I watched half of it on the plane, I didn't pay attention to the name of the movie at that time, and it took me a long time to find it when I came back. After watching it, the first half was very touching, the loneliness and helplessness of the little boy who got lost accidentally, and the hardships of finding his way home alone. , A mother's pain of losing two children suddenly, she was deeply attracted and moved.
