Far from being merely a collection of fragmented memories and fantasized images, dreams serve as a powerful medium, delving into the roots of the unconscious and the way in which the mourning of a loved one after a tragic event unfolds behind the surface of reality. The essence of the film lies in pure sensation: the powerlessness seen and felt in the face of Apolline's illness, the feeling of being both distant and close to her at the same time, the ever-present filiation in spite of death, and finally the love and faith in life that inspires the protagonist regardless of this tragic event, which remains and will remain forever beyond his reach.
