A beautiful life like a utopia.

"When are you going to use this potato for soup?"
"?"
"Because I have an onion, you can replace it with me when you make potato soup..."
"I have 8 potatoes in total, I will store 3 for winter, 2 I'm going to have 2 Orga for dinner, and 1 potato is not enough"
"...but I'm sick...need...can you give me half a potato?"
"Okay then"
——About Potato's dialogue, roughly the same. Thinking of laughing to tears.

In fact, I don't believe that the poverty shown in the film is real Finland. I always feel that there seems to be a kind of utopian virtual imagination in the poverty, which is based on the author's romantic imagination of his hero being in poverty.

    Life is hard, but fortunately life is warm.

    Without the slightest ambition or ambition, the shot is thick and salty, just like the sea unique to Northern Europe. It shouldn't be regarded as a warm sketch, as if a giant picks up a sandbag casually, the pattern is still extraordinary inadvertently. The music is very nice and worth collecting. As for the past, there will be no if there is no, what can it matter? In the beginning, you set foot on the train to leave the past behind, didn’t you? And a mischievous catastrophe just happened to come true for you. In this way, the rest of life starts from scratch, with only half-hearted confusion and no muddle-headed fetters.
