The so-called hope, the so-called price

The narration of the film is slow and deep, which caused me a moment of stunnedness after watching it.

The colonel said: When I was in the Caspian Sea, I cut down the trees along the coast so that I could see the sea from the terrace of the house.
Then there was the escape of their family, who spent all their savings in order to make their daughter a decent marriage. During the day, I do heavy work on the construction site. After get off work, I go to the hotel bathroom to change into clean and decent clothes. The major life gap did not overwhelm him, because there is still hope in his heart, hoping to settle down, have his own house, and no longer be disturbed and live in exile.

Cathy's decadence and unwillingness to face reality are like many young people who are just getting by. The house she lives in was auctioned off by the state government. So, displaced. In the movie, her family only appears on the phone, and once the mother calls and says: I will come to see you with your aunt on the 18th. Another time she called her brother. There are always too many moments in life that we can't face and bear. If the family is around, it may really be a kind of happiness.

The story revolves around the house by the sea. Two people who were originally unrelated to each other suddenly stood on opposite sides of each other, so that their original lives were completely destroyed.

Desperate, cathy attempted suicide and was rescued by the colonel. After swallowing the medicine, he was rescued by the colonel's wife. When you see this, you will feel that there is a turning point in everything.
In the end, cathy's lover kidnapped the colonel and his son to go to the state government to sign the transfer agreement. There was a dispute on the way, and the son died unexpectedly. The colonel prayed in Islamic rituals alone in the hospital lounge. It's too late.

People are always involuntarily controlled by their desires. If they walk in the fog, they will always be at a loss and can't tell the direction. Sometimes it's not hatred that destroys our lives, it's the hope we hold. And it is inseparable from the sum of hope and cost.

cathy rushed back to the house from the sea, the colonel and his wife were lying quietly in the bedroom, at this moment, it was the relief for them, they could go back to their hometown, go back to the terrace of the old house, and see the endless sea in front of them. There is a past.

cathy curled up beside them like a baby.

    85 is too depressing, and the people watching are in despair. The actors' acting skills exploded together, especially Jennifer, who showed a person's lost state too well, and those melancholy eyes made her appear free and ethereal. Every aspect of the director is both beautiful and realistic, and at the same time there is no lack of drama. The narrative in the second half is obviously accelerated, and the helpless state between people really makes people want to sigh. The humble wishes of the little people lead to more profound tragedies
