The film is roughly divided into two perspectives, and also two protagonists
One is under 12 with baloma
She is so smart that she understands the essence of life at a young age
Give birth to pessimistic "question" and plan to commit suicide one day
One is Honey, a 54-year-old concierge
She has been working as a concierge for more than 20 years, but she is not numb in such days
She reads books, movies, has a cat, and occasionally eats chocolate
She is candid and truthful
Between these two roles, Baroma is more like a recorder and observer
And Honey is the graceful hedgehog
The change happened between her and Ozugero
Like two planets in the vast universe that receive the same frequency signal from each other
As Ozukaro said to Honey, "No one has ever seen the real you."
At that moment, the hedgehog covered with thorns, the snow and ice in the heart is slowly melting
It turns out that hedgehogs don't really want to be hedgehogs...
Every spiky thorn on a hedgehog, it's not an aggressive thorn
but a thorn of self-protection
Like, hedgehogs curl up when other animals approach
Bury your head in the dark, revealing only the sharp thorns
How it is like men and women in life, in the city
longing for intimacy, longing for understanding
eager to hug, eager to tell each other
It can be after repeated disappointment, after injury
Each man erects spikes and builds cages
make yourself look stronger
Everyone slowly learns to use offense as defense
When the second before the injury occurs
Then he said harsh words and walked away
Everyone isolates himself from the world
there, occasionally dancing alone
Most of the time, just looking out through the cracks
Fortunately, some people can meet the same kind who let their guard down
Some people may live their whole lives in a fighting attitude
But, as the end of the movie says
"It's not death that matters, it's what people do when they die, Honey, you're ready to love."
