    At the beginning, the deserted wilderness, the deserted road, and the tramp waited for Godot very much, just one in place and one on the road, but they were all extremely empty and hopeless in life. Max dreams of going to Pittsburgh to open a car wash shop. Lion is going to Detroit to visit the children he has never met. The cold side of life continues to show ugliness as he moves forward. Lion's remarried wife goes crazy with punishment of lies. Max goes to Pittsburgh alone. Unknown but obvious loss.

    The Scarecrow had no heart and allowed the crow to laugh at him, so he embarked on a journey and dreamed of becoming a real person. In the 1970s, the marginalized groups who wandered in the 1970s were eager for the warmth of the family and the success of their careers, but happiness did not come as expected with lies and violence, but tore away the layers of disguise, cruelty, scarecrow. It turns out that there is also a heart, but this heart is more fragile, sensitive, and more likely to be injured and imprisoned.
