A purely female film, with a certain trace of cmbyn, but more artistic, more personal and, of course, more feminine than cmbyn. It seems to be a spy on the group portrait of women.
There is no male role, let alone a male vision, the male gaze is burned in that headless portrait, which symbolizes the gaze of a man who cannot read women, symbolizes every inch of vision in the service of patriarchy And power, so he can draw gorgeous clothes, but he can't draw Lois' face, let alone Lois' anger. Fortunately, the cup was burned, so the repression of patriarchy was temporarily put aside, so there were five days stolen by three women.
The movie covers almost all female relationships: the relationship between mother and daughter, the mother suffers from an arranged marriage, but still pulls her daughter into the same fate as her, the same fate, the mother walks out of being an unmarried girl.

And Lois also said that maybe she turned her back, because she knew that he needed this kind of pain, and this kind of pain lasted longer than life and earthly love. So she also said "turn back" to her. Lois, dressed in white on the stairs, finally disappeared into the darkness that was suddenly closed, but remained in the painter's paintings forever. In her dreams, she of a lifetime.
