Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Korean tea culture emphasizes 'emptying' the mind; the film mirrors this by emptying Eunjae's hospital memories into something digestible, literally and emotionally.
Director Lee Min-hwa shot this during actual hospital night shifts as a film student, using real exhausted nurses as script consultants.
