this is life

A slightly obscure movie, very quiet, a lot of information is hidden in the details, you need to watch it carefully to understand.

She did everything with her own experience, educating students, taking care of her mother, taking care of her daughter and husband, writing books, and the house is always so clean, just like the movie said, to pursue perfection. But she finally failed in life. Her husband left, her mother died, and her child started her own life. She could only cry on the bus. Maybe this is life.

In the most painful time, she also wanted to try to have sex with strangers, but for her, who was shackled by morality, this was obviously unrealistic.

In her most difficult year, only the cat was with her. Even if she lost her family, even if she returned to nature, she could survive and even catch a mouse. At this time, the cat became another her and her Spiritual sustenance, after a year, she regained herself and no longer needed a cat.

When she said that she had gained unprecedented freedom, how happy was it really? After all, freedom was covered with bloody wounds.

At the end the husband obviously wants to come back but is rejected and we have to pay for our actions.

In the film, the daughter crying in the hospital bed is probably also because of her husband's derailment. Bad things will always happen, new wounds will always appear, but we still have to work hard to live, this is life.
