What is the meaning of a person's life? What's the point of what he did? For most people, the answer is not much.

The protagonist may think so too. His life has no passion, he has no interest in anything, and he is unwilling to do it. Even when he received anonymous letters saying he had a 19-year-old son, he didn't bother to bother. An overly enthusiastic neighbor arranged for him all the itinerary to explore his former girlfriend, and he set off just like that.

These women live in small bungalows with their precocious and slutty daughters, or live in low-grade new rich houses with vulgar husbands, or strictly follow organic living and claim to be able to communicate with animals, or live away from people. Biker girl with a hippie life. The protagonist visited them one by one and received different treatments, but none of them surprised him. Finally, on a rainy day, he came to the grave of a deceased girlfriend, thinking of his boring life, and shed tears.

At the end of the film, he said:

The past is gone

The future isn't here yet

What we have is...

is this, the present

But what is there now?

Nothing at all.
