In the seventh commandment, Aenya is six years old this year. On the surface, Ava, who is fifty, is her mother, and Meka, who is twenty, is her sister. But in fact, Maika is Ania's mother. That is the child Maika conceived with high school teacher Wilder when she was a child. This is an unethical teacher-student love. After she became pregnant, the teacher abandoned her. , was eventually suppressed to the end of the breakup. When Ania was born, in order to avoid the scandal, her mother took Ania as her own. She destroyed the evidence that Maika was Ainya's mother, and took away Maika's daughter and Maika's identity as a mother. , To this end, Maika deliberately vowed to kidnap Aniya from her mother and take back her daughter. So taking the opportunity of a children's party, she "stealed" Ania. She took the child to find the biological father, trying to arouse the old love, but the other party was very indifferent and asked her to send the child back. She begged Aenya to call her mother, but the child was used to calling her by her first name. Maika escaped with her daughter again. Finally, the mother caught up with them at a small station. Ania screamed "Mom" and rushed over, and Maika's heart was completely broken. She could only board a train with no direction and leave alone.
This is a tragedy about three generations of mothers caused by blood. The relationship between the three is tangled and complicated. Meka has never received tenderness from her mother Ava. She grew up bitterly surrounded by Ava's criticism and criticism since she was a child. However, she saw that her daughter, Ania, was taken care of by Ava. , to ask for warmth. What is even more painful is that she also watched her own daughter, Ania, obey Ava in every way. She asked Ania to call her mother, only to get the other party to call her by her first name, and she was completely disappointed. No matter what her status, Meka could not gain the upper hand, she was deeply frustrated and in a lonely position.
Since it is a story based on the act of stealing, the film must have something to do with theft. It is also worth discussing whether Maika took Ania away as a theft, because Aina originally belonged to Maika, but in Ava's view, she really stole her child. And Ava also has the behavior of stealing, as Meka said: "You stole my children, you stole my children and motherhood, my love, everything about myself." They are out There is an act of "stealing" for some desired purpose, and there are some people who stole other people's things unintentionally: Ania stole what Ava should have given to May Ka's love, Ania's biological father has left Meka's happy boyhood. We can feel that Maika is the ultimate victim and the lone bearer among the people closest to her - her parents, her daughter (now her sister) , the father of her children (but not her husband). She was disappointed by any of them - the father loved her but seemed to love his wife more; the mother insisted "Anya is mine" from beginning to end, pretending to be Facts; Meka asked Aenya to call her mother, but Anya kept calling her by her name, and at the end still hugged Ava and called her "Mama"; Aenia's biological father had almost no feelings for Meka, and for six years Although he remembered it before, it was not so important anymore. So in the end, Maika could only jump on the train alone and leave this world that did not belong to her. Her departure does not mean that she can get rid of the unfortunate encounter, but she has no choice and she has to leave.
