Three short stories are told by young female writers using the technique of drama within a play. The first story is that a French female director and a Korean couple went to the beach of the home port. Korean women who were expecting to give birth were very wary of French women. Korean men once kissed French women, and then they tried to kiss them again, but they were rejected. Afterwards, the French woman met the young lifeguard at the seaside. The lifeguard wrote a song for her. Before leaving, she wrote a note that the lifeguard could not understand and left it to him. The second story is that a French woman who came to Korea alone, made an appointment with her lover in a small hotel on the beach of the home port, but her lover temporarily delayed the meeting. After the two meet, the man eats the lifeguard's vinegar. Later, the lifeguards saw through the binoculars, the man and the woman were joking on the beach, seeing the happiness of the two people surrounded by the sea, but he was unhappy. In the third story, a French woman who was betrayed by her husband followed a folklore professor to the home port beach, was led out of the hotel by a married man, and was about to kiss but was discovered by his wife. The French woman contacted an English-speaking monk through a professor and asked a very strange but puzzled question. As a result, she asked the monk for a Montblanc pen. Later, the old lady of folklore complained to the monk, saying how the pen she gave him could be given to others.
No matter what kind of life the French women lead in the three stories, no matter whether there is a small lighthouse on the beach of the home port, the scenery written by hand will not change, but like the physical evidence that life does not flow, reminding us Be aware of each day clearly.
In this film, Hong Changxiu still focuses on men, criticizing the various inferiorities and weaknesses of men. But occasionally, the camera will also be aimed at women, including inexplicable lies (the girl who lent the umbrella to her obviously did not take it down, but said that she had taken it away), including writing notes (the night before tomorrow, I didn’t want to hear what the lifeguard wrote about it) Song, but left a note that others couldn’t understand the next day), including being abducted by a man (knowing that a pregnant woman only went to bed, but followed her husband to see something “special”), etc., Hong Changxiu I also realized that the language world of women may not be all sincere and gentle.
In addition, the interesting thing is that there will always be two roads forked in the middle of the road, one leading to the material store and the other leading to the spiritual beacon.
Finally, the film's music is soothing and immersive, and it feels like the camera slowly releases some kind of emotion with the characters.
