Plot summary:

When people have no choice in life, they can only change themselves to adapt. Emily is a "fallen" rock star, and for this reason her parents-in-law take her son away to avoid her bad influence. She is determined to take back her son who is far away from her. To achieve this, she must "clean up," leave drugs and start a new life. The movie stars Maggie Cheung, and her appearance is surprising, probably because the audience has become accustomed to her noble temperament over the years. The director is Olivier Assayas. I believe that the title of Maggie Cheung's ex-husband is more suitable for Chinese people to understand this French director than famous director, editor of Cahiers du Cinema, etc. He was twice named in 2000 and 2002. Nominated for the Cannes Film Festival, but received no results. Today's Cannes is becoming more and more international, and the number of local French films is decreasing year by year. It is not easy for Assayas to be shortlisted for the third time.

Letting go at the right time can make love last longer and be more beautiful. The mother-child relationship is only a small part of this four-story movie, but what kind of love is not love, and what kind of separation is not sad?

The last movie, for all the friends whose mothers are not around...
