The story is about: After the wife died for a while, the man discovered that he loved himself and her. A very simple story, the writer builds the whole story by adding an Inciting Event, a pack of chocolates.

The plot is simple but touching. The man sits on the carousel and thinks of his wife's warmth, which is presented in an illusory and hazy way, and the pain of smashing all the pain of not wanting to face the fact that his wife leaves is presented in fast-cut shots to strengthen the externalization of emotion.

It can be seen that the audiovisual language is greater than the storytelling itself.

I find I'm suddenly filled with... wait... Overwhelmed by... a growing sense of curiosity. What are in these bags? I wanna know what these people can't do without for four days in buffalo. I wanna go through every one of them and dump their shit in a huge pile.

    Davis: And the national guard guy? I wanna hold his gun. I wanna protect my country.
