From that lovely sandy beach, we saw life

At first, this movie was just to eliminate the leisure time of the holiday, yes, isn't watching a movie about a holiday on a long holiday the perfect occasion? Look at what we did during the holidays (well, for the boring little brothers who think the same as me, I would recommend the meal drama to you) Actually, this is a family tragicomedy, which describes the cute and unlovable, happy and unlovable in life. An absurd but love affair in which the
unhappy , the good and the not-so-beautiful intertwine
(I love to use long sentences, please forgive me.) The cute little daughter who regards Stone as a friend, the funny son who likes to watch TV, some precocious eldest daughters and two parents who are facing marital crisis, just embarked on the journey. In fact, the whole drama never stops being the quarrel between the adults. In order to let grandpa have a good last birthday party, the parents decide to hide the fact that they are about to divorce and tell a lie about love.
They are greeted by a rich and a bit of a bastard. My uncle, a melancholic aunt, and a eldest cousin who has been absent. The cute little daughter is holding her breath to escape the problems she doesn't want to face in reality. The real interest of the funny son is the Vikings. The older daughter, who seems to be mature, keeps using a notebook to record everything that happens in her life, as if everything is Insight has been made, nothing will scare her anymore, it's really just a way to protect herself
The grandfather with terminal cancer takes the kids to play at the nearby beach, and the others are planning a party at home, and no one thinks that this day He was on this lovely beach, watching the children play and stopped breathing... The eldest daughter wanted to go home and tell the adults, but saw everyone arguing, so she made a bold decision , in their own way, grandpa's preferred way, with sea burials like the Vikings. So, the three children solemnly and absurdly buried their grandfather.
All of this has attracted the attention of reporters, the intervention of evaluators, and the incomprehension of the outside world. Everything has fermented in reality, and it has become our life that is still unlovable.
But at the end of the film, we see all the relief and Understanding, in a joyous atmosphere we fought the unlovable together, what we did on vacation, when all that matters, all we have to do is try to understand those we love
