Have you ever imagined that "giants" really exist in this world? Will it trample on our homeland, or will it destroy our will? This film tells us that giants really exist, where there are people there are shadows, and where there are shadows, there are giants.
At the beginning of the film, a girl of about 14 or 5 years old is wearing a shawl, wearing a rabbit hairpin, dressed in fancy clothes, sloppy face and dirty fingers, like a scavenger who survives in the apocalypse. In the next second, she was like a "witch" again, drumming a container with an unknown liquid. In a panic, she took a tool and climbed on a bicycle, and hurriedly shuttled through a forest. The gloomy weather seemed like something dangerous would appear in the next second. She skillfully smeared symbols on tree trunks and vines as she had practiced beforehand. The girl's cute appearance had a strong visual contrast with this eerie forest.
Before night fell, the girl went home. It turns out that her name is Barbara. She has a brother who is obsessed with games and a sister who temporarily manages all the trivial matters of the family. Although they are under the same roof, the relationship between the three is not good, full of generation gaps and quarrels from time to time. The sister in the family has been acting as a parent and constantly trying to communicate. Because of Barbara's stubbornness, the brother is restless, and many exchanges have been fruitless. One night when Barbara came back from her forest tent, she happened to hear her sister calling on the stairs. She was fired from the company on the other end of the phone. The unsatisfactory work and family pressure made the sister who was about to collapse cover her voice and cry. When she got up, Barbara felt a little guilty but as if she didn't hear anything, she closed the door softly and went back to her bedroom.
The next day, Barbara, who has a withdrawn personality, was playing with her giant illustrated book in her forest tent, and she had to record something on it every day. The paintings and contents in it were only understood by herself. In the past few days, Barbara has always had a hunch that the giant will appear out of thin air in the forest, and it will break the tranquility of this small town. The power of the giant is enough to destroy everything. So these days she desperately set up traps in the forest, smeared magic symbols, and all the preparations were for that day. Thinking of this, Barbara reverently stroked her pink cross-body backpack, chanting a spell in her mouth: "Please give me the divine weapon to defeat giants!" She seemed to understand her call, and her backpack lit up with a white holy Light, Barbara snickered, her face full of confidence.
Barbara's home is very close to the beach, and she often buries some strange things on the beach. Once she was looking down and was stopped by a girl about her age: "Hello, my name is Sophia, I am Just moved here." Barbara knew very well that the girl wanted to befriend her, and she ran away after a few perfunctory words.
The sentence Sophia put on her lips: "What's your name?" was left in the sea breeze. After Barbara left, Sophia was left alone on the beach, and she walked curiously to the place where Barbara had sneakily left traces just now. She pushed through the sand and found that a thick hemp rope was buried underneath, and the two ends of the rope extended all the way to the roots of the tree. This was a trap-type device, Sophia thought at this moment.
The next day, Barbara was waiting for the school bus at the highway station. When she saw the girl who greeted her yesterday, she was wondering if she would come forward to talk, but Sophia had come to her: "I can sit next to you when I get on the bus. Is it?" Then the movie shot turned - Sophia looked back at Barbara in the last row, and then looked timidly at the scenery outside the window.
In the school cafeteria at noon, Barbara was in trouble by several female gangsters in the class, because Barbara always behaved like a freak, and her eccentric personality made them extremely uncomfortable. Barbara didn't show any signs of weakness. She looked straight at the female gangsters with anger. Seeing that the two sides immediately started fighting, Sophia brought the teacher over. The teacher called the gangsters and others to the principal's office. Barbara and Sophia Signal a smile.
Because of the cafeteria, Barbara recognized Sophia and regarded each other as best friends. She took Sophia to her forest tent and enthusiastically shared stories and legends about giants. Barbara introduces her to the types of giants, swamp giants, forest giants, rock giants, etc., and the most ferocious king of giants "Titans", and tells Sophia that the artifact in her messenger bag can defeat the Titans.
Sophia listened attentively. She was surprised that Barbara was telling the truth.
A few days later, Barbara was called to the principal's office because she contradicted the teacher in physical education class. The principal scolded Barbara. Seeing that Barbara's oil and salt are not in, she can only transfer to the school's psychological counselor. The black female psychological teacher was very patient and tried to communicate with Barbara many times. But Barbara thought she was always making fun of herself. At the same time, her sixth sense thought that the giant was coming. After choking the psychology teacher a few times, she hurriedly left the school.
Barbara was running fast in the forest, and suddenly found a sturdy tree. She hid and watched the gradually forming giant. She kept luring the giant to a pre-arranged trap, next to an abandoned train not far from home. Barbara struggles through the train, the giant chasing after her and destroying all the carriages she runs through. In the end, the giant was trapped by the wires in the trap, and Barbara pressed the switch and the giant fell, swallowed by the fire. Then, she went home leisurely.
After Barbara left, Sophia came to the scene and found that it was not a giant, but a burning house.
Soon after, the weather bureau predicted a tornado in the town and advised everyone to stay home for the next few days. Sophia found out that Barbara had not come to school for several days, so she had to go to her home with a psychology teacher. During this visit, Sofia walked into Barbara's bedroom and found a photo of her and her mother going to the ball, and her mother's head was pasted with a hand-painted giant head. Sofia seemed to find something, she ran Went to the beach to find Barbara.
The weather changed suddenly and the water kept churning. Barbara stood on the lighthouse and told Sophia to hide in her tent, because the strongest giant "Titan" was coming soon. The Titan was formed from the sea, and Barbara shouted fearlessly, but could not resist the giant's strong arm, and the lighthouse was shattered.
Barbara falls on the beach and finds the artifact she had dropped from her messenger bag - a wooden axe. Barbara chanted a spell, and the axe transformed into a thunder-clad battle axe, giving the Titan a fatal blow.
The fallen giant said: "I came only for you."
Barbara's heart-wrenching cries kept repeating: "I beat you, I beat you..."
After the wind and rain, Barbara looked more tenacious. After experiencing the struggle and resistance just now, she finally woke up. Back home, she walked up the stairs that frightened her, and opened the door that she had been waiting for a long time to open.
The moment the door was opened, the air was silent, and a woman with a pale face was lying on the bed, breathing weakly. The quilt covering his body rippled slightly like a bug falling into the sea. Barbara stepped forward and held the woman's scrawny hand and wept silently: "Mom!" The woman seemed to hear someone calling, and slowly opened her eyes, put her hand on Barbara's arm, and closed her eyes again. people hug.
A few days later, the mother died of illness. Barbara and her brother and sister came to attend her mother's funeral. The relatives and friends who came had a heavy face, and each gave a bouquet of flowers. After everyone was gone, Barbara put the messenger bag on her mother's coffin, which she thought was the best gift.
The night after her mother died, Barbara came out of her bedroom and went up to the second floor to open her mother's room. She seemed to be deliberately searching for her mother's breath. Barbara looked at the window and saw a giant walking towards her by the sea. Barbara bowed her hands, and after the giant signaled, she left in the opposite direction, perhaps forever.
It turned out that the "giant" that Barbara defeated was the bad news of her mother's illness. She was always reluctant to accept the reality and closed herself in fantasy for a long time. This "giant" has always been a magical barrier in her heart. But in the end, through his rational resistance, he finally got rid of the knot, and the giant of the image would disappear forever.
