This is a simple film, but it will undoubtedly make you think about some ugly corners of the society in which you live, and sympathize with the "pure" "mentally retarded" man who killed with a switchblade.

When the boy was 12 years old, he brutally killed his mother and lover with a switchblade, and was sent to a mental hospital. Several decades later, the boy became a middle-aged man. He returned to society with a healthy body, a head called an "idiot" by others, and a Bible.

He found a job and established a sincere friendship with a boy. The boy lived with his mother, and his father died in a car accident. Mother and son were entangled by a rough construction worker. Because the mother and child are disgusted with their behavior, it threatens the life and even life of the mother and child. On the second day when the builder drove the man out of the boy's house in a commanding tone, the man, under the guidance of the "Bible", killed his mother with a switchblade knife. He returned to the mental hospital, looking at the bewildering and ugly world outside.

He went into a mental hospital because of the murder, and after entering the society, he finally returned to mental illness because of the murder. There is no doubt that this process in the middle hints to us: what is wrong with society. When he first walked out of the hospital, he said that he would not kill again. In the course of his behavior, we saw his love-friendship, love, and did not expect him to kill again because of hatred. His last two knives were so awake, he even ate food after killing. He was tired of the world outside.

After watching the movie, it took a long time to forget the man's elegant and simple language and sincere attitude. The boy of his friend said: I like the way you speak. I would also like.
