That daughter-in-law was very annoying, not laying eggs, but also asking the old lady who had basically no requirements to do this and that. That son didn't want to go back to his hometown because he was sad and didn't want to recall the past. The most basic thing the old lady wants is to go back to her hometown to meet her friends who have played since childhood, but...

      The lens is pushed a bit deliberately and classically, but it is very interesting. Indoors and outdoors seem to be in contrast. Passers-by in life are lovely, but life partners are like...

The film's success is yet another testament to the fact that depicting a person's existence is the deepest and most...
