A film with a very strong dramatic conflict, I can't help but think that even if it is shown in the form of a stage play, it is completely possible.

Every secret is gradually revealed naked as the past, and then there are out-of-control quarrels, throwing plates, scuffles, Weeping and then silence, and then either escape or nothing happened, probably all the suffocated family relationships are vividly displayed in this movie, and they hate each other but they become hateful. When the eldest daughter accused Aunt May of criticizing everyone at the dinner table, she herself was unknowingly commenting and making fun of her own daughter's vegetarianism. Aunt Mei chooses to turn a blind eye in her marriage relationship. Auntie chooses to keep silent about this secret. In the end, Charles and Ivy will bear the burden... This fragmented and precarious family, all members can only end up with each other in the end. To escape and live? At the end, Aunt Mei was lying in the arms of the nurse in a desolate and embarrassed manner, which seemed to be full of sadness under necessity...
