I want to give three and a half stars

Human nature is the most unpredictable. The seemingly peaceful life hides the inner world of adult malevolence, but in the eyes of the innocent and speechless boy, the blood-stained cruel truth is recorded. The mother who called him to play with a black boy but was covered with a rag twice, gave his life twice to protect him Ask him who loves your uncle the most, persecuted the investigator to unplug the phone line and try to replace the mother immigrating to Balu Island Auntie, the father of a tragic trader who tried to cover up the truth and smeared his hands with blood, all these sins and unbearableness were seen by the little boy. On the one hand, it is a black family that is rejected and cast aside by white villagers who have high self-esteem. Although the narration is relatively scattered, the two-line story has a great emphasis on the primary and secondary, and the emotion is not enough, but the foreshadowing buried in the film makes me feel that there is still a lot of attention to the details. In retrospect, I will still care about the little boy going through this situation again. What will it be like after everything...wanted to give three and a half stars, but didn't have half, sad...
