SYNOPSIS
[EN] A middle-aged atheist man who works at a hospital drinks himself to oblivion one night. The next day he is asked to pull strings to bring the best attention to a relative's grandson, who was hit by a car the night before. Fear and a sense of guilt escalate when he spots a dent on his car rear. No matter what the truth is, he turns to prayer before going into the operating room.
