The whole movie is actually a collection of short stories. The director is very clever in using this kind of expression. I want to put this at the beginning because he made a movie with a theme that might fall into the stereotype, and made it so elegant. This should indeed arouse the respect of others.

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport. General opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy but it's always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

I think many people are well aware of this passage. It roughly means, "Whenever I feel frustrated with the status quo of the world, I think of the pick-up room at Westathrow Airport in London. The public thinks that , We live in a greedy and hateful world, but I don’t think so. To me, true love is everywhere. It may not be eye-catching and it may not make the headlines of the newspaper, but it does exist. It exists. Between father and son, mother and daughter, husband and wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, and old friend. As far as I know, when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center, none of the calls made by passengers from the plane was about hatred. , They are all messages of love. If you look for it patiently, I am sure you will find that true love is actually everywhere." The film starts from the airport pick-up room at London's Westathrow Airport with Narrator and Normandy. The director said that he Always believe that true love is everywhere, so he led us from here to get on his plane to see his scenery.

At this moment, Christmas in the UK is approaching. The expired singer adapted the wet wet wet band's "love is all around" into a song about Christmas, devising a quick love story. And the spark of love only takes a few seconds.

She will miss it, working overtime until late at night, in order to wait for him to say good night. The delicate face looked left and right, fearing that something went wrong and the man frowned. Some loves did come, knowing each other clearly, and did have skin-to-skin contact, but they still missed it at the end of this Christmas, turning into a woman's tears on her face. The usual end will always end without a disease.

When she goes to his house, he wants In that video of her marriage, every picture on the screen was beautiful her face, front, side, top, and back. She slowly realized that something was changing, and in her shock, he Retiring in a hurry, crying in pain on the street, how sad the song called Here With Me sounds. At Christmas, he finally wanted to confess to her. He used the words on the board to silently tell the beginning and end of love. She chased him out and kissed him. He said that this was enough. Love has finally belonged.

The mother of two children is experiencing a marriage crisis, and the husband can't hold onto the female secretary's seduction and loses every step of the way. On Christmas Eve, she still peeked at the Christmas presents her husband bought for her mischievously like a girl. When she saw the golden necklace, she used to think all this was her worry, and when she was sitting around the Christmas tree, her gift turned into a CD of a female celebrity she liked early, and she used to hide in the bedroom as an excuse , In the woman's song, she forbeared crying, turned around to dry her tears and smiled to greet her, but the intense pain in her heart at the moment was still turbulent. Fortunately, the husband finally realized that the family is still intact, but some wounds take time.

He is a silly boy who wants to go to the United States to find true love. A friend said that you can't, you can't. He is still going his own way, carrying a bag, but at the other end, four beautiful women are really fascinated by him. His love is traveling, it looks fast but full of truth.

The Portuguese maid accidentally blown off the paper of the British novelist's novel. The sky was filled with white paper. The language barrier did not prevent their communication. The woman was willing to retreat and jump into the icy lake to be a man. Fishing for those pulpy papers, love may be planted, fermented and matured in this way. When a British man went to a woman's house without authorization, he was very firm when he wanted to marry her. The woman's father took him to find his daughter. People on the road rushed to see this marriage proposal of the century. Finally, a man saw a busy woman in a restaurant. He said in blunt Portuguese that when he married me, the woman replied in English and said yes. The audience was boiling. They are finally together, on a beautiful Christmas.

The little boy who lost his mother is unhappy every day. As a stepfather, he doesn’t know how to break the deadlock with the child. When the boy tells him that he is in love with a girl in the same class, the man boldly encourages him to confess and tell He pursued the tricks of girls and helped the little boy confess his success. In this way, the father and the son developed a close family relationship, even if there is no blood relationship, even if it looks so dissimilar. In order for the little boy to do a good job on the stage to attract the little girl's attention, he desperately beat the drum, hung a note saying I will not eat at the door of the room, and swore to succeed, because the little girl is about to leave England. The last dance party was very exciting, but the confession was still unsuccessful. The man led him to the airport. The scene of the police chasing and running the kid was wonderful enough. His love seemed immature, but his persistence was even better. After being an adult, the little girl finally kissed him. Significance.

For an overdue singer, it is a blessing to have an agent who will never give up. Unfortunately, the singer didn't understand at first. He was cynical and used his agent as a metaphor, and the announcement was also full of laughter. But he never cares about whether he is red, yellow, blue, green, red, orange, or purple, always helping him with the funeral affairs. He is unknown. At Christmas, the singer's ring song finally sold out, and the salted fish turned over. Only then did he discover that this success did not come from an individual. , He ran to find him and told him that Christmas is to be with the one he loves. The brotherhood is open.


The British Prime Minister was a bit annoyed. He didn’t know when he fell in love with an ordinary maid. She claimed that her thighs were too thick. After experiencing the last period of love, she had little confidence in love, but he just liked it quietly. Thanks to her frankness, she can speak foul language in front of the Prime Minister, although it is not helpful, but it is full of truth. Although he repeatedly ordered himself to cut off his thoughts, perhaps it was because she was so frank and heavy that she hit the man's heart. Finally, on Christmas Eve, he drove to the long street where she lived, and the family knocked on the door. Just to find the beloved girl. The man who drags down the disguise is the cutest, and the introverted in the pursuit of love also makes people happy.

There is also a pair of men and women who are limited in shooting. They have never really had sex. They chatted at work, starting with their names, introducing themselves, talking about the prime minister, and talking about all other trivial things. After the filming, they walked around. Together, this Christmas, cuddling with each other for a small amount of love, but enough to last a whole winter.

The film is like this, the stepfather and the woman, the prime minister and the maid, the writer and the servant, the designer and the secretary, the wife and the husband and another woman, the man's love journey, etc., are made up of layers, but they are well guarded. The so-called love can also be said to be gold in the sand. Sometimes, we are desperately eager for gold, desperately digging, and desperately digging, but never get any drops. It is spiritual, between existence and inconspicuousness. When love comes, people will become stupid, obsessive and cute, falling between the dust and ordinary trivial matters, you can’t find its exact position. But it has always been open arms to look, let you hug, it is our lack of vision to discover, this world will not be ashamed, so that love, and you and me, are all eager for, but not envious.
