To hurt a person's present also destroys a person's past and future.

1. Like "The Furnace" and "Carnival", both are themes of child sexual abuse, but this one is more profound and terrifying than straightforward;

2. The scary part of this kind of latent sexual assault may not be the superficial assault, but more the use of the psychology of underage girls to lure them, which is extremely shameful, despicable, and extremely evil, and the harm caused to the victim is extremely indelible!

3. Just like the female protagonist, she only found out that she had been violated before when she became an adult. Although this "selective forgetting/whitewashing/evasion" behavior can make the person concerned forget the details, the inner injury directly affects a person's life;

4. The filming method is very creative. The documentary format flashes back and intersperses the past and the present, allowing the present and the past to have a direct dialogue, which further strengthens the comparison of the psychological changes of the victim heroine;

5. The image of the "teacher" appears repeatedly in the film, which in disguise explains Ms. G's behavior, some victims, and even the status quo of the society on this topic;

6. The director actually wrote and directed the work based on the fact that he was violated when he was young. I admire this courage;

7. Sexual offenders are not allowed to die.

    It's a good story, but the downside is that G doesn't act like a horse-riding teacher
