In this title sequence for the Japanese psychological thriller Confessions (2010), the grief and revenge of a middle school teacher unfold through the symbolic transformation of milk. Once a symbol of motherhood and care, the milk gradually sours, curdles, and decays in intricate, abstract macro shots. This shift mirrors the teacher’s transformation from caregiver to avenger after her young daughter is murdered by students in her class.

The sequence captures the emotional weight of her trauma, as each close-up reveals the milk breaking, fracturing, and darkening into something far more sinister. By the end, delicate fungi begin to emerge from the decay, evoking the film’s central question: "How could we educate traumatized children on the value of life?" This poetic cycle of destruction and renewal sets a haunting, reflective tone for the story to follow.
