detachment

The content of the film tells the story of how a family came out of the grief of losing a daughter.

In many cultures, people have completely different ideas about death, love, and time. Everyone's psychological resilience is also different. The father in the play suffers the pain of losing his daughter subjectively, which shows the deep love and longing for his daughter. This feeling is something that people who have no children and a happy married life cannot experience.

The purpose of watching a film is to understand a story, not to seek approval, but to understand the spirit expressed by the film. The grief of the loss of his daughter afflicts his father, and his father's self-imposed exile afflicts his company colleagues. Each of the three colleagues also had their own problems. The Mexican's life is coming to an end, and the only labor force in the family is dying. In order not to cause any loss to the family's life, even such a brain-opening behavior in the play was accepted with a half push. (Please note that they are all advertising people. They eat by brainstorming.) The blond woman is getting older, and she likes children. She is also looking for opportunities to get a relative, (as for why not find a husband There are many reasons, which can be ignored in the plot.) I am also hesitant. While the white father did not change his romantic nature, he did not lose his love for his daughter. Everyone is getting their minds out of this absurd farce.

The person who can really redeem himself in the film is actually himself. The final appearance of the three gods at most makes this film a little more like the feeling that people are watching. Everyone will have pain and confusion. What saves you is always whether you can accept the reality subjectively. It may be an act of not causing trouble for the family to hide one's problems from the family, but in fact it is a cruel and irresponsible act.

How to detach, no longer escape, and bravely face the unbearable lightness in limited life is the question left to people by this film.
