At the start of the film, we are in Jessica’s bedroom. It is late at night, and everything is seamlessly quiet when we suddenly hear a sound. It is like an explosion in the distance (at least that is my interpretation of the sound at the first go). The sound wakes Jessica up. She tries to look for the source of this sound in her house but finds not...
Hernan is a sound engineer in a music studio at Bogata, Columbia, who helps Jessica try to recreate the sound she is so deeply plagued and moved by. Jessica’s interactions with him tell us that he has come quite close to faithfully reproducing the sound that Jessica sought. They also seem to be warming up to each other, until he hints at a romantic...

The Nature of Art: Creation v/s Imagination
Ever since Jessica heard that sound on a fateful night, she hasn’t had a wink of sleep. We find her constantly trying to understand the sound better. To that extent, she goes to a sound engineer and tries to reproduce it.

It brought back to me the fir...
Curiosity: Poetic and Political
If there’s something that stands out in this film, it is the nature of human curiosity. Right from the moment Jessica wakes up to the sound to the moment when she follows the older version of Hernan into his hut, Jessica is curious. She is curious enough to want to recreate the sound for herself or go for a doctor’s check-up to find out if anything is wrong with her. Not only Jessica but everyone around her seems to be curious cats of their own kinds – her sister mentions wanting to know abou...
When Jessica thinks that she is starting to lose her grasp on reality, she travels to a village close to the mountains. She chances upon a man, sitting beside a river and cleaning the fish’s scales, who tells her that he has a remembrance of everything. He goes by the name Hernan and says that he remembers space, can speak in monkey language, and k...
