The story is simple and plain, with a gentle rhythm and fresh colors. At their father's funeral, the three sisters met their half-sister Asano Ling, fearing that Xiaoling would be bullied by her stepmother, and invited Xiaoling to Kamakura to raise Xiaoling together. They live together in an old house with an independent small courtyard and a beautiful environment. There is a plum tree in the yard, and plum wine is brewed from newly picked plums every year. The plum wine is passed down by my grandmother, as they say, plum wine tastes like my grandmother.

1) The most impressive thing is that there is a plum tree in the yard. This plum tree has been around since the three sisters were young. Every year, plum wine is brewed from newly picked plums, and some of it is distributed to neighbors and friends. The habit of brewing plum wine is a custom left by their grandmother. After her grandmother's death, this custom has been inherited by the three sisters. Just as they said, plum wine smells like grandma. Sisters brew plum wine together, and when the sun is shining in summer, they take the iced plum wine out of the refrigerator. The sour and sweet taste is enough to get rid of the boring summer heat.

2) In shooting, the director always captures the simple and delicate natural life from a bystander's perspective outside the plot, hands over the characters and emotions to the ongoing daily life, and pokes the audience's soft and sensitive hearts through tiny details. Plus Japanese aesthetics, beaches, fireworks, cherry blossoms, green plums, trains and summer courtyards. These beautiful things are creating a simple and healing atmosphere for the film. Documentary and plain perspective and warm and plain pictures bring a story that no longer pays attention to right and wrong, but pays attention to the concrete three-dimensional person under right and wrong. Even if he is a "bad guy", he may be a warm person.

3) The finishing touch of Hai Jie Diary is also a way to deal with the responsibility of the previous generation. Eldest brother Xiaoxing refused the invitation to live in the United States with her lover, and she made a change. The lover finally said to Xiaoxing: "You have taken too much responsibility and been taken away from your childhood. "It is the" healing "prescription that the film found. Get back to childhood, and start from innocent, happy and self-conscious childhood to re-recognize yourself. Get rid of the shadow of "the previous generation" and refuse to recognize relatives with "original sin" by "isolation".
