This is a French film about the feelings of two generations of young and old. There are many such films, such as "Paradise Cinema" and "Meeting Love at the Corner of the World". But the relationship here is more complicated. The old man is a Muslim who runs a grocery store, or a Sufi, from Turkey; the child grew up in Paris and is a Jew. They all live on the Blue Street in Paris, a slum area of Paris in the 1960s, where people of all kinds and different races, prostitutes, and all kinds of people are asking for a living. The old and the young are wonderfully connected.
Moise is sixteen years old. He lives with his father in a low-cost apartment on Blue Street. His parents have long been divorced. His father goes out to work every day, and he reads books after dinner. He rarely communicates with him. And he went to the grocery store every day to buy things and prepare dinner for his father. In my spare time every day, I leaned on the window and looked at the prostitutes standing outside, and watered the girls playing downstairs from time to time. At the age of sixteen, Moses smashed the piggy bank, took out the money, found the prostitute he was already familiar with on the window, and explored the first sex in his life. This has also become a pleasure of his ordinary life, deducting from the food money given by his father, or stealing some cans from the grocery store, accumulating a little money, and quickly spending it happily on the prostitute in front of the door.
Ibrahim is the one who runs a grocery store. He is very old and has experienced the ups and downs of his life. Although his income is only enough to sustain his life, he always faces everything with a smile, and has a wise insight and generous insight into life. He sits behind the counter every day, but he knows many things. He watched Momo steal canned food every day, and knew that Momo went to find a prostitute, but he said, "You and I owe no one to anyone. If you want to steal, I'd rather be with me", or "My Quran says novices from these Professionals start to be better". He also taught Momo how to save money, such as buying canned cats as meat sauce for his father to eat. He is a devout Muslim, but he is not rigid. He can look at the world and life with tolerance.
The friendship between the two grew strangely. Momoa found warmth in the grocery store and gained a lot of knowledge about life, which his father could not give him; and Ibrahim regarded Momoa as his son. , Adds a lot of fun to my lonely life. He took Momo to the Turkish bath, bought leather shoes for Momo, and went for a walk in the city with Momo. The simple words between them actually contained profound philosophy of life. For Momo, it would make him Benefit for life. Momo's father was unemployed. He could not face the pressure of life and chose to commit suicide, leaving Momo alone in the world. At this time, Momo regarded Ibrahim as his father, and Ibrahim also assumed the responsibility of his father and formally adopted Momo.
Ibrahim took Momo and drove their newly-purchased sports car on their return journey, heading to the seaside of Turkey, where Ibrahim was born and his wife's resting place. They have traveled many places and many countries. They have seen the easy life, they have also seen the poor life, and smelled the smell of happiness-a slow-paced life, and they spend their entire lives to experience happiness. They went to Ibrahim's hometown, where his world is also the end of his life. Ibrahim’s sports car had a car accident in his hometown. It was then that he realized: "I have reached the end but I don’t know it."
In the final dialogue with Momo, the filming was very philosophical and very philosophical. Touching. Facing the fear of Momo, Ibrahim said that he was just going to reunite with the vast eternity, and thought that he was worthy of this life, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied. Having lived so old, there used to be a wife who loved her all his life, and a well-run grocery store, not to mention Momo in the end. Life is like this, what's the regret!
In the end, Momo inherited all of Ibrahim's inheritance and his life. He stayed behind the counter every day and looked at the children who were also stealing canned food, just like Ibrahim was born again. He also inherited the Qur'an that Ibrahim often read, and Ibrahim's life is also hidden in it. That is the secret of his life and the guide for his life-two small blue flowers that have withered. Life is like this, life is everything, whether it is warm or desolate, if you live a serious life, your life is happy.
"Look, although I work hard all my life, I always focus on my slow pace, never rushing to make money and attract a large number of customers... Spending time to live, this is the real secret of happiness." Ibrahim Said to Moise.
