can any one explain?


I really liked the movie, and the ending was preatty confussed but cool any way. However, the thing i do not understand is who the girl in te picture is, and i mean the one that appears at the beggining, and then again when Onoff is punched against the table and his blood falls in the picture.....at the end of the film Onoff says "she was 5 in the picture" or something like that......was she Paola? or who was she?
Thanx

The picture is of a boy. Depardieu says something like "the tramp took the picture, it is me when I was about 5 years old"

reply

Yes, you're right. I saw it with english subtitles. Here's the tarnslation:

(...) "The only one you didn't recognize"

"Faubin took it."
"I think..."
"I think I was five."

In the beginning and through the rest of the movie
this pictures appears a couple of times and Onoff
really is confused with it and shows much interest
but can´t quite identify.
after the dramatic climax of this movie, after
her remembered everything, he can recalls this at last, too.

it´s him at the age of fife.


in the beginning I thought, its a kid he killed ;)

Well, in a way it was a kid he killed ...

They are all dead. Onoff killed himself. That's why there is no dead body and that's also why he calls Paola and she can´t listen to him.
The child in the picture is a boy, Onoff himself.
