The excitement of a big family vs. the freedom of a small family

After watching the movie, I understood a little bit about the enthusiasm and openness of the ancient Greeks. Their enthusiasm, openness, and unity made me very moved. But if I was in that kind of environment, I would be as embarrassed as Tula. In stark contrast to the Greek family is Tula’s parents-in-law. Their restraint, quietness, and their cautiousness are undoubtedly more in line with the etiquette of modern society, but they are not likable compared to the Tula family. There is really no way.

Parents who like Tula are lovely and wise. But I prefer her younger brother, and his joke to Tula's husband made me laugh.
