Chronology
When Mark drives drunk, he loses his license and has to pass the MPA exam. He meets Helena at the course and tries to sober up with her, but temptations are everywhere.
Then [00:42:35] in Mark’s apartment, the permanent calendar pages show that he only worked 25 days
After Mark’s first failed attempt to sober up, Helen mentioned that it only took him 27 days [00:41:50]. This film is not only about the main character’s struggle with a serious illness, but also about how society deals with the fine line between taking alcohol or other drugs and a situation where life gets out of control.

Although the plot may not contain many surprises, it does well to show that alcohol for obvious reasons cannot be a component of a happy life.
