1. It tells the story of a closed town where the son of a powerful family died unexpectedly, and this incident became a taboo topic until the heroine accused of murder came back and was brought up again. Tilly is the little girl who was accused of murder. In order to find the answer in her heart, she returned to the town and found that her mother's life was in ruins. The villagers saw their home with strange eyes. Tilly began to cheer up her mother and let the whole village pay attention to her. She helped women design clothes for them to compete for more information. Teddy, a thoughtful and strong man, fell in love with Tilly and wanted to elope with her and forget about it. Everything, but she didn't find the answer in her heart and thought that Tilly, who was cursed, couldn't let go of everything she had when she was a child, and still rejected this love, but Teddy did not give up and silently accompany her. After recalling being awakened again and again, Tilly made sure that she did not kill. At the wedding, she clarified that she was not the murderer, but no one believed her. The sheriff told her that her father used his power to make her mother and even the whole town abandon her. It turned out that his father was the father of the dead boy. Teddy helped Tilly recreate the accident scene of the year through the silly brother's broken thoughts, and restored the truth of Tilly's psychology, and the love between the two was even stronger. . Tilly finally put down everything, she decided to reconcile with the world, Teddy promised him the future, when the two were in love, Teddy jumped into the barn to prove his love and was drowned. Losing her love made Tilly into despair, and her mother decided to help her restart her life, asking her to design a dress for herself and run for her, and apply for a Puccini design competition. In the end, her mother died wearing her daughter's clothes full of hope and love. After designing the costumes, Tilly decided to leave the town, and destroyed the home that had almost destroyed her with a fire, because the people here are full of malice ~ gorgeous revenge, the queen embarked on a new journey. 2. Structure, Inciting Incident, Tilly's return caused a commotion in the town. In the second act, the confrontation at the wedding scene + Teddy restores the climax of the scene. In the third act, Teddy dies, the mother dies in the dark night of the soul. 3. In the form of expression, the ecology of the town is a bit long in the first half, which makes the female protagonist's purpose very unimpressive. Knowing that she is going to ask for a confession before the wedding, the character's mood is suddenly very high and excited, a bit abrupt and lacking in excess. The sense of absurdity is just right. In the third act, Tilly is stunned, and the mother's character is also lacking too much, and the change is fast.

4. I love Kate, whether she is fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, wrinkled or delicate skin, she has a rebellious and firm temperament, the stubbornness and disobedience of women, I love her.
