If the focus is on two people, the two are definitely related. But the point should be these two characters and why they do it.
If it is "relationship", it may involve something about belief and a deep human nature. (This kind of relationship can happen to anyone)
After thinking about it, I think the director's intention must be to portray two people whose relationship appears in the movie as a background. My confusion may be due to the "background" being too powerful. One cannot help but explore the essence (religious background) of this "belief". In addition, the film was previously linked to World War II, adding another layer of social background.
Because the script was written by the director himself, I felt that the point of interest of the writer as a "screenwriter" was placed in an inappropriate place. In other words, the author himself did not want to understand the focus and depth of the story.
As a director's writer I think it's done very, very well, making a story that can be said to be a little dull (or no story at all) look relish.
The mismatch between the two authors makes the movie look a little weird.
