Although Audrey is very good, she still has a lot of inferiority, which makes her have to consider whether she can take responsibility for the new life in her belly.
The reason for Audrey's inferiority comes from her mother Martin.
The relationship between mother and daughter is not harmonious, and even some strangers.
Martin's indifference once made Audrey unable to communicate with her, which made Audrey unable to get close to her mother even after adulthood, and the two were very nervous and awkward when they got along.
By chance, Audrey picked up a diary, which was her grandmother's.
When Audrey carefully flipped through the diary, she realized that her grandmother was not the woman who had mysteriously disappeared from her husband and son.
Audrey's grandmother had a happy life in her time, a harmonious family, a rich life, but her grandmother was not happy.
It all stemmed from the discrimination against women in the system at the time—banks even stipulated that women could not have their own segregated accounts.
Audrey's grandmother, living in the envy of her own life, desperately desires to have her own account (that is, equal rights for women).
The limitations of life allowed the woman to sit on the beach, but she was not satisfied or compromised, and one day she decided to leave here to follow her freedom. In this way, she mysteriously disappeared.
However, from her mother's later narration, Audrey pieced together the truth: the woman who wanted to fly away had already died at the gun of her angry husband, her maternal grandfather, who killed her grandmother with her own hands.
The mother's cold personality has also been cultivated since then, and the changes in the family and many thoughts have made the mother desperately pursue independence and freedom, and to demand Audrey, which has also caused tension in the relationship between mother and daughter and Audrey's confusion about freedom and resistance.
And when all the truth surfaced, Audrey finally understood how courageous independence and freedom, struggle and challenge, were for women, and the mother was no longer as elusive as the old days...
What to watch: three generations of women, pursuing freedom, getting freedom, questioning freedom.

Yet Adele never gave up. Finally, on a very ordinary day, Adele announced that she was leaving this dull hometown and going to the big city of her dreams to break out of her own world and bravely pursue her dreams.

"Mother-Daughter Love"
Douban score: 7.2
Recommended reason: Romantic and complicated adolescence.
Synopsis: Lola is a cute-looking little girl, but she is now in a puberty that is not ordinary at all.
In her 10s, she felt that her life was interesting but chaotic, and her half-hearted boyfriend and unpredictable friendships caught Lola a little off guard.
However, what gives Lola even more a headache is her own mother Anna (French Rose Sophie Marceau officially appeared).
After entering puberty, Lola can clearly feel that there is a generation gap between herself and her mother, and the contradictions have increased sharply, and she cannot cope with it at all.
As a mother, Anna Yi naturally feels this, and in the face of her adolescent daughter, she can also feel that Lola is trying to prove that she has grown up in various ways, such as clothing hairstyles and makeup (which is what we commonly call non-mainstream killing Matt), and her daughter's eagerness to try sex.
However, Anna is also facing her daughter's adolescence for the first time, she does not know what she has to do to protect her daughter, her adolescence has also been rebellious, for sex, she has always been a free attitude, but when facing Lola, Anna can not bring this point of view to her daughter anyway.
Fortunately, things always turn around.
In the chaotic youth, Anna finally joined Lola's world.
She began to try to talk to her daughter about everything, about life, about friends, about topics that seemed taboo.
In the process, Anna also discovered that Lola's now is her former adolescent self, and what they experience is fundamentally no different...
All adults were once children, and what they looked childish in their youth is exactly what they have done to prove their growth.
Anna and Lola spent a wonderful and romantic adolescence together.
What to watch: Does anyone remember Sophie Marceau's beautiful first love face in "First Kiss"?! This magnificent French rose has not been invaded by the years, even decades later, it is still beautiful, and she adds a lot of fun to the film by the vivid performance of a mother who is busy with her daughter's adolescence, but is very smart.
Big fun nagging
"Hello, Li Huanying" tells us the power of maternal love, and the previous films about mother and daughter, some talk about struggle, some talk about reconciliation, some talk about pathology, but in any case, all the films are telling us how much a mother has a great influence on her children, and this power from the original family makes us guide every step of our growth.
