Synopsis

One very hot summer day, Min-hyeok, who is physically handicapped, wants to fix a broken fan, bet that doesn’t work. At the same time, Min-hyeok receives an unexpected birthday present along with a notice from the National Health Insurance Corporation asking him to receive a refund for his mother’s name, who died a year ago.

 

Director's Note

I wrote it because I missed my heavenly mother, who died after caring for her sick father and disabled son for nearly 20 years.
