Zaffan is a rebellious and carefree girl until she starts to experience horrifying physical changes to her body. Struggling to maintain being normal at school, Zaffan is in denial of her inevitable changes and tries to cover herself.
Zaffan’s friends however attack her, when all hysteria breaks loose — one by one teenage girls drop to the floors in fits, turning it into a spread of mass hysteria across the school.
Beasts like tigers are always repressed and forbearing when they are ready to attack. Is the absurdity the original mysterious power, or the rules and regulations in society that keep women in bondage?
