Her whole life Tsukiko Arai has been plagued by visions of a hellish world solely inhabited by one large egg any time she closes her eyes. One day, the egg hatches and Tsukiko must come to terms with her past and the evil unleashed inside her mind. In the vein of similar Japanese mind-benders like Miike’s GOZU but wholly its own beast, EGG. is a scramble eof deep fears, slapstick comedy, and Gilliam-esque workplace absurdity. From the mind of Yukihiko Tsusumi, the director of 2LDK.
