The impressive line is that it's a gift and you make money with it. The film is about an old lady whose children deal with the inheritance after her death. The difference is that the old lady herself and her property are very precious cultural heritage. This kind of problem is also encountered in China: how to preserve cultural heritage. Whether to make money from it and let it change or even destroy it, or to preserve it—preservation is also problematic. After the collection reaches the museum, the question becomes: Is the value of the object in the application or the exhibition? The exhibition has the functions of preservation, appreciation and wide dissemination, but the most primitive use value of the object itself does not exist. For a vase itself, is it better to stand at the corner of the table full of water and greet people's admiring smiles, or to stand dry in a glass cabinet with constant temperature and humidity? The answer may be multiple. Therefore, the director himself did not give an answer, and the film is even like a small poem, without a climax.
However, the view of the French countryside in summer is something to admire.
