Judging from the title and the beginning, it feels like a light-hearted sketch, but it always feels a little incongruous.

However, the director did not make much fuss about this issue, but only showed the harmonious coexistence between different races through the nearly 20 years of mutual support between an ordinary Jewish old man and a black driver. It looks really warm.
