The film opens with the scene of the birth of a young man, and takes the car accident as the boundary. During the development of the plot after the car accident, brief flashbacks or scenes are constantly inserted to explain the life experience of the family from birth to the car accident. It depicts the political environment of the tyranny of Bulgarian society in the 1980s, and depicts people's yearning and pursuit for a free society. In such an environment, it is not uncommon for the male lead to have a miserable childhood. Although it has strong political overtones, it should be pointed out that this film is not about political issues. Politics is just a background here.
Backgammon is an important prop, throughout. Playing chess symbolizes the grasp and attitude of life. To win, my grandfather said that throwing dice requires skill and luck. With that number in mind, if you throw it, luck will not be unfair to you. He said that although the world is big, there is love around the corner.
Authoritarian politics and a dark childhood are already very unfavorable, and an accidental car accident has wiped out the memory of the hero. Is there a worse life than this? That's not to be afraid of, it's actually nothing, because you can have the confidence and courage to pursue a better life! God is fair to everyone. The process of the protagonist returning to his hometown is a process of chasing memories and gaining a new life. Along the way, his memory recovered all the way, and it also guided the people watching the movie to think all the way. Have we ever been as stress-free and close to nature as he was? Have you ever let go of the vague future like that and just think about the eternal present? Have you ever taken life seriously like that, smiled sincerely, and took a knowing look? Have you ever given up your pursuit of beauty like that? In his book "Live to Change the World", Jobs said that every time you do something important, you decide what to do next by dying immediately. Because almost everything—all the fame, all the fear of embarrassment or failure—disappears in the face of death, and only the most real and important things remain. This film also reflects a similar idea. When you have nothing, you can't even find your memory. Life will not be dark forever. You can abandon all fears and burdens, and let your truest self go to the next corner of your destiny to find love. The key It still depends on whether we have the mentality and belief to never give up. The significance of the film to the current era may be to cause people to reflect, have we been too dazed and lost the respect we deserve for life?
On the way back home, the beautiful natural scenery from Germany via Italy to Bulgaria was also shown. The most intoxicating is the rainbow after the rain in the mountains, the town surrounded by mountains, and of course, the beautiful girl who fell in love with the protagonist at first sight.
