Family is nothing more than a group of people linked by genes

The second sister and her cousin are in love. 3. The third sister's fiancé seduced the eldest sister's daughter. Later, they learned two things: 1. Ma Ma taking drugs. 2.

I downloaded it for a long time and watched it because the title made me mistakenly think it was a political film, but it was actually a proper family film. "Families are nothing more than a group of people connected by genes. They do not have such tacit understanding, so frankness, and so understanding." They were together because of their father's death, and they were separated because of their personal affairs, as if they were forced to before a meal. Just like praying, sacrificing is just a form, if it is not made with sincerity.


If the seven aunts and eight aunts of this family were really this combination, the stars would be so bright that they would not have to turn on the lights every day. Meryl Streep is already very good, Julia Roberts' eldest sisters are skinny, and Curly Fu is almost a soy sauce, okay, but the few songs he sang to his sister almost made me go over the wall oh, so beautiful...
