Synopsis
Raymonda (Penelope Cruz) is an ordinary woman who lives with her husband and daughter.
Her husband has just lost his job and his life is very poor, but she is still hardworking to support the family.
It was raining lightly today, and Raymonda just got off the bus and found that her daughter Paula had been waiting for her at the bus stop, soaked all over.
Raymonda had a hunch that something might be happening, but Paula wouldn't say anything.
When she got home, she was terrified by what she saw, and her husband died in the kitchen .
It turned out that the husband had been playing Paula's idea all the time, and today finally revealed his true colors, and Paula accidentally killed him during the resistance.
Raymonda didn't expect such a thing to happen, but since it happened, how to deal with it is the most important.
She tells Paula to forget about it, and starts cleaning up the blood and disposing of the body.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Raymonda packed up and opened the door by herself. The person who came was the owner of a restaurant next to her, who was also her friend.
The owner's restaurant is for sale, and he is going to his brother out of town, so he wants to put the key of the restaurant here in Raymonda, hoping that someone will help him when he comes to the restaurant.
Because it was very familiar, Raymonda knew that there was a large freezer in his dining room, which could be used to temporarily store the corpse , so she agreed.
After seeing off the friend, the phone rang again, and it was my sister Solei who called.
The house leak happened to be raining overnight. She even said that her aunt in her hometown had passed away and wanted her to go to the funeral the next day.
There is still a corpse at home, of course Raymonda can't go, she can only lie about being sick and let Solei go by herself.
In the middle of the night, she and Paula wrapped the body, dragged it to the dining room, and stuffed it into a large freezer.
Because I was worried, I added a lock to the freezer.
A few days later, when Soleil came back from her hometown, Raymonda decided to meet her and ask about her aunt's funeral.
Arriving at Soleil's house, Raymonda suddenly smelled some familiar smells , like their mother's, but her mother died in a fire early, how could it be possible?
Following the smell, Raymonda came to Soleil's room, and she found that the closet was full of her mother's clothes, and some of them were even on the bed.
Raymonda questioned Soleil why she did this, but her sister did not answer, and the two broke up.
After Raymonda left, someone crawled out from under the bed, and it turned out to be their mother...
Video Analysis
"Return" is a film that explores the world of women . There are few male characters in the film. It is completely narrated from the perspective of women. The women in the film are extremely ordinary. And worry, but at the same time they are also extraordinary, because they are self-improvement and support each other, which proves that even if there is no man, they will live their own wonderful life.
The plot setting of the film is still very attractive, but the director's way of telling the story is as clean and continuous as a gurgling stream, and the narrative method is as delicate as a woman, which makes this work that should be "turbulent" become unusual" The waves are calm" , but this method similar to "line drawing" brings us an immersive feeling, after all, life itself is dull.
The women in the film are all tragic, but the director brings a positive attitude, just like the name of the film, no matter how unfortunate they encounter, they will eventually "return" to normal life, widowed, divorced, betrayed, Disease , nothing can stop their determination to live, in the film, love is not a necessity.
I believe that not many people have a worse experience than the heroine Raymonda. She brought her daughter to Madrid to live alone. She thought she could forget the scars left by the past, but she fell into an even bigger quagmire. Raymonda's husband not only couldn't afford the family's expenses, but he was lazy, so he made up his daughter's idea.
After Raymonda learned that her daughter killed her husband by mistake, she did not panic for a long time, but calmed down quickly. In her eyes, I saw determination and courage. In fact, no one can guarantee smooth sailing in life, especially after an accident, it is useless to complain about others , and how to survive is the primary task.
In the film, the director is not trying to set up a murder for us and then fight with the police, but to show us the problems in life that everyone will encounter after encountering a disaster. For example, in order to cover up the corpse and protect her daughter, Raymonda can no longer go to the original place to work, but what about living expenses? The boat went straight to the bridge. Although it seemed difficult, there was a turning point in everything, and Raymonda survived with his wisdom and strong will.
Strong is not innate, most of them are forced by the acquired living environment . The most touching part of the film is the moment when Raymonda recognized her mother and cried bitterly. I believe that at that time, she regarded herself as her mother's daughter, not her own daughter's mother. She also wants to find someone to talk to, and she also wants to cry in her mother's arms and cry about the difficulties of life, but when she is in a certain role, she should do what that role should do.
When we complain that life is hard and the world is unfair, think of Raymonda, who set an example for us. Tomorrow is very near but also very far, only today is what we have been experiencing. Some people work hard for long-term planning, some people live the present moment and accumulate memories. This is life , the only constant is that we should hold Attitude, ending with Jay Chou's lyrics: laugh, success is not the purpose, making yourself happy is the meaning.
Even if we encounter many misfortunes and encounter many difficulties, as long as we have a strong will and firm belief, we will eventually return to a normal life.
