Seven years have passed, and not a day goes by without Roy missing her daughter. She came to this small English county again and was employed as a teacher by an aristocratic family. She learned from the mouth of the maid that Louisa, the girl of this family, was bought from a gypsy by the male owner Charlie six years ago. Many years ago, Charlie's wife Jenny became a vegetable because of a car accident, and it is Jenny's sister constance who has been helping Charlie take care of the family. However, when they first met, she found Louisa cold, withdrawn and uneducated, and shut herself up in a pavilion in the middle of the lake all day.
Charlie is back. When he recognized the new female teacher as Roy who lived with him seven years ago, he was immediately shocked and determined to fire her. However, constance said that it is customary to let a female teacher work for one month before she can be dismissed, otherwise it would be unfair to her. Charlie has no relatives, so he can only take her in for the time being. Ruthless and ignorant Louisa slammed the dining method on the door and threatened Roy with murder and death. However, Roy didn't flinch at all, but gradually influenced her with knowledge and love. Finally, she is willing to communicate with Roy.
One day, Roy and Louisa were sitting in front of the fire and chatting. She found that Louisa had a virtual mother in her heart. She has always longed for maternal love, which also aroused Roy's nostalgia for those three nights seven years ago. She inadvertently told Louisa the metaphor of fire. She said, "firelight, let time stop. After turning off the lights, you can do anything without following the rules. You can say anything. But when the light came on again, time began again. I have forgotten everything I have done and said, as if it had never happened. " These words, which expressed the faint sadness in her heart, were told to Charlie by Louisa, and the blazing fire seemed to ignite in his heart again. That night, he kept Roy and the fire ignited them again.
On an extremely cold day, Charlie finally sold the building. That night, Charlie went to his wife's room alone, told her about the difficulties of life, and made a final choice: he put out the fire, opened the window, pulled off the blanket covering his wife, and knelt before her bed, crying and praying to God: Please bless my beloved wife: the next day, Jenny died. Constance knew it was Charlie, but she understood him deeply. After the funeral, kind constance said to Roy, I could have made him happy. Now please love him for me.
On a foggy morning, Charlie and Roy took Louisa to say goodbye to their old house and left this small English town forever.
This is a very beautiful story about desire. The beautiful and melancholy British sky, the fairyland-like small building in the middle of the lake and the charming Sophie Marceau are all reasons why this film is worth seeing. We don't need to delve into whether there are illogical places in the story (obviously there are many). In short, at least one thing in the story is moving: Will. Primitive desires are scattered around, like octopus or tree roots, which are not easy to appreciate, although they may be tough; After the baptism of the will, the desire is dignified, and the dignified desire can complete the appreciated love story. Sophie Marceau waited for the happiness of her dreams as nobly as Jane Eyre. I believe that people at different stages of life will like these two somewhat similar stories.
