Betty is over 60 years old. She has an old mother who is over 80 years old. She and her old mother run a restaurant together in a Nordic town. Betty’s husband passed away. She and her mother have been dependent on each other for a long time, and they still live in the house where she grew up as a child. Her bedroom is a small room on the top floor.

She runs the restaurant with all her heart, but the business situation is deteriorating. Although she is 60 years old, compared to the immature waiters, she still has her charm, and people who come to eat in the restaurant There were many old men who winked at her, but she was always busy with her business, while the cashier's mother, who wore reading glasses, never took her eyes off her daughter most of the time.

One night she was chatting with her mother and said that her lover was really pitiful and slept with his wife whom she didn’t love every day. However, her mother said that her lover had divorced his wife but was dating a young woman in her 20s. . She didn't believe it and argued with her mother, accusing her mother of not interfering in her affairs. Her mother said, "If I don't tell you, why should I ask the water pipe seller in the village to tell you?"

She returned home sadly. In her own room, she caressed the Maria sticker on the glass and peeled it off little by little. Looking at the street through the small window, she felt infinitely sad. The love she firmly believed in had been defeated by time.

The next day, she was busy in the restaurant as usual, instructing the young chefs in the kitchen not to burn the dishes. The waiter told her that she had received a call to collect the bill and was here again. , she walked out of the back door without saying anything, and the camera kept following her. She got into her old Mercedes-Benz, started it, and drove away, not knowing where she was going.

She drove far along the country road and stopped on the road next to an open green space.

Before she could close the door, she came to the grass on the roadside and stood smoking her last cigarette. She received a call from the store. The waitress asked her where she had been. Her mother came to find her again. He responded by saying that he would be back in a moment and not letting his mother answer the call, so he hung up the phone.

After getting in the car, she wanted to buy cigarettes, so she drove along the road. She passed by a group of girls and asked them where they could sell cigarettes. The girls said that the shops were closed today on Monday, so they could go to another one. She went to a bar in town to buy it, so she drove to the bar, and it was already night when she arrived.

She ordered a bottle of wine at the bar and waited for the young man selling cigarettes to come. A group game was being played in the bar. She had no interest in it and just lowered her head to drink. She did not respond to the old man who chatted with her. A woman about her age invited her to a booth to chat with them. Most of the people in this bar were elderly people in their 60s.

But she was full of energy. She was a little reserved when sitting among a group of women. When they asked Betty where she was from and where she was going, she casually said where she was from and that she was going to a nursing home. My mother passed by here to take a rest. When they asked her why she put her mother in a nursing home so far away, she said, "She likes it there."

The young man selling cigarettes came, and Betty went to the bar to buy some. A pack of cigarettes is quite expensive. She asked, "Why are smuggled cigarettes so expensive?" At this time, another 30-year-old young man started chatting with her. Betty, who was full of wrinkles, did not want to pay attention to him, but the young man walked away from the bar. He went around to her and teased her that another old man could imitate a pig's bray. He also called the old man over and asked him to bray for her. She was amused.

The games in the bar were not over yet. Everyone was having a great time. Betty drank too much. The next day she woke up naked. The young man carefully brought breakfast to her, kissed her feet, and told her what he wanted. Fascinated and in love with her, she asked in surprise what was going on. The man said that you drank too much and cried on me last night. It was the man who imitated pig braying who drove her car and sent them here.

Then the man stood in front of the window and said: Didn’t you escape and go on a trip? And I know you have no destination. Take me with you. I will carry your luggage. We will definitely be together. Very happy, blah blah. . He said her phone kept ringing last night, and Betty asked who it was, and the man said it was your mother.

Betty asked what you told her, and the man said, "I said your daughter is safe, and she has unlimited energy." Betty quickly put on her clothes and went out, and the man chased her behind her. As we drove away, the man kept gesticulating the heart with his upper limbs from behind. He continued to gesticulate the heart with his arms until he lost sight of it.

Betty drove the car to the farm and rested for a while. Her mobile phone was out of battery. She went to a stadium and used a public phone to call the waiter in the store. She said that her mother was looking for her and the police called the police saying that she had been kidnapped. She asked her to tell her mother that she was fine. The waiter said, "Your daughter called and said there was an emergency."

She called the girl who had already contacted her My wife is divorced but I'm still in love with a 20-year-old woman. I still can't get through when I call my lover. I didn’t buy a mobile phone charger, so I had no choice but to drive empty. I borrowed a charger from a fruit stall owner on the roadside, charged it, and made a call to my daughter.

Betty’s daughter had a very bad attitude towards her mother. She raised her son Charlie alone. Her husband went to a small island and did not come back for a long time. She said that she was going to work in another place to make money, so Betty Come and take Charlie to grandpa's house. Grandpa's house is in a remote countryside with no train access. My daughter was very impatient and said, "I know you won't agree, but I have no choice now."

Although my daughter's attitude is extremely bad , Betty still agreed to go to her daughter's house before dark the next day. She asked the specific location of her daughter's house and took a big map to find it. She stopped at a restaurant to eat in the evening and received a debt collection call threatening to call the police and freeze the bank if she didn't pay. She said whatever.

Then I saw a man violently beating a woman to the ground. She stepped forward to stop him and threatened to call the police. The man had a bad attitude and told her to be nosy, so the woman threw away her hand. He also scolded her for being nosy, and the couple walked away arm in arm, scolding her as they walked.

It was raining when Betty came out. She didn’t bring an umbrella. She was walking along the eaves and suddenly started crying. A black security guard with a dog saw her and asked her what was wrong. She said she She was very sad that she suddenly couldn't find her car. The security guard asked her to go into the furniture store to take shelter from the rain. Sitting on the sofa, she talked about her experience and said that her husband choked to death after eating chicken bones.

At that time, the husband was eating with his lover and choked on a chicken bone. When the ambulance arrived, the doctor who rescued him was Betty's lover, and the husband's lover sitting opposite was the doctor's wife.

She smiled and asked the black security guard, "Do you understand? Is it funny?"

After sleeping on the sofa for a night, Betty left the furniture store early the next morning. On the way, she asked an old man if he knew where he could buy cigarettes. The almost 100-year-old man asked her to come into the house and give him some cigarettes. She poured a glass of water and rolled a cigarette for her tremblingly. After waiting for 10 minutes and still not rolling a number, Betty embarrassedly pressed her several times and told him that it didn't need to be complicated or hard to smoke.

When she arrived at her daughter’s house, her daughter had already left. The grandson Charlie who opened the door was not very enthusiastic. The two of them seemed very different. When she went to her daughter’s room, she saw that it was a mess and she wanted to tidy it up. After a while, her grandson Charlie told her that before her mother left, she asked him to tell her that her grandmother was not allowed to touch her things. Betty saw many pictures of children on the wall and asked her grandson if this was you. The 11-year-old Charlie said it wasn't me, it was her mother's childhood.

Betty and her grandson set off immediately. Charlie sat in the passenger seat and sang the song in the headphones silently. After a while, he sang loudly, which Betty found not unpleasant. Charlie helped Betty, who was driving, answer the phone and said it was a French lady who was gathering for a photo shoot. Charlie asked her grandma if it was something like a nude photo calendar, and Betty said it might be.

Betty drove very fast, and Charlie got out of the car and vomited. Later, Charlie refused to continue driving and had to rest for one night on the way. He also called his grandfather and said he would arrive a day late, so the two stayed in a hotel. , the little boy had to turn off all the lights at night to fall asleep, and Betty was used to turning on a light to fall asleep, but her grandson didn't even leave a light in the bathroom for her.

The next day they went to the gas station to refuel and buy food. Betty's credit card was told that it could not be used. She tried several times but it still didn't work. She could only pay for the gas with the remaining money in her wallet. Fee, Charlie couldn't buy the snacks or his beloved glasses. After coming out, Charlie said angrily, "You embarrass me so much." Betty also got angry, "You little bastard, don't get angry with me, there are still 200 kilometers to go." Just send it to me and complete the task. Don't bother me."

Betty went to the bathroom but found that Charlie could not be found when she came out. At this time, her daughter's phone call came and said she wanted to talk to her son. She just He was able to call Charlie to a child who was playing with a dog on the grass, and he also explained to his daughter that the child was disobedient and was playing with the dog for a while before he was beaten.

She was frantically looking for Charlie along the highway. Finally she saw the child walking alone on the edge of the field. She got off the path and found the child and asked him to get in the car. The child screamed, "I don't need you." "But I heard Betty say, "But I need you." The baby softened and walked to the car. Betty added, "Help me look at the map."

After the baby got in the car, Betty hit him before starting the car. Charlie said this to "give you some strength", but to his surprise, Charlie jumped out of the car that had just started. Betty ran after Charlie. The phone rang again. It was her daughter, the child's mother. Betty asked Charlie to answer the phone. Charlie answered the phone, and the mother on the other end asked him something. Betty was nervous and at a loss, but she heard Charlie reply, "Betty is very good to me. She buys me snacks and sunglasses. We get along very well. We are still listening together in the car." Sing"

Betty came to Charlie to show her kindness. She was swinging under a tree. Her grandson said, "I'm so hungry. What should I do?" Betty said she would wait and see if there are any cookie crumbs in the car. She Asked Charlie why he was angry, Charlie said because he liked those sunglasses, but the next second Charlie took out the glasses from his pocket and put them on and started laughing. Betty said, "You little bunny, you actually stole someone else's glasses." The two of them were having fun. .

There were no biscuit crumbs in the car, and Charlie was very hungry. Betty said I have a solution, so Betty came to a luxury hotel and found her good friend. It turned out that Betty She was Miss France 40 years ago, and this time she was invited to attend the 40th anniversary. There was a grand banquet in the evening. Betty was dressed up carefully, and Charlie feasted. Everyone told everyone that his grandmother Betty was the most special and charming woman.

The official shooting took place the next day. A group of women who were old but still charming were dressed up and put on makeup exactly the same as they were 40 years ago. They were posing just like in the photos 40 years ago. Betty was there. After standing by the hotel pool for a long time, my grandson called me over and said that she was the only one who hadn't dressed up yet. Betty stood among the beautiful women.

After a while, the flashbulb illuminated her young self in front of her eyes. Her grandson was happily watching them taking pictures outside the door and was excited. The next second, Betty fainted. Her grandson and her good friend were with her. They went to the hospital together, and the doctor told them that Betty was sick due to too much psychological pressure and could not drive for the time being.

The hospital notified relatives. The grandson couldn't cry anymore. Betty's mother called the landline on the hospital table and cried, "What should I do if you fall down?" Betty explained that I was fine and wanted to hang up the phone to tell the doctor to come in. Well, an old man really pushed the door open and came in. Betty asked him who are you?

The old man said with a livid face, "I am Charlie's grandfather. I came to pick him up at my house. His mother said you can't drive anymore." The grandson said in Betty's ear, "Don't let me go with him. I I want to come with you." Grandpa called to Charlie, but Charlie ignored him and refused to leave. Grandpa is out.

The doctor came in and said to Betty, "It's okay. I told your husband that you can leave the hospital and pay attention to rest."

Betty and Charlie were sitting Carrying grandpa's shabby big JEEPER, she came downstairs to the hotel. When she was going up the stairs, Betty said, "You go with grandpa." Charlie hugged grandma and said, "I won't leave. Didn't you say you wanted to send me to grandpa's house? Now you still can't." Not here yet." He turned back to his grandfather and shouted, "If Betty doesn't leave, I won't leave either."

When grandpa came over, the child cried and said, "Betty doesn't have a penny on her and her health is not good. I won't." Leave her.

"Grandpa put the child on his shoulders, and the child shouted at Betty, "Mom, Betty, Grandma!" The child was thrown into the back seat of the JEEPER and the door locked. Charlie cried and knocked on the glass. Betty ran over and looked at Charlie distressedly, and rushed Go to the angry grandfather standing on the side of the road and say, "You can't leave the child there like a puppy. "The place where grandpa stood was the highland seaside with beautiful scenery.

Betty went back to comfort the child, stop crying and screaming. The child was obedient and made no sound. Betty came to grandpa, "If you don't have time to take care of Charlie, I'll take care of him." Grandpa said, "I took care of him when he was little, so he'll be fine." In the end, Betty left with her grandfather and grandson.

Betty, who was sitting in the passenger seat on the road, talked to her grandfather. Grandpa ignored her and was still livid, and Betty got angry, "Put me at the train station in front of you!" "Charlie said to herself helplessly from behind, "The people in our family just can't talk well."

After passing the train station, grandpa still didn't put her down. She was angry, but after a while the car drove up to a In the village, Grandpa’s campaign poster was posted at the head of the village. Betty said, “Are you running for chairman? "So grandpa finally spoke and talked about the situation of the election campaign.

When they arrived at grandpa's three-story house, the door was full of roses. Charlie started to play with the rabbit in the cage. Betty was playing in the big house. He was looking for things to cook in the kitchen, but Grandpa didn’t know where to put them. Betty asked if such a big kitchen had just been renovated. Grandpa said that his deceased grandma liked to cook, but he didn’t know how to cook anything.

Betty chased her out to ask her grandpa where he had left the tea. Grandpa had already reached the intersection. When he turned around and saw Betty among the rose bushes, she was stunned for a moment and left without saying anything.

Two days later, all the supporters of Grandpa’s group came to the yard to chat and eat. Betty was busy in the kitchen. Betty’s daughter suddenly came back. She saw her son happily hugging her. The child turned around and saw Betty who was cooking in the window, but she looked hostile and said nothing and asked why she was wearing my scarf. Betty said that Charlie gave it to her.

My daughter came to the kitchen and heard Betty. When she was chatting with her grandfather about her father's death, she rushed in and interrupted her, "Are you joking about your father's death again? You never loved your father or me." Everyone in the yard heard the news from the kitchen. During the quarrel, the daughter continued, "You are a selfish person who only thinks about yourself and your lover. You deserve to be abandoned and run away now!" Now we are still having sex in someone else’s kitchen! ”

Betty lowered her head and said nothing after being criticized by her daughter. The grandfather scolded his daughter-in-law, “If you don’t want to stay here, leave immediately.” The daughter went out angrily and pulled her son to leave. They were talking to her. Charlie, a little girl playing next door, couldn't leave for some reason, and she fought hard with her mother. Her mother dragged her to the intersection.

Suddenly, Betty's 80-year-old mother, her daughter's grandmother, appeared at the intersection. The daughter calmed down and hugged her grandma with a smile. It was the waitress who sent her grandma away. The daughter didn't leave to chat with her grandma. She asked her grandma how she came here. The old grandma said, "The restaurant has been taken over by the country. Your mother doesn't know yet. Now she has." Nothing left. ”

With the arrival of grandma, the pleasant atmosphere in the yard was restored. The men were discussing the election enthusiastically, and the women were chatting around the grandma about their family affairs. Betty was cautious. The mother brought steak for her mother and daughter to eat. Charlie nestled in his mother's arms with infinite tenderness. After a while, Betty sat down. Grandpa stared at her in panic. The daughter's heart was moved when she saw her son lying on her grandma's shoulders and acting coquettishly.

After dinner, Betty was washing the dishes in the kitchen when her daughter walked in, "Do you know that the restaurant was repossessed by the state? "Betty's working hands froze. Her daughter told her about the restaurant. Betty sat down and kicked the drawer in with her feet, while saying, "I am an unlucky person and a despicable and hateful person."

Her daughter sat next to her and rested her head on her shoulder. She held her daughter's hair, and her daughter burst into tears. Charlie and the little girl were playing games in the RV in the woods outside the yard. Grandma was still talking and laughing with them in the yard. .

In the evening, people sat together in the courtyard drinking tea and waiting for the election results. After a while, an uncle came over and said that the other party was ahead by more than ten votes. After a while, he came over and said that the other party won by more than twenty votes. Betty looked at her grandfather's reaction. Unexpectedly, her grandfather didn't care about the result but looked at Betty, wondering what she thought of the result. Betty looked away nervously.

When the crowd dispersed in the evening, Betty sat on a chair in the yard, and grandpa leaned on the rose stair railing. Grandpa said, "The election failed." Betty said, "I have nothing, no, I still have it." "My mother," Grandpa said, "You still have your little restaurant." Betty stood up and was going upstairs to pass Grandpa. Grandpa took her hand and kissed her. Mom called Betty upstairs.

Grandpa took 60-year-old Betty to the RV and they spent a pleasant night. When the morning light rises in the morning, the two of them are infinitely tender and unwilling to wake up. They talk about their future life and look forward to the beauty.

Charlie and the little girl ran away from the RV, chasing and playing happily in the sunshine.
