      just write

      A story about a child who can't support himself, stealing from a ski resort to support his family. The whole film is very delicate, the scenery is quiet, and the ski resort is very cold. The little boy is very cute and well-behaved, and the two have a very awkward relationship. At first I thought they were sister and brother, but I didn't expect it to be mother and son. Single-parent families (not even family feeling). This mother feels very irresponsible. Many of the clothes she wears...

      How to deal with the terrible world

      So mature from birth,
      a 13-year-old "adult" who wants to support her family, a "bad girl" who smokes, drinks, and promiscuous at the age of 30.
      It is estimated that he has been so mature since birth, calmly stealing by himself, selling stolen goods by himself, buying milk and bread to go home by himself, washing clothes and cleaning up the house by himself. Then clean up the mess of "sister", no matter if she loses her job, smokes, smokes, hangovers, she has no complaints, she...

      almost sister

      Let me give you a few scenes, please guess the relationship between the hero and heroine:
      1. The man and woman go home together, and the woman suddenly has a urgency to urinate. Take off your pants and squat down behind a tree, telling the man not to look at her.
      2. The man is the real breadwinner: food and drink, clothes, toilet paper... These daily necessities are almost all brought by him.
      3. Men teach women how to use irons and wax to refurbish old scratched skis and...

      saw it yesterday

      Calm down and watch this movie. The camera has been slowly narrating the life of a child. If you give up halfway because there is no storyline (in fact, many French movies are like this), it will be a pity, because the more you see it, the more moving it becomes. Very unusual sibling relationship, in fact, everyone is just a child. . . Life is always cruel, as if there is no hope, as tearful as the snow-covered mountains. But the smile on the boy's face at the end still makes people feel so...

      No matter how he ran into the snow, he couldn't stop them from melting.

      At the Cinema des cineaste, less than 10 people watched the show. I was first drawn to the environment in which the story is told. At the height, there is about a certain ski resort in Switzerland, where wealthy tourists from all over the world are enjoying the fun of skiing. "Do you enjoy the snow today?" is the little boy's opening remarks to strangers, and it is also a way to get close to strangers and steal their things. At a lower place, there is an abrupt building in the surrounding...

      Who gives life to whom, who regenerates who... It's a pity that the outstanding businessman embryo, because he has no basic principal, can only rely on stealing and speculation, Whatever, still a great success. However, the world only cares about the hat of a thief that casts it aside. In this, there is so much jealousy and inferiority towards this young man, but the young man can only be deprived of all opportunities to win the light by his innate talent....

      The seemingly simple plot hides a lot of ideas, and it is done in one go. It is really like the possession of the Darney brothers. The story is told with a neutral attitude and is told neatly, but this kind of calm theme is very interesting. The cruelty is always clear. stands outside the story. The turning point in the middle of the story is unexpected. It is natural that blood is thicker than water, but although the two hearts are attached to each other, their bodies are still in opposite...
