From the beginning of the story, there is an evil taste. These three children have all grown up, not only no one expresses the slightest doubt about the status quo in which they live (however, as the story progresses, such "no doubt" is also normal. Words, languages, and learning channels are all available. Loss, where is there any doubting spirit), and the poised "growth" in this "fictional" environment can only be explained by "brainwashing".

And the initiator of all this is the normal social activities. Between "normal" and "abnormal", his "grasp" is so precise, and it is really "perverted" to the extreme.

But what is all this for? The story is not told, is there such a thing? You can taste it carefully, but it is not recommended that you taste it carefully, because it is very scary to think about it.

In this extremely distorted environment of values ​​and "worldview", it is inevitable that some unthinkable things will happen...

There is one detail in the story that is actually worth remembering.

A few brothers and sisters were playing airplanes (such adults are still playing airplane models, you can imagine the lack of that "environment"), but accidentally, the airplane flew out of the fence.

Outside the fence is a very ordinary world, but none of them dare to go out. When Dad came back, this ordinary "picking up the plane" action, Dad drove a car, and then picked up the plane in the car.

The outside world is very dangerous. Without a car, it is absolutely impossible to go out. But in the end, one of them "awakened", and the panicked dad opened the gate and looked around, but he forgot that he didn't drive.

When it comes to "awakening", this seems inevitable, otherwise the story will be boring. In this respect, the old beauty is much simpler and cruder than the Greek. A similar movie was also made by Lao Mei. At the beginning of the story, the boys and girls in the fence wanted to escape.

And this one, quite restrained, but also more "terrifying". In addition to the "terrifying" father and the "loyal" accomplice mother, "awakening" takes even more time.
