Thirty-three years ago, a young boy with a bloody blood shot and killed his brother in front of a younger brother. He was punished in prison. The younger brother has lived in the shadow of being blamed by his mother since then. 33 years later, times have changed and things have changed. When these two adults who have long lived in inner condemnation were invited by a TV show to sit face-to-face and sue their respective thoughts of forgiveness and forgiveness. If you were one of them, how would you face or say something? Perhaps, it is extremely difficult for you to be able to sit down and think quietly.

After briefly explaining the reasons for the former love, the film went directly to the preparatory process of the show scene, and began to separate the detailed interpretation of the psychological activities of the two. The younger brother went from calm to irritable, thinking about how to take revenge and hatred, and even complained about the organizer's joking mentality, and finally left in a hurry when he was separated from the murderer. Although the murderer, played by Liam Neeson, appears calm on the surface, the inner struggle is evident. A single-lens confession similar to confession and taking this as a warning is telling everyone his entangled psychology over the years and admonishing future generations how to deal with it. When the younger brother left, it seemed that the matter was over. But Liam Neeson did not give up, and actively sought a way to interview the younger brother alone.

The fight after the meeting was inevitable. After the two fell down the second floor with bruised noses and bruised faces, Liam Neeson's words "forget me" finally solved the nightmare that had been entangled between them for 33 years. It is in response to the old Chinese saying that the bell must be tied to the bell. The film deeply analyzes the complex mentality of the two sides with psychological interpretation. The two powerful players are crazy, and it really makes people see the pungent acting skills that an expert can know if they have a shot.
