SYNOPSIS

Birce is taking a shower alone in her house on a rainy night. The faint rattling sounds coming from the door heighten the tension in the air. She hears the sounds but is not yet sure whether her mind is playing tricks on her. The door opens; a figure in a black suit enters, his face unseen. The Unknown Killer begins like a classic thriller story. But as the narrative unfolds, expected roles shift: Birce sheds her “victim” identity and takes on an entirely new position. With the breaking of the fourth wall, the male director’s gaze and authority over the narrative come under scrutiny.
