7. From the name, you know that this film is related to the elderly, revealing a microcosm of the life of a certain part of the elderly in Spain. The protagonist of the story, Emilio, was the president of a community bank branch. Although he was not a particularly successful career when he was young, he was a leader anyway. After getting old, his memory gradually declines, and he often regards his son and daughter-in-law as customers who come to the bank for loans. From this, it can be seen that Emilio's memory is declining, and he will suddenly forget that he is old. Simply put, that is, Signs of Alzheimer's disease. Although there are only a few people with Alzheimer's disease, they are a part of the group that we cannot ignore. They start with poor memory, then they forget the people around them and even themselves, and finally lose the ability to take care of themselves. In desperation, his son and daughter-in-law were busy with work and could not take care of him all the time, so they could only send him to a nursing home. In fact, in China, there are many such situations. Many elderly people need someone to take care of them in their lives. Their children are busy with work and have to send the elderly to nursing homes. There are also elderly people who take the initiative to go to nursing homes because they are afraid of bothering their children. No matter what the reason is, no matter how complete the facilities of the nursing home are, it always lacks the taste of home, which is a place that many elderly people are very resistant to. The nursing home where Emilio lives in the film is a five-star, with a gym, swimming pool, and TV hall, but the elderly can use too little. These entertainment facilities are basically decorations. Even if the TV is on, the elderly are sitting on the sofa. Dozing off, doing nothing. Ultimately, these facilities are for children who come to nursing homes to give them peace of mind. Most of the old people in it suffer from Alzheimer's disease, or they have difficulty moving and can't take care of themselves. Emilio was very resistant on his first day in the nursing home, frowning even as he hugged his son goodbye. Roommate Miguel is an old man who loves to cheat and cheat. He and Emilio didn't get along at first, and Emilio always suspected him of stealing his watch and socks. Emilio really realized his condition when the nurse took the wrong medicine for him and another elderly man with severe Alzheimer's disease, because most of the medicines in it were the same, at that moment Emilio sat stunned. There, Miguel watched. The film inserts many stories of these old people when they were young, love, friendship, and pet feelings, reminding people that no matter how old they are now, they were also young and romantic. Later, Emilio and Miguel became friends. In order to help Emilio escape the fate of going upstairs, they joined forces to deceive the doctor, and also planned to escape from the nursing home. In the end, the plan failed, and several old people returned to their original places. Emilio's condition deteriorated and moved upstairs . When Miguel found Emilio's socks and watch hidden under the bed, he finally broke down and cried. When you are old, you are really helpless, and you have enough energy. No one can guarantee that they will not forget everything when they are old, nor can they guarantee that they will be full of curiosity about the world when they are old. So, while you are young and your body can support your dreams, what are you waiting for if you don't fight.
