The female director's unique perspective has shaped two foreign women and two mothers who have never known each other. For the sake of her and her two sons' lives, Ray, who was abandoned by her husband, took a risk and cooperated with the Indian woman Laura to start smuggling. A burgundy second-hand car shuttles on the frozen road at night, and they know that they will be hunted down and imprisoned at any time. In the process of escaping the police again, Ray dropped the heavy package of the smuggling couple, only to find out that it contained their child when he arrived at the destination. Risking extreme danger, Ray went back the same way to find the child, but luckily the child was still breathing. Single mothers who have been abandoned by life are also for their children, and their hardships are unknown. Courageous, calm, and persistent, she raised the pistol left by her husband at a critical moment, and Ray's deep-set eyes shed cloudy tears, because her children were in fear at home, and she couldn't let them worry. Laura, who was taken away by her mother-in-law, finally made enough money to buy her own flesh and blood. When she proudly picked up the baby, her eyes showed the fearlessness of confronting the gangster. The qualifications to live and the qualifications to be mothers hold these two women tightly at the same time. The rare friendship between women is in no way inferior to any friendship in the world. This is the meaning of this film, except for the natural law of survival of the fittest. In addition, there is a law of human nature, which allows people to understand and trust each other, makes the unavoidable risk to gain human dignity outside the law, and makes the lost Ray choose to go to prison instead of Laura, when she turns back in the deep forest without hesitation, I see The river of motherhood that belongs to all women is flowing deep underground, sovereign and inviolable, perpetually frozen on the border between the two countries.
