In terms of plots, lines, performances, shots, music, etc., the situation of a family that has lost a wife/mother is represented in a plain and artistic way. The feature of the film is also the attraction of this overall sense of harmony.
Unlike ordinary stories about the loss of a loved one, the protagonist did not tell his two daughters about the death of his wife at first, so the two states of father and daughter that the film has always shown have achieved a special dramatic effect, a kind of escape and Inclusive contradictory relationship. The eldest daughter Heidi and her father are the main line of the relationship, while the details of the younger daughter Tang often express the touch of sentimentality with surprises. In the end, my daughter’s knowledge of the facts seemed natural, not the hysteria that has always been shown in the film. At this moment, the film uses music to cover up the words and lines to achieve an extraordinary effect.
A simple story that is not difficult to understand, but in many performances it is worth savoring. Although plain as water, sincere and touching details appear from time to time.
