accept imperfection

The story revolves around the wish of Grandpa Kapoor, an extremely cheerful and optimistic old man, whose biggest wish is to take a family portrait including everyone in the family before he dies. Taking the opportunity of the old man's heart attack, the two grandsons of Kapoor's family came back from abroad to visit their grandfather. The eldest is rigorous and serious, and is a typical successful man with a successful career; the second is somewhat cynical, but has always dreamed of being a writer. The eldest has always been the ideal child valued by the family, while the second has always grown up in the shadow of the eldest, sticking to the label of "not good enough".
The atmosphere of Kapoor's house is very familiar to me, and the one I feel most deeply is the stubborn mother who never rubs the sand in her eyes. The state of the family seems to be always in quarrels. There are constant quarrels because of the suspicion that the husband is having an affair, because of financial constraints, and because the boss is finally found to be gay. . .
This stubborn mother can directly disrupt the situation because her husband's lover came to the party regardless of the grandfather's 90th birthday; she can finally refuse to take that rare family photo because she suspects that her husband has gone to her lover's house. suffered a car accident. It feels like a very familiar character, pitiful and hateful. The woman is soft and happy, and for some reason, seeing her painful appearance, she feels a little guilty in her heart.
The eldest began to face his true self in pain, and told his mother that in this family, no one is a saint. . . Maybe people should be more tolerant and understanding.
The final family photo is that after the car accident, the old man called the children back again. In the case of his deceased son, he put on a big happy photo of his son, fulfilling this last wish. Therefore, don't always pursue perfection and accept the things in life. not perfect.
