Although the involvement of war and genocide is painful, the director's handling is calm and vague. Ida accepts everything silently, and my aunt finally chooses to commit suicide by jumping off the building. I think the reason is that Ida grew up in a monastery since she was a child, and her heart is calm. The power of religion.
However, the journey of Ada and her aunt's search for roots exposed her to the temptation of the secular world. After returning to the monastery, she chose to give up and return to the world because her province was not ready on the eve of the oath. After that, Ida started to experiment on her own, smoking, drinking, and even having sex with the boy she liked, short but terrifying. Even better, Ada, who had tasted everything, resolutely put on a nun's costume and set off on the way home, calmly, firm and smiling.
The dialogue between Ada and her boyfriend at the end of the film is meaningful and the finishing touch. Perhaps the director is trying to tell the essence of religion: Although the world is beautiful, people still need to find their own final home, and religion is the answer.
