I seldom watched Nordic films before, and this feeling is not very similar to previous Spanish films. The inherent cultural heritage and humanistic concerns of southern Europe are involuntarily gushing outwards. The warm and unrestrained character of southern Europeans makes communication with each other more frequent or easier. For them, it seems to be more uncomfortable to hold back. This is very different from the Nordic countries. I don't know if it's because of the weather, or because of the vast area. Even family members feel that there is a wall between them. Strangers should be one meter away from each other. Conversation seems tentative. Therefore, the film has nothing to do with "youth", this is their real reaction in the eyes of the director. Therefore, there are many plots to "guess".
Jonah's life appears to be least affected. As the eldest son, he became independent very early. Get married, have children, and start a normal married life. She was also calm about her mother's death, but she wasn't really calm, but she wasn't so clear about the affairs of the family, and she wasn't so familiar with it. Before his mother went to find him, he was only perfunctory and said only a few words. Seeing the scars on my mother's body was not enough to ask why. Nor did he have any doubts about his mother's strange dialogue. His heart began to fluctuate since then, especially when he welcomed the birth of his child. I wonder if this angel was brought back by my mother?
Dad is actually the most embarrassed. The sudden death of his wife forced him to take care of the two sons himself, and only then did he realize that he had no way of entering their hearts. The younger son is in the rebellious period of his youth, and he refuses to reveal a word, preferring to write an article to express his feelings. After Jonah returned, they had a dispute over how to let the younger son know about his mother's death. After giving up his career for his wife, he still failed to manage the family well. He tried every means to get to know his younger son, but it backfired. For the sake of his family, he did give up too much, but there was still no response. In fact, it was not his fault, but the death of his wife made him more stressed and overwhelmed.
Conrad is not at the center of this film. He just represents a teenager transitioning from an ignorant period to adulthood. The family doesn't know how to treat him as a child or as an adult? It doesn't matter how he accepts this fact, what matters is how he accepts it in his own way. He didn't want to talk, and he didn't want others to know him at the same time. His own world makes him more free, he does what he wants to do, and the result is that everything needs to be solved by himself. In fact, he knows everything, he just doesn't want to appear too mature, but he also doesn't want to let others know that he is a child and is still naive.
The passing of our loved ones brings us growth, the growth of all people. The mother always hopes that it will not disturb them and affect their lives. Later, it was discovered that this distance was controlled too far, as if everyone no longer needed her. A woman wants to return to life, but life never gives her another chance. She thought they were all used to her leaving, but she didn't know that her leaving made them slowly sprout.
