Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Burrowing into the mind and dreams of a sleeping beauty, The Comb becomes a seductive theoretical exploration of the subconscious. Starting from her ill-lit bedroom, The Comb employs the amalgamation of live-action, animation, hair-raising whispers, and an eerie score as a doll-like pathfinder of porcelain ventures into a labyrinthine realm and the unfathomable depths of the inner self.
