Being human consists to a large extent of fighting back. It is usually other people who interfere with our lives or even endanger them. In some situations, however, acceptance can be the more sensible path.

DOU

A piano teacher is left alone with her fear of her violent husband. When he beats her to death one day out of jealousy, she turns into a fox. DOU tells an old Chinese folk tale in contemporary form.
