The famous TV talk show host Georges, his wife Anne and only son Pierrot live a dull, but family life, Georges received a videotape, the content is a long fixed lens position, just opposite Georges house, the camera captures The head of the household, Georges, went to work and returned home from get off work. The couple pressed the rewind button on the remote control of the video recorder. The video was like a magic time machine, rewinding the clip to a previous time period, which they could not find from the boring reality. Mystery in the barrel. The unidentified videotape was just the beginning. Later, the brushstrokes depicted on the white drawing paper were like the simple lines of the elementary school students' art studies; the videotape wrapped in strong, spreading red stripes was the password to unlock Georges' childhood nightmare.

Georges has a lofty education, serves as an invitation to visit a celebrity bachelor, studies a TV program for academic exchanges, one can imagine his personal knowledge, makes friends and learns well, Georges entertains friends The place is collected in the living room surrounded by many books on the white bookshelf, drinking is a symbol The French are romantic and appreciate food and wine, and he received a videotape, which hides Georges' childhood of pure French blood, jealousy, bullying of minorities, and spoils the high-profile, hot party.

Adults are often like this. What they did when they were young was considered trivial at the time, but children thought it was just a very childish trivial matter. Because of jealousy, the original space was banned, and they would do nothing at the time. However, there are far-reaching concealments and calculations that affect the future of other children: Majid is an Albanian. He suffers from tuberculosis and sometimes vomits blood. Because he occupied Georges' room, Georges did not tell his family about Majid's illness. He ordered Majid to kill him. Chicken, poultry blood splashed its face, beheaded its wings flapping wildly, blood stained a field of grass; Georges' motives were very evil, he used chicken blood to cover up the fact that Majid vomited blood, so that he fell ill and died , Georges will once again receive parental attention.

The famous saying "time can dilute everything" is actually an excuse for adults to exonerate their crimes. If Georges hadn't received a video tape and a drawing paper with pictures and voices, the crimes he committed would forever disappear in his mind, buried in the tombstone, and never had a chance to reflect. . Anne asked her husband if you remembered what happened when you were 6 years old? Husband was emotional and angry, and asked his wife, do you remember? A big, irrelevant, clean up of childhood crimes.

Georges was entangled in repeated images and nightmares, becoming dazed and confused. The long-term relationship between his father and his wife was like a glue, and the ins and outs of the video were recorded. The question of whether he should report to the police station has been strengthened; The black man almost ran into the couple who left the police station and was on their way to pick up the car, Georges scolded the minority with foul language, and the accumulated emotions blew up the usual gentle image.

Coincidentally, reading the online sports news, I learned that the French Socialist Party executive Georges Freche (who has the same last name as the hero Georges) said that he was ashamed of most of the black players in the national team, and he must have forgotten to win the World Cup in 1998. Member Shi Dan beat Brazil with two headers to help the country win the first World Cup in France's history. He is an Albanian. Georges can't tell whether the main black members of the current national team are from other countries, so he is sure that he is Love white, hate black color blindness.
The racial persecution of the French in 1969 finally emerged. Holding the axe, approaching, the blood-stained Albanian child's dumbfounded expression, made Georges close the curtains, sleeping naked, with his head covered, curly limbs sinking in thinking he had found the culprit, but dared not face his conscience in the sun 's trial.
