A man returns home, defeated in war. The battles and ideologies are over. This film constitutes her explicit tribute to men, to whom the film is dedicated (along with Carl Jung). “The hero always has a mission, and the woman-artist shows his failure, his fall, filming him and accompanying him as he struggles to walk on crutches. She looks on at this failure with pity but her gaze gives the warrior, even in his fall, a way to vindicate himself: to reach his resting place by his own means. The warrior can (and must) always vindicate himself. The feminine gaze is compassionate and from out of this compassion, admiration is born”.
