For the future of the orphanage, Jacka set off reluctantly (things in the back of his mind that he didn't want to touch).
Donor Jurgen casually listens to Jacka's report on street children and invites him to his daughter's wedding the next day. At the wedding, Jacka met Jurgen's wife, and it was the old love that he often recalled painfully - Hailian. What shocked him even more was that the bride in the wedding was the daughter he had with Hai Lian (he didn't know that Hai Lian was pregnant when they broke up).
Jurgen is a family lover. From the beginning of the film, it can be seen that he is a romantic and warm husband, a father who can tell stories and play games, and is also a famous billionaire with a cheerful personality and a little arrogance. And this time, he just chose his wife's old love as the trustee for the charity, and just invited this person to come at his daughter's wedding. Is it a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement? With the development of the plot, we will gradually discover more touching things: love, responsibility, despair, broad-mindedness...
The film has a unique shooting technique and use of lenses. Occasionally, like Jurgen, he stared at the broken leaves and lifeless animal eyes in anguish and despair.
In terms of character characterization, the director and the actors have made joint efforts. Jacka's hard and calm face can't hide her anger and sensibility; Jurgen's optimism and her own despair and helplessness in the face of death; Hailian's loyalty and inner softness; Anna's happiness and naivety turned to injury After the fragility and tears. The director uses many expressive close-ups on the eyes and expressions of the characters.
This is a film that tends to fall into narrative clichés, but luckily it isn't, and it has style.
