The poster is that the family is in the sea, setting up a table, soaking their legs in the sea for a meal to cool down. This scene is so profound, which shows the optimism and satisfaction in their hearts.
The story is about a mother with four children, three boys and one girl, who cannot survive in the UK, and the family relocates to Cove Island. The small Greek island, with white walls and blue tiles, is so clean and pure, a family comes in a hurry, unfamiliar with the place and language, so many jokes are naturally made. The story has only six episodes, but it seems to see the highest level of intimacy that a family can live together.
Children are rebellious and ignorant. An eldest son of a writer who thinks about writing about sex all day; a second son who is full of blood in the jungle with a gun every day; a teenage daughter who is full of thoughts about marrying a man; a younger son who is only interested in wild animals; only There is a widow mother with a clear mind, shrinking clothes and dieting, pinning her hopes on a better future, and resenting the dross in front of her.
What is affection?
If you disagree, you will make a lot of noise. If you want to live apart, you can't live independently. There is no word that is not bitter and mean, and the comfort from a brokenheart is either "too fat and too thin" or sarcastic "hanging on a tree with one heart." "There seems to be no intimacy between the children. When encountering different accidents, what is given and obtained is down to earth. Only the affectionate mother always hugs and waits for her return. However, blocking the door of my brother's toilet, the whole family accompany my brother to hold a small bat funeral, take the initiative to help the little eagle hunt and feed, try to comfort my sister's hurt heart, etc., all like our childhood. It is precisely because of the protection of my parents that I can grow up in a hurry, go home with joy, and have the courage to try and make all kinds of mischievous jokes.
I grew up in a family where yelling at disagreements was commonplace. Do wrong things, have accidents, and often don't expect positive comfort. For example, if you work hard, you won't get a straight exhortation like "Take care of yourself in peacetime", but it will definitely be "Tsk tsk, studying is so hard, and work is so hard, are you earning dollars? People go all the way to work, every day They all slept at home, and their wages were about the same!" After being sick for several weeks, they didn't get better, and when they came back from the hospital, they would never hear "I made fish soup for you, remember to drink it, and drink more water." It's too useless! A cold can be delayed for so many days. It's really reached a certain level." If you achieve a certain achievement, you may also question: "How much did you pay for your driver's license?" "How much did the university put into the president? Red envelopes?" Jokes don't even need a bottom line.
Look, this is my family. This is our way of caring for each other, the kindness and caring that we need to deeply analyze and chew on. However, we have lived together for more than 20 years, and we have learned to accept this insinuation and detrimental way of communication. It is shocking that friends and family members will bluntly say "I miss you", "I love you", "Go home early for dinner, baby". Every time my dad calls me to come home for dinner: "What are you doing! I haven't come back for so long!"
Every family has a unique way of getting along. On the surface, the warmth of the Dreyer family is condensed on the mother, but in fact, every member who grew up together has a strong love. If you don't talk about it, you will be surprised and shocked. For example, the eldest son rarely asks the second son for his opinion. ; Splashing cold water will reveal scars, for example, to stimulate the second son with the incident of being dumped by his girlfriend.
Cove Island is really beautiful, with simple folk customs, laws that don't tell a joke, and a way to solve problems by yelling. When watching the drama, I feel that I am a little boy who likes wild animals. Everything I watch is fresh, and I have infinite innocence and endless joy in my heart. Children are maturing and growing up quietly, but the lack of material promotes the fullness of spirit. I love the satisfied smile of my little son.
Love is freedom and letting go. Family love is also, the younger generation is always looking for their own life and future. Only when we let go, do we feel that the old time together is precious. In the days of healthy hugs, don't be stingy with your unique way of expressing yourself.
I love my family so much, even though we still can't learn to be explicit.
