Different lives. Different experiences. Different perspectives. Different desires. Different answers. Same house. Same world. Different realities. impactful without ever becoming extreme. Every character is simply trying to understand themselves with the perspective they have at that moment. The daughter mistakes desire for love. The mother leaves only to realize the grass is the exact same hue of green. The father keeps confronting a life he never fully let go of. And Yang-Yang, in his innocence, ends up understanding more than most of the adults around him. It’s a family film in the truest sense. Not because it’s made for families, but because it shows that even the people living under the same roof are each carrying an entirely different world inside them.
