strong images and silences punctuated by sparse dialogues
The total absence of explanation allows the viewer to create his/her own story, a magnificent present, but difficult to carry out. See mine below.
Beware: spoilers ahead!
My story. An island serves as a prison for a group of women. They are all the same age and do not grow old. Each woman has a boy to fulfill her maternal desires. The boys are all the same age, but are human, thus growing old. For that reason, they must be constantly medicated and operated to prevent them from reaching puberty. The nurse who takes care of the young Nicolas bonds with him and helps him to escape.
The sea – the magnificent images sharply contrast with the colorless and lifeless prison-island – represents the living world to which Nicolas belongs.
