The girl Ulla and her brother Alexander have been trying to find their father. They didn't know who the father was, and the mother said he was far away in Germany. Other than that, they don't have any news about their father. Instead of indulging in daily fantasies about your father, it's better to set off immediately. The two children thus embarked on a journey to find their father. The society is complex and sinister, and all this is difficult.
First, the sister and brother who evaded the fare and got on the train were discovered by the conductor. After inquiring, the sister handed over the place where the uncle worked. Uncle's working environment is not comfortable, the machine is roaring and dust is everywhere. He was very excited to see his uncle's two children, and his uncle also asked the children with concern. The atmosphere was quite warm.
The police who brought the child also felt that they had completed their task and were ready to leave. At this time, his uncle pulled him to a corner. Again and again, he didn't want to care about this pair of siblings. The reason is also very clear, "Although I am their uncle, I have not been in contact with their mother for a long time." In one sentence, the relationship between it and the two children was left clean. Speaking of the child's father, he told the truth: what in Germany, this is just a lie that the child's mother herself does not know who their father is. Only a child will take a lie to coax a child seriously. But even with such a clumsy lie, the children were reluctant to accept the so-called truth and left in anger.
The end of the journey to find the father is already clear, but children will not easily give up hope because of the thoughts of adults, but children who are not accepted by their uncles can only wait in the police station for the police to contact their mother. In the child's heart, if he goes back with his mother, he will really lose the hope of seeing his father. As if God wanted to fulfill these two children, a heavy snow fell. People from the police station left to watch the snow, and people on the street stopped. At this moment, it was as if a little angel flew by, and the world was silent. The girl and her brother also quietly ran out of the police station.
The journey continues, and Germany is still far away. That night, the sister and brother were walking on the snow, and someone was holding a wedding party not far away, which was very lively. On the snow-covered road, a man drove the pony, and the rope broke and the horse was dying. The driver cursed and left. The siblings looked at the dying horse with sympathy and sadness, and the younger brother cried extremely sadly. On this snowy night, Ulla and Alexander witnessed the painful and helpless death of a living being. On the other side, the people walking out of the party, singing and dancing, passed by the death of an animal that was commonplace. Comparing the two is absurd and sad.
The siblings continued to move forward, and one morning they met a young man, Orestes, who was driving a bus. He kindly invited the siblings to get in the car and promised to send them off for a while. The many costumes in the bus aroused Alexander's interest. He approached the youth, and the youth also enthusiastically told him about his profession, a stage actor.
Orestes is a rare warmth in the whole movie. He temporarily took in his siblings, but his situation was not good. Stage plays were not popular at the time, and the entire troupe had little work and was ostracized. In fact, Orestes is also confused, but he is also kind and warm. When night came, he was hanging out with his siblings, and in a trash can, he found a piece of discarded film. There was a vast expanse of white in the film, but he told his siblings that there was a tree inside. The younger brother stared at the film for a long time, but didn't see it. Ao smiled and said, "I lied to you. In fact, I didn't see it either. Then I gave the film to my younger brother."
Saying goodbye to the youth, the sister and brother continue to move forward. But the weather was unsatisfactory. Under the pouring rain, my sister chose to hitch a ride on the side of the road for her brother. But the passing vehicles hurried past in the heavy rain, and in the end only a dirty truck allowed them to get on. The truck driver, a bald middle-aged man, left in anger after failing to approach the waitress in the restaurant. Parked the car in a desolate place, the driver asked my sister to get off. My sister wanted to run, but the child couldn't run as an adult man. This beast violated the girl in his car. There were also cars parked in the open space in the middle, but no one came forward to stop the crime. The sleeping brother woke up and didn't see his sister, so he got out of the car and shouted to look for it. The driver left the carriage in a hurry. The car covered in rags can't see the whole picture, but from the gap we can see the little girl moving out of the car weakly. She sat on the car sluggishly, touched the bottom of her skirt with her hand, and when she took it out, blood was flowing. dripping. She looked numb, and blood flowed into the car.
Ulla therefore had no choice but to evade fares and take the train to Germany with her younger brother. When he arrived at a certain station, Ulla saw many police officers outside the train, worried that they were looking for him and his younger brother, and fled the train in fear. When fleeing to avoid the police, Ulla met the young Otters again, and with his help, kept away from the police. The Otto Company is now based in the city, but the troupe's business has not improved. The captain was also seriously ill. Everyone can only sell the costumes in exchange for living expenses. The costumes are floating on the seashore, like those who are helpless like duckweeds and can't see the future.
Ao, who left the troupe, took his siblings to a small hotel. This was the first time they slept in bed after leaving home. This feeling is extraordinarily sweet. But Ao's sat on the pier in confusion and looked at the rough sea in the distance, and found that a behemoth floated out. The helicopter brought the thing out of the water. It is a huge stone statue in the shape of a human hand. Where the hand seems to be pointing. But its index finger has long been broken, and under the restraint of the plane, it spins aimlessly. This huge stone-like hand of God did not know where it came from, nor where it would be taken, nor where it was pointing.
Ao wants to help his siblings and is going to sell his motorcycle. At the motorcycle market, Ao met a man, had a good conversation with him, and went to a bar with his siblings. The elder sister and younger brother waited for a long time, but they did not wait until O. My sister went to the depths of the bar to find it. Ao and the man were still chatting, we don't know the content of their chat, but Ulla walked away angrily. Along the way, Ulla gradually develops a crush on Ao, but Ao is gay. O caught up with Ulla from behind, told them "he didn't want a parting like this" and broke up, definitely not a good end. Ulla stopped and cried for the first time after going through so much. Under Ao's comfort, the siblings formally bid farewell to the young man.
At the station, I wanted to buy a ticket to Ulla, Germany, but I found that I didn't have enough money. About three hundred yuan. She looked at a soldier squatting outside, walked over, and said the amount of money she wanted. The meaning was self-evident. The soldier was first shocked, then hesitant, then lit a cigarette, and then seemed to make up his mind. . He walked to a hidden place, and the girl behind him followed. But in the end, the soldier's conscience still made him give up, he threw away the cigarette angrily, put the money on a train car, and left.
This is the first time the siblings have bought a ticket and boarded the bus since they embarked on the journey. The two sat in a comfortable carriage and never had to dodge when the conductors approached. This is when the icy alert sound on the train sounded, "Please prepare your passports for travelers heading to Germany for easy inspection." The siblings could only get off the train again.
In the dark night, the siblings touched a river next to the border. The two of them got on a boat without any hesitation. When the frontier searchlights shone on the boat, only a scold was heard, followed by a gunshot. Back to darkness and tranquility.
When the screen lights up again, it is a vast white fog. My sister said "I'm scared". The younger brother told his elder sister a story, and this story was told to him by the elder sister at the beginning. At first there was only darkness... Gradually, a scene appeared in front of Ulla and Alexander, and they saw a tree in the fog, and the sister and brother walked towards the tree.
what's the result? do not know. Did the shot at the border hit? do not know. So is that tree in the fog real? still unknown...
