The story seems to end at the very beginning, the suicide of a young girl.

Athens, Greece, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with the Great Depression, high unemployment, and high suicide rate, seems to be unimaginable to people in other parts of the world. In such a picturesque ancient capital, people still cannot escape depression. The cage of , scrambling to death.

Then, starting with the girl's suicide, it was a family problem that was covered up by the grief of the whole family, and it was an even more unimaginable sin under the cruel and violent family education.

The sin is peeled off layer by layer, right down to the core. Heinous, but not unexpected in the loss of humanity.

In order to survive, man can become like a beast.

The father betrays the daughter, the mother turns a blind eye. The whole family is under the control of the patriarchy and is full of servility. A trace of the awakening of the battle of the trapped beasts will always be suppressed at the end. Otherwise it can only end in death.

The most beautiful dream is to go to the beach with the whole family, but it never comes true. When the door is closed, everything is restored to the right of darkness, and the children will never get out of this magic cave in the name of home. The father is down, the mother is up. In order to survive the Great Depression, how should a family of basically all women survive?

This film returns to the essence of film art - recording the truth of life. Not only is it an entertainment that temporarily escapes reality like a hallucinogen, so it can only bring you gloom and anxiety, but not joy.

You can hate it as much as you want, but you can't escape the reality of it.
