Using cold humor to confront the absurd world, Roy Anderson's film style is quite refined, all kinds of people complain about their fucking life, cry about fat women who no one understands themselves, and who are called witches by their husbands A female teacher, a funeral musician who lost her pension, a man who dreams of sitting in an electric chair because of broken china, a girl who has a crush on a non-mainstream singer, all real predicaments are expressed in non-realistic contexts, and the mobile apartment is amazing

The color of the picture is very soft, like an elegant and clean gouache painting; it just falls into and falls into illogical fragments one by one – funny, but helpless, and a little sad. Respectfully! creative. Respectfully! Life.

The psychiatrist: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
[examines the large stack of patient's files]
The psychiatrist: I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I'm completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren't satisfied with their lives, who want to have fun, who want me to help them with that - it wears you out, I can tell you. My life isn't exactly a lot of fun either. People demand so much. That's the conclusion I've drawn after all these years. They demand to be happy, at the same time as they are egocentric, selfish, and ungenerous. Well, I would like to be honest. I would like to say that they are quite simply mean, most of them. Spending hour after hour in therapy, trying to make a mean person happy... There's no point. You can't do it. I've stopped doing it. These days, I just prescribe pills. The stronger, the better.

Anna: Forgive those who only think of themselves. Forgive those who are greedy and cheap. And those who deceive and cheat or grow rich by paying miserable wages. Dear lord, forgive them. Forgive them. And Lord, forgive those who humiliate and desecrate. Forgive those who torture and kill. Forgive those who bomb and destroy cities and villages. Forgive those who are dishonest, those who lie and are false. Forgive governments who withhold the truth from the people. Dear Lord, forgive them. Forgive those who are heartless, merciless, and quick to pass judgment. Please Lord, forgive them. Forgive courts that pass sentences which are too harsh or convict the innocent. Forgive them.
The minister: Anna... We have to close and lock up now.
Anna: Forgive newspapers and TV channels that mislead. That distract attention from that which is important. Dear Lord, forgive them.
The minister: There now, Anna. We have to close and lock up now.
Anna: Dear Lord, forgive them. Forgive them.
