It can be said that, unlike other suspense films, this film has a serious sense of confusion in its timeline, space, etc.
Anthony asked: "Have you heard from her? I don't understand why she hasn't contacted us, never. She is a dazzling girl, a painter. Look, very beautiful, isn't she?"
He pointed to a painting on the wall. The camera showed a close-up of the painting.
There is a common park scene in the painting, a big tree, and a couple walking hand in hand under the shade of the tree.
Laura replied: "Yes, it is..."
Anthony: "Your whiskey."
They clinked glasses and drank separately.
Anthony said: "I would give everything for a glass of whiskey, would you?"
Laura: "Well, I don't have that much..."
Anthony asked: "Really? What do you do?"
Laura looked at Anne hesitantly, unsure of how to answer.
Laura thought for a while and then said: "Well, I...I take care of...other people."
Anthony wondered: "Others?"
Laura nodded: "Yes, my job is to help other people in need."
Anthony: "Sounds like one of those girls you've been trying to dump me for."
He turned back to Laura.
Anthony: "It must be a difficult job, isn't it? You have to deal with some..."
He made a face, alluding to the patient.
Anthony: "Am I right? I can't stand this."
Laura asked back: "What about you, what is your job?"
Anthony: "I'm a dancer."
However, Anne said that Anthony was an engineer, which he obviously forgot again.
He still said that what he is best at is tap dancing!
Laura was also obviously a little surprised: “Really?”
Anthony said proudly: "You seem surprised."
Laura laughed: "Yes, a little."
Anthony wondered: "Why? You didn't think I was a tap dancer?"
Anthony said with certainty: "Yes, they are very similar."
Annie shrugged: "Maybe."
Laura was still laughing, and Anthony came towards her.
Anthony looked at her and said, "She also loves to smile so silly."
Everyone stopped smiling, and there was an awkward silence.
Anthony suddenly burst into laughter: "Are you fooled by me? Haha."
After another brief silence, Anthony suddenly became serious and gloomy, as if he had been pretending before.
Anthony: "Look, it's a very simple situation. I've been living in this apartment...oh, a long time. I have a deep affection for this place, I bought it thirty years ago
.Can you imagine? You weren't born yet, and this was a big apartment, and my daughter was very interested in it."
Annie frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Anthony: "Let me explain, my daughter thought I couldn't live on my own, so she moved in with me, and she brought this man with her whom she had just met after the divorce. This man led her astray. I
I have to tell you."
Annie couldn't help but interrupt: "Stop, what are you talking about, Dad?"
Anthony ignored it: "Now she wants me to believe that I can't live alone, and the next step is to send me to who knows where... Obviously, if you want to get my apartment, this is
The most effective way.”
Annie was a little angry: "Dad..."
Anthony: "But I'm telling you, that's not going to happen. I have no plans to leave just yet. Yeah, listen up. I plan to outlive you, outlast both of you, and yeah, well, I don't
Knowing you...but, I know my daughter. I should emphasize that I will carry on her legacy, not the other way around. At her funeral, I will give a brief speech to tell everyone that she was
How ruthless and forceful.”
Anne sighed: "I'm sorry about that."
Anthony asked: "Why? She can understand it completely. You are the one who doesn't understand."
He turned to look at Laura.
Anthony: "I've been explaining to her for months that I can do it on my own, but she won't listen. I don't need any help from anyone and won't leave my apartment. All I need is for everyone to get out!"
"
He drank the wine in the glass, took out a banknote from his pocket and threw it on the table, as if paying the bill.
Anthony: "I'm glad I'm done and I'll leave you."
He left the room.
But he obviously didn't know that he was living in his daughter's house. He may have thought that his daughter had moved into his apartment.
Laura: "You said he has his temper, you're not kidding..."
Anne looked particularly depressed: "I'm sorry."
Laura shook her head: "Don't be sorry, this reaction is normal."
There were tears in her eyes, obviously deeply affected by the deterioration of her father's condition and the malice in his words.
Laura tried to comfort her: "Everything will be fine!"
But when Anne asked: "Do you think so?"
Laura took a sip of wine, but was unable to answer the question.
Because she didn't know, or in other words, she knew that her words were just comfort.
At night, Anne stayed alone in the kitchen. It was already very late. She took a sip of herbal tea and looked very tired. After drinking the tea, she washed the cup by the sink. Then, she wanted to dry the cup, but the cup slipped from her hands.
, smashed to the ground.
She picked up the pieces on the ground, and then she was caught off guard. A certain line of defense in her heart collapsed and she started crying. She only cried for a minute before she controlled her emotions. She threw the broken pieces of porcelain into the trash can and left the kitchen.
She walked down the corridor and turned off the lights when she passed the dining room, as if she was planning to go to bed. She walked into her father's room to see if he was asleep, just like checking on a child, and the lights in the room were still on.
She sat on the edge of the bed. There was a strange atmosphere. Anthony was sleeping quietly. She looked at him with a smile, as if she was touched.
She stretched one hand towards his cheek, as if to touch him. Her hand slid towards Anthony's throat. Her heart seemed to be rising and falling. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed her father's throat.
The camera switches to a distant view.
The audience could watch her strangle her father's neck for a while.
This scene is honestly a bit scary, but in fact, at this moment, no one really thinks that what they see in front of them is real.
Maybe this was just a thought in Anne's mind. When she collapsed, she might have thought that she might as well end his life.
The camera switches again, it's daytime, inside the living room.
Paul's voice came: "How?"
Anne was standing there in a daze. She was startled for a moment, and then came back to her senses. She was setting the table in the restaurant. She turned to Paul, who had his back to her, and just asked her a question.
Annie: "What?"
Paul: "Did things go well?"
At this time, Paul was different from the previous Paul. He was a man about 50 years old. Unlike other men, he did not have any domineering attitude. On the contrary, he looked gentle and considerate. Obviously this apartment was
His home is shared by him and Anne.
Anne: "Hmm? Yes, yes...I think so. She said she would start work tomorrow."
Paul: "Come here?"
Annie: "Yes."
Paul: "Very good."
Annie: "Yeah, we'll see how it goes on the first day. I was worried that it wouldn't work, but in the end it was okay. He's very cute."
Paul: "You can do it, you see."
Annie set the dinner plate.
Anne: "He showed her his charm...if you could only see...he said he used to be a dancer, a tap dancer."
Paul smiled: "No?"
Annie also laughed: "Well, she smiled very happily. It was not a mockery, you understand, she is a kind person. I was relieved. I don't know how to describe it to you. It seemed that she could...
Well, it seems like they can get along well!"
Anne tried to control her emotions. After a moment of silence, she added: "He said she reminded him of Lucy."
Paul: "Oh, really? How old is she?"
Annie shook her head: "I don't know, 30 years old, almost."
Paul asked curiously: "Is she good-looking?"
Annie was suspicious: "Why do you ask that? Are you interested in her?"
Paul didn't understand why she reacted like this, and Anne went into the kitchen to check the oven.
In the kitchen, Annie opened the oven. There was chicken roasting inside. She burned herself and suddenly became anxious. At this time, Paul came over.
Paul asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? If everything goes well, that's good news, isn't it?"
Annie was still a little distracted: "Yes, yes."
Paul: "Then what's wrong with you? Tell me."
Anne didn't know either: "It's just... I bought dinner just now and he didn't recognize me. I... I don't know. This was a blow to me. I feel so difficult!"
"
Paul opened his hands: "Come, let me hug you."
Anne: "I could tell from his eyes that he didn't recognize me and had no impression at all. I was like a stranger to him."
Paul: "You have to get used to this."
Anne said with some frustration: "I can't do it."
Paul: "I think you can, you're handling it well. Come here..."
He hugged her tightly. Suddenly, Anthony appeared and Anne withdrew from Paul's arms.
Annie: "Ah, Dad! Dinner will be ready in five minutes. Do you think this time is okay?"
Anthony: "Very good, dear. Just the right time, just right, but hello."
Paul, distracted, smiled at him and walked back into the living room with a bottle of wine, leaving the two of them alone.
Anthony had no idea who Paul was. In his opinion, this was the first time they had met.
Annie asked: "Are you hungry, Dad?"
Anthony: "Yes, yes, but... do we have any guests tonight?"
Anne was confused: "No, why do you ask?"
Anthony didn't want Anne to notice his confusion, so he even said it was nothing.
Anthony walked toward the living room. He looked at Paul from a distance. Paul was sitting in an armchair drinking wine and reading a newspaper. Anthony was a little confused about what was going on, and Paul caught him looking at himself.
Paul: "Is everything okay? How are you doing today?"
Anthony shrugged, he seemed a little distracted, and Anne appeared.
Anne said: "Very good, Laura is here, isn't it, Dad? Laura just came over to meet us."
Anthony looked confused: "Who?"
Apparently he forgot again!
At this moment, many viewers understood that Anthony had forgotten again. Forgetting was one aspect, and even many times, he would suffer from memory confusion.
At this time Anthony noticed Paul's watch. He was attracted to it.
Apparently he was wondering if it was his piece.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anne patiently told him about Laura, the woman who just came here. Unfortunately, Anthony wanted to find his watch again.
Annie: "You must have put it in your closet, don't you think? Where you hide your things..."
Anthony trembled, fearing that Paul would hear the word "closet" and discover where he hid his things.
Anthony: "What are you talking about, Annie? I really don't know what you're talking about. What closet? Um? There's no closet, no closet."
He pulled Annie aside.
Anthony whispered warily: "Can't you be more cautious?"
Anne lowered her voice: "Did you look in your closet?"
Anthony shook his head: "I just looked for it there, and it's not there. I must have left it somewhere, or else it was stolen."
Annie: "No, no one stole it."
Anthony got angry: "What do you mean, 'No, no one stole it'? That watch must be somewhere! It couldn't have flown by itself!"
Anne: "Do you need me to go take a look?"
Anthony: "It's very necessary, if it's not troublesome. Because this is an annoying thing, it bothers me a lot. All my things are being lost, and everyone is taking advantage of them. If this continues, I will have nothing, and I won't even have time.
have no idea."
Although this sentence sounds like nothing, everyone suddenly understood why Anthony had been having trouble with the watch. He kept looking for the watch and kept saying it was stolen.
Because he can't even tell time now. He tries hard to retain and understand time, but he always loses it, or can't tell time!
Just like a watch that is often hard to find!
Annie smiled at him and walked to the bathroom.
Anthony returned to the living room. Paul did not look at him, but was still reading the newspaper. Anthony wanted to attract his attention.
Anthony asked: "Do you know the time?"
Paul glanced at his watch.
Paul: "It's almost 7 o'clock."
Anthony: "So late? Should we have dinner?"
Paul: "Yes, eat it when the chicken is cooked. There are still five minutes left."
Anthony asked: "Shall we have chicken tonight?"
Paul: "Yes, Annie just bought it."
Anthony gave him a bright smile and sat down next to Paul.
Anthony hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your watch is very beautiful. It is... very beautiful. Is this... yours? I mean, is this your watch?"
