It just touches our heart

The lives of sisters Ross and Nora can be described as a mess. Sister Rose was a hot cheerleader in high school. She talked to the quarterback Mike of the football team about a high-profile relationship, but now she can only work as a cleaner, be Mike's underground lover, and raise Mike. The illegitimate child Oscar. Sister Nora is a problem girl, she doesn't have a job and always needs her sister to take care of her. It cannot be said that the sisters' bad situation is due to their mother's suicide when they were young, but that incident did leave a huge shadow in their hearts. In order to pay for Oscar's school expenses, Rose started to clean up the dead under Mike's suggestion and asked Nora for help. The job was very dirty and smelly, but they gradually found the doorway, established a "sunshine cleaning" company, and made some famous ones. And this job gives them the opportunity to intervene in the lives of others and provide help in such a special way, which is also good for comforting their own hearts. Just as the company became more and more similar, Nora's negligence caused a fire and burned down the client's house. The company couldn't do it anymore, Rose returned to work as a cleaner and had to do more part-time jobs to pay off debts. Life seems to be in a worse situation.

The story is plain, there is no big opening and closing, no great sadness and joy, but it can move our hearts. In fact, the more plain the story is, the more difficult it is for the screenwriter, because there is no twists and turns, there is no singing and three sighs, only solid details can be used to express the characters. Nora climbs the railroad tracks and Ross talks with her mother on the radio. They are both great details and sensational enough. What's more, the two sisters talk to her mother in different ways, showing the two people's different personalities. Of course, apart from the ordinary, there will still be conflicts. After accidents, company closures, and life downturns, the sisters fought a cold war and then quarreled. This was the climax of the whole show. It is precisely this quarrel that allows them to understand each other and face each other frankly, which can help each other out of the shadows.

At the end of the film, his father sold the house to help Rose reopen a company, and Nora began to drive around to find herself. It's a bit of a meaning to the sky, maybe the sun can really wash away all the unsatisfactory things in life. In fact, there is no lack of sunshine in our lives. Whether we can use this to cleanse the haze in our hearts depends on whether we are sunflowers or green radishes.

The music of the ps movie is great, but I didn’t find the relevant download, which is a pity.
