“The film is based on little things on the moments of life where people meet each other, where people hurt each other, where people on opposite sides suddenly have a moment of closeness. Those moments look small, but they can be terribly important. Like when Daddy says to his young daughter, who’s bringing him a little poem she wrote, ‘Go to bed.’ It may seem like nothing, but for her it’s a terrible rejection; it’s like murder. The film is full of moments like that, little murders which we—not just the characters—always do in our lives.” In an article.
