Family affection
Tom Baker is both a parent and a friend. For Nora, although they did not approve of her cohabitation with her boyfriend, they still respected her choice. Although a little disappointed, the little girl who was sitting on her shoulders left them in the blink of an eye. For Charlie, when Tom decides to move, it means that Charlie will be separated from all his partners, including his girlfriend of course. In fact, as the head of the family, Tom didn't need to feel guilty at all, but he still gave the old car to Charlie. Charlie said that this was a bribery, and Tom also acquiesced, but what it embodied was more of the father's understanding of his son's mood and his desire to communicate with him.

Home is a harbor, a place where you can unload all the burdens. What it gives you is not a comfortable bed, but a place to sleep peacefully. Tom finally gave up his dream, because he had another dream.
