As exam season consumes her, a perfectionist university student ignores a growing ear infection to focus on her studies. But the infection worsens. Pus oozes constantly, sleep becomes impossible, and her grip on reality begins to unravel. One night, driven by a haunting nightmare, exhaustion, and mounting anxiety, she becomes convinced something is alive inside her ear. A body horror short about the cost of perfection, where the pressure to succeed becomes a breeding ground for something far more terrifying.

Inspired by the cult Quebec classic, The Dog Who Stopped the War: Reimagined is a collective recreation orchestrated by Kino Montréal. The project brings together multiple filmmakers, each invited to reinvent a scene from the original film in their own distinct way. Blending comedy, drama, horror, experimentation, and absurdity, every segment offers a unique vision, creating a true collage of styles and tones. Once assembled, these reinterpretations form an unpredictable and fragmented feature film that pays tribute to a landmark of Quebec cinema
