The whole movie is divided into three stories, the love between a Greek girl and Syrian refugees, a lingering night between a Greek husband and a female boss, and the encounter between a Greek old man and another old man in his later years.

Three stories, three relationships, from youth to middle age to old age. Three stories, it seems that each story is going through its own plot ups and downs independently, each with its own contradictions, each with its own problems, as if the three stories are connected in series to tell all that a person has to carry at different ages in his life Fate, it makes people feel uneasy and apprehensive. It seems that every relationship is wrong at the beginning. As a result, there will always be a moment of disintegration. A girl falls in love with a refugee who is exiled in her own country? A middle-aged man with a family has an affair? An old man who enjoys family relationships actually fell in love with a man who was not her husband in his later years?

These three stories seem to be wrong from the perspective of the outline. They should not be, infidelity, and even more shameless. But why does all this happen again? When I was a child, I always thought that the world was beautiful. Even if I knew that there were wars and crimes in this world, I firmly believed that the relationship between everyone was very firm, even if there were too many difficulties. Passover I also believe in each other's them. But as I grow up, I seem to feel that the relationship between people is so unbearable, so fragile and so unbearable. I thought that behind every relationship should be extremely simple, but I thought that I see it now. But there are too many factors to consider and such a complicated relationship. "There is no easy word in the adult world, and it will definitely be like this in life."

In fact, the three relationships do not exist independently, they are all shaky under the political turmoil of the country. The international refugee problem forced them to flee, facing the eyes of others with fear all day, avoiding the shooting of so-called patriotic volunteers in dark corners; changes in the economic structure forced company layoffs, children’s education costs, insurance costs, room and car expenses, and Various family expenditures force a married man to take medicine to keep his brain awake. The depression of his own emotions and the burdens of his family are weighing on him, so he chooses to release himself in a one-night stand. The turning point is finally reaching old age. Imagine that you have lived with a person for most of your life. He is old and you are old. You see him dragging an old body all day long to do nothing. You go shopping in the supermarket and even buy good ingredients. Gritting your teeth, such a life, it seems that when you are old, you can't remember why you were with him in the first place. However, at this moment, the appearance of another person brings you new ideas and hope in life. He is very different from him. He is very knowledgeable and very economical and reliable. You can trust him.

The three stories are not exaggerated and very realistic. People's lives are all restricted by the influence of this environment. Everything you do is not subject to your own choice. You are squeezed by life, and you are being squeezed by your surroundings. Influenced by people, you are running around this world for your livelihood every day. However, the appearance of a relationship seems to make you find the other side of life. You realize that life is not to be pale and indifferent, so you try to touch it, get caught in the flash of this emotional burst, and you enjoy Being in such beautiful and gorgeous colors, but just as you are dancing in the beautiful hope, a darkness covers your head. Slowly, you find that the golden splendor in front of you gradually weakens, disappearing little by little until it is exhausted. , Next, what is waiting for you is another darkness.

Maybe this is reality, the epitome of reality projected in emotions. The girl in the first story finally died by shooting, the refugees fled to Canada, the man in the second story returned to the family, the woman chose to take the opportunity to go away, and the old people in the third story After waiting, they finally met again. At the end of the film, they hugged each other deeply, as if only they were holding on to each other's love.

However, after this hug, how should life continue for them? You and I don't know.

I believe that it is a kind of beautiful hope for the director to leave such space for reverie in the last part of the old age story, and I sincerely hope that they can find their own happiness and grow old with their sons. Just as you

wish , please don’t forget the reality of this world, just as the end of the film explains the Greek mythology of Eros: “We may be in different worlds, but if we haven’t been divided, how can we blend together and how can we come to each other? Find common ground. The love of the world, the ancient Greeks understood this power, and regarded love as the god of heaven, Eros."

So, when the world is separated, please stand together with "love." Not only stick to love, but also stick to the courage and determination to love life.

    The love of a Syrian refugee and a Greek woman. The Greek economic crisis saw massive layoffs, the men and women in charge went from indifference to meltdown to unhappy separation, and the role of depression changed. A 55-year-old unhappy housewife meets a 60-year-old charming German old man, and her husband can only risk arresting people because he can't do anything else. He used to be a warrior? The stories appear to be independent but inextricably linked. Don't use your kids as an excuse to be a jerk. Do you really think we live in the free world? At this moment, two-thirds of the world is suffering. The time that has passed can no longer be recovered, and there will always be a second chance to love when you wait slowly. Politics divides human beings into two factions and fights within families, which is stupid. Divide for a long time and find common ground after division.
