still don't understand

What kind of people go back to their hometown to stay in a hotel? Not notify parents? Life is as chaotic as her home

He ran back to his hometown for the high school object and felt that he should save him from this place. At the same time, he was full of contempt for this small town where he grew up, and felt that the people here were stupid, rough and content with the status quo.

If the male lead (fat) is an outlier who cannot fit into the town, then the female lead is the second. It seems that even the parents of the heroine feel that the problem has always been with their daughter, just like the pictures of the heroine and her ex-husband are still hanging at home, and they are reluctant to take them down, unable to understand the strange thoughts in her head. And the fat man may be the only one who can give comfort, each with obvious flaws. I still haven't figured out what the film wants to express, especially the last conversation with my sister? So why are you coming back? Are you really happy when you leave the town?
