In a car accident, Julie lost her husband and five-year-old child, and she almost died. The first thing she could get out of bed and walk around was to smash the glass of the hospital pharmacy, intending to swallow the medicine to commit suicide. After she was discharged from the hospital, she sold the house, made a will, took care of the funeral in advance, and prepared to live a secluded life in isolation. On the eve of her departure, she invited her boyfriend who had been pursuing her for many years, and took the initiative to make love with him. This was a reward for him, and it was also the last ceremony for her to bid farewell to everything in the past. She was so decisive with the past that she didn't even want the manuscripts of the famous musician's husband when she left. She only brought a blue wind chime with her previous items. For her, the family is destroyed and everything is meaningless. She has only one thought: waiting for death to come. Although she wants to be isolated from the world, real life is always intrusive: a victim of street violence late at night, fled into her house, but shut her out; neighbors asked her to sign and agree to expel a prostitute out of the building; and , The husband’s music sounded in my ears from time to time, and so on. She thought of her mother. My mother has been waiting for death for many years, and I don't know how she came here. She went to visit. Her mother stayed in front of the TV all day and didn't even recognize her daughter, thinking it was her own sister. These days of death are terribly boring. The life waiting to die in despair is so heavy. Whenever she fell into conflict, pain, struggle, she jumped into the blue pool to swim. Here, water is a symbol of life, and blue represents freedom and the tranquility of the soul. Life has no meaning, so there can be no freedom of life and tranquility of the soul. Her boyfriend finally found her, but the love of others did not arouse her enthusiasm for returning to life. An accidental opportunity changed her attitude towards death. She saw her boyfriend publish her husband's manuscript from the TV show. This manuscript, entitled "European Concerto", was originally intended to be performed at the same time in symphony orchestras of twelve EU countries when the EU was established. Her boyfriend announced that he would finish the work. From TV, Julie also saw a photo of her husband before her death, with a close girlfriend next to her. She disagreed with her boyfriend's completion of her husband's work, saying it was private. But her boyfriend said it was public and insisted on finishing it. She asked who the woman in her husband's photo was? When she met her husband’s lover, the female lawyer asked her: "Do you hate me?" She replied, "I don't know." When she found out that the female lawyer was pregnant with her husband's child for nine months, she went home Then immediately stopped selling the house and gave it to the husband’s girlfriend. Julie changed her attitude towards death in despair and re-awakened the enthusiasm for life. She saw that her husband's life had not disappeared because of death, whether it was mental or physical, it was continuing.

    She walked on the trajectory of his past time and space, so she finally ran into him in the present.

    Double body. Auguste is the young judge himself. He suffered a betrayal many years ago, and his life trajectory has never been changed. So he would say to Valentina, "Maybe you are the woman I have never met." At the end of the movie, Valentina and Auguste were rescued ashore together. He saw the other himself through the TV screen, as if the two lives of flowers were not about the story and spiritual connection of two people, but a double of Veronica. Life, August and the judge are therefore not two people, but two versions of the same person, two possibilities. As a result, our reality presents a certain extreme fragility and contingency-our reality is only a possibility in an open situation, not even the most likely result, and other potential possible results have not been completely ruled out. It is the ghosts of possible events that continue to haunt our "real" reality. (Zizek)
