The room is both physical and psychological. The follow-up separation and healing of malignant events is a common topic, but the entry point of the film is very unique. It unfolds from the vision of a child, describes the color and shape of the world, and expresses a tenacious and great maternal love. The advantage lies in restraint and delicate expression, the excellent performance of the little boy, especially his eyes when he first sees the beauty of the world; the disadvantage is that the actor who plays the mother can be peaceful after being imprisoned in isolation for many years.
