It's complete until the end. The entire mini-series spent a lot of time portraying Patrick in detail, his drug addiction, alcoholism, childhood lizard, inner monologue, splendid drug addiction, madness in anger, as if the screenwriter wanted to describe every aspect of his life. a detail. But only, the expression of what his father did to him was very vague.
Patrick grew up in a declining aristocratic family, his father was a declining general, with no achievements but a pedophile. Sexually abusing other people's children, as well as their own children. This led to Patrick not growing up properly, he was addicted to drugs, he had sex like crazy, he had all the reasons to let himself fall. In fact, the one who made me feel the most helpless was his mother. At the beginning, I also pinned my hopes on my mother, that she would protect him and at least listen to what happened. But mom didn't. In fact, my mother should know, but she doesn't want to face it. Years later, Patrick told his mother that my father had been raping me back then, and my mother was not surprised, not angry, just a light sentence, me too.
It's hard to get out. Getting out of the downturn, quitting drugs, quitting alcohol, and getting back on track is hard. I especially understand that even simply getting rid of negative emotions is not an easy task, let alone quitting drug addiction. Fortunately, at the end of the story, Patrick finally lost his parents and old people as he wished, and finally got rid of all connections with the past. He can finally start a new life of his own. At the end, he went out and ran to the back of his family, infinitely refreshing, as if he had taken off the shackles and was reborn.
He has courage, and since the day he walked out of the bathroom and stared at the sentence "You are wrong. Nobody should be treated like that" his father said, his self-rescue began.
