Karen: [voice over] I never saw you. With a new haircut, with new shoes... When was your first period? Was someone there to help? Did anyone explain? Did you hear the rain one night when I heard it? What gave you comfort? I've missed it all, and I've accepted it. But today I met Ella. Her little face is like a bird that flies high over thirty-eight years that have gone on and on and on, like a horrible parade. But now it's passed. Only Ella remains, God bless her. Ella is peace.

Feminist melodrama produced by Inarito. The play is skilled, delicate and touching, de-stylized, and there is no sense of dazzling skills in the three lines. The love and pain of a woman's life are connected by unmarried pregnancy and adoption. Religion plays a role in bridging the gap in the story and softening the drama. This film is also the second work of Nuomi after giving birth to her second child. PS: It is strongly recommended for male compatriots who can never truly experience maternal love. (8.5/10)
