Hope - pain - let go, and that's where the plot of the whole film goes. A couple decides to give birth at home, both are longing and looking forward to the birth of a child, the wife's mother has bought them a new car, the husband expects the child to be the first person to step on the bridge he is building, and it all looks like it will be is so beautiful. However, under the guidance of a temporary help midwife, the wife gave birth to the child with difficulty at home, but the child died of suffocation after giving birth. The couple was devastated by this misfortune, with serious disagreements over whether to file a lawsuit against the midwife, the name of the child on the tombstone, etc. The pain has divided their relationship and destroyed their lives, and the involvement of family members such as the mother has intensified. This heartbreaking dispute brought the couple to the brink of separation. In the lawsuit against the midwife that the mother and her husband insisted on launching, the wife finally got out of the collapse when she testified in court. She faced up to her poor choice before the misfortune happened, and said in court that she would not hold the midwife accountable. Others who blame others to relieve their own guilt also let go of their own painful self-blame. Finally, when the spring flowers bloom and the bridge closes, a new life begins. The little girl who climbed the tree and picked apples is the beginning of her life.

    After losing her daughter, she fell in love with the taste of apples, because that was the only memory of her short time together with her daughter. What did a man do after a woman was torn to pieces? He was still asking, crying for everything he longed for, and turned to other women after unsuccessful. What he cried was the demise of his ideal life. This sadness was a kind of almost narcissistic male gaze. What is decency and dignity? It was us who lived glamorously under the eyes of others, then came to the toilet and took off our adult diapers.

    In fact, there are many movies about the pain of losing a child. The special feature of this is that it uses time slices to let you follow the heroine to experience how much the production process in the first half hour is from the moment of giving birth to immediate loss to healing and letting go. 90 minutes after the pain, how hard it is to heal. Vanessa Kirby Shia LaBeouf Ellen Burstyn's performance was amazing. There were a few scenes that were especially real and powerful.
