The topics discussed in the film are very large and very sensitive. There are parent-child relationships in homosexual families, parent-child relationships with donors, and an affair between the donor and the recipient. But the description is more superficial, and this topic can be explored in a deeper level. For example, the influence of gay families on the growth of children is not involved. Perhaps it is too sensitive. This directly involves whether to agree or oppose gay marriage. But if you avoid talking about this question, the core content of this topic will be lost. If you just treat this family as an ordinary family to describe the affection, you will be suspected of playing a gimmick. The plot is protracted, and the lines are also very general, so there is not much room for the actors to play.
