The lonely people hate loneliness. In order to get rid of the sticky loneliness, we are eager to hug and kiss, but we are on guard against those hugs, slowly approaching but erecting hard thorns on our bodies, and finally hurting others and ourselves. The cry of the little boy Simon in class expressed two deeply hurt hearts, one is him and the other is Mr. Martine who committed suicide.
We are born lonely, so we desperately seek friends, partners, even strangers who can walk for a while, these search absolutely cannot be separated from the existence of communication, without communication, we will always be alone. In the film, Raza intersects the identities of two lonely people: a refugee in a foreign land and a teacher under a rigid system. As a refugee seeking political asylum, he needs to communicate with the government and the social living environment of this country to be able to integrate into it. As a teacher, he needs to communicate with his students so that he can truly teach them knowledge while guiding them on a healthy life path.
In the film, it was the "communication" that promoted the development of the plot. The government accepted Raza, and Raza finally did not have to worry about being sent back to the country. The students accepted Raza, and Raza was finally able to walk into the hearts of the students and help them out of the psychological shadow of Mr. Martine leaving. And in the end, it was also the problem of "communication"—the parents blocked the communication channel with a rigid attitude—that made Teacher Raza's identity finally exposed and had to leave the school.
The rigidity of the attitude obstructs communication, and the rigidity of the education system also leads to the obstruction of communication. In this way, the two kinds of lonely people can only wait and see each other, trying to get close to each other, but cannot tell each other what distance is safe to control. So close to each other, hurting each other.
Another story of a hedgehog.
