Saccharine

When first-year medical student Hana runs into an old friend who has lost so much weight she is almost unrecognisable, Hana is introduced to the world of weight-loss pills. Her quest for a slimmer body is spurred on by her crush, Alanya, a fitness influencer and personal trainer at Hana’s university gym, who convinces her to take part in a twelve-week “body transformation” programme. Unable to afford the expensive pills, Hana brings one of the samples she has been given free-of-charge to the university lab. She tests the pills and makes a surprising discovery about their contents that leads her to begin stealing bones from the cadaver she is dissecting in her anatomy class. And while the pills seem to be very effective, and her body shrinks, Hana quickly finds herself being haunted by a ghost that grows in size and strength as her waistline slims.
