The film uses the protagonist’s adult car accident recovery memory and the teenage family’s escape from the motherland for a two-line cross narrative, showing the dark history of the Bulgarian socialist camp. To be honest, compared with other films that reflect on the history of the same period, the pattern of the incident is somewhat shallow. , So that the humanistic feelings are not prominent, and the realm is low, and the current amnesia journey lacks drama. It is mainly a pair of cuts with the past, so the overall tension is also weak. The first two transitions have some technical clues. After that, it disappeared. Although the historical narrative was wrapped in a road film shell, it was a work with a level of execution higher than that of creativity. After
reading it, it seemed to learn backgammon! The soundtrack is praised, and there is no resistance to all kinds of guitar accordions. The picture is also beautiful, and the self-searching along the way would not be so easy if it weren't for the beautiful scenery, haha. The director is very good at narrating the two lines clearly, without heaviness or losing patience, this kind of storytelling ability is the most able to drive the audience's emotions. Grandpa’s wisdom is also one of the biggest highlights of the whole film, I really like it! It's just this title, it really doesn't feel good. The English name seems to be that the world is big, there is redemption at the corner, and there is a turning point. This is more in line with the theme of the movie.
