life cycle

In this film, my personal interpretation is like this. At the beginning, two young people planned the future and entered a community with uniform houses. These houses represent the life of the general public, ordinary, without features, everyone is the same, and they live the same life every day. They tried to escape, but unexpectedly had a child. They were unprepared for the child, which led to their disgust, and the day began to become not only monotonous, but more boring. When the male protagonist was smoking, he discovered that a pit could be dug under the house. He became obsessed with digging a pit, hoping that he could escape from his current life. In the end, he died, which may imply that the male protagonist left here by giving up everything. The heroine stayed to take care of the children and continued to live like this until the children became adults. She left the house and car to the children, dedicated her life, and finally let the children leave the community. What happens after you leave? The child returns to the house sale, buries the former salesman, receives new young people, and begins the same cycle again. . . Maybe this is the sadness of the public. The heroine has also seen worlds of other colors, worlds of different colors, and the end result is the same.
