Speaking of famous detectives, many people think of Conan, or Sherlock, or Poirot for the first time. These are all familiar detective images, but in this "detective film" released some time ago, there is a A special detective.
This is a documentary from Chile, which was shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival and the San Sebastian Film Festival, and was nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.
The protagonists in the film have no appearance, no traffic, and no topics. They are a group of 80+ year old grandpas and grandmas, but they have created an interesting and in-depth masterpiece.
The male protagonist is the uncle Sai on the poster. Don't look at his appearance, but he is a genuine spy. After accepting the task, he went undercover for a long time, and finally retired quietly without disturbing anyone.
Mr. Sai went to the detective agency for an interview. This detective agency is actually a MasterCard company, which specializes in solving all kinds of strange customer needs. For example, this time, the customer proposed to hire a person to enter the nursing home to inspect the situation of her mother in the nursing home:
Has there been abuse, fraud, dirty toilets, elderly people walking around wearing dirty diapers for a long time, and nursing workers beating the elderly...
After some training, Mr. Sai can start his job. As soon as he entered, he took the initiative to talk to the insiders of the nursing home. After a preliminary understanding of the situation, he successfully found the room where the target person lived.
Uncle Sai originally just wanted to be a low-key undercover agent and secretly complete the tasks assigned by the organization. Unexpectedly, his personable, refined and polite temperament was quickly noticed by some grandmothers.
They discussed in private, and a gentleman came to the courtyard. Unlike most "bad old men", he was enthusiastic and proactive, elegant in manner, and looked very energetic.
At the anniversary event of the nursing home, the grandmothers took the initiative to dance with Uncle Sai, and pushed him to the throne of the "Most Popular Actor", and let him go out in a parade in a float. One of them was named Berta. The old lady also fell in love with Uncle Sai at first sight.
After a period of investigation, Mr. Sai did not find any abuse. The nursing home was peaceful. Compared with the quality of service, loneliness was the worst. Many people left the elderly there and ignored their feelings.
Famous detectives can come in style and retire, but what about these abandoned people? Only by continuing to wait, they comforted themselves: their relatives will come to see them one day.
