On June 30, 2017, at noon on the last day of the first half of the year, I clicked into a movie and watched half of it, and finished it at midnight.

The story revolves around a estranged couple and their three very individual children returning to Scotland from London to celebrate their grandfather's birthday. The grandfather has cancer and the two sons plan a grand birthday party for him. During the chat with the grandson, the grandfather learned that their parents were going through a divorce. Although he was sad, he analyzed it rationally for the children. Don't pay too much attention to some things or even the lies of adults, and enjoy the moment. Grandpa's wish was not to watch his family quarrel, and to be cremated in the sea like a pirate. After speaking, he watched the children play on the beach and passed away peacefully. The children decided to go back and tell the adults but were disappointed to see that the adults were quarreling, so they decided to fulfill their grandfather's last wish and make a bamboo raft for him to float into the sea and burn. When the adults who were preparing for the birthday party heard the news, they called the police and caused confusion and commotion, and the adults continued to quarrel directly. Later, the little girl said that this was exactly what Grandpa didn't want to see. The adults changed their thinking and began to accept the fact that grandfather was cremated in the sea, and mourn him on the beach according to grandpa's heart. They realized grandfather's philosophy of life, and family relations have been greatly improved.
