The film tells the protagonist Victor, in order to fulfill his father's last wish before his death came to the United States, did not expect that on his plane to the United States, his hometown encountered a sudden coup, when he stepped off the plane, he has been in a dilemma, because his passport has lost its utility, Victor has become a person without a country, can not set foot on the territory of the United States, and also because of the expiration of the passport can not fly away from the United States back to the motherland, the dilemma victor can only stay at the airport.
Victor could only wait, for the day when the political situation in his homeland would stabilize and be recognized by the international community again. And in this small waiting hall, Victor felt the taste of life.
The airport was crowded, but Victor felt no warmth, and he lost the support of his country and became the only person on earth who did not belong. He pretended to be in an airport building in a nightgown, he bathed with the faucet of the men's restroom, he cobbled together seats as his bed, and he even worked in the airport building to earn living expenses for himself.
No one understood what he was for, he was just a strange drifter, just an abandoned and forgotten person for a reason that could never have been foreseen. But when he stood in the airport lobby, looking around with his luggage; He didn't know how to pretend to understand, and when he answered the question, he still firmly believed that his country was still there and insisted on his own principles.
And the truth is that when he uses "goats" to solve problems for innocent people, when he leads the red line for his friends again and again in order to get food, when he is willing to let go of his commitments with the future of his friends, we are touched by his kindness.
For his dead father's promise, he fulfilled. The long wait at the airport was to get the autograph of the music master his father adored. He rushed into the snowy City of New York amid the cheers of almost all the staff at the airport, not for the freedom of the American slogan, not for the pursuit of so-called democracy, but for the fulfillment of a promise that should have been fulfilled.
There is a mockery of American-style freedom in the film, and a tourist who travels to the United States for only personal purposes is restricted from all his personal freedom. And he lost so-called democracy under the malicious restrictions of the airport leadership.
The film is a profound reflection of how important it is to have a strong backing. Victor was at the airport because of the language barrier and was unaccompanied. During the time he was detained at the airport, he spent three months quickly learning English and gathering useful knowledge for himself, and thus helping a filial foreign man.
The film tells us that no matter at any time, as long as you do not give up, there will be hope, difficulties are not terrible, and what is terrible is that you do not have the confidence to overcome difficulties.
In the film, the protagonist meets a beautiful flight attendant, and although the two are not together, the protagonist still fulfills his father's last wish and fulfills his promise to his father!
Happiness is defined differently for each person, and the end is the beginning of a journey, and the happiness of the protagonist Victor is waiting for the appearance of Emilia. Waiting for the war in the motherland to be extinguished, embarking on the way home, and at the beginning of the film, the tv broadcasts the picture of Victor's motherland coup, and the panic, sadness, and anxiety in Victor's eyes are really heartbreaking...
Many times people feel that they are unhappy, how unfair they are, but they ignore the happiness around them. When you lose everything, you can feel the presence of happiness.
