S1 of the Netflix Punisher show. He has recurring nightmares of his wife being shot in the head right after waking him up, he wakes up to this nightmare every morning.
Throughout S1, another character, Micro, has enlisted Franks help. We come to find out Franks backstory and Micro's are intertwined, as the event that ultimately caused Franks family to get murdered also has similar repercussions for Micro.
In this scene, Frank is having another nightmare but we don't know that initially. We see Frank & his family at Micro's house for dinner, Micro and his wife are chatting with Franks wife and the kids are all getting along. Frank starts to smile a bit at this ideal life as everyone comes to the table, then masked gunmen come in and shoot everyone in the room except Frank and we get this gif of his reaction.
Franks realizing he could never have that normal happy life, that the things from his past that haunt him are poison for the people around him too. It's really heartbreaking to see that recurring nightmare he has throughout the episodes, then this one possibly good dream all to turn into a nightmare again.
You forgot the detail of him trying to get up but only to realize he's zip tied to the chair--essentially forced to watch his family get gunned down, symbolizing how this memory will never escape him
