There is an education called leaving

The first half is almost in a state of ignorance. A mysterious father who appears after twelve years of absence, two brothers who are in their puberty, father and son on a seven-day trip. All the foreshadowing is just to compensate for the father's love and the growth of the boy. The imaginable result is that the father-son relationship is rebuilt, and the son learns how to be a man.
It can be seen that although the son blames his father in his heart, he is still full of expectations when he learns that his father is back; the father is also loving his son in a man's way, taking pride in them, teaching them to survive, and even using barbarism and offending. way of rules. In the end, it was almost successful. Andre learned to drive, and Ivan admitted his mistake for losing his father's bowl. Although the separation of many years could not be relieved at once, after all, blood is thicker than water and family affection will resolve everything. Until after a harrowing few seconds of silence, with a muffled sound, one world fell and the other was rebuilt. The last ten minutes were suffocating, and the two children became adults in an instant.
We don't have to ask why our father left for so many years, maybe it's the fulfillment of the saying, "the deepest hatred, the deepest love." Complaints about the father caused strong resistance to his education, and the dialogue between father and son was full of tension, with little physical contact. And when all of this is suddenly released in the end, the impact will have deafening power. Thinking about it carefully, in fact, the words of parents and teachers are really remembered after leaving them.
So, sometimes I really don't know whether a thing is good or bad, whether a person loves or doesn't love us.
