Agart, a mother and wife with a tragic life, who had only a husband and a son in her life, lost her husband in middle age, lost her favorite son in her later years, and the eldest son's distorted feelings of excessive attachment to him forced her to become a only Hysterical woman. The actress who plays Agath uses her exquisite and vivid acting skills to let the audience appreciate the desperation brought by the pain of life.
Agath had mixed feelings about his eldest son, Francis. On the one hand, he blamed the eldest son for tearing up the face of the younger son's boyfriend five years ago for the reason why his younger son ran away from home and later died. Therefore, in the past five years, facing the eldest son, he has always resorted to indifference and violence to vent the bitterness and pain in his heart. The obvious cool tones in the room and the warm tones that only existed when Tom was there clearly showed the relationship between mother and son. The cracks that already existed and the embodiment of the numbness to her life.
When confronted with Tom, the mother showed a twisted "mother's love" side, washed Tom's hands and soup, eagerly grabbed Tom's hand when she saw Tom was injured, and asked the eldest son Francis to cut the meat for him, and made peace at the funeral. Tom shaking hands and supporting each other is the mother's nostalgia for her little son and the side of her motherly love. Tom's existence makes her feel the hope of life, since she automatically ignores Tom's injury that can be seen by outsiders for her own selfishness. She asked Tom and Francis to learn how to manage the farm, milk the cows for midwifery, etc., trying to tempt Tom to stay with the younger son's previous life trajectory, while disregarding the pain that the older son caused Tom. For a while, he and the eldest son laughed at Tom for being a slut, and on the other hand criticized the eldest son for stigmatizing "sluts".
Her twist is due to her dual status as a housewife and not necessarily a religious belief. The death of her son's husband made her lose hope in life, and her religious beliefs made her feel confused and conflicted with her son's alienation. As a result, her attitude changes when dealing with Tom and Sarah are textured. In fact, the whole film explained the mother's understanding of Tom's true identity very early. The mother asked the eldest son to lead Tom to experience Tom's previous life trajectory, and to discuss the younger son with Tom freely. These euphemistically expressed his thoughts and feelings for his son. Support, but her devout Christian status makes her more willing to believe Sarah's absence than to admit that her son is gay.
In the end, letting Tom read the relic and donate the relic to Tom explained everything.
