Can't escape midlife crisis

There is always a midlife crisis in life, whether it is a normal family in the eyes of people or a special same-sex family. When a person reaches middle age, everything tends to be stable, the division of labor in the family is clear, the children grow up healthily, and the relationship between the two has been in the same state for a long time. Under the surface calm, there is a turbulent undercurrent. The existence of contradictions slowly decayed in all aspects of life - because the son could not stand the discipline of his mother, he asked his sister to see his "father"; ; The wife also has a personal relationship with the father of the child... It all seems to come from Nicole's micro-authoritarianism. When all the blame is on Nicole, she shows a feminine sadness and a masculine toughness, she can cry unreservedly in front of the child, or say it in front of the child's "father"" I don't need jb's vicious words, life makes this woman hold her breath to take on the heavy responsibility of the family, and social ethics makes her try to prove that her family is no different or even better than others. This situation actually changes In any family, the process is similar, but the ending is different. In the end, love brings them together, and the only thing that can accommodate all of this is love.

Compared with the film "Hey Ka", which is also a mid-life crisis theme, this one seems to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is no gorgeous language and too many humorous elements, only the original appearance of life.
