The protagonist came back to attend his mother's graduation ceremony. Because of an accident, the graduation ceremony became a funeral. The funeral opened the memory of the hero. More often it was a contest between him and his father. He always failed. It may be because of lack of courage or because he felt that he was incapable of resisting. Sometimes he would "lost advanced glasses". His little trick is to watch his father get angry to relieve his hatred. For him, his father is the root of his "childhood shadow".
In the days of confrontation with his father, his mother was on his side. Unfortunately, his mother did not have much right to speak. The new aunt gave him a lot of courage. In the end, he could stand in front of his father and threaten him loudly, even before his father. After taking the baseball bat, he can rush to vent his anger and tell his father that he is a man. This time the resistance has worked, and his father came to him to reconcile.
The memory of the hero gradually ceased to be tit-for-tat. There was more communication between him and his father, such as the smile under the camera, and finally they reconciled. The moment the hero burned the unpublished "Firefly in the Garden", The father-son relationship that was constantly clashing between them began to turn, becoming softer and more concerned.
The director used two lines to describe the changes in family affection. The two lines did not fit and echo as the director thought. As a result, the whole film felt far-fetched.
