Interesting movie

You will find the movie more and more interesting after passing through the beginning of the old man's movie. The black-and-white elderly couple plan to sell their 40-year-old house to buy another one. At the beginning of the movie, the dog, who is regarded as his son, is sick and hospitalized. The high operation fee makes the two characters show their personalities. The role of the real estate agent interspersed in the movie, with a funny professional smile, makes the film fast-paced. The scene has always been interspersed with a young American guy with Islamic national descent being tracked by the white world as terrorists, and even the housing prices are affected by him. This bridge is exactly what the old gentleman experienced decades ago. The marriage that was married to black and white back then was under tremendous pressure from the secular world. He knows the taste of racial discrimination, just like the current American attitude towards Islamic countries. When the old lady is self-willed, the grandfather is in the same mood as the audience. Why should we leave our beloved little home? At the end, the real estate agent as a relative is finally no longer friendly to them. But the dogs stood up and lived happily with them.

Alex Carver: [narrating] Those few days were like one big rollercoaster ride. And, like most rides, we ended up where we began. Still, it reminded us who we are. What we have. It was worth it, if only for that.
Alex Carver: Maybe one day we'll sell. Stop climbing the stairs. But for now we'll just deal with what is. The important thing is it brought us back here. Together. Back to our senses. And to our home.
