Thank you for coming back

Laura is an ordinary middle-class housewife with a dull and even boring life. Alec is a middle-aged doctor who already has a family. Two strangers meet at the station, and a brief scene erupts. And a fiery affair. But in the end, the two still fell in love and stopped politely. Alec chose to leave for Africa, and Laura returned to her previous life track.

The thing that moved me the most about the whole film was when Laura's husband said to Laura at the end of the film, "You used to be far away from me, but now, thank you for coming back". It turned out that this man knew everything from the beginning.

True happiness may always be short-lived, just like fireflies, it can only be shared but not owned. But those fluorescent lights are gorgeous but ethereal and hard to touch, while those fires that warm you are always inconspicuous in the corners that you ignore, "Thank you for coming back".
