It seems that in this world, where there are children, there are games. Children who play games have all played hide-and-seek. As long as there is possible space, children like to hide themselves, and even hope to have the ability to be invisible, so that others can't find themselves-Emily is such a child.
It seems that such a game can sometimes accompany a person's life. However, when we grow up, we prefer, or can be said to be uncontrollable, hoping to hide ourselves, and even subconsciously fantasize about the disappearance of a part of ourselves, so that we can't find ourselves-David is such an adult.

In David's own world, he successfully concealed himself.

In his consciousness: It is the wife who is affair with others/It is the wife who breaks the family by short-sightedness/The daughter Emily who does not accept the outside world and even pushes his new friend Elizabeth from the window is Emily/ And it is "Chali" that caused all these behaviors of the child-Emily's imaginary partner / and this "Chali" is probably the neighbor who lost his child. . .

And what about yourself? He is a victim, an injured husband, an innocent father, and a doctor who tries his best to save and treat his abnormal child. Everything is so abnormal, the only sensible is oneself.
Others are their own patients and they all need their own help.

In this state of mind, we closely followed the experience of this poor father, suffering from insomnia and embarrassing dreams, and experiencing terrible hide-and-seek games with our children and "Charlie" every day, exhausted. How we want to quickly find the culprit "Chali" with him-no matter if he is imaginary or real, because we can't bear to see this innocent father be tortured in a big isolated house.

Elizabeth is dead, and the police come to the door. Yes, Emily must have done it, instructed by that "Charlie"! Yes, the police must have noticed Emily's abnormality, I want to protect my child, I want to hide it for her!
Sure enough, Elizabeth's body was in the bathtub, exactly the same way Emily's mother died!

He broke out, he wants to find the murderer, he wants to protect this family
That okay neighbor is so terrible, he must be jealous of having such a beautiful daughter, he must have done it!

But what did he find in the process of searching for the murderer?
The secret room that Emily found behind the cabinet-in the secret room where the murderer is likely to be hidden, why is it sealed with the notebook and earphones that I used to record her "condition" every day? Why is the notebook for daily records empty? Come to think of it, why is there a dirty black mark on my hand that day for no reason? Why did you have a nightmare that someone pushed Elizabeth down? . . . . .

It turns out that it is not children who love to play hide and seek the most.
It turns out that in this "threatening" world, what you really need to heal is your own
truth. Nothing is more kind than a child, so please don't leave the child with the ray of evil.

In this thriller encountered by Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning, Dakota, who plays the little Emily, is so good that the light even surpasses De Niro. The lively and kind-hearted little girl in Sean Penn’s "I am Sam" is still playing the cold psychological role without any twists. She is a mature actor that cannot be underestimated. Let's wait and see, and look forward to her amazing performance again in "World War" with Brother Xiao Tang!

Who prefers to play hide and seek? Children or adults?
