"Return" is about the relationship between father and son. One day, a father who has not returned home for twelve years suddenly appeared in front of the two children. The two brothers had only a photo of their father when they were very young and traveled with him to a remote island. His father used his simple and clear way of doing things with clear rewards and punishments, which won Andre's admiration and obedience, but also met Ivan's disgust and resistance. The center repeatedly described Ivan's disgust, and in the end it rushed to the extreme. Ivan ran desperately (the same at the beginning of the movie), angry and dissatisfied in his heart, until he climbed the high observation deck, an accident happened, because Ivan was afraid of heights , his father wanted to help him but caught a piece of dead wood and killed him. When I saw this, I was shocked and dumbfounded. At the end of the film, Ivan and Andre decided to take their father away. The two dragged his father. The photographer always took a close-up of his face and told me, "Yeah, he's not dead!" This kind of feeling. But he was still dead, and eventually sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Return" is a good title. In addition to saying the return of fatherly love, the two names Ivan and Andrei in the film symbolize the return of Russian cinema. The origin of the name is: because Andrei Tarkovsky's famous film is called "Ivan's childhood".
