My hand has become an apple. You watch it happen, then the film asks you what that makes you. Inu Ringo moves like a question, not an answer, building dread from the smallest possible change until identity itself feels uncertain. A student film that refuses to explain itself, trusting you to sit in the discomfort of transformation without resolution.

Someone's hand has turned into an apple, and that leaves them wondering what they have become. Inu Ringo is a short animated film made in 2025 as a first-year project by a student in the animation department of the film and new media graduate school at Tokyo University of the Arts.
