Very touching and sincere film, I cried several times in the process of watching.
Lots of touching details.
The night the mother died, she struggled to get up to prepare her child's lunch (the child's favorite way to make sandwiches), then lay down in her husband's arms, letting out her last breath and leaving with endless regret.
The child seems to be ignorant and unaware, but the sudden outburst of mania in the car with his father's scorched slices of bread (realizing that his mother is gone) and the sudden sluggishness on the ground in the hotel all indicate that the sudden departure of the mother is right. How much the child's heart shakes. Young children do not have enough language expression skills, and his emotions are presented in a violent and original way, which is very real.
The child wanted a convertible and hoped that the mother in the sky could see him. He never forgot this wish. In the end, his father bought a convertible. At the end of the film, he was lying on the back seat of the convertible, looking up at the sky with a smile on his face. In response to the previous dialogue between the father and the mother in the fantasy:
Mother: Will he still remember me?
Father: We will never forget you.
I even watched two good family films today (the other "Frankie, My Love"), one about single fathers and sons, the other about single mothers and sons, both of them are very good, full of real details, small actors performance was particularly impressive.
