"My dear little daughter, your selfishness has reached absurd proportions. It's my responsibility to be like this, I hope I don't pamper you, but of my two daughters, you're the prettiest. Act like a spoiled brat to me. It is your need, I also need you to act like a spoiled child to me, I am very lonely, your mother is hospitalized all the year round, which makes us more close. Over the years, I love you madly, when you are the most favored, your sister gave up You have become more and more arrogant, mean, indifferent, and more and more superficial. Even so, I still dote on you. Now, I am very angry with you, and I can't help it, even though I am dying, Your rebellion makes me angry. I am guilty, I made my little daughter proud, I still admire your pride so much, but your pride has fermented and turned into insensitive hypocrisy. Today, suffering Suddenly, it's okay, you're my daughter, be strong like me. Do you think a wry smile can hide your happiness? You're happy because pride makes you weak, but suffering gives you strength. You're so submissive until I Found that beneath your submissive exterior lies a strong will and a desire to destroy my heart. You terrify me, I hate you, my little daughter, I am dying, I am going to die and you are alive, I found That's not fair. I can't stand me dying in front of you, I want you to die for me, even if it's not possible." Here's what a cancer-stricken father told his daughter Nora in a book draft he finished before he died accusation.

"I'm your nightmare, you damn zombie."

"Stop torturing me, you lunatic, what do you want me to do? I work 14 hours a day, worrying about everything, but every night you wake me up and make me restless. You're in my ear Vicious curse, we just met 6 months ago, you are so beautiful, we have sex, and you get pregnant, it's fine, wonderful. We do what you want, but stop talking about me behind your back. Because you're a lunatic , so I don't care."

"Whether it's to me or to work, you're not doing your due diligence. Even at home, you ignore me."

"You kill me, shut your mouth, I want to sleep, stop talking!" This is Nora's child's father's accusation to Nora before shooting a bullet into his chest.

The interesting thing about the film is that the story line of Nora and her father is told in a way that is first promoted and then suppressed. When she found out that her father was seriously ill, she took on the responsibility of taking care of him, while her sister was looking for money from her father far away. It seems that Nora is an extremely filial, responsible daughter, and a strong contrast to her sister. But in the end, her father's words subverted the image and cognition she had created before. The sister asked for money because she voluntarily gave up her inheritance rights. Nora had always been a mean, arrogant, controlling, and self-centered daughter. The story line of Nora and her deceased husband is first and then down. The deceased husband's phantom that appears from time to time has a romantic and affectionate dialogue with Nora. They talk about their children, and their eyes are full of love. At this time, we do not know why the father of the child died, and we can only lament their misfortune through the communication between the yin and yang couple. It was not until later that the memory of the two quarreling, complaining and hating each other appeared, which completely destroyed the previous impression. The story line of the male protagonist, Ismail, is also in the first place. But his life has slowly stood up after hitting a low point. He met a cool girl with suicidal tendencies in a mental hospital, and the two men and women who seemed to be out of shape had a good impression of each other during the conversation. Ismail's sister hated him because he used to decide her sister's life plans. When he was discharged from the hospital, he was left with nothing and lost his job as a violinist. But he finds new hope in his father. When he encounters a group of robbers in his father's grocery store, his father's brave battle makes Ismail's heart a hero. The father's adoption of his nephew also directly affected Ismail. He recognized Nora's child as his son, allowing the child who had never seen his father to have a father. He confessed to the cool girl that he was afraid to say the truth in the mental hospital. At the end of the film, his words about "mistakes and life" to "son" are moving, and Ismail shows the face of a loving father at this time. Both he and Nora have made mistakes in their long lives, and now they have the same son. This is a new beginning. Some mistakes cannot be made up, but you still have to stand up and move on.
