Synopsis:

With a realistic and effective style , and stories full of the force of hard life, the director deals with an everlasting subject matter : the relation between parents and children, and in particular the disobedience of children.
The lucky one is that who dies and finds someone to cry for his death; not the one who cries his painful destiny, after losing the sympathy and tenderness from a child he brought up until he became a man with a family as well. Such a child would forget his parents, neglects them or leave them in an old age hospital, where they wait death within cold walls.
