14 Apples

About This Movie

14 Apples is this intriguing documentary from Midi Z that dives into the quiet turmoil of its main character, Wang Shin-hong. He’s a businessman, sure, and on the surface, everything looks pretty well-off, but his insomnia paints a different picture. The whole premise—spending 14 days in a monastery, living like a monk with just an apple a day—is downright fascinating. It’s a blend of personal journey and cultural exploration, with a slow, meditative pacing that really lets you soak in the atmosphere of Burma. The visuals are stunning, showcasing a life stripped down to basics, and the simplicity contrasts sharply with Wang’s chaotic life. It’s an interesting reflection on mindfulness and what it means to really live, all wrapped up in a personal tale that feels very real.
