Return you, your high heels.

Did you have a puppy named Donut in your childhood?
Will you still think about it as an adult?

At the beginning of the story, sister Ross picks up her drunk sister Maggie, but Maggie is turned away by her stepmother. In the drunk dream, my sister said, do you remember the puppy called Donut?
Sister hugged her tightly.

The part of the memory that always carries the wounds we can always remember more clearly.
Ross was a lawyer with a simple life and an unobtrusive appearance. Work hard to the point of desperation. And the beautiful and moving sister Maggie has nothing to do, except get drunk and cause trouble, do nothing. A pair of sisters with such dissimilar personalities, the only similarity is in the size of the shoes.

The story unfolds step by step. The sister who lives in Ross's house makes her sister's life a mess. The sister is angry with her sister's ignorance and her lack of responsibility for her own life. When Maggie was so frightened that she wanted to tell her about her horrific experience the night before, Rose didn't listen to her sister quietly. She was busy with work and was furious at her sister's inability to use the car.

So when they couldn't understand each other, the conflict finally broke out. Ross asked Maggie to leave his home immediately, and the two broke up in anger.

Maggie holds the stolen puppy, full of resentment towards her sister. So, facing the man who came to Rose to apologize, she began to take revenge frantically. When Rose pushed the door in, she began to cry hysterically. This is a double betrayal of love and family. At this moment, we can't forgive Maggie's willfulness, and we can't accept a lie about love. The rose was still dripping with dew, but in the blink of an eye, love was already wandering around in such a prosperous world.

Maggie left Rose's house, but for her, there is no place in the world to call home. Rose couldn't forgive, she was exhausted physically and mentally. At this moment, everyone is alone in this world.

When I saw the movie here, everyone hated that dissolute and frivolous sister, but I have always been reluctant to blame this lost child too much.

Just because everyone has something to bear. Maybe when you don't realize how much pain you are, you are temporarily innocent. Maggie was undoubtedly such a person. So, I am more sympathetic to Ross.

Although she seems to be normal, she is the kind of person who puts everything in her heart. This kind of person is born unable to be happy and is full of fears about life and the world. But he kept silent and pretended that everything was fine.

In fact, in her eyes, the world has long lost its appearance.

Such people may be the hardest. She bought countless pairs of gorgeous and fashionable shoes at home, but never wore them. This woman's repression of her own nature has reached a certain level of sighing.

What's more scary is that most people only think their sister is scary. It never occurred to me that what Rose was carrying had distorted her psychology to an extent that most people didn't realize.

Rose quit her job and started her dog walking career. Compared with lawyers, this can hardly be called a formal profession, but when we saw the smiling woman in the square, we couldn’t help but think, it’s okay, in those breathless rhythms, let’s temporarily forget about the past.

At the same time, Maggie, who has nowhere to go, finds her grandmother, whom her father has been hiding. There, she was still headstrong, ignorant, and petty. Facing the angry grandmother, she asked: Why is there no picture of my mother in the room?

This young girl, she will never forget the loss of her mother in her childhood.

The hearts of the grandparents and grandchildren miss the same person, and this kind of feeling makes the hearts of the two unwittingly approach. Maggie starts her new life. Here, she reads a poem for an old man. In that poem about loss, she seems to begin to understand life and what she has lost.

And Ross also began his new happiness. This colleague, who had not paid much attention to it, gave her a warmth that could not be rejected at this time. He took her to eat a lot, took her to a game she might not understand, taught her how to cheer like a real fan on the court.

His life is simple and clear, just like himself.

Except that Maggie is the wound in her heart, I can't mention it, she is almost happy at this time. It's just that the happier people are, the more afraid they are.
When will it be lost?

Happiness is something that has wings.

The lives of the two sisters are finally irrelevant to each other.

The attentive grandmother senses something is wrong, and she stubbornly invites Rose as a guest. Ross' boyfriend, Simon, couldn't tolerate his girlfriend hiding something from him at this time, so he left in anger.
Unexplained Ross arrives at his grandmother's house.

The sisters finally meet again.
They were the ones who cared about each other the most. And many years ago, the mother's car accident was due to suicide, and my sister finally knew for the first time.
She asked, who told you that?
Sister A: I saw it myself.

Maggie walked over and hugged her sister, hugs are always warm, in hugs, everything is gone, we have the same blood in our bodies, how can we not love each other.

At the end of the story, Maggie helps her sister get Simon back to her.

Sister, I once stole your high heels, and now I give them back to you.
Just be happy.
