"Into the Heart" (also translated as "Life Is Flowing" in 2013) directed by American director Drake Doremus tells the story of a fleeting extramarital affair. The 17-year-old Sophie is a female exchange student from England to New York, living in the piano teacher Gieth's house. Sophie happened to be a student of Guise. Guise likes to play the cello in his spare time, thinking of working in the symphony orchestra, and later achieved this wish through his own efforts.
During this period, Guice and Sophie had opportunities for scattered exchanges. Keith has the curiosity and love of a middle-aged man for Sophie's freshness, vitality and intelligence, but he can only hide it in his heart. But the life of Guise and his wife Megan is already silent and lifeless, just living a routine life. The daughter Lauren, who is almost the same age as Sophie, is a very self-conscious girl. Her relationship with her handsome boyfriend is on the verge of breaking down. She blames her boyfriend's infatuation with Sophie, making Sophie embarrassed. In fact, Sophie prefers her dad Gis. After a heart-to-heart talk, Sophie asked Guise, "What makes you the happiest?" He said, "Of course I am free to do what I like."
The prerequisite for doing what you like to do is to have freedom, that is, to have enough space and time to let each other have the opportunity to understand each other. It must not be difficult for the two of them. It is the teacher-student relationship, and they live under one roof. The key is to have a great affection for each other. Guise's charm as a middle-aged man was deeply attracted when Sophie came to his home. Her clear and bright eyes lingered on his face from time to time. Even his wife noticed, but didn't think about that.
After a party, after heavy rain, they had the opportunity to go home and change clothes together. Later, the two played the piano together, which happened to attract the attention of his daughter Lauren. To make matters worse, after a quarrel with her boyfriend, Lauren drove down into the dense forest and walked to the quiet lake, only to find Sophie, who was lying on the grass by the water, nestling in her father’s arms. This is nothing but a bolt from the blue for her. It is really "misfortune never comes singly". Her boyfriend leaves and her father is taken over. She was in a mess while driving.
Sophie told Megan that she was going on vacation with her classmates, and she packed her luggage and left. As a temporary guardian, Megan was worried and asked Sophie's female classmate to verify it. It turned out that it was a lie. It turned out that Guise's closet was empty, and all the luggage that should be brought was taken away. Only then did she wake up like a dream, and they eloped. Megan was angry and smashed the bottles at home.
As soon as the symphony orchestra concert was over, Guise drove to meet Sophie. While enjoying the warmth and sweetness, he received a call from his wife. He had to rush to the hospital and was slapped by his wife. Fortunately, her daughter's injury was fine. Inevitably, his love with Sophie came to an abrupt end. Sophie also returned, of course she was treated with cold eyes. Whether she is going or staying is a problem. The bigger dilemma is that whether the life of the Guise husband and wife who have been reconciled in the mirror can be restored to the previous peaceful state, I am afraid it can only be reluctant.
If there is a crack, it can be repaired for a while, but after that. Sophie is young and beautiful, and it is not difficult to find the home of love. Life is like flowing water, which is at best just an unforgettable experience in her life. For Guice, I am afraid that the guilt for his wife and daughter will not offset the nostalgia for Sophie. After all, the most beautiful piano sound has already flowed into my heart.
