The ancients said, "Stand up at thirty, and at forty without confusion." But this movie is just the opposite. Forty will indeed enter a period of confusion.
The heroine always emphasizes "I'm not ready yet", "I'm 38,not 40". She always feels that when she is 40 years old, life should be different and should be in a different state, so she During her 38 years of age, she began to change herself and even her surroundings...
1. Management of the body. I felt that my body was not enough to attract my husband, so I continued to exercise every day. At the same time, the husband's exercise requirements are very strict. Because the husband’s fatty liver value exceeds the limit, in addition to daily cycling training, he has to ban desserts. In addition, the whole family has to start being vegetarian.
2. For the management of the family. The eldest daughter is 13 years old. She only likes Iphone and Ipad in adolescence. In order to increase her chances of communicating with her family, the heroine cancelled Wifi, confiscated her computer and Ipad, and limited the time to surf the Internet. Even more exaggerated, the couple used their daughter’s Ipad to log on to their private Facebook and saw other boys classify their daughter as "Not hot" At school, he scolded and cried a 13-year-old boy.
Among the various restrictions, you will see the tolerance of her family to her, and even her tolerance to herself. During the period, I had a lot of conflicts with my husband. I had the desire to indulge myself in the villa by the sea, and I also tried to sit down and talk, but the two sides still didn't know the real source of the problem. Until the outbreak of the financial crisis in the family, problems followed one after another. The heroine knew that her husband had concealed her finances, and she began to feel a lot of dissatisfaction. Therefore, at the husband’s birthday party, the father accused the husband of constantly and endlessly taking money from the husband, and the husband also accused the wife’s father of not seeing his wife or even his granddaughter for 7 years. After the conflict broke out naked, the wife realized that his father had been unhappy in the past 7 years, and after her husband was injured, she understood her love for her husband better.
Indeed, this film recorded a lot of miscellaneous things and trivial matters, so it was not exciting enough. But think about it, we may also encounter various problems when we are 40 years old. This film reflects life more realistically, so it's pretty good.
