David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.

感觉是一部很难得的电影。电影有时候是在反映一个社会的现状，只有说社会发展到这个阶段了，才能看到这个阶段的矛盾。能看到这样的很好地呈现同性家庭养育的孩子、夫夫多年关系之后可能的分离状态、孩子在这个夫夫过程当中会经历的伤痛，以及同性伴侣与孩子生育母亲关系真的是很感谢和珍惜。

一部关照现实的童话集，用最温暖的画风去书写最平凡的故事。最喜欢的短片是《小火车》，阖家欢乐的幸福与背井离乡的酸楚，共同构成了这部以农民工及子女为主角的动画。其他短片也是如此，不管是公交司机、糖水老伯还是农村奶奶、餐厅父母，都是生活中最平凡之人，其中的川渝方言、广东方言与河南方言也是最熟悉亲近的语言。
短片的体量丰富了视觉介质，大部分短片在结局时都制造了对动画与现实的指涉。比较喜欢《萤火虫》、《小火车》、《哼哈二将》。
都是小人物的生活，看着好温暖，尤其在这几年的艰难时世，给人光明和力量
平凡，质朴，温暖。喜欢广东粥铺，河南乡村，四川小店这三个故事。
改编自绘本，特别走心的七个动画短片。最喜欢《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，让人想起隐秘而模糊的童年深处的记忆，对隔代的老一辈总有说不出来的深情。第二喜欢《蒯老伯的糖水铺》，一碗芝麻糊串联起几代人的温暖，一间糖水铺成为一个城市的温度，再渺小的火种都足以点亮一隅，成为明亮那方的所在。
6/10 因为费那奇知道的这部动画 不过比起在费那奇看的，这部的选片和内容也都更大众（落俗）些。最喜欢《蒯老伯的糖水铺》《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》《翼娃子的周日》。我就希望老了可以开一个像蒯老伯糖水铺这样的店，佛系经营，不求赚钱，只求打发时间，还是接触到社会；只做夜宵档也会接触不同社会层级的人。理想的晚年生活😬😬
不同的创作者，不同的画风，构成一本婉婉到来的童话书，喜欢这些温暖的故事们。
虽然有点狗血，但是我喜欢这种对于同性婚姻生活的探讨。
合家欢的喜剧，意大利人总是不缺drama十足的编剧，从dy儿子的视角去探讨同性的亲密关系，几乎涵盖了同志伴侣婚姻合法化之后的所有问题，但不具有代表性，最后的结局更有点说教意味…Paul那个男主演的很好，有一句话印象深刻，“谁也不比谁幸福多少”…
萤火虫女孩，温情聊斋，年轻人去了山那边不回来了3/5
篇幅到这里就差不多，再多也就空洞了。
四星，多一星给大屏幕上能看到这样电影的珍贵，这样淡淡的、生活的、是飞扬的也是温暖的小故事们。最喜欢老伯的糖水屋和最后一个。
影像风格很有创意跟想法，画风个人挺喜欢的，很治愈系。
#艺联2021冬暖影展 糖水老爷爷那段好喜欢55
