You couldn't change the past, but the future could be a diferent story, and it has start somewhere... Growth requires reality, because reality is often cruel. The reality of the four characters is the departure of the pedophile mother, the male protagonist is a loser, Sarah's daughter is gone, and Larry faces the condemnation of his conscience again because of his own mistakes. Humans are very contradictory, they are social animals, and they are selfish enough to want to be the special one to satisfy their inner needs. Cruelty makes it grow, and Sarah wants the shelter of home, the understanding of her lover, and her own space. Pedophiles just want to live as equals. The male protagonist wants to regain the dignity that should belong to a man. Larry wanted to get rid of his self-blame and let others truly accept him and understand him. The final climax makes people see the essence of life. For the male and female protagonists, those beautiful bubbles seem to give wings to life. In fact, nothing can be changed. Change can only start from oneself. After all, it is no longer Madame Bovary's years. For Larry, it was on the road of redemption for the mistakes he made. After all, the self-worth reflected in grandstanding in the past was perverted and distorted. It seems that overnight, everyone has returned to the right path, only the paedophiles are more pitiful, and the people's indifference and prejudice are difficult to eliminate. You can't change the past, but tomorrow will be different. But what will tomorrow be like? I can't even think about it...
