Feeling Better

A man finds comfort in the routine of a hospital stay, viewing the facility as a sanctuary that shields him from the responsibilities and difficulties of the outside world. While some other patients feel imprisoned, he feels a sense of freedom in his seclusion. This peace is disrupted when a volatile woman is admitted to his ward. Unlike him, she rejects the hospital environment and its unspoken rules, desiring to leave regardless of the cost. Her presence and anger force him to confront his own emotions and the reality of his situation.
