Lily, played by little freckles, has really beautiful and moving eyes. Outstanding acting. At that time, the society did not reflect too much on Aina's transformation, and paid more attention to the inner struggles of the parties involved. It's amazing that Aina loves his wife deeply, but when she transforms into Lily, this love also transforms. Finally, the wife returned to Aina's hometown and saw the Valle and the five trees in front of the lake that Aina often showed in his paintings, which was like a memorial. But it seems to let the audience see the contradiction when Aina faced Lily at that time, staring at the scene in front of her, struggling with love and contradiction. Only in his later paintings will he paint his hometown so stubbornly, it is not only his but also Lily's. Lily is very brave.

Einar Wegener: Every morning I promised myself that I will spend the entire day as Einar. But there's so little of Einar left.
Hans Axgil: You think these things because you're exhausted.
Einar Wegener: Sometimes I think about killing Einar. But it's only the thought that I'd be killing Lili too that stops me.
