why are you at a party if you are sad?

She was lying on the sofa, turning to the right to look at him, smiling, holding a note with crooked letters in her hand.
"If you're not happy, why are you coming to the party?"

He was stunned, and suddenly ran away with the interest and calmness he pretended to be when he was just playing the psychiatrist.

This is my favorite encounter. I recognized you from the crowd because you were like me.
Asking you, in fact, is also asking myself.
Smell the same smell, this smell, any exaggerated expressions, movements, voices, makeup, can not cover up.
Because I see your sad eyes.

The 110-minute film, with simple dialogue, slow music, and interspersed memories, is about his unhappy family.
Because they have never seen happiness, when happiness really comes, the panic in their hearts is even greater. This time it is different from all the previous ones, and they start to be afraid.
Because they have never seen happiness, two people get along simply and slowly fall in love with each other, but they dare not face and bear the happiness of this love.
She came back at the end of the movie, looking at his father's confession with a photo, and said, he never gave up.
Even 75-year-olds are so brave, what are young people worried about?

Loneliness, loneliness allows us to see each other.
Courage, courage makes us not afraid of the future.

    There are many ways to express grief. Oliver's self-talk and fear of feeling alienated are incarnate in Ewan McGregor's sad eyes. Christopher Plummer's performance is very hierarchical, joy and sorrow are intertwined, so nostalgic for life. The cautiousness and emotions of the father-son relationship are moving. Except for the masquerade scene, there is a lack of chemistry between Mélanie Laurent and McGregor.
