The main story is that Catherine, the daughter of a mathematician, was threatened with death. With the help of a student of his father Robert, Hal, she discovered an amazing secret...
At the beginning of the film, Catherine talked to her father in a daze, saying that she did not like to make friends with others. Only after the flashback was over did we know that our father had passed away, but that was just a memory of Catherine.
In the eyes of others, my father was a genius in mathematics. He also studied mathematics under his influence. My father was eager to return to the inspired state of his twenties to make greater achievements. Unfortunately, God made a joke with him, and his talent came to an abrupt end due to mental illness after the age of thirty.
Then his father had a problem, and Catherine stayed with him for five years. In five years, my father had good times and bad times, but my sister who was far away in New York did not show any concern during these five years.
Catherine's memory was found by her father's student Hal to find the notes left by her father and confessed to Catherine, who had closed herself. Catherine was disgusted with Hal's search, and at this time her sister Claire also came back to attend her father's funeral and hoped to sell the house and take Catherine back to New York to lead a normal life.
At her father's funeral, Catherine took the stage to tell her time when she was taking care of her father who could not take care of herself. She was very sad.
Hal's sincerity moved Catherine, and the next day Catherine decided to give Hal the note locked in the drawer. But she did not expect that Hal, who found the proof note, thought it was written by her father and not Catherine, and her sister did not believe her either.
She couldn't argue, she was extremely disappointed with these two men, especially Hal.
It was another flashback. Catherine found her sick father in the snow, and her father's enthusiasm for mathematics was still high. He gave Catherine the notebook, hoping she could be with him.
Catherine fell into another nightmare. No one believes that the proof was written by her. Hal took the notebook, Catherine was completely disappointed, and decided to return to New York with Claire to end it all.
The last flashback. Catherine wrote the proof in the pile of books, and she figured it out. Hearing her father calling her upstairs, she took the notebook and opened the door.
Before she could say it, my father said the good news first, he calculated it, and he asked Catherine to read it... (the climax of the movie, a warm reminder)
Catherine silently locked her notes into her father's drawer. The day Catherine left, Hal came to her with a notebook. Claire said that was not important anymore, and Catherine was leaving.
Hal explained that he saw the proof that only Catherine could use such a novel method, but Catherine got in the car and left. After the car started moving, Hal caught up with the car and threw the notebook into the car.
Catherine was sitting at the airport, she thought of her father, and of Hal, she got up and went back to where her father worked, regardless of Claire's call.
She saw Hal, and Hal saw her. Catherine accepted Hal's apology. The two of them sat down on the lawn of the university campus to reorganize the complicated certification process in the notebook.
