The camera gradually follows from New York, where Selina is located, to her hometown. She has left her hometown to get rid of the tragedy of her native family-the childhood shadow of being violated by her father and murdered by her mother.

But this is the quagmire in the depths of her spirit that she could never escape, and that accompanied her for the first half of her life. Growing up, she was full of incompatibility and distrust of intimacy.
