Description

Cuckoo Clock.Rumi and her mother visit their grandmother's house where she takes notice to the cuckoo clock hanging on the wall at the exact time the little bird pops out. Rumi asks why the bird doesn't come out of the house to which her grandmother explains that it's the bird's job to tell the time and won't come out until the appropriate time. Later that night, Rumi's mother has taken notice to her daughter's obsession with the clock (even making a tick-tock sound), as every time she hears the bird pop out she runs into the living room to see it. Rumi's grandmother says it must also make the cuckoo clock happy as no one seems to have paid attention to it for some time. Five minutes before midnight, while everyone is asleep, Rumi awakens to the feeling of going to the bathroom, but doesn't make it far before she hears the sound of the clock ticking. Almost immediately, she stands in front of the clock and makes the tick-tock sound, and her eyes start spinning around like the hands of a clock. At the stroke of midnight, the cuckoo bird doesn't pop out, however. Wondering if the bird is asleep, Rumi checks the clock, but it falls from the wall and breaks. Now worried, Rumi wonders how to fix it. Suddenly, the doors open and a fleshy, deformed bird with rolling eyes on one side of its head pops out and makes a distorted cuckoo sound to which Rumi smiles and laughs... The next morning, Rumi's mother awakens, but her daughter isn't in bed with her. Walking downstairs, she hears her daughter making the tick-tock sound in the living room. When she calls to her, Rumi slowly turns to face, her eyes now spinning like clock hands and her mouth turns into a cuckoo clock's door. When the door opens, the scene cuts to the exterior of the house as the sounds of choked cuckoos and Rumi's mother's screams can be heard.
