The whole movie revolves around one word, and that is "escape".
The mother divorced early, lived alone and brought up the child. In her heart, the past experience became an irreversible shadow. Yes, she made a so-called defense for the future early.
She is no longer married, even though she is very eager for love and sex, but developing love means having to endure all kinds of problems and troubles that often occur in love. For this reason, she chooses defense again - even in the face of several man's attack.
She is against her daughter's marriage, and feels that marriage itself is a cruel struggle, and she must find a gentle and considerate man in order to end it once and for all.
She objected to her daughter's repeated pregnancy, which was very detrimental to herself and lowered her status in the family.
The astronaut, who lived alone, was free and unrestrained, when he faced love, he chose to retreat. This retreat is also a kind of defense.
The death of her daughter made the mother wake up and walk out of the original city to face life bravely. What the director wants to tell people is actually very simple: life is full of uncertainty, full of all kinds of pain, no matter how strong defense is, no matter how hard you try to escape, it will be useless, bravely face your inner desire, and bravely face everything that happens, in addition to this There is no other way - that is the truth of life.

    Why is there a comedy label? What's so ridiculous about such a touching and tangled family drama that reflects the gap between the two generations?
