"Stay in Time", a film by a famous French director that explores life. From beginning to end, it is a dying person's peaceful waiting for death. No dying struggles, no telling to anyone but an elderly grandmother. Life is coming to an end, and all that fills my mind are childhood memories, in church, in the jungle, with childhood sweethearts, with my sister, and with my father. He still remembers when he was in the jungle as a child, he wanted to bring home a wounded rabbit, otherwise the rabbit would be eaten by other animals. Father said, let's go, this is the law of nature. Today he, like the rabbit in the jungle, has to face the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. He has grief, fear, from initial overwhelm to final calm. At the end of life, all are childhood fantasies. The time resides in the not-so-good childhood, sleeping quietly on the beach where the crowds have dispersed.
