The flavor of magic and reincarnation is fully revealed in Mi Tan's debut novel. Although it is not a novel attempt to use the same actor to play different roles, it can be said to be ingenious when expounding the theme of reincarnation of fate, especially considering that this is a A film made in the early 90's. The most commendable thing is that the film exudes an unintentional natural beauty, which is highly compatible with the plot and the background of the times. First of all, it will not make the audience feel abrupt. This primitive natural-light photography and aesthetic orientation has only really survived in European cinema, and so far, like Ken Loach's Scottish look, or Bruno Dumont's portrayal of a small town in northern France, not to mention the Nordic ones The directors with eccentric styles all reveal the original taste of being isolated from the commercial metropolis. In the early works of Mittan, the descriptions seem to be related to the natural and humanistic features of the Basque Country in Spain. This may be inseparable from the director's personal background.

Of course, this amazing debut still has some dissatisfaction, and the first is the unfamiliar background of the times. The audience who are unfamiliar with the history of the Spanish Civil War and other history will be unbearable. In addition, the director's ambiguous account of the relationship between the characters makes the audience's understanding of part of the plot biased, which is understandable, although this seems to be an intentional design.
