The film tells the story from the point of view of two layers; a literal layer and a metaphoric layer. The literal layer is straight forward: Ana Maria finds out that she is pregnant, gets on the phone with her husband, and eventually experiences his death due to a dramatic car accident. The metaphoric layer exposes their love by infusing existential meaning interlaced with paradigms from art, science, and philosophy. Art signals the connotations behind the intellectual symbolism presented aesthetically, science supports the comparison between the fundamental structure of light and love as a traveling energy, philosophy manifests the true colors of the following question: What does it mean to be human?
