The spiritual world determines future choices

Pick a French film because of the goddess Huppert, because you are in Paris. The heroine, Natalie, is a university philosophy teacher, as is her husband. The life of the middle class, stable and rich, of course, may also lack passion. So even years of love can't stop her husband from cheating, and her husband has to move to live with a new person. The heroine's mother suffers from depression and always calls her daughter back to her for various reasons. But we don't see Natalie's panic in the face of these realities, she still manages everything in an orderly manner. Even after discovering who Xiaosan was, he didn't go to the showdown, retaining his last dignity. Separated from her husband, sent her mother to a nursing home, and went to the countryside to talk about philosophy with the student she valued most. It turned out to be spiritually rich, and nothing could break down.

The end of the film is very satisfying. In the warm room, Natalie hugged her daughter's newborn child, looked at him, and smiled. This is also the future life Natalie chose.
