Because of cancer, Carter's relationship with his family has changed from harmonious to tense, and family visits make him feel that there is always an inexplicable estrangement. And Edward, who had been romantic all his life, had a bleak evening scene. Although he had a daughter, he became strangers and did not communicate with each other because of his inappropriate expression (calling a lesson for his son-in-law who beat his daughter).
The turning point was when Carter remembered his "bucket list" from his freshman philosophy class and decided to make a list of what was left of him. After Edward smelled it, he decided to travel the world with him to see the unique scenery in the world.
In this way, Carter and Edward first went skydiving, played extreme racing, and then went to the top of the Egyptian pyramids to talk about the joys of life, riding motorcycles on the Great Wall of China, and discussing whether to be buried or buried in the Taj Mahal after a hundred years. Cremation...
But after the trip to Hong Kong, Carter suddenly realized that he was going home, and he also wanted Edward to meet his daughter. As a result, the two had a conflict. In the end, Carter and his family were reconciled as before, but the cancer cells spread to the brain, and the last surgery failed and died. Edward finished reading Carter's last letter, continued the two's last wishes, and was able to recognize his daughter. Finally, the ashes of the two old men were buried in the Himalayas.
It seems that no matter how many beautiful scenery there are in the world, the journey of life with each other and family is the ultimate belonging of the soul.
