The story itself is simple: an Iranian husband who quits without a word, returns to France for divorce at his wife's request after four years of separation.
During the period, due to the complexity of the feelings in the adult world, it caused confusion among family members. For example, the mother MARIE brought two half-daughters (without any blood relationship with the male protagonist AHMAD) and a new boyfriend at the same time. The son of Saar's original marriage.
Mother Marie's old love ended, and she fell into a new emotional swamp. The new boyfriend's wife was in a coma in the hospital due to an attempted suicide.
In the movie, the intricate feelings about this adult world are explained in detail, without rushing. But what I like most is the movie, which reflects the psychology of children who will live in the shadow of adults.
Bright line, it seems that the eldest daughter Lucy secretly contacted her mother's new love, and sent the e-mail of their affair to each other. In the movie, another "child" with a knife is hidden, which is the son of the new love. Do you remember the constant mention of his cut finger in the movie? I believe that the soiled dry-cleaning clothes are the methods that the child has come up with to help himself and his parents out of the swamp with his weak hands.
The pain and suffering of the eldest daughter Lucy, she spoke out.
But what about this little one? He was still standing in the vortex of darkness.
It seems that the comatose woman lying in the hospital is the victim, but in fact, everyone around is the victim. Including members of two families, as well as the ex-husband who is going to come back for divorce, and a female employee working in a dry cleaner.
At the same time, everyone is the culprit behind this tragedy.
