love

This film tells a pitiful and heart-wrenching love story in a village shrouded in a strong religious atmosphere.
Without intense sensational treatment, lack of tragic face, even the characters appear too plain. The story arises in love, love continues in the story, everything is so natural,

but the following story is not so plain. Life was shattered by a sudden disaster, and love was crying secretly. A man who has lost his consciousness of survival can only suffer from desire. A woman who loves her husband makes a

pitiful sacrifice in exchange for a miracle. All this is for love, only for the continuation of the love between him and her.
Love is always the victim of tragedy. If you lose your sorrow, maybe love is no longer love. Lars von Trier's unique love, there are no tears after seeing it, but sad blood is flowing in his heart
