This lame angel can still fly beautifully.
Only at the end, in the beautiful garden at dusk, walked step by step along the gravel road to the love she was looking for, only to see two lines of clear tears slowly falling on her face.
Unswerving love is vividly displayed in such a French film with a brutal war as the background.
The sea, the lighthouse, the albatross, their acquaintance, weave into a beautiful fairy tale.

Sweet with bitterness, bitter with astringency, long aftertaste.
