Description:

Anna is a teacher of French and also the Principal of the College where she teaches, leading a perfectly ordinary life. She is happily married to Greg, a highly-successful architect, and mother of two splendid boys.
Yet, one morning, an odd incident totally changes her life. On her way to work, something cuts her off at the cross-walk. She can’t really make out what it is, most likely some small-sized animal, but the same thing keeps repeating, same time and place, every day for a whole year, becoming quite an obsession to Anna. She gets increasingly certain that the furry ball poses a threat to her, an omen of some tragedy waiting to happen.
Then, on the day of Anna’s 40th birthday, the little animal disappears just as suddenly; the fact intrigues her and her feelings of anxiety and insecurity grow with the appearance of a new character, at Anna’s school. A young teacher responds to a job ad and the moment Anna lays eyes on her she understands why the little animal had ceased cutting her off at the stop light. It had become human, turning into the young woman. Even though she finds it absurd, Anna has no doubt that her intuition serves her right.
As of that moment, Anna’s life goes through dramatic turns of events. All her dear ones, from friends to family, will suffer at the strange woman’s hands. The first on her list is Paul, a biology teacher and colleague of Anna’s, whom she shares her fears with.
Next comes Anna’s father, a once-renowned athlete, who was in the habit of going for early-morning jogs along a safe, problem-free route. He suffers a serious accident involving a car, which will seat him into a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Then it’s her children’s turn. Anna’s younger, Victor, breaks his leg at a picnic, when he steps into a weasel’s hole. Daniel, her older son, gets lost on Halloween night only to be found the next morning, in the cemetery.
Just as inexplicably, Anna’s and her husband’s bank accounts get suddenly cleaned out, along with their spare cash stash at home, despite the spouses’ efforts to keep track of the cash flow. A CCTV recording at their bank shows a woman in disguise emptying their accounts. Anna has no doubt who the woman is.
Lastly, Greg’s latest construction project, the new racetrack, collapses into ruin on the day of its inauguration, putting Greg into the spotlight. A detailed investigation reveals that a family of weasels has eaten the walls through, from the inside outwards, causing them to crumble.
All those incidents, equally dramatic, push Anna to a radical decision. It’s obvious to her that the intruding cursed weasel is the sole responsible for all the mishaps in her recent life; therefore, Anna decides to kill her/it.
Anna finds the weasel’s basement condo and enters it determined to kill the creature who’d caused all the tragedies in her life. But what she learns takes her by surprise. The weasel admits she’s come into Anna’s life to destroy all her loved ones, out of revenge, and reminds Anna of an episode in her childhood when, while visiting her grandparents in the mountains, little Anna threw a stone at the weasel that hit it in the belly, killing all its unborn litter. So, since that incident, the weasel has made its purpose in life finding Anna and getting even. Even though Anna sympathizes with the weasel’s drama, she justifies her act saying that she was just a child when the weasel had scared her witless. Anna eventually kills the weasel, thus avenging the ordeal of her own dear ones. She calls her husband on the phone and confesses to murder.
The next day, when Anna wakes up, no one mentions any corpse and everyone claims that the substitute teacher Anna keeps asking about has never existed. Anna realizes everyone around her has joined in a conspiracy to keep her out of prison.
Even though Anna clearly recollects what happened, she can’t convince anyone she’s telling the truth. She cannot prove any of it.
