Synopsis
This film is about the mental and emotional states of a man under quarantine. Isolated from his wife and daughter in a different hotel room, a man has a chance to face his true self and examine the loneliness in his marriage. During quarantine, the depression and anxiety caused by the environment and self-struggles are somehow relieved through the “abnormal” communications with the family. The sudden fever that happens to the daughter makes the man feel the power of love and the courage to overcome the crisis of his daily life.
