However, Pavina, a pregnant woman who immigrated from Iran and newly moved into this Swedish community, is not the majority in our eyes. She is a woman who is familiar with herself.

The film begins with the hero Ovi's decision to die. He committed suicide six times, and every near-death illusion turned into a retrospective memory. With colorful lenses and memories, the director showed us Ovi's past, and let us know a three-dimensional and plump Ovi, who resisted the desolate Ovi with soft survival.

Ou Wei, who lost his mother since childhood, lived alone with his father. 16 years old, my father was killed by a train. Ou Wei inherited his father's work. He is at a loss, has no friends and doesn't know what the future is. A big fire followed and brutally burned down his home.

Homeless Ovi jumped on the train. When he woke up, he met the first and only miracle in his life, Sonia.

If a person's total amount of good luck is constant, then meeting Sonia will exhaust all of Ovi's good luck.

What kind of woman is Sonia? If the world in Ovi's eyes is black and white, then Sonia is Ovi's color, all his colors. If someone asks Ovi, he will say that he didn't have a life before Sonia, and he hasn't had one since.

Sonia is a clever woman. She recognized Ovi, who had nothing, and gave him love and trust. She is also the person who knows Ovi best in the world.

An accident took Sonia's upcoming baby and left her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Because of her disabled legs, Sonia always wanted to be a teacher, but she was rejected in numerous interviews. Ou Wei blamed herself for this and even hated the government and society. Sonia, trapped in a wheelchair, persuaded Ovi in turn: "How should we live, choose death or live hard?"

Ou Wei turned grief into strength, and made a passage for the disabled with wood and nails that night, so that the school had no reason to refuse Sonia to work here. Sonya, who likes reading, has become a happy teacher. She teaches and educates. Even in a wheelchair, she still shines on Ou Wei and the people around her with her sunshine.

Wang Yangming said: "when you didn't see this flower, it died with you;" When you come to see this flower, the color of this flower will be understood for a while. "

This sentence also reveals the communication between people. When you don't know Ovi, he is just an eccentric and mean old man in your eyes. When you really get to know him, you will find him lovely and warm.

Fate is cruel, and Ovi's life keeps losing until he meets Sonia. He is a soft-hearted man who loves for a long time. He was ashamed to expose his weakness. He stubbornly isolated warmth and softness from his heart with a hard and stubborn shell, but in the enthusiasm of his new neighbor, he melted the ice residue in his heart.

Ou Wei believes that being a man can't be willful, just like loyalty is worthless. So he will love Sonia for decades. Even if she was teased by fate countless times, even if she was aborted in a car accident and could not get pregnant again, even if she lost her legs, even if she was seriously ill and could not be cured, his love for her never changed at all. So after her death, he will feel bored and try to kill himself to follow in her footsteps.

Ovi wants everything in order. He looks after everything around him every day, helps Pavina look after two lovely daughters and tells them stories. He taught Pavina to drive seriously and patiently. He silently repaired Xiong Haizi's bike, and he accompanied the teenager who was driven out of the house because of coming out. Even when he committed suicide, Ovi was meticulous. He prepared a strong rope, stood calmly on a stool in the middle of the house, put on a suit and sprayed perfume.

When Ou Wei gave Pavina's newborn baby a cradle made by himself, but he didn't have a chance to use it, when he finally had the courage to hold this little life in his arms, Ou Wei finally stopped fighting with the world and began to reconcile with himself and the world.

On the day of living, there are always wings of death hovering, and the warmth and mutual help created by neighbors give Ou Wei the courage to fight death. Ou Wei established contact with outsiders and began to accept help from others.

The film shows the street life in northern Europe in detail with carefully polished details. When a person goes out, what will he see, what will he encounter and what consequences will he bring. Let everyone who watches movies get an immersive experience.

The most terrible thing about death is not to take away the body, but to take away all the meanings accumulated in the body.

In the novel, Ou Wei has an inner monologue about death: death is a strange thing. People pretend it doesn't exist all their lives, even if it is one of the biggest motives in life. We are afraid of it, but we are more afraid of it happening to people around us. The greatest fear of death is that it passes us by and leaves us alone.

After Sonia's death, great sadness enveloped Ovi. Fortunately, Ovi was finally understood and loved, and left this world with love and care.

After the funeral, the neighbor's little girl trotted to close the community door instead of Ovi. Ou Wei is gone, but his spirit has influenced the rest of the community in some way. They bring their new selves and try to live every day well.

At the end of the film, Ovi, who died, got her wish and accompanied Sonia. When he woke up, he found himself in the train carriage where he first met Sonia. Sonya, who was no longer young, held out her finger, but he grasped it tacitly, just like Qian Qian did 10,000 times before her death. Life, perfect curtain call, live up to it.

Under the dark and sticky contrast of human nature in westworld, a man named Ovi decided that the simplicity of death is the freshness and warmth that a normal life should have.
