we all need redemption

She's not pretty, she has an impressive face. Alone, and a lonely job - CCTV operator. Every day I see all kinds of people through a small screen. A middle-aged man has a chubby bad dog (it looks just like VICTOR's bad dog, so fat that he can't walk), walking the dog is what he does every day; a female cleaner, When she was working, she turned on her headphones and danced, secretly happy;...
One day, she saw a face hidden in the depths of her memory. That man, with disheveled hair, living in a "desolate and cheap apartment (in the director's language)", was slutty and had a criminal record. She started following him through the small screen, trying to get close to him. He killed her husband? Why is she approaching him? These questions followed me closely. The closer she got to him, the more puzzled I became. The man wasn't as bad as he looked, he was carving, he was gentle, and he had a daughter who didn't know he existed. He's trying to repair their relationship, like shoving her a pack of paper-wrapped lipstick, nail polish, etc., on her way from school, a bit of a silly and awkward fatherly love. It wasn't until later, when she broke her face and ripped her clothes in the bathroom, that this was a woman's revenge. He killed her child.
She watched from surveillance video that he was taken away by the police and then saw his daughter go to the apartment building to look for him.
She dropped the charges and waited for him on the way to tell her what happened. It was a traffic accident. her husband and children. What she couldn't forgive was herself. That day, she yelled at the child to get her out of her sight because she was going to rest. So the husband went out with the child. An out-of-control car crashed into the bus stop. He said they must have died on the spot. I don't know if that will comfort her. "Things like this happen every day, this is life."
The female cleaner, one moment she was still contentedly facing a man's hospitality, the next moment, she looked sadly at the man and a younger and more beautiful The woman had an intimate conversation; the fat dog died of illness, and now the middle-aged man was accompanied by a black puppy, equally happy.
this is life.

Whether it's England or Scotland, no matter how bright the sun is, I still feel cold. Grey, cold, this is the shade of the UK.
Never have a dog when you are alone, it will look even more lonely.
