13-year-old Una is a precocious and sensitive girl.
She is attracted by her neighbor, Uncle Ray, and falls in love. A brief but profound romance unfolded.
After the incident, Ray was convicted and sentenced to 4 years in prison. After coming out, he kept his name incognito and avoided his hometown.
Wu Na has been trapped in that memory since then, unable to extricate herself.
This memory is not all hurt, but also sweet.
She still remembered their first meeting after a quarrel with her little friend.
The partner went home angrily. She was lying alone on a deck chair in the garden.
The BBQ PARTY in the community is being held, and adults are holding wine glasses and chatting with each other.
With a bunch of flowers in her hand, she was bored.
At this time, he appeared. A calm and attractive middle-aged man.
The first sentence he spoke was like an old friend.
Evil fate, this is the case.
Like a pair of hidden lovers, they started dating for three months.
They went swimming together, and the different age differences attracted the attention of her friends.
They go to a picnic together. When asked by a visitor on the road, she lied casually: he is my father.
They went to ride the Ferris wheel together. Get up from the ground, as if out of the world. The wind of freedom was blowing, he looked at the girl beside him, and said indifferently: I love you.
Her long hair fluttered and her heart shook.
They date with passwords.
He called her house and hung up with a bang, indicating that his girlfriend had gone out and he was at home alone.
His car is parked on the right side of the yard, which means we can go to the park together.
Deep in the shade of a dense tree in the park, they tasted it.
For him, it has been planned for a long time.
In her, it is willing.
But it is impossible to stop at first taste.
They move towards a deeper taboo.
In the end, they went to the hotel and opened up like adults.
He was having fun.
She is very content - satisfying a loved one, being a woman in love, and greater satisfaction.
After that, the man said he was going to the supermarket to buy cigarettes. Make her wait for him in the room.
The girl waited and waited in the room until late at night.
She ran to the supermarket to find him, and the people at the supermarket said that a man had come to buy cigarettes, but he had already left.
She went to a nearby bar to find him, and the people in the bar said that a man had come to drink, but he had already left.
The little girl who lost her soul attracts attention. Everyone quickly understood what had happened to her.
Although she said he didn't do anything, the adults didn't think so.
After that, the adults will handle it.
Inquiry, evidence collection, court hearing...
But she just wanted to see Lei and questioned him: Why don't you come back? !
But she never saw him again.
15 years later, she was born into a slim girl.
But this past incident, but it was like a shadow, had a profound impact on her life.
She has been under the finger-pointing of everyone in the neighborhood.
Even his former girlfriend once rushed over to slap her in the street.
Her father couldn't stand the blow and died early.
She had a grudge with her mother and had a cold relationship.
The wounds of the soul are like wounds that will never heal, still gurgling with blood.
She recalled the past over and over again. Compared with the "sexual assault" defined by outsiders, she was hurt more deeply because of why they had a relationship that day, but he never returned.
Is this love that she started to love, is it a love that cannot be tolerated by the world, or is it just a disgusting pedophile?
The past is vivid. What he said in the past, what he did, was both like a passionate lover and a perverted bad guy. Erlei went to another country after he was jailed
.
Changed its name to "Pete", and once again mixed up like a dog, and became a middle-level company in a certain company.
Everything in the past is something he absolutely does not want to think about.
But that day's unannounced goodbye became a dead end in Una's heart. She has been looking for him to solve the mystery.
Finally one day, she got his address and drove over.
This 15-year meeting is more like a reckoning after the fall.
The moment she saw him from a distance, she was so nervous that she ran into the bushes and vomited.
His colleague led her into his office.
Although he hadn't seen her in 15 years, he still recognized her at a glance.
The shocked, stiff expression showed how much he didn't want to see her.
He didn't want to be turned over by old accounts, and he didn't want the company to know about his past scandals.
But the girl who was abandoned in those days has grown up and will never give up.
Woman can't wait to ask the questions that have tormented her for fifteen years -
are you a pedophile? Did you do to many children what you did to me?
What you said and did, was it just to trick me into going to bed?
That day, you said to buy cigarettes, why didn't you come back when you left? ...
She clearly came to question the scumbag, but from the very beginning of the stern questioning, it turned into a sad complaint, and then it turned into a murmur of recollections, and her complicated mind can clearly feel how unforgettable she is about the past. ; And for the middle-aged man who is dodging and escaping in front of him, there is still a love that keeps cutting things out.
He had refused to face the past. After all, it is such a disgraceful character, after all, it has such a terrible ending.
But he had to be forced to respond to her.
On the one hand, he was also angry, saying that he had made the biggest and stupidest mistake in his life, and that he was punished for it, and that he was fed up with sin.
But on the other hand, he unknowingly fell into the old feelings. He recalled in a trance how stubborn and different she was back then.
Regarding the core question of "why did he leave and didn't come back" that she had been struggling with, he finally gave the answer: he didn't go away forever, it was, he came back.
He went to buy cigarettes, he did not come back immediately.
But he just ran for a drink.
After a critical step in their relationship, whether to elope or not, he hesitated, in a trance, ashamed, guilty... Mixed with various emotions, he chose to escape.
But he finally came back to find her.
At that time she left the hotel.
They miss each other in their search for each other.
Things took a turn for the worst.

This is a film with dialogue leading the narrative.
All the past events are traced back to the dialogue between the hero and heroine when they met.
The classic of this kind of film is the trilogy of "Love in Sunset" series.
The difference in this film is that it uses a more solemn tone and a more cramped space.
The meeting place was in an industrial plant. There are tall iron racks and containers everywhere.
From the office to the warehouse, to the small box in the bathroom, in a specific space, all confrontations, conflicts and disputes are magnified.
During the long conversation, the two sometimes quarreled angrily, sometimes complained about it, sometimes couldn't help caring about each other's current situation, and sometimes couldn't help but want to return to their intimate relationship.
The way of shooting is also unique.
A lot of composition seeks a different balance in abruptness.
Just like their relationship, they are attached to each other while hurting each other.
Those hurts, bitter to the extreme, with a touch of sweetness.
He also cares about whether she has a new boyfriend now.
She was also jealous, and now his new girlfriend.
They embraced each other again, facing each other naked.
But at the last minute, he chose to give up again.
This time, he made it clear that he would not be with her.
Rooney Mara, the actor of Una, contributed excellent acting skills in this film.
In 2011, starred in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" directed by David Fincher, in order to play a mysterious alternative woman, she lost weight, learned to ride a heavy motorcycle, pierced her body and face, cut punk hairstyles, bleached Eyebrows, which rose to fame after its release, was nominated for a leading actress Oscar in 2012.
In 2015, she won the Best Actress in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival for her wonderful duet with Cate Blanchett in "Carol" and was nominated for the following year's Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
She had high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and deep, piercing eyes.
Many times, her lips were pursed tightly, her face was expressionless, and she only expressed her emotions with her eyes.
Joy and sadness, loneliness and despair, all filled in the eyes.
She has an air of independence. It is especially suitable for playing a smart and neurotic woman like Oona.
The film ends with an open ending.
At Lei's house, Oona accidentally met Lei's adopted daughter, a girl just like her age.
The heart that she had just let go of was tangled up again.
He caught up with her, held her face, and eagerly explained that he was really just taking care of the child. He is not a pedophile.
He vowed again: He only loved one girl, and that was her.
Is he lying, and whether he has ever delivered his sincerity?
She looked at him deeply, with reluctance and confusion in her eyes.
Without saying a word, she turned around and left.
In the end is she grieved more than her heart is dead, or is she finally relieved?
There is no clear message in the video.
But one thing is clear, this time she finally let go, the one who couldn't let go for 15 years.
When a relationship breaks down, we often toss and turn in the past.
Open the scars over and over again, and enjoy the pleasure of bleeding like masochism.
Only when things really change, will you laugh at yourself, why you were so cheap.
How could they allow them to hurt themselves so cruelly?
How can we forgive those who have hurt us? In addition to the chaotic lovers in love, there are also betrayal partners in business, and villains who are jealous in the workplace.
Only by waiting for the hand of time to pass gently, the time of reconciliation with the past will come.
My wish for you is oblivion.
