In the movie, the mother said: "On some nights you will think: I can't stand it for one more minute. But when I wake up in the morning, the kitchen is smelling of coffee, the children have combed their hair, and you will look at your husband. , He is not as good as you think, but he is your life, your children, and your home are all based on him. That is your life and your history. If you remove him, then It will be like cutting his face out of a photo, it will only run through a big hole and destroy everything.
