Benjamin was born as a baby who looked 70 and 80 years old. His appearance was wrinkled, like an old man, but in fact he was really a baby with weak limbs and sparse hair. His mother passed away due to a dystocia, and his father thought he was a monster and threw him at the door of a kindhearted man. In the place where he was raised, he met Daisy. Daisy felt that he was not an ordinary person. Although they looked very different, they were actually children of similar ages, and soon they became good friends.
Daisy grew up slowly, and Benjamin slowly became younger. . . This is a very strange process. It's like two trains driving opposite each other. At one point they will meet and then continue to drive in their own direction. The difference is that one is gradually aging and the other is gradually younger. The same is the state of mind.
Both of them have experienced something, and in the end they walked together at the point where they met. Like all people who love each other, they lived happily for a while. One day, Daisy told Benjamin: I'm pregnant. This is mixed news for them. What Benjamin fears most is that the child is born just like him. Daisy said that he is my child no matter what, and I must give birth. She is a normal girl. A few years after the girl was born, Benjamin left home silently. He was getting younger and getting older. When he couldn't take care of himself, Daisy couldn't take care of his two children. Besides, how could he tell his daughter the fact that his father was getting younger?
Benjamin left the person he loved the most and went to all over the world alone, but he would send a postcard back wherever he went, and he would come back once. Daisy has grown old, her daughter has grown up, and a stepfather who loves her.
Then they left again, and the two met again. Benjamin had become a child and his memory had been blurred. People from the Child Welfare Society found Daisy through a diary. Finally, Benjamin became a baby, closed his eyes, and was in the gray-haired In Daisy's arms, died...
The rhythm is a bit slow, but isn't the film about time meant to be enjoyed slowly? His rhythm fits its theme.
