This is a literary film wrapped in science fiction, a story about self-salvation. A car accident destroyed two people and connected the two people. The two strange individuals were therefore tied in blood. The girl who caused the accident longed for salvation, and the surviving man longed for inner peace. A lot of hand-held photography creates the texture of real life, but the film always reveals a touch of elegance, the blue mysterious planet in the sky, the pale and beautiful face of the girl, the blue sea, and the light dancing in the sun. Dust, these beautiful images make the heavy theme of the film less unbearable to watch. In fact, this theme is not easy to shoot. After all, because of one person's fault, another originally happy family broke up instantly. Can the victim really forgive the perpetrator? If so, what kind of inner struggle has he experienced? And how does the perpetrator seek self-salvation to make the audience feel that she has really repaid her fault? It is not easy to clarify these issues while convincing the audience, or at least generating approval. The Darnet brothers’ film "Son of Others" discussed this issue, and in the end they believed in human tolerance and gave both parties a reconciliation.
