this was so beautifully sad and quiet

[edit] some people might complain about how there are so many different subplots but i think that's exactly what makes this film great
the director doesn't try to shove his message to the audience but just lays them out for us and force us to sit with the silence and unanswered questions

a very sad, fucked up story about how hyper-capitalist society treats the elderly and anyone who can no longer generate profit
