I don’t know why it should be translated as a baby lover. It is not the ignorant love of "Lang rides on a bamboo horse and makes green plums around the bed" as I imagined, nor is it the youthful love affair of "Flipped". Like "Juneo", "First Kiss" In the same way, I think the film is about an experience, a process, a segment of life. It's like taking a picture from an album, and its theme is not "love".

Vinda has always wondered if he killed his mother, felt that he was going to die, and was afraid of the corpse that needs makeup at home. These are all about fear and thinking about death. We all came here when we were young, afraid of the dark and afraid of ghosts. It's just that Vinda's environment is even more special. The family is a funeral home. His mother passed away due to a dystocia. My father thought Vinda had accepted all this, but she was not. She is very anxious, feels uncomfortable and is dying. As human beings, we are all at a loss about death. We use religion and science to explain, let alone a child? After Thomas died, Vader experienced very painful days, and finally she comforted Thomas’ mother: my mother will take care of him. This shows that she has found a way to explain accepting death.

    Damn, this movie resource is really hard to find. The most impressive thing is that after Vida cried at Thomas' funeral, she went to the teacher to confess her heart and made an eleven-year-old girl understand that death and life are too painful.

    It seems that I saw it on TV when I was very young. I only remember the mood ring and the little boy who was stung to death by a wasp~ I will watch it again when I have time~
