This was originally a wonderful affair between a twilight old man and a young girl. Just as everyone is happy is about to end, a big reversal comes unexpectedly, which is a little desolate.

At first, I thought it was a treasure-hunting movie: the old man, a collectible auctioneer, received a call from a mysterious woman and came to a gloomy ancient house. There are many old antique paintings in the old house. In the basement, the male protagonist also picked up a rusty gear. Later, with the help of a young mechanic enthusiast, it was discovered that the gears were parts of an 18th-century robot. The male protagonist was so excited that he kept coming to the ancient house to collect parts and wanted to restore the robot.

Later, I thought it was a sci-fi movie: women always refused to show up, which made the old man crazy and curious. I even guess that this heroine is not a robot, right? Once, the old man secretly hid in the old house, and finally saw the real face of the heroine - a beautiful woman. But the heroine is always pale, and I still suspected that the heroine was a robot for a while.

Later, I thought it was a love movie: two abnormal people fell in love.

The old man, who is too old to marry and has no girlfriend, doesn't know much about the species of women, and is even afraid of it. But he has a hobby, collecting all kinds of paintings. A room full of collections filled his secret room. Interestingly, all the paintings are portraits of women. The old man's greatest hobby is to lie on a chair in the secret room and quietly admire these women. It's a little perverted, but since these are famous paintings of great value, let's call them elegant.

The heroine suffers from a strange disease. You can't see people, you can't see anyone, and you get sick when you see people. For more than ten years, she has lived alone in this old house. But the heroine had a special affection for the old man, and finally showed up to meet the old man. One rainy night, the old man was robbed at the entrance of the old house and fell in a pool of blood. The heroine broke through her psychological shackles, rushed out of the ancient house, and sent the old man to the hospital.

In this way, the heroine naturally overcomes years of mental illness for the person she loves. And the old man has gained love. He asked the hostess to move into his house, took the hostess to the secret room, and showed the hostess his priceless life-long collection.

There's nothing wrong with the movie ending here, and it's already pretty good. But the big reversal came quietly. When returning from a long trip, the returning hero found that the heroine was not at home, and when he came to the secret room, he found that, tragically, his life-long collection was gone, and there was only one more restored robot. heartbroken. cheated.

The hero is broken. A lifetime collection is gone. The only woman I loved in my life is gone. Moreover, the collection of his life was cheated by the only woman he loved, and his heart was broken into scum. The so-called Aventure is nothing but an elaborate scam. The one who deceived himself was an old friend who had worked with him for many years. The mechanical enthusiast and the heroine were all hired by old friends.

Which one made the male protagonist collapse more: is his life collection gone? Or the only woman you love is gone? If only one of them could be saved, which one would the male protagonist choose? If you were the male lead, which one would you choose?

The male protagonist lingered at the gate of the police station for a long time, but finally did not report the case. Maybe he didn't want to lose his evening - his life's collection was bought at his own auction with an old friend at the best bid. Or maybe he didn't want to hurt the heroine?

He remembered that in the secret room, the heroine once hugged him and said, "If something happens to us in the future, please believe that I really love you."

Finally, he got on the train and traveled thousands of miles to the restaurant "Day and Night" that the hostess once talked about. In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he was the only one sitting alone at a dining table. The waiter asked, "Are you alone?". The male protagonist hesitated for a long time and replied softly, "No, I'm waiting for someone."

The waiter placed a second set of paper pads, a dinner plate, a knife and fork across from him. . . The camera moves back slowly. At this time, how much I hoped in my heart - the heroine appeared with a smile and sat down opposite him. Then, a greeting: long time no see. Then, everyone rejoices.

However, the female protagonist did not appear, the male protagonist gradually became smaller, and the camera was slowly cutting out the panorama of the restaurant. Those turning gears in the restaurant are heartbreaking to watch. How these gears resemble the gears of the so-called 18th century robots when they lure the male lead.

The camera stopped and no longer moved back, and the picture almost froze, only these gears kept turning... After waiting day and night, will the male protagonist wait for the female protagonist? What do you think?
