Experiencing Interruptions?

Nuartier

There are three protagonists in the movie, but we can see only the one.
The whole story is shown through the eyes of the paralyzed person in a hospital room. For many years, a young girl periodically visits a paralyzed patient in the hospital , telling the story of her life.

Being a prisoner of her imaginary world , she is gradually, not noticing, that her life turns into hell.

All what a paralyzed person can do is watch and listen not reciprocate . The contrast of life threatened patient verses the constantly complaining visitor creates allegory . But unfortunately she doesn’t realize it . On a contrary the visitor seams emotionally paralyzed . Time after time she blows her daily choices out of proportions , making her life seams unbearable , although it’s her own choices .

Over the years, it becomes obvious that she has turned into a monster, tormenting not only herself but people around her .

She confesses a murder of her lovers wife which then leads to a death of her lover . He couldn’t bear his wife’s sudden death .

And only after that chain of events she realizes how many mistakes she had done , but what’s done is done and there is not way to turn time back . No way to change anything not only because she paralyzed in her mind but also because she is the visited on - she is the one in a hospital bed - she is the one who’s facing herself making all that mistakes.
