A low atmosphere pervades the people

The sense of stress passed on to me unknowingly from everyone in the film.
The film unfolds after the accidental death of a girl. Sad beginning, sad ending.
From the film, we can get such a concept: judgment, judgment determines the result.
The girl’s father is the most excitable and the most likely to exert personal influence. The most honest and repressed is Dave, who was sexually abused when he was a child, an old friend of the girl’s father.
The ending tells us:
first, don’t be too self-righteous;
second, don’t suppress yourself too much, no matter how painful the past will finally pass, rather than closing yourself up, so that more people can’t understand, causing unnecessary suspicion or even misunderstanding, it is very difficult. It's not worth it, it's even more irresponsible to lose your life and future.
Third, there are misunderstandings in life, but they can be solved with frank communication - the premise is to really open up your heart.
