In fact, Alex has never left life itself, stealing, fighting, robbery, cheating, all his actions are full of vitality, and sometimes flashes of rationality (deliberately planning to escape, robbery) and warmth (no gunshots) Dropping bullets, and Susannah's politeness), constantly abandoning the false life (giving up working for the false boss of the brothel)
Alex's girlfriend represents love, which is his belief that connects him to the real life, with The real God connects (her premonitions and constant prayers before the robbery)
eventually Alex returns to the countryside as if he never left. He is connected to the real earth at one end, and sows the seeds of faith and life for the empty lives of police officer Robert and his wife Susannah.
And he himself was deeply in the whirlpool of hatred, until Robert questioned him by the lake, then he realized that this suffering was destined, it was the gift of God, when he threw the stone into the lake, everything was relieved, He was saved. It is obvious here that the director was influenced by Yasujiro Ozu (in fact, the picture, sound and plot arrangement of the whole film can be seen).
When Susannah talks to him at the end of the credits, Alex's face is so calm, like a dead ashes, reflecting the radiance of God.
