When a film expresses a story very completely, or tells her staged survival situation around a certain core character, I think it is actually very rare. It may be difficult for this kind of work to define exactly what its theme is. Although it clearly presents the complex and heartbreaking situation of a little girl after the loss of her mother, we cannot simply define it, because it simply presents the pain of a child's spiritual world. She is so young, pure, innocent, sensitive, fragile, strong, ignorant, mature, she is just a little girl, within her very simple family and social relations, her belief in her mother still exists and the pain of realizing that her mother does not exist It is antagonistic and tenaciously entangled, so we see the inner suffering of a little girl who lost her mother, and witness her longing for hope and struggle to face reality, and finally reconciliation with self-obsessedness. The performance of the little girl is unbelievable. Her pain was imprisoned in a small spiritual world at her age. What truly makes me pitiful is her incomparably pious innocence in the face of the sad reality!
