. From that moment, Sawada's once ordinary daily life begins a slow, unsettling transformation, as the enigmatic power of the circle subtly yet inexorably erodes and reshapes his reality, pulling him into an escalating spiral of bizarre and captivating events.
