The positive energy of small emotions and short stories

Brionna 2022-01-05 08:01:22

A 30-year-old superstitious and intuitive neurotic who still lives in the basement of his mother’s house, his big man lives inside and outside with a little man’s brother and a love-less sister-in-law, and a lonely old mother who is still working in the company and celebrating her birthday today. And a female colleague who admires her.
A series of nonsensical coincidences in a day constitutes the story of the film. A linear story line connects a bunch of small incidents that have traces of deliberate arrangement but can also be considered reasonable. There are basic ups and downs, and there is no big ups and downs. It is relatively slow. The rhythm is not as overwhelming as those commercial blockbusters, it is as plain as water, and those small scenes are as gentle as a handful of wild chrysanthemums added to the water.
After you have watched a lot of visually exciting blockbusters, stop and watch this movie, you will feel warm and close to your life, and tell yourself that this is not a dream.
