A seriously ill math professor desperately needs a heart transplant to keep him alive. After waiting for many days, I finally got my heart back to life. Driven by curiosity, the mathematics professor also wanted to know who the original owner of the heart was. After bribing the informant, he learned that this was the heart of the deceased person after a car accident, and began to make unannounced visits to the widow of the other party, but found a more tragic incident than himself. After having a tangled relationship with his widow, he did not hesitate to break with his wife and vowed to find the perpetrator and punish him severely. In a dark night, all the grievances could be resolved, but an amazing reversal occurred, causing the well-meaning mathematics professor to die on the spot and bid farewell to the loved one.

This is the story of three families involved in a car accident. Originally, three families from different backgrounds were entangled to interpret the true meaning of life with impermanence but boundless love. The film is similar to the cutting routine in the style of "Memento", with paragraphs of recollection, splicing a complete plot, until the shocking ending. The whole film is shrouded in dullness, dazzling the audience, and at the same time, without a breath, until the end of the ending, but let everyone fall into deeper thinking.

After two hours of preparation, the proposition of 21 grams was finally extended, which is thought-provoking and thought-provoking. Is there a soul of 21 grams? Does life have meaning? Are there lofty ideals? Does everyone have 21 grams in their bodies? Will the weight of each person still be different? Or, some walking dead don't have 21 grams at all? ...when we have a series of questions, it is time to test our 21 grams. If you don’t have any questions or thoughts, brother optimistically thinks that maybe your 21 grams are still wandering around and haven’t returned to the material body weighing dozens of kilograms. Shake yourself hard and wake up our 21 grams!
