His father passed away, leaving him with a to-do list in his will-handing over $150,000 to his sister whom he had never heard of. He has little affection for his father. The legacy his father left to him is a large number of classical records. In his eyes, it is obviously not worth the huge sum of US$150,000. Therefore, he does not want to be understandable to others, not to mention that he is already in a debt crisis and urgently needs a sum of money to get rid of the lawsuit.

He was afraid to see her sister, because this was evidence of his father's unfaithfulness to the family, but he also wanted to know his sister, maybe he thought they had something in common with their father's feelings. He should know that it is impossible to embezzle this money, either from a practical or moral level, so why did he keep concealing it until he was finally forced to admit his true identity?

When he got along with his sister, he naturally found that her sister was a very good person. She is a strong woman, despite all the misfortunes, she still strives to be a good mother. Then why doesn't he recognize this sister and give her the money to make her life better? He can't monopolize the money, because the lawyer knows it. He hates his father, but doesn't hate his sister, because she, like him, lacks the love of his father, is she a victim?

So what is he struggling with?

Although it seems that the entanglement of the male protagonist is incomprehensible now, this film is still very warm, emotionally portrayed very natural, and the lines are very resonant. It is a good family theme work.
