A visual flow of its intentions replaces any verbal exchanges in the film. It portrays its world simply by way of what is happening to the characters, which is silently coupled with the constant presence of the metaphor that the title offers. Cramped, closed indoor spaces are first employed to suggest a sense of oppressive isolation both a man and a woman are separately dealing with. This would serve as a contrast eventually at the film’s conclusion when it presents its primary message to you.<br><br>

There is also the attempt to portray how lonely and overwhelming existence can be if your mind chooses to withdraw to its own dark recesses, drowning in its own internal noise. The film presents all of these ideas, while keeping the narrative concise and brisk. Events continue to develop in a fast-paced manner, allowing it to avoid a didactic, overbearing tone. <br><br>

Kindness and hope are two sentiments one would like to see in a film that deals with a dark subject matter of this kind, and it is indeed these that the story offers as the overarching thread that finally takes it home. This, in turn, also allows for the metaphor established in the title, to attain articulation in a simple, but complete manner.
