A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who—mysteriously—never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right—but is anyone? This sudden runaway becomes the hidden core of a number of fictions that the film delicately weaves together: the secret of the heart of another woman, lost as well, many years ago; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything, like the shadows that invade the world after the twilight hour.详情

寻找的主题在本片枝枝蔓蔓分叉出去的叙事体里被mis en abyme般讽刺地模仿。上篇的侦探体叙事模型通过游戏叙事的中段而被复杂化到无解程度:在图书馆的书页中发现另一个故事这个剧情本身就具有卡尔维诺式的调戏感。而下篇明确的叙事模型后则是女性的、完全现时的观察式找寻。尼斯湖水怪和弗兰肯斯坦两个互文带着荒诞感,又最终取消了解密的环节,一切停留在那些植物和花朵。而这便是本片的唯一落入窠臼之处:女性和植物间的并制已是这个人类世和ecowriting下的俗套。
永恒的谜,如黑洞般吸纳所有的好奇心,漂移,直到求索者成为他人的谜题。同时也是结构的魔法,其中藏匿着情感历史,包含着故事的故事,地点、人名、纸片、信息使得世界变成了巨大的密码盒、时间的迷宫——不断行进又终归起点,旁白絮叨又不断跳跃的画面,熔接交叠,不同的时间提示、字符消息、声波、地图。电台——我们发现的一处理想的未知之境——When are we?
