In the world where rural life is cruel and harder, the vibrant river causes
tension in life of inhabitants, newcomers and a beast. The reason
intervene a little as the film expresses thoughts and feelings on broken
bonds between human being and the world of nature, beasts and ghosts.
Waters of life and fertility are amniotic fluids. Without them the Earth
is a dry desert, a land hunger and thirst. In the Greek world, the sources
and rivers are divine from the beginning. In ancient Egypt, water was
also given to the dead to enable them life in the underworld.
Purifying water is practiced in the most diverse types of wash: from
the most mundane and practical to the most sublime in various cults
and rites.
In Ancient Egypt, statues of gods, pharaohs, priests, and the dead
are abundantly watered. Washes are very important as a means
of cleansing, which allows you to participate in worship. A child is
innocence of the past, present and future. The beast, an instinct, a faun,
a ghost of nature. A fish is basic nourishment. Trees are old masters.
