Although we may have a very complete plan for our future, life is still full of countless possible variables, some that make you happy, some that make you miserable, and sometimes that make you laugh and cry.
As the French often say, C'est La Vie (this is life).
A pianist who has always been underappreciated thinks that his talent is suddenly favored by the world, but unexpectedly, his wife paid the price for it. Later, in the quarrel with his wife, he just wanted to gamble and left his wife angrily, but unexpectedly made a big mistake that could never be undone in this life. When he had already lost all his thoughts and no longer yearned for the "sweetness of love", but he never expected to be favored by a beautiful woman again, when the beautiful woman felt that she had found the perfect destination in this life, but she never expected that her life would end for herself The love of - "blocked the bullet"... .
After clearing up all kinds of painful feelings, the pianist returned to the place where he used to work, because life has to go on... .
Truffaut is a very affectionate person, and what makes people unexpected is that this affectionate guy actually tells a story that should be extremely sad, but has a sense of humor.
This is the way the French see life, I think.

    Sadness and humor are quietly intertwined. There are not so many mysteries. Just a life.
