Very bland movie, impatient students can skip it.

Lots of drama

The film tells about three families at different stages, one is newly married, and they are still very affectionate to each other; one is that life has become dull, and the passion is no longer; the other is that one party has left, and the other party is not in a hurry. A mis-delivered lunch connects a widowed old man with a woman whose marriage is about to break down. The lunch exchange seemed to give their lives a new direction. They even want to break out of the worldly cage and move towards a new life in their dreams, but everything turns out to be dull in the end. This rugged relationship did not bear fruit, but it allowed them to look at their lives with optimism. As repeatedly mentioned in the film "the wrong train can always take you to the right station".
