本片从两个孩子的视角出发，初美以季节更替为线索，初美分四个段落讲述了一个以土耳其小镇为背景的家庭故事。故事第一段展现了一户人家，家中11岁的女儿正是上小学的年纪。她还不习惯面对无情的社会现实以及生活给她的残忍伤害，但她必须学会适应。第二段发生在春天，女孩和小他四岁的弟弟相伴前往玉米地，他们的家人正在那里等着他们。穿越玉米地时，他们似乎体悟到了自然与旷野的神秘。第三段中，这对姐弟目睹了成人世界的复杂与黑暗。最后一段发生在家里，梦境与现实在这里平静地交错。本片以导演的个人回忆与自白为基础，辅以大量自然取景与固定镜头，可看出锡兰标志性的导演风格已初具雏形。 由于过去一段难以磨灭的痛苦经历，一对老夫妇分居已久。阔别多年后，终于有一天，他们再次相见，打算开诚布公地谈一谈，以期时间能够修补情感的裂痕。但是这次本应弥补伤痛的谈话，并没有像他们预期的那样进行。

回复 :In an intensely personal and often surprising film for BBC Two, Depression And Me, Alastair Campbell explores if radical new treatments can stop his depression.Campbell is best known for his role as Tony Blair’s formidable and often contentious spin doctor but, away from the public eye, he has been dogged by crippling bouts of depression for most of his life. Some days, just getting out of bed is too hard. Therapy and anti-depressant medication is helping him keep his head above water - but is that really the best he can hope for?Alastair Campbell says: “I’ve been on antidepressants for years and years and none of them can stop it. I want to understand my depression and find out if modern science has any better ways of treating it. I’m hoping there’s something out there that can help me lead a happier life.“I feel we are nearing a tipping point in the battle to demolish the stigma and taboo surrounding mental illness and TV is a very good medium for bringing these issues right out into the open. I have never regretted being open about my own issues but an important part of this film is also seeing my depression through the eyes of members of my family, especially my partner Fiona. I was also keen to get out there and find out what kind of progress was being made on the scientific and research front. There is a lot going on. My worry is that we are winning the battle for better awareness but losing the battle for the services we need."I was very pleased with the reaction to the film in Sheffield [at Doc/Fest]. One film alone cannot change the world but there is finally the focus on these issues that we need and hopefully one day we will have services to match.”

回复 :I can see people will either love or hate this movie, depending on your own experiences and loves. Its basically about a incredibly obese police officer coming to terms with his own mortality (he is given a year to live at the start of the movie). It has other bits and pieces in the plot (love, mystery etc), but these are not the central ideal of the movie.I found myself crying in many parts of this movie, for myself being fat (and have been my entire life... of course not to the degree of the main actor, but to a degree which has caused bullying my entire life) this story hits very close to home. And some of the subtle emotional behind the scene's stuff here definitely adds to the mood.Anyone who has had any sort of eating disorder (over or under eating whatever) will recognise things in this movie, and will more then likely be in tears by the first 30 minutes of the movie.
