The film assumes an anti-single society. When singles are under the management of full-time departments, if they do not find a matching partner within 45 days, they will become animals of their choice and be exiled. There are many strict regulations during the period. For example, the so-called matching object must have the same appearance, personality or hobby. The 45-day limit can also be extended by "shooting" single people in the wild... The male protagonist was arrested during a "fake marriage". The woman found the mistake and killed the woman, fled into the wild to join the wild single tribe, but fell into another opposite autocracy. When she approached a woman and wanted to flee, the commander found the woman blind and became a man. After the Lord took revenge, the two fled to the city, but they had to blind themselves in the anti-single society to become a "matching" partner. The seemingly absurd plot reveals the despotism under dictatorship everywhere, quantifying the absurd and anti-humanity constraints in a metaphysical way, such as the cheers of childish and absurd propaganda dramas, the torture of masturbators, the commander and the generation. The synchronized actions of the deceased... all reflect a kind of absurdity and falsity, using a "Utopia" construction approach close to "1984", the persecution of people and the distortion of human nature under the extreme rule of authoritarianism, including the so-called resistance army" The limitations of the opposite in form and the same in essence” are covered by metaphors large and small. The overall film is rather dark but well-conceived. The rhythm control in the middle part is a little weak, and the open ending actually aggravates a sense of uncertainty about human nature, as well as anti-climax pessimism and even despair.

My ex-husband always used to say I had the most beautiful thighs he'd ever seen, but let's not talk about him.
