The widespread characteristic of the movie belongs to that period of everyone’s life before we are shaped to integrate within societies’ rules and its culture of behaviour. The movie transcends the pure feeling of adventure that very so often is reminiscent by everyone who’s routine took over their life. This perpetual sense of adventure, like a pandemic of pure joy, spreads though the movie and swallows all emotions. 

Until a different reality is experienced while unconscious and dreaming. Then you find yourself in a scenario taken from a traditional manual of repressed unconscious fears. Which manifest themselves in surreal and panic induced actions.

At the same time a physical limitation literally obfuscates the spacial awareness of Ava, the main character. While this becomes more unavoidable, there are no glimpses or lack of self determination in continuing the performance of an uncensored venture. Nonetheless this physical restriction nurtures  a type of reasoned impulsiveness. And brings out an urgent survival instinct by pushing the boundaries to extreme situations. There is a contrasting sense that the thrill of surviving comes from an unrecognised idea of romanticism which seems to be regarded as irrelevant. Perhaps because the romantic encounter coincides with an uncensored feeling of carpe diem. The sense of adventure takes you for a ride with an infused instinct of a trained solder and the freedom of a virus. 

Enjoy.
