The story unfolds from the perspective of a four-year-old boy, telling the busy but warm daily life of a small family of four after the birth of his sister. The director also intersperses the past and future of the family in the story in the form of a timeline. The fantastic narrative method breaks the constraints of time and space, allowing the audience to see the continuity of the family: the strict and meticulous mother also "dismantled the house" when she was a child , The omnipotent father also cried for learning to bike, the beautiful love story of great-grandfather and great-grandmother...
Such a narrative method is refreshing, and it also makes the audience think about the continuation of family and even life. Life is short, even close relatives can only accompany you for a period of life, but as long as you accompany each other and grow together with love for each other, family love can transcend life and be passed down from generation to generation.
Reading some philosophical books recently, these books have made me realize more and more that human beings as a group, whose existence (soul and body) is based on the foundation of extreme vulnerability that cannot withstand rational thinking. In the face of the meaning of existence in nothingness, in the face of a dark and unknown world, human beings often form a group to resist this philosophical sense of terror. The origins of national religious clans belong to this category. To me, can a warm family really bring comfort to our souls?
