The heroine in this movie is a very ordinary wife, mother, and accountant. Her life is plain and ordinary. Like many people, she is busy taking care of her family, developing her interest in making cakes and not forgetting to earn extra money. Her two children are mischievous, and her husband is not that capable but a good father. Next she met two people, a man who lived upstairs opposite and an old man who was lost. The husband insisted on taking the old man home, but he did not send him away. The old man couldn't remember anything, so he could only live in her home. She was disgusted at first, but gradually she got to know some of his story and they became friends. The handsome guy upstairs on the opposite side also joined them, helping the old man find his way home with her. In fact, the handsome guy and the heroine were attracted to each other, and they had been hiding in their windows and peeping at the opposite side for a long time. In the end, the old man returned home by himself, and the handsome man went to work elsewhere. Then, the old man died, and the handsome man lost his voice. She went back to her old life.
In fact, she did not completely go back to the past, because she met them, and she knew better what was worth pursuing and cherishing. The old man said that she should not be satisfied with being alive, she should ask, change, and make life more meaningful, not just fantasy. So she quit the job she didn't like, went to the cake shop to make pastries, and shared the responsibility of taking care of the family with her husband. When she was hugging and kissing the handsome guy at his house, she opened the window and saw her husband and children opposite her, and did not continue with the handsome guy. She understands that those are the people who will be with her for the rest of her life. But she also misses old people and handsome guys occasionally. The film ends with the monologue of the heroine's letter to the deceased old man, saying that after his death, she felt that part of her soul had gone with him. She also mentioned the handsome guy, saying that she didn't know what he was doing and who he was smiling at. I feel that this is the purest relationship between people, like the heroine's feelings for old people and handsome guys, and this kind of relationship needs to be set off by memories, because they appear and leave, but they don't really leave. They have done something together, had some feelings, spent some years, even if some of the content is a secret that will never be told to others, but when they no longer appear on the opposite street corner, when their voices and smiles become blurred, When all that has been etched into the memory, they are an eternal part of each other's lives.
Life is originally a blank sheet of paper, but it is gradually painted colorful by the various people we meet, the various things we have experienced, and the various emotions that have occurred. Because these are all to teach us to know more about ourselves and the world. There will always be people around, and there will always be people who disappear into the sea of people, but no matter what kind, as long as you can think of them and feel a warm feeling in your heart, you are already happy.
