For anyone who has seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this film might be too familiar. Two ex-lovers visit a medical center in their aim to lose their love for each other. They are put under series of medications and tests. While the process is effective for those who hate their partners, people who continue to love and fight for the relationship feel otherwise. This film looks into how “hate is not the opposite of love” and how forgetting seems to be an unachievable feat.

He befriends a beautiful nurse who tirelessly cares for him despite him being rude and mean. The story later reveals that this friendship is actually motivated by a graver reason.
