Personal viewing notes. Be careful with spoilers.

Use a journey to express the father-son relationship. Use the seven days of the week to divide each section naturally. Weather is fickle. The technical dad solves the car stuck in the mud pit all the way, paints asphalt for the broken ship and sets sail, but when the electric power fails at sea, he has to rely on hand rowing, and he encounters heavy rain.

For 45 minutes, he felt distressed for the child for a second. The father threw him on the bridge until the child was soaked and came back to pick him up. It was enough. No wonder Ivan asked him why he came back?

53 Minutes The father treated his elder brother rudely, causing the elder brother to have a nosebleed. The father and son pushed the cart. Ivan looked at them hatefully.

1:03 After returning from the sea, the father asked the children to drink wine to keep out the cold. When he forced Ivan to drink and then handed the water, Ivan walked away and told his brother that if his father touched him again, he would kill him.

The rebellious Ivan initially refused to hike the island with his father but eventually followed.

When climbing the tower, I encountered a sudden heavy rain.

Ivan's confrontation was to deliberately throw away his father's bowl. His father did not lose his temper, but only taught him to make a wooden bowl.

1:27 The soundtrack after my father falls to his death.

The brothers took their father's body back.
