Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Korean tea culture emphasizes 'emptying' the mind; the film mirrors this by emptying Eunjae's hospital memories into something digestible, literally and emotionally.

Trivia

Director Lee Min-hwa shot this during actual hospital night shifts as a film student, using real exhausted nurses as script consultants.
