The almost chatty dialogue and the soothing rhythm are exactly the focus of the film's expression: almost all dialogues convey some kind of philosophical thinking, and every moment the rhythm advances, there are reflections. If we still have a kind of trust and awe in philosophy, then when we watch "Hibernation", we will have a kind of respect for the connotation contained in the whole film. Rather than saying that the protagonist Aydin is endlessly outputting his own set of philosophies, it is better to say that he is alleviating his inner loneliness through expression and finding himself through communication. He often talks about morality and conscience, and respects philosophical traditions that are almost old-fashioned. He is like a hedgehog unwilling to hibernate, probing around, and being extremely sensitive, he is the slightly softer side behind his toughness. His wife Nihal represents the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. She is independent, kind, and pursues freedom. She holds a kind of resistance to her husband, and is not willing to be imprisoned by her husband's set of values. Their dialogue, like a discussion between two thoughtful people, is not only an exchange of words, but also a collision of ideas.
