Look up the Chinese meaning of Aftermath: consequences, trauma, as the title of this film, I think "trauma" is more accurate.
The hostess’s son died, and she and her husband, who had not been able to get out of the pain of losing their son, looked disagreeable and separated. Then, she and the "landlord" of the bereaved wife unexpectedly developed a short extramarital affair. She had a showdown to her husband and said that when the two could no longer live together, I thought this film would be like this. The evil war ruined an originally happy family, but it also made a romantic transnational love. His grief and the grief of the male landlord were compensated by almighty love.
However, just as the train was about to start, the ugly but inferior husband held his son’s torn sweater and burst into tears, as if he had a good heart. The female host suddenly realized that she and the male landlord said bye-bye.
Seeing that the male landlord didn't see much sadness on his face, he was a little disappointed for a while, he briskly jumped on the starting train and took his daughter away.
The hostess returned to the male landlord's "home" and hugged her husband who had experienced the spiritual baptism of "lost and recovered".
Family affection overcame love. It surprised me. European and American movies shouldn’t be so affectionate. But thinking about it, it is reasonable. The heroine’s injury, pain, anger, and even cheating are not all because the husband is busy cleaning up. The old mountains and rivers of his country did not show any guilt and distress towards her and his son at all? Hearing that the female lead was leaving, the husband cried so much that he had a deep feeling for his wife and son, but he was not good at expressing it.
The "trauma" of the heroine needs family comfort rather than love, so she turned her head and reunited with her husband.
Even if there are episodes of extramarital affairs rolling off the sheets, this film is quite boring. If it weren't for United's film library that couldn't find the film I wanted to watch, I wouldn't have watched this film seriously.
