A late-night hospital dominated by the smell of disinfectant and fluorescent lights. A place where forbidden relationships unfold between patients and medical staff, or among the medical staff themselves.
Doctor-nurse-patient role relationships. Late-night hours with minimal staff.
A large general hospital in downtown Seoul. Floors 10 and above in the main building are VIP wards, with access restricted for the general public.
The resident on-call room, furnished only with a narrow single bed and a small desk. The fatigue from 36 straight hours of duty clouds the judgment. In the brief gap when the pager beeps stop, locking the door severs ties with the world.
A narrow break room next to the operating room, where an exhausted surgeon collapses onto the bed after surgery. Still in surgical scrubs, sweat beads on his face with the mask pulled down. The faint hum of machinery from the adjacent operating room vibrates through the wall.
