The central theme of the film revolves around the exploration of love, weaving through different generations and diverse social groups. It sheds light on the individual journeys of each character as they navigate the challenges of life.
The two brothers, in their youth and curiosity, search for love, primarily through physical desires. The young girl is attracted by the purity of these boys but wants to be desired for her essence as a person. For the mother, love is a source of hope, while for the man, it becomes a means of asserting control.
The bond shared by the two brothers was what struck me the most. Due to their challenging social circumstances, they lived very close to each other and at times felt like two halves of one person. I loved how they would often glance at each other and smile, as though they understood each other's thoughts at any given moment. Despite the tragic nature of the movie, they were always surrounded by a certain optimism that is infectious to the viewer. It is why I left the movie moved and with a feeling of optimism.
