Vast desolate and lonely villages, empty mansions and cramped hives. Spilled honey color soaked through the harsh winter. The tension between the real and the illusory inside and outside the screen embodies the different imaginations of young and old about ghosts. Couples who share the same bed and different dreams, sisters with different natures. The ideal of cooling and banishment as punishment. The exiles visit from time to time and the recluses yearn to escape from the same places. Love goes out when letters burn. Believe in traditional empiricism and curiosity beyond existing knowledge. Yearning for strange ghosts beyond the boring body. The quiet and complete rebellion and the resulting horrified innocence lead to a cloudy memory of estrangement and a loneliness that may last a lifetime. Being alive is the whole premise, if not the whole, of blank space. "Your daughter's life is the most important thing." Being alive is the most important thing. future? There is no expectation, even if everyone lives in isolated hives, even at the cost of eternal alienation, indifference and loneliness, at the cost of unknown positivity or panic. Alive, but nothing more. Amazing photography and colors, plot and technical contrasts, metaphors, hints and blanks, even and balanced composition, blurred and hopeless atmosphere... I love almost all the links in this film, they carry something that makes me unable to extricate myself. So much imagination that in the end there is only a vague sense of amazement that lacks detail, but there is no hope in it. Because as long as you are immersed in it, your destiny can only be alienation.
