The whole film revolves around the growth of a girl.
The daughter with excellent grades was almost sexually assaulted on the day before the decisive exam. The girl was physically and mentally affected. The father obtained the opportunity to go abroad for his daughter to pass the exam successfully. As a doctor, he used social connections to help his daughter. The law, the values of the adult world and the values of the "minor" world, society and school, love and the original family, doctor-patient relationship, self-protection and responsibility, etc. collide and conflict, resulting in a complex game - the balance of interests.
Although the father in the film is a seemingly ordinary doctor, he has established a tougher interpersonal relationship due to the reputation and certain privileges given to doctors by society. This "capable" father has always used his patriarchal ideology to influence and even control his daughter, including those around him. In his value system, "winners", "critical periods" and "success" are the ones that bear the brunt. Therefore, such a father, despite his broken heart for his daughter, is unable to win the favor and affection of the people around him because of the almost cold "adult rules". What was simply fulfilled was that the daughter's sentence, "They just asked me to answer for a few more minutes because I cried, don't need you to do that." The father suddenly realized and relieved a lot. This also happens to allude to the education problem in today's society. It is more important for children to learn to be honest and do what they like, or is it more important to enter the so-called "adult world" early? It's always a game.
The cinematography in the film is also quite successful. The director and his cinematographer are good at using space to suggest relationships and emotions of characters. We found that although the father in the film is not so popular with his daughter, the father's love is like a mountain and blood is thicker than water, which still makes the father and daughter deeply affectionate. These can be clearly felt from the pictures in the same frame and the close distance between the two facing each other in a small space.
The relationship between the male protagonist and his wife is not so optimistic. They are often either in the same frame and one person is only in one corner of the frame, or they are speaking in a voiceover from a different frame. In this picture, we can clearly feel the gap between the two.
In the background, the husband is standing outside the frame in the frame, while the wife is in the foreground with her back to him, the wife is asking her husband to separate, and their relationship is about to break down.
There is also a one-minute-long scene depicting the panic of the father who is suspected of being followed. The dark environment, the narrow alley, the contrast of black and white light and shadow on the protagonist's face, the protagonist's back to us, the shaking camera, as if he will encounter something unexpected when he turns around. This filming creates an excellent atmosphere of horror, with a strong suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere.
If you look at the sound part of the film, one of the interesting things is that there is often an uninterrupted phone ringing when the father is busy, which creates a tense atmosphere. Often the result is ignoring the phone. In life, we often encounter such "busy people", just think about it, are they really busy? If you only focus on the so-called urgent things in front of you and ignore the important things, you will be dragged down by the urgent things sooner or later. The daughter's sexual assault was only a fuse, and the cause of this series of chaotic problems was ultimately caused by the father's "accumulation" on weekdays.
From an objective point of view, this film combines a variety of elements and conducts in-depth discussions on various social issues. The depth and visibility are enough to make it an award-winning film.
