no future life

Marques 2022-04-21 09:03:02

The film tells the tough and numb lives of four powerless children abandoned by irresponsible mothers

I can feel that the director is trying his best to make the film look cheerful. Some of the tones and music are bright

But gradually faded nail polish

slowly growing hair

Children's increasingly difficult lives

Weeds growing on balcony

It's showing that time is slowly passing

They got used to everything quickly

Stealing drinking water from the park to receive handouts from supermarket employees

Check out vending machines and phone booths

There is no unacceptable process, everything seems so normal

Even the death of my sister is so common

The small body can no longer fit in the box

My sister still grows up like a weed and no one notices

no hope no despair no future

Their pain is unknown

No one knows their existence

    It’s a marvel to be a mother to be shameless to this point
