The tone of the whole article is 'looking for'. The twins look for the father, the elder brother, the mother for the eldest son, and the eldest son for the mother. And this long road of search is to tell about the war caused by the hatred of ideological differences and the now seemingly peaceful but still devastated life.

Different timelines, passing through the same place, there is a huge contrast between the world at this time and then, on one side is the prison that once echoed with screams, and on the other side is the laughter of kind-hearted people who want to help the girl take pictures. On one side is the once-burned black house, and on the other side is a room full of women's disgust for this strange woman.

Love and hope are the reasons for the mother to live strong. It can be said that the longing for the eldest son runs through most of the mother's life. The climax of the movie did not happen on the smoke and the ruins, but by a noisy swimming pool in a summer. The elderly mother saw the child she had been looking for with three dots on her heels, and she couldn't help but feel that the mother and child who had survived the war in a foreign country could finally recognize each other, but on her shoulders was the devil's face. The mother was completely torn, but in the end, she still lived the rest of her life with love and hope.
