In fact, it is quite a fun fable setting. One day, a god suddenly asks you to choose to kill a family member to pay for the sins you have committed. How would you choose? How will your family react?
The family took action one after another. The son said that he wanted to be like his father, the daughter said that he would sacrifice everything for his family, and the wife said that he had the ability to have more children. In the end, the father sacrificed his son at random. separately.
The director's consistent style is a very avant-garde experiment, the atmosphere is gloomy and terrifying, and the truth is peeled off layer by layer. In fact, the visibility is okay.
The biggest problem is, first, why the son of the deceased patient has superpowers and can freely control life and death like a god. In the end, there is no explanation; the other is that the family's reaction is not natural enough to be close to the myth, it is very strange, everyone. It's hard to feel with empathy why a mother wants to sacrifice her child so much, or why her daughter must run away with the murderer. The above two senses of absurdity make the whole story unacceptable and become a castle in the air.
