The whole film is almost a home space, with two seniors with strong acting skills.

She was taken care of by the old man, but her daughter and son-in-law had their own work to do without much help. In the end, the old man In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I suffocated the old lady with the quilt. But under such a simple plot, the excavation of the emotional core is too deep and bottomless.
