The struggle of a small soul

is easy for people to stamp with some labels: urban life, white, mom politic, mistress...
If you sum up the plot in one sentence, it can even be: the female psychiatrist living in the suburbs is dissatisfied with the mediocre and boring In her daily life, she broke the boundaries with patients and even had a spark with a patient's girlfriend.
But the truth of the show is that in the heroine's seemingly ordinary and superior life, there are actually many unease and rifts: the daughter who is suspected of having ADHD and gender cognitive impairment, the glamorous and friendly female assistant who haunts her husband, The patients who repeated the treatment day after day but made little progress, the moms who were wrestling with each other in various trivial matters at school... All of these are pulling this layer of superficial peace.
The heroine, despite repeatedly emphasizing the boundaries, even lost the boundaries and got into a lawsuit with the previous female patients, and crossed the boundaries again under the background of ordinary life - this is not new.
Only this time, she was even more involved.
Life is a huge proposition. The struggle of the heroine and the struggles of all kinds of patients in the play are the real cry in the gaps in life. The heroine's voice is often gentle and firm, but that doesn't mean everything is all right.


Who is Diane Hart?

The name, in her maiden name, was a second identity she made up for herself when she met Sidney. When she couldn't sleep at night, she perfected this personality, graduation school, occupation, works, things she didn't like, and wine she liked to drink, like awakening a little beast buried in a gentle body, she slowly gave Diane more The connotation makes this shadow avatar plump up.
Diane is a single female journalist in her late forties. She graduated from Stanford, her parents are divorced, and she has an older sister. Her relationship with her family was complicated, as were her patients. Her ex-husband is Michael. She loves blue nails, chance perfume, and bourbon.
Diane is her parallel life. In this world, she chose another path. On the jungle trail we all pass, she chose the one she gave up before. She has no husband, no children, no family bondage. She likes women, is no longer afraid, and likes to try. I also gradually recognized my true self-some people, some people, can't settle down on their own initiative.
He was tied to one person all his life, living in a big suburban house, working in a job that gradually lost his passion.



Be honest with yourself, or be honest with your lover?

But when more and more lies are carried on a person, it is difficult for the perfect psychiatrist to fully control the situation. She showed more and more flaws.
Her husband seems to have noticed her changes slowly, the sudden password of the mobile phone, the absent-mindedness when he made various excuses to go out at night, and kissed himself.
The more delicate episode of the film is that the two go out separately to get along with a third party. Husband and female assistant are on a business trip in Texas, wife and female lover are dating at home. Even though the female assistant was scheming, the husband still called to stop at the critical moment. He said: "My wife needed me to settle down and become who I am, so I did.
But as soon as the camera turned, the wife decided to face herself truthfully and completed the derailment.
Ironically, her derailment was accompanied by a new lie, and Sidney knew nothing about the real heroine.

We are fascinated by narratives about parallel worlds because they always remind us that there is always another possibility, another layer of life. The heroine lives in a parallel world fabricated by herself, and builds a precarious new world with spider silk in the real relationship grid, but there is no redemption here, only the more painful and unconcealed reality after the collapse.
