In a house in Anning Village, two people lived. The man is the applicant who chooses to start over because of unforgettable pain and grief. The woman is the inspector, responsible for teaching the man a series of simple things and their uses - what language is, what a name is, how to dress, how to go down the stairs, what actions to take when facing others, and record his healing process. He had forgotten most of these things and had no memory of why he was here. He felt safe in this paradigm of life. During this period, the man's condition recurred many times, and his past cognitions once again invaded his purified brain. When he meets an attractive, emotionally volatile woman at a party, he questions everything he's learned. What is this village for? Why is he here? Has he ever been someone else, and will he truly become the person he is allowed to be?

Between the coast and the sugar cane fields stands an isolated house. Inside the house, nine-year-old Alice Hart was sitting at her desk, planning how to burn her father with fire-the uncertain man who had enveloped the world of Alice and her mother with a haze of violence. When an accident takes the lives of Alice's parents, she is sent to the home of her grandmother, whom she has never met. It is a farm of native Australian flowers and a sanctuary for women only. There, Alice learned to use the language of flowers to heal childhood pain, and to use flowers to express feelings that words could not express. But as Alice grows up, grandma's protection gradually becomes more like imprisonment. Grandma's concealment, betrayal, and a wrong love affair made Alice realize that the language of flowers cannot write her own life for her. She must find the courage to confront loss and pain and tell her own story.

Father and son, on the road. If I have one day left in my life, I hope to take him with me to travel. Along the road, heading north, from City A to City Z, from the wilderness to the ruins, not only allowed him to see the world, but also allowed the world to see him - a cute boy with one more chromosome than "normal people". I used to be a doctor and now I'm a census taker. This is my new identity, or rather, the new identity I share with my son. I have always felt that my son is more suitable for this job because he has a "really blank heart." He sees the world without distracting thoughts; he is not disturbed by desires, and does not understand differences in class, color, and language; he understands the world in a different way from us. So, before I died, I chose to travel with him. I wanted to see the world again through his pure eyes, and I wanted to rethink humanity through the way people treated him. Of course, what I want most is to gather the goodwill in the world and send him warmth for the rest of his life. Send to the stars and say goodbye along the way. Loneliness is inevitable, and so is our love for you.
