In fact, it can be seen from just a few dinner shots that they are a family, but they are very cautious and cautious. It is probably related to the overall quality and education of this nation. We are unlikely to see them indulge in public places. On the one hand - unless you go crazy, or crash.

In the second half of the plot, the plot took a sharp turn, and the conflict was not only obvious, but also a little bit artificial. In presumably the famous thriller director's first return to family themes and realism, some dramatic scenes are still needed to end the conflict.
