A sentimental middle-aged man who lives alone, a meticulous government civil servant, his job is to take care of the affairs of the strangers who have passed away in his jurisdiction. Because of his reverence for life and love for his work, he has also experienced different life trajectories. Characters and stories are driving May's lonely soul and life, walking silently.
When May was about to be laid off, I was shocked, as if a bird that was supposed to fly in the sky had to break its wings and let it learn to swim, a person who loves life so much, but always has to be crushed and destroyed by life. To deal with the last case, to end the monotonous life of decades, he wants to try to change, cook and cook by himself, order different drinks, urinate on the slick and snobbish boss's car, change the habit of driving, roadside and The homeless drank a bottle of spirits and even went on a date, but because he was not as cautious as before, he fell into a pool of blood...
In a dialogue in the film, funerals are for the living, not the dead. May's life is quiet but meaningful, so the cruel ending will also have a warm stroke.
Often a light narrative can give people a common impact. When May looked at the hot chocolate drink, looked at the cake, when he looked at the sea and the sky, what was going on in his mind? I think only really lonely people always do this.
