The cuddler – A young woman is desperately fleeing from a mysterious danger, when a boy approaches her and gives her a drum to chase the evil spirits away. The following scene features the same woman, Kady, in a modern apartment, enchanted in front of the drum. The woman is visiting her partner’s mother, and the old woman holds a baby who cries relentlessly. But Kady invites her partner to play the drum, and the sound immediately calms the baby down.
