The film begins with a scenic forest scene and a deer that is about to be slaughtered in a coming-of-age ceremony. The main roles of a father with 6 children, a grandfather and a mother who committed suicide due to depression; the parents built a "home school" for the 6 children in the deep forest that only belongs to them. In this home school The teacher's education is very successful, teaching the children profound mathematical knowledge, foreign languages, hunting skills, and political theories that even we don't understand (there is a section in the movie where the eldest son mentions "Maoists", is it Mao Zedong's theory? group?). . . . Not much nonsense, everyone who has watched the movie knows. In the end, the father realized that his education was problematic and wrong. It became an obstacle for the children to speak with strangers, and the children were separated from the society and returned to the life of primitive people; finally, the father took the children back to the beginning. The children also went to school, the eldest son went to the university he wanted to go to.

A very novel family and affection movie, you can watch it at home during the epidemic.

Finally, come on Wuhan! Go China! Come on medical staff!
