A spiritual encounter.

I always feel that it is very happy to be the lover of a wandering singer. They are handsome and have faith, so they are very beautiful.
I don't think I'm a music lover, listen to this kind of music, it's not music, it's a story.
We didn't know each other,
but I'd like to be with you,
but I'm out of control,
the shallow game will come to an end
We still have a chance to sing the song of hope
You still have a choice.
I have always liked the fate that I have never met before, and the future without signs. A little sense of mystery has just aroused my curiosity. Just like the protagonists of the story, they have no names, I call them bearded musicians, wandering singers, singing love songs at night. He is lonely. The heroine is a married mother with musical talents (guess), who is also lonely and sells roses in the downtown area. When lonely people meet, there is always more of a taste of sympathy.
The stories of the two people's past create their music. Play the piano together, sing together, record records together, and are allies side by side.
The background of the movie is very beautiful, the seaside, the beach, and the feeling of being far away can easily induce loneliness. Later he went to London to find his girlfriend, her husband found her and started over. The intersection of loneliness has gone their separate ways since then.
The final parting, agreed to meet for the last time, he waited for her until dawn. She still didn't come.
The next day, he left without saying goodbye in person. Life goes back to the past. The red house, the bustling city is crowded. I remember a very good saying, maybe I didn't fall in love with you, but you were the only one in my life.
Very simple storyline, no unforgettable lines, no sad atmosphere, only the long-distance piano and deep guitar collide to create a kind of frightening beauty.

A spiritual encounter. Leave, farewell has just begun.
