love, but can't

An irreparable tragedy, a family torn apart and precarious. Kym is in the recovery center, Rachel has a Ph.D. in psychology, her mother remarried, and her father struggles to maintain the family. In fact, everyone is facing the hurt in their hearts in their own way, but in addition to the unbreakable love and unspeakable hatred between each other. At first I didn't understand why Rachel was assigned to do a PhD in psychology, but then I figured out. She has been using what she thinks is the healthiest way to treat herself psychologically, that is, face the tragedy, take responsibility for each, and then move on. She also moved on, found love and got pregnant. She hopes that her family can face all of this in her own way and become a healthy home again, but everyone in the family has embarked on a different path of self-redemption.

Kym wasn't going to forgive himself at all. She already felt that everything was useless. She loves her brother more than anyone else. She couldn't forgive herself, because that would only betray her love. So she is deceitful, perverse, her own way, wants to go back but is afraid of going back to that home. She longs to be forgiven but is afraid of being forgiven, struggles with herself, tortures herself and everyone who loves her. Their mothers are the biggest cowards, and of course they may be hurt the most, so they do the absolute best. Simply escape completely. Don't face it. This was understandable at first, but the problem is that she still has two daughters. I'm afraid all she can do is to keep a distance from this family indifferently to save herself, and she can't take care of herself. The greatest of course is the role of the father. Afraid that her daughter would be hurt, she worked hard to protect Kym, and she didn't want to lose another daughter, but she was often powerless, and both sides were not thankful. And the best way for this family is actually to drive away like that, leaving Rachel's garden house to live her own weaving life, and one day Kym's accidental appearance will disrupt it all.

The whole movie was shot from Kym's point of view. So, I saw myself. The self who wants to be understood by others but not understood. The self who fell into his own darkness in the midst of that lively wedding. And the saddest thing is that the one who wants to be loved the most, the one who puts aside all pretense and the most real self, is actually not loved.
