From the reinforced concrete building in London back to the vineyards of Provence, the protagonist Max retrieved the good memories of his childhood and gained love at the same time. He chose to stay and live. The process reflects a kind of spiritual return. In today's society, slow-paced variety shows like "Longing for Life", as well as homestays, appease modern people's desire to "return to nature", allowing them to calm down and enjoy life in this fast-paced society of fame and fortune fun of.

But no matter what Max chooses in the future, it is undeniable that this year of returning to the vineyard is a beautiful year in his life and a precious year for Max.
