I kept getting goosebumps all over my body while watching this movie, I just can't stand this kind of tender scene, it's not numb but it really infects me.
Living in an orphanage that follows the rules, turning off the lights, getting up, and praying together, although life can’t be said to be bad, they just can’t touch what they want most.
The education of the nuns made them rely on the Virgin Mary as their soul, and it also made them believe that one day they would be adopted, so every time they lined up, they grinned and greeted politely, hoping to Be liked, end the lonely life and take off the name of the orphan.
But when the children around them were picked up one by one but no one cared about them, they began to understand that the increase in age made them less and less likely to be adopted, and that belief began to shake slowly until they went to the lady star. The island of the cave.
The warm sunshine, the beautiful girl, the enthusiastic ex-military couple, the weird fisherman, the motorcycle show couple, they seem to have no connection, but it is the summer they brought the four boys out of their shackles.
The wish that had been extinguished was rekindled again. This is the only adoption competition between them, which made them have unprecedented suspicion, jealousy and scheming. Although Maps had no intention of joining the adoption competition, because he met the enthusiastic Lucy, The conflict that the four of them had been secretly surging had added a layer of alienation.
Lucy seems to be a master of love, and she is also young. Meeting a simple Maps is like all adolescent girls, just to add an interesting experience to this summer vacation, so she pulled him in, Maps had always been lonely But because of the encounter with Lucy he began to feel that life became interesting and happy, so he fell in love. But after tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, Lucy walked away. This feeling that could only be called "Summer Hunting" for Lucy was a big blow to Maps, and he began to understand that there was nothing wrong with it. Eternal, even though all the problems of adoption are still there, he still has no support.
So the contradiction between the four began to surge to the cusp.
Misty's long-awaited resentment finally erupted when Maps smashed the blueprint of his family portrait. In his eyes, being destroyed is not a painting, but the family and belonging he has always longed for.
In the end, of course, as Misty said at the beginning, he had always believed that he would be adopted, and he was indeed selected in the end, but in the end he refused, because he found that he had already had something to rely on.
And these four also found a sense of belonging this summer.
Maps didn't want to be adopted, he liked who he was, so he ended up being a priest, and I think he probably never forgot Lucy, whether it was his first love or something, until he died There are buttons left by Lucy in the urn.
So he hopes that the ashes can be scattered back to the small island of cave, because he misses the wonderful summer of undercurrent and youthful growth.
