    Reflect the adult world from a child's point of view. A delightful subject. The slightly deliberate twists and turns of the plot were vehemently concealed by the very natural performance of the little girl. There is no narration-style bridge in the whole film to show the child's thoughts, as if everything is hidden behind those clear eyes. So there is a moment that makes people feel that no matter how beautiful family ethics are, it is like an exaggerated joke.
