Family

Indifferent, without desire. Life is really amazing, and the happiness of my family in London reminds me of my parents and even their future. People in the past were really simple and easy to satisfy, and the love of the post-70s generation was very pure. This is the life of chai, rice, oil and salt. 2 people, one suite, together for a lifetime.

The most tear-jerking is that in the end, my mother left, and my father was alone in the empty room...

I suddenly realized that it was not someone else, not my child, but your lover who accompanied me through my life.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
