morality and desire

Another film about the butterfly effect. In the suicide of a man's depressed wife, the man, his lover, his lover's daughter, and employees all inadvertently contribute to the fire without knowing it. Even the lover's ex-husband, who was separated from the lover for four years and lived far away in Iran, did what he once did, and also played a role in the suicide incident in distant France.
Morality and desire are always contradictory.
When everyone is in adversity, they always think that their decisions are correct, that they are worthy of anyone, and that any decision they make at that time is based on a correct understanding of the environment at that time.
Is that true?
Life is shocking and hopeless.
