The film can be divided into two parallel stories with space as the boundary, with the officials of the general command passing the buck and playing games with each other, and the soldiers and terrorists on the battlefield carrying out a long struggle for humanity around the life of the little girl. The director makes this battlefield struggle driven by the external situation of the General Command, creating a depressing and tense multi-person debate scene, and this tension between the officials’ game drives the story line of the battlefield to further escalate, and the two scenes affect each other, eventually forming an emotional resonance and leading the film to the climax of the main theme.
