A little contrived, but the tone is natural and relaxed

Actor: wrinkled face. Separated, with two children, both boys, but basically ignored him. The male protagonist set himself on fire because he could not save his marriage, which is to burn his own hands. It's a bit of a joke, but after he got his hands, I found that his hands were beautiful when he opened the gauze.
His job sells shoes in a department store.

Heroine: The taxi driver of the "elderly taxi", who is actually a freelancer who loves art, and often throws some art works at home, but has never been published.
When she was creating, she said that she was in the "brain-hitting stage", and her creative cycle was not short.

Encounter: The heroine accompanies the old man to buy shoes and meets the hero.
Out of professional habit, the male protagonist wants to sell an extra pair, so he asks the female protagonist to buy shoes.
The hostess said, I can't buy shoes well, and my heels are often worn out. It may be that my heels are growing too low.
The male protagonist comforts: No one has to endure such pain.
That's it, women love men. Actively approached the man and was kicked out of the car. Don't give up. Later, I went to the department store and took out my business card before leaving and said: If one day you are too old to drive, you can come to me.

Of course, the heroine's unwillingness to give up is also manifested in actively selling herself to people in art exhibition halls.
In the end, it is conceivable that the woman received love and affirmation from the exhibition hall.

One of them was a little girl, with a round belly and a big, often frowning brow. She is not beautiful, and she is not the kind of girl who has studied dressing since she was a child, but she has been preparing herself for a dowry since she was a child, called "dowry box" or "wish box". Inside were various things she had saved up to buy to give to her future husband and daughter. This is where the film is relatively small and contrived, a little bit cute.
But it doesn't have to be serious, this is forgivable pretending to be tender.

As for the rest, well, the supporting characters are pretty cute. Because of the two boys of the male protagonist, he hardly speaks when he sees his father. The angry dad said, "You don't pay attention to me, it doesn't matter. I'll be practicing Zen when I'm with you."
They still ignored Dad. But that doesn't mean there is no love.
If you don't speak, you can embrace your own confusion and hope, and accompany each other to live silently without disturbing each other, which is good.

Me and You and Everyone We Know quotes

  • Robby: Mom says we have a chore wheel.

    Richard Swersey: What?

    Peter Swersey: Nothing.

    Robby: A chore wheel. You put chores on it and then you can spin it. There's this metal thing and it helps it to spin. It's spinning from the metal.

  • Sylvie's Mom: Kids are so adaptable.

    Sylvie: Am I adaptable?

    Sylvie's Mom: Yes.

    Richard Swersey: Yes, well, they have absolutely no control over their lives, so... But if things were reversed - you know, like that movie Freaky Friday - you can be sure Pam and I would be sent to our rooms for all our Friday. Yes, they would give us a time-out and tell us we could not come out until we had really thought about what we had done.

    [pause. Very soberly]

    Richard Swersey: What have we done?

    [pause]

    Richard Swersey: But... there are no time-outs, there's not enough time for... time-out.
