work was adapted from the 2013 Mexican film No se aceptan Devoluciones (No se aceptan Devoluciones). With the French people's good at expressing human relations and emotional conflicts, after the French adaptation of the storyline, it made a small gain at the beginning of its release, and its influence exceeded the original work.

As a way to resolve the regret brought about by the absence of this mother's love, Samuel and surrounding friends weave a "world travel mother" and regular emails, etc. White lies made mother love not disappear in little Gloria's mind. This is very good to maintain the child's childhood.
