Grow up, why not just let it go

Name 2022-08-09 17:43:07

Justin is introverted and melancholy and a bit nervous,
likes to store himself, sucking his thumb while thinking about problems.
The
story began when he decided to quit the habit of thumb sucking and reinvent himself.
However, things are not that simple.
He has fallen into a new vicious circle.
Marijuana and the relationship with girls have become substitutes for thumb-sucking...
Everyone’s growth has a symbol,
maybe a necklace,
maybe An inconspicuous stone,
perhaps the same thumb-sucking habit as Justin,
at every stage of growth, we say goodbye to them one by one.
In addition to the ordinary and profound bit of family life, the movie is moving,
as well as Justin's painful farewell to the past.
However, at the end of the film,
Justin, who was about to start a new life
, unconsciously put his thumb in his mouth when he was asleep on the plane.
There is no perfect solution in life,
as long as you don't take it as a problem,
then thumb sucking is not a problem at all.
Growing up,
why not let it go?
