The story started from a suicide case: the unemployed and depressed single father hanged himself at home one shiny morning. His teenage son, who worked as a ragpicker every day after school, discovered the dead body when he came back to home to prepare dinner. The boy could not ease his father down and did not know what he should do. He finally chose to finish his dinner before calling the police. The only reason he had given was that he was hungry and he understood he had no time to eat when the police arrived. The story started with the father’s suicide, then traces back to his life just before his suicide and how his son lives ever after. The death of the father added the dramatic weight to the story, but it was not the main focus of it. What we were really concerned with were the people around this tragedy. There was no one to blame, but the atmosphere around us is thick, how do we breathe in it, how to deal with the indifference deep inside?
