The film is very intense and dreamlike. We see several women, all of whom are the same woman but in different ways. They go through a series of events that slowly but surely become more and more bizarre. The film ends with a broken mirror, a man and the death of the main character, the woman. The film is covered in symbols that reappear again and again. Here I want to explore the meaning of the symbols in the film and the meaning behind them. Say no to plagiarism.

The flower is picked up from the ground by a woman at the beginning of the film but is also placed on a pillow by a man at the end of the film. Flowers are used in art to represent reproduction and romance, but are also linked to being fragile. The color white, however, is used to show purity and innocence. I believe Maya chooses a white flower to show how women are "supposed" to be: beautiful beings who give birth to children and are in constant need of saving and caring. I have the impression that the woman, the protagonist of the story, picked up the flower she was picking from her own vulnerability as a woman in a world that belongs to men. Throughout the film we see a key. At first the protagonist uses it to open the front door, but in the end the key reappears on the dining table when each woman takes a key for herself. A key is a symbol of freedom, the freedom to come and go as you please, the freedom to open doors and rooms that no one but the key holder has access to. The character is seen several times and is one of the main characters in the film. He is dressed in black and the woman always starts following him trying to catch him but never does. The antagonist sees him through the window and always disappears around the corner but when she stops following him, he appears right in front of her in the bedroom. The figure reminds me of the Grim Reaper, and I think it was deliberate to represent change, killing the old habit. The woman pursuing the character can show that she is seeking change in her own life, trying to change the opinions of society and those of the people around her. The knife is a significant sign. At first, it's bread that comes out on the dining room table. Then he starts appearing in several places, including the bed and in the main characters' hands. A knife is generally a sign of sacrifice and liberation. She uses the knife to kill herself, which could mean she kills herself and is reborn. The mirrors begin to repeat themselves at the end of the film, when the creature reveals itself we can see that instead of a face there is a large mirror. , and on the table above the bed is a small mirror. The face of the creature (which I think represents change) being a mirror could mean that the main character was the change or had to change himself, that society is not going to change on its own. When the mirror above the bed is shown, the man in the film turns it over, signifying that he opposes the change taking place. I believe that Maya deliberately placed all the symbols in the film, so that people would read them and make their own analysis of her work. Keep in mind: this is just a sample.
