The film addresses racial discrimination, human rights issues, and family relationships.

Against the background of white people discriminating against black people, men discriminating against women, and elders suppressing young people, the protagonist of the story, Serie, was at the lowest end of the chain of contempt from the very beginning. We saw in Serry an institutionalized victim, who awakened step by step as a human being, and evolved herself from a weak individual to a person with an independent personality. This difficult process took nearly thirty years.

She once regarded the tragic fate as the only way to go to heaven after death, but Sophia reminded her that if she could create heaven while she was alive, why would she put her hope in the ethereal after death, and Sag's The appearance made her see that even when a woman is alive, she can live a heavenly life, and it is not easy to resist the inherent concept. She has lived in an unfair world since she was a child, and the tragic experience made her feel Suffering has become numb, which is the normal life experienced by women in the past, but she has survived, and even in the long torment, her dullness to suffering has given her a bystander perspective that is detached from reality. Curious, she smiled in the melee and was in it, but her soul had come to a high place. This sense of detachment gave her a sense of indifference to suffering.

People always associate softness with women, but in fact, women's flexibility has more long-term vitality than men's rigidity, just like an old vine that is about to die, maybe just a drop of nectar can be used in cloth. The wrinkled vine skin bursts with new shoots, and Serie's heart is awakened by Sophia and Sag, but she is the one who makes the change in the end. (combining more than the movie and my own opinion)
