The story of a wandering lady
Tressie 2022-03-25 09:01:18
The most unexpected thing about this movie is that it is actually a real event. The movie is very bland and not a comedy. Most of the old lady in the van knows her identity from a conversation with the writer, a well-educated woman, a disciple of the piano master, a nun. In 1989, she finally ended her life in her car, which was parked in the writer's parking space for 15 years. The movie is more of a satire. It is mentioned in the movie that she experienced various experiences when she was young. The most impressive thing is that her police relatives did not help her when she was in a car accident, but blackmailed her until she died. Another is that after her death, people finally entered her car without disgust and carried her away.
