love, responsibility?

Every frame brought my mind back to England. He was 25 when he met her, she died at 27, so she appeared in his world at the age of 20. This companionship is 45 years. In the past 45 years, he has never erased the look of her, who was forever fixed in his heart at the age of 27.
In order to take another look at her, the old man, who is out of breath even walking, can climb up to the attic in the middle of the night to find her old photos. Usually, even walking the dog is troublesome in the morning, but he can take the bus to downtown to ask how to get to Switzerland. He also confidently answered the silly question of the lady who accompanied him for half his life: if she hadn't died, would you marry her. When he said "yes", 45 years of company seemed to go out like a bedside lamp.
The speech is hypocritical, and every stammering pause hides the myriad lies and guilt inside. And those present will never know that the resistance surging in the heart of the heroine who is sitting on pins and needles seems to have broken through the last false line of defense.
Besides, she was pregnant with his child. He is also in his twilight years doing unexpected things just because of a little bit of news about her.
This is love, something that outsiders can see and feel, something that cannot be thought rationally in the world. Unfortunately, it took 45 years for the heroine to realize that she has always been an outsider.
Men really know how to break a woman's heart.

    The story starts well and ends a little less. Works about time, company, and inner memory and emotions lack a bit of torture, and are meaningful and not enough. The actor's acting skills are very good, and the state of being absent-minded because of a youthful relationship that suddenly messed up his life and became absent-minded.
