In this film, it seems that you can see all kinds of situations in life, there is no decoration, everything is so real. The emptiness and loneliness of people, the desire to be loved, the power and cruelty of the state machine.
A Moroccan girl is bored and deliberately undresses for her peeping brother. A deaf and dumb Japanese girl is always looking for love, but she is always rejected. Returning to the United States, wife and husband embark on a journey to heal the loss of a child, all for the sake of loving and being loved.
In a poor and backward place, parents handed guns to underage children in a relaxed mood, but a young child is actually good at shooting. He should learn knowledge at school and play with his peers, but they need to work hard for life , using a loaded gun as a toy. Moroccan police shoot terrified teenager, ignoring the fleeing children they face. A Mexican woman who has lived in the United States for 16 years cannot appeal but can only accept the fact that she was deported. What is the reason for all this?
The story is sad, but still a little hopeful. The couple fell in love again, the girl clasped her father's hand, the Mexican woman had a son who could comfort her, the Moroccan youth and his friendly family who had been helping the American couple without asking for anything in return.
Just thinking about it while walking, I met a girl sitting on the side of the road crying loudly. It was midnight and there were few pedestrians. I couldn't help but ask, "Do you need help?", but there was no response. I thought she might just want to speak out like this. Just cry. Continuing to walk forward, I saw a boy who was walking slowly stopped and looked back at the girl. Suddenly, it turned out to be such a show, "play is like life, life is like play"...
