The reality line and the flashback line are intertwined. Through the flashback, the audience will be given a certain amount of information at the right time. The audience and the teenager will pick up the fragments of memories together. Such a teenager who lost his memory after a car accident gradually recovered his lost memories with the help of his grandfather. The story of memory, the grandparents and grandsons melted all barriers from the indifference at the beginning to the family affection later, it seems to be a relatively routine story.
As a Bulgarian movie, it is worth noting the background of the story. The grandfather is an authentic Bulgarian, and his love of backgammon is also a symbol, while the grandson fled to West Germany with his parents during the Cold War, and the car accident amnesia is more like A metaphor for the collective spiritually rootless and lost state of the generation that escaped the so-called "democratic state", where his illness is not treated in German hospitals, that is, the culture of the immigrant country cannot be the savior of its root cause after all, only When the grandfather from the hometown ~ Bulgaria came, brought his backgammon, and took the teenager on a journey to return to his hometown, which is also a spiritual journey to return to his hometown. The creator borrowed such a story cleverly. It is integrated with the changes of contemporary Bulgarian society, reflecting on the rigid, terrifying and oppressive social environment in the Soviet era, but at the same time pointing out that this is only a problem of the system, and those virtues and values integrated in the blood of the Bulgarian nation are expressed through the role of grandfather. With strong pride and pride, the youth is also a symbol of the young generation in the post-Cold War era. The creators call on the generation who went abroad and their next generation to return to their homeland. It is the best policy, old and new. The chess king crosses the bat and takes a dramatic plot, isn't it also that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and the future is your metaphor? It can be seen that the creator's good intentions for the "Bulgarian theme" in the film.
Although the world is big, there is love around the corner. There is not only the love of men and women who meet, but also the love of my grandfather, and the love that I feel from the sense of belonging to the Bulgarian nation.
