Mary is a frizzy and sensitive middle-aged single woman, and Tom's son is a manic man. TOM's son Joe found a positive and cheerful daughter-in-law, and Ms. Mary's nerves were touched to death, breaking the last trace of her long-absent memory of the young and exciting world. Ken is middle-aged and swollen. He lives by addiction and degenerates all day long. During the party, he thought he could find the same sympathy with Lady Mary, who he thought was also in a lonely situation, but was ruthlessly rejected by Miss Mary. Tom's elder brother, old and widowed, orphaned and violent, could not tell what he was thinking in his stern and determined eyes. When I used to be empty, I would go home from get off work at night and after dinner, I would go to the road and listen to the cold wave after punks kept brushing the streets. I didn't go home until 10:11, and then I washed my face and checked my phone to sleep. Think about the future? Just listening to the song and walking non-stop, isn't that just pacing my life? Tom's brother stared firmly at the void. He was in the vacuum of this dining table like Mary, but he should also be holding his own life with his eyes.
The heroine of the film is a psychiatrist, but she has never been able to heal her colleague Mary, who has lived with her for more than 20 years. She even told her husband that she felt a little guilty and that she was willing to entertain Mary who came to the house often, even though she kept talking every time she came, and even showed her feelings for her son. The embarrassing situation for Joe and daughter-in-law Katie wouldn't have happened if she had caught it early and cut off some of her sympathy for Mary. Untransformed damage will always appear, but it's a matter of when and where. The only sustenance for Ms. Mary's life is at the hostess's house. Whenever she tells her troubles, she asks in return that she hopes that the other party can also confide in her. She hopes to gain inner solace through this mutual talk, so that her suffering can be balanced and comforted. Mary's life is always full of hardships that she was reluctant to mention at first, saying, "I have a nice house and a small garden, which I haven't done for a long time..." "I want to buy a car A red car" "Why don't I buy myself a red car, if I'm not nice to myself, who will be nice to me" At first, old Tom and the hostess also said, "Yes, yes, you should buy yourself one. small car". When Ms. Mary saw the heroine's son Joe talking about his girlfriend, she instantly showed a loss of expression, and began to tell how much trouble the car had caused herself. Old Tom also echoed, "Yes, you should sell it." One thing, but pin it on the approval of others. The ego is in a hurry without any thought, from fresh to complaining, emotionally fickle, and human beings are despicable.
Several characters in the film are centered around the courtyard of cat and mouse, which is a center of perfect fit and positive energy. In this magnetic field center, there are Mary, a colleague of the heroine for more than 20 years, Ken, an old friend of Tom's decades, as well as the old man with glasses and his abnormal wife Jenny (not shown). During the party, the old man with glasses sat on a stool and talked to the hostess. When he talked about his wife, and thanked the hostess for coming to his house, the hostess politely asked about his status. After he said, "We have always been optimistic and have never been defeated," he gave a few seconds of the eye-catching micro-expression shot of the spectacled brother, which made people feel chills down their spines in just a few seconds. Such a combination of negative energy is concentrated in the house of the cat and the mouse, but it does not bring such a good example of life to the surrounding group of people. They can't be changed. What future do those who live in the past have? What is there to be sympathetic to? Life is boundless, and the hurry is only a few decades. At this time, the old Tom and the hostess cultivated in the vegetable garden and harvested every year. To live in loneliness and despair.
