However, the film did not mention some specific difficulties, nor did it say what the protagonist encountered when he was young. It may be a story of not being with the most beloved person, or there may be a big conflict with his son.

In this way, I find it difficult for the audience to understand, and it is difficult to substitute into the protagonist’s emotions.

The soft-hearted places often store the things that we devote the most emotions to. For some reason, we store them and don't want to open them again. But maybe it's a better choice to face it and let it go. What once made us painful may be that we took the wrong path. Indulging in it may seem magnificent in loneliness, but we have to go back to the normal path after all.

In the story, the protagonist shuts himself up, no one understands. At the end of the story, he opens the door to his heart and begins to establish contact with the people around him.
