This movie is actually the protagonist Taeko's memories of the fifth grade of elementary school during the summer vacation at her brother-in-law's hometown in the countryside, and this memory is intermittently interspersed between this vacation, which can also be understood as the continuous past and present two scenes Switch between traversals. Taeko herself doesn't know why she always recalls the content of the fifth grade. The reason she gave herself was that she experienced a turning point in her life in the fifth grade, so she may also experience a turning point now. Sure enough, after meeting Junxiong in the countryside, She found someone worth waiting for her whole life, and finally stayed. However, I think the focus of the film is not on how Taeko finds true love in reality, but on the various past events that Taeko experienced in fifth grade, including love, loss, surprise, and sadness. The shy baseball player Hirota who asked about the weather, the only time he was beaten by his father, the fractional division test that scored 29 points, the drama rehearsal that he couldn't attend, the transfer student who didn't want to shake his hand, etc. Wait, it all appeared in front of 27-year-old Taeko, made her cry, made her laugh.
Fortunately, I am not like Taeko who can only think of things from a certain period of time. Many times, one thing suddenly pops into my mind, and then I think carefully and find that this is something that happened to me in a certain month in a certain year. Some things It's funny, and some are just the opposite. It only takes a dozen seconds before the matter disappears and I switch to the present moment. It seems that it is impossible for me to string together the things I have passed and then outline my previous experience, but it doesn't matter, the past is over, as long as I feel that I can see the shadow of my past when I think about it occasionally, it is enough.
