How should life go on?

The film can be summed up in one sentence, how the three protagonists deal with the people and things that hurt them. What should you do when your mind, body, and life have been severely hurt? Protagonist 1: The father who lost his son cannot forgive his daughter-in-law who killed his son in a car accident while driving. He lives in his homeland with deep pain and longing, but his life is messed up because he can't extricate himself. The second protagonist: an old black friend. Because the brown bear invaded the farm, he was disabled in the fight with the brown bear, and his body left permanent pain. Protagonist 3: A single mother who lives with her daughter and her long-term domestic violence boyfriend, she is too weak to leave.

In the face of the injuries we have suffered, the choices of the protagonists seem to give us some hints. The old black friend chose "understanding". The brown bear just did what a bear should do. It should not be punished. A single mother chose to "change", she bravely left her boyfriend, found a job, made new friends, and started a new life. As for the father who lost his son, he chose to "accept". Accept that his son's car accident was just an accident, accept the arrival of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and accept that life is back on track.

With the simple natural scenery of the west and the warm and real small town people, the story is eloquent, like a gentle storyteller, telling you an intriguing story in winter...

    This generational relative is really the same in any country. Of course, the most important thing is tolerance and love.
