After nothingness is Nirvana

After watching so many light-hearted comedies, it's time to cultivate your sentiments with some deeper movies.
The female protagonist, who was put in a concentration camp and tortured, persisted step by step until the day she left this hell because of her obsession with reuniting with her husband. However, the truth was not as good as she thought. The husband (or ex-husband) discovering her resemblance to his wife asks her to pretend to be his wife in order to claim the inheritance. The heroine was indulged in the so-called love and couldn't extricate herself, until her friend walked into the arms of death, and she just woke up. At the end, when she sang "speak low" with a melodious voice, the surprised and frightened expressions of the male protagonist and his friends were ironic (so I found my wife to pretend to be my wife?).
When the full of anticipation was swallowed by the sinister world, she ushered in the rebirth. After nothingness comes Nirvana. There is only one person in the world who can trust, from beginning to end.
