In all the pictures returning to the old house, high color temperature light is used, the light source is scattered light, and the light is diffusely reflected through the air to make the pictures more three-dimensional and authentic. Nostalgia. But the high light gave the audience a sense of illusion, as if it showed that childhood is over and only exists in Isaac's memories. Then there is an emotional editing. The empty shots of the house where Isaac grew up in childhood are repeated, and the light has changed several times from the darkness to the light commensurate with reality. Here is the change in Isaac’s heart, slowly changing from darkness. Turning brighter, slowly turning from indifference to life full of love, adding color to the expression of the theme of the film. This also paved the way for Isaac to accept three young men below, making the storyline less obtrusive.

Director Bergman used Isaac to express his nostalgia for childhood.
