And now for something completely different: a two-shot of a male and a female animal, where the female is more covered than the male, something we rarely see in cinema. Rather than a potential couple trapped in the compulsion of a postcard setting, this composition suggests opposition. Elias stands on both feet, half-naked, against the bright sun. The woman, a textured mass of darkness, curled on the sand, sits on the sinister side, against the wrecked construction of a pier that deteriorates the deeper it reaches into the water. Their shadows will meet sooner than their bodies.
