The only son of the rancher's Aina was killed in a car accident. He was immersed in the shadow of the huge loss of his son, and it was difficult to heal. And Aina vented all his grievances on his careless daughter-in-law, Joan. For this reason, Joan, who was pregnant, chose to run away from home. A few years later, due to being abused by her boyfriend, Joan took her daughter Grave to a ranch in Wyoming and to the home of her dead husband.
They described how to let go of their grievances and know how to forgive and understand. Aina forgave his daughter-in-law; Mitch forgave the black bear who attacked him; Graff forgave his mother. Start living a new life.
The story is simple. Plain and daily dialogue, people are not used to getting along too close, and often use rough words to expel emotional shyness. Perhaps due to the harsh natural environment, people must make efforts to make themselves tough to adapt to the environment. But it makes me feel more that there is a fragile and sincere core under the seemingly alienated appearance.
Aina goes to his son's gravestone. He sat on the wooden stool next to the tombstone, talking about what happened. The words are simple, but they can make people feel his love for his son.
Aina wipes Mitch with medicine and morphine every day to reduce pain, takes care of Mitch's diet and daily life, usually quarrels with him, and the two sit on a stool outside the house to chat. Although each other's vulgar language is vulgar, but the deep emotions of each other can still be recognized.
The emotions between Aina and his granddaughter are more straightforward. Teaching her to repair cars, ride horses, milk the cows, and drive, these trivial things in life make people feel warm and pleasant.
Even when Ena didn't forgive Joan, he still cared about her. He understood that Joan was abused by his ex-boyfriend, and when he learned that Joan's boyfriend came to her, he took a shotgun and drove him away.
The life of the story is very strong. They lived their ordinary lives quietly. In a peaceful life, they each have their own mistakes and unforgettable pains. Faced with the scars of many lives, they still have a firm inner strength. Although it is difficult to cross, it is still possible to move on and start a new life again.
The film is rare and refreshing, and there is a kind of relief after watching it. There are many frustrations in life, such as: unavailable love; jealousy; backlog of resentment; each other's mutual hurt. No matter what, it will eventually pass. In the barren world, the feelings that can be grasped are becoming scarce. Hold what you have in your hands, don't let go, don't hurt.
