The middle-aged couple Morris and Monika lead a wealthy life. Morris is an independent videographer who takes pictures of people. He also has a poor and nervous sister, Cynthia, who lives alone with his daughter Roxanne. Cynthia and Roxanne are always in a state of igniting hooks. Cynthia's endless nagging and worldly talk have fixed her image of a lonely little woman, and Roxanne's frivolous words and deeds have made Cynthia endlessly annoyed.
When the black girl Hortens found Cynthia and told her that she was Cynthia's daughter, Cynthia's reaction was shocked and puzzled. When she finally remembered the past, she was depressed or even crying with joy because of the regrets of her life.
At the barbecue banquet for Roxanne’s birthday, Cynthia finally revealed to everyone that Hortens was her biological daughter when she was 16 years old, and the so-called secret was also revealed, as well as the fact that Monika was infertile. Morris said that it was too annoying and exhausting to be caught between the three of his favorites, and was frustrated by their impulsiveness and extreme and endless quarrels. And Roxanne finally recognized Hortense’s sister. Once the secrets and lies were revealed, they were told in broad daylight, which instead gave the two families peace.
Tranquility is a kind of cohesion, but the mother and daughter Cynthia and Roxanne are always in a state of controversy in order to subvert each other, but they are contending on the most metaphysical level of sexual intercourse or life boredom. On the other hand, Hortens is relatively rational and calm, and he always knows how to put himself in and think for others instead of trampling on the value of others. Therefore, Hortens lives relatively lightly and freely, without being dazzled by the hustle and bustle.
The process of acknowledgment by Hortens is also very dilute and restrained. Her adoptive parents are dead, and the process of finding her biological mother is a process of renewing her life. Compared to her mother Cynthia’s tears and tears, Hortens seemed calm and sophisticated. Perhaps it was the identity of an optometrist that made her respectful, patient, and possess connotation. Roxanne is unrestrained and restless, only knowing smoking and sex, which pales in comparison to her sister.
Morris has always treated his wife, sister and niece kindly with a generous and gentle heart. But the superficial hypocrisy and harmony can't change the fact that they are infertile. Even when his marriage was in jeopardy, he did not give up Monika, who shared the troubles with him. Mixed between these three women, he lived too depressively, and the release of all his talented life was concentrated in his photography work. When the original photography shop manager said that this shop belongs to him, Morris was frivolous and not ostentatious. His anger clearly shows his inner view of life. It turns out that how much money he makes is secondary. As long as he can independently take care of the life and put it into practice, it is the regularity of life and the transcendence of the insulting and slow Gaoge.
Sometimes, secrets and lies are indeed indispensable to safeguarding modern civilization, as well as the foundation of modern people's privacy rights, but sometimes the truth can be disclosed to the world to treat this tragic and joyous world with a newer and better attitude. The quality wins the literary and the wild, the literary wins the quality and the history, the gentleman then the gentleman. How to grasp the degree depends on how the parties avoid the fancy, so as to obtain the tranquility and balance of the meaning of life.
