At the end of the film, the father cried aloud while holding the child's corpse. His grief was real. If he could have a stable life, he would never have thought of abandoning his child. It was just that life crushed his heart. deformed. Finally, the child's hand was miraculously illuminated by a beam of light, the beam of light was so peaceful and peaceful, it was the light from heaven, so similar to the light on grandma's face before she died, it was also grandma's call from heaven Well, Muhammad's hand moved a few times, maybe, at that moment, he caught the color of heaven.
