The film does not deliberately distinguish between reality and imagination. After all, for the blind, the boundary between reality and imagination may not be so clear. Only the confusion and absurdity in the details, as well as the hints in the editing of the camera, reveal that the story that is gradually unfolding in the film is imagined by a blind woman. Until her imagination went further and further, when she began to imagine her husband's affair, her life condition had become a mess.
What derailed her life was that she discovered that she might be pregnant. Through the mouth of the imaginary character, she expressed her worries: How can a blind person be a good mother? It is a sad thing to raise a child without knowing what he/she looks like. It was also in her imagination that her husband pointed out her problem and asked her to tell herself the news. So, she went out. Although it was inconvenient, she encountered enthusiastic help. She bought a pregnancy test stick for her husband to see. The husband told her that it was positive and smiled. She began to prepare to welcome the arrival of this child and began to devote herself to life. Of course, she will still imagine, but life is back on track after all, and both she and the characters she imagined have started a new life.
The blurring of the boundary between the real world and the imaginary world is the biggest highlight of the film, and it may also confuse the audience at first. However, as long as you begin to understand the intention of the film, you will find that the entanglement of reality and imagination is exactly the life state of the protagonist's blind woman. No matter how logical her imaginary world is, it is after all a reflection of her loneliness and anxiety. The film uses clever lens language to give the audience the opportunity to walk into the inner world of a blind man.
