Accept yourself, admit the past, and it is a new beginning.

From a philosophical point of view, I think this film is mainly about the formation and solution of problems. It can be found how important the mother is to the heroine. It can be said that it is the death of the mother that gives the daughter the opportunity to grow up alone and become a complete person.

After the death of her mother, the heroine, who seems to have lost the other half of her life, tried to paralyze herself through drug use and promiscuity, and this was the beginning of all her problems: divorce, declining satisfaction with herself, and difficulty in continuing a normal life. And she doesn't want to admit that she is such a person, doesn't want to admit the existence of these problems, avoids problems, and doesn't want to face up to herself and the past, which creates a vicious circle, her problems keep getting worse, and she's getting worse and worse Pain, so in the first half of the film, the heroine often lives in the memories of the past. Until the last day of the hike, the heroine finally admitted her past, reconciled with herself, no longer escaped from these problems, no longer thought that there was a problem with the past, no longer sought the way of redemption, but lived her life seriously. The Lord has truly stepped out of the wilderness of his own life, and everything is the real change. Traveling alone can make people detach from their original living conditions, talk to themselves, and help people think. Whether or not you can comprehend depends on your fortune and the comprehension of your individual mind. Many difficulties encountered by the female protagonist on the road, such as lack of water and money, fear of being raped... Everyone may encounter them on the road and cannot be replicated. But it is the solution of these problems that makes the heroine gradually become stronger, just like the journey of life, get ready and see the tricks.

  • Cheryl: [voiceover] What if I forgive myself? What if I was sorry? But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if I wanted to sleep with every single one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?
