There are a poet, a politician and a nurse who was an ex-patient, and Beth’s helper, also Rehan (Nurul Arifin) who has her own set of problems. The doctors at the hospital seem no different from the patients. There is also an artist who makes installation art works. His artistic doctrin is: the more complicated it is for a work of art to be understood, the better.
