When You Finish Saving The World

[Machine Translation] Family is sometimes complicated. But they are also very sweet. A slapstick drama about a family that is at odds with each other. After its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, the film was selected as the opening film for the Critics' Week at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival. The film is the first feature film directed by Jesse Eisenberg, an actor who was nominated for an Academy Award ( R ) for Best Actor in a Leading Role for The Social Network ( 10 ). Based on a five-hour radio drama he created for Audible (Amazon's audiobooks), Jesse also wrote the script. --The story follows Evelyn, a mother who runs a domestic violence shelter, and Ziggy, a high school student who is popular for his live-streaming on the Internet. Evelyn, a mother who dedicates herself to community service, and Ziggy, a high school student popular for his online live-streaming, are now unable to understand each other. But their daily lives are about to undergo a slight change. They are both attracted to the person they want nothing more than to be with, and they continue to run in circles...! The generation gap between parents and children, and the discrepancy between ideals and reality. In depicting themes that are close to everyone's heart, what are the feelings of mother and son toward each other that they arrive at through their respective failures? A heartwarming movie that will make you want to hug someone special after watching it!
