At first, this story seems light-hearted, but it gradually takes a darker turn as it unfolds. At its core, it is about human acceptance, examining love, emotion, trauma, and the lasting weight of the past. The only thing keeping the main character going is his love for his daughter. Without her, he might have given up altogether. Although the story is set in the 1960s, the protagonist often reflects on his experiences during the Second World War, especially the tragedy of losing his wife, who was murdered by the Nazis in occupied France.
