I didn't expect it to be an art film

To understand this movie, I am afraid you have to go to a depression first.

Of course, if you don't know what sorrow is, I envy you, it's better not to know.

Depressed sufferers have dulled fears of death or doomsday, a weakened or repressed feeling that may even kill themselves, such as being in danger but not wanting to run away.

However, when the doomsday comes with nowhere to escape, only this kind of person can act as if nothing happened and remain calm as usual.

I don't like long speeches, and I just want to say that in the end, it's hard to explain what depression is, or to convey the feeling to someone who hasn't experienced it, even at the most basic level of understanding. Including myself, when I am not depressed, I am also not sympathetic to the depression of others.
