Honestly, the only thing I could understand about the movie was that time didn't pass in the same way in the sanatorium and that the main character enters a personal time-trip in search of his father. The production is stunning, the characters design as well, the scenery is psychedelically haunting, the story and theme promises a lot, but at the end it's a continuous puzzle that never explains itself. I did not finish the movie, I watched hour and a half with a friend and as the movie developed we were more and more clueless. I don't get why a director would want their audience not to understand a shit until the end of the movie. Or It's a huge appeal to patience. Or it might be that's just a story to be watched without having to understand more than the main character personal trip.
