It is a mad world ... and for some it is even madder. Some people seem not to be able to catch a break. This movie is about outsiders who have issues to stay sane. And who can blame them? If you are into dramas and like slow paced genuinely story telling with some good acting to boast with too, look no further. While this is not for everyone, those who are into it, will love the reality of it all, the gravitas the movie bathes in.
Again you may feel this isn't something worth watching and that is ok. If you'd rather watch something that is quite far away from reality that is more than fine. Just don't blame this movie for being the opposite. If this isn't your kind of deal, just don't watch it.

A film that reflects reality
A film that reflects reality. Even though the treatment of mental disorders has improved significantly, they still face their own past and social exclusion. If they can not get out, they will inevitably be forced back to the corner. In the first two-thirds of the movie, the perspective is limited to father and son. When the relationship between father and son improves, the former fiancee suddenly throws the protagonist back to hell, and the neighbor's exclusion brings the tone of the whole movie back to the tragedy of realism. This arrangement undoubtedly highlights the conflict of the drama, but the contrast is too large, which actually harms the plot.
