weirdo description(decipheration?), kind of disregarding the video:...listen to the song as if it's from the perspective of an awareness of/or, a/the creator/s of the universe/light(or something similarly beyond us); sadly, beautifully describing the emergence,component interactions and decay, of this existance
Cillian Murphy is so fine! "Father and son bring their painful past into their isolated present for 24 hours. Set in the middle of a cold beautiful winter."
what i got from the video was that feist was the stepmother, cause her role is referred to as "the mother", of cillian murphy, and the wife of the older man. cillian and feist may have had a relationship. i think the older man either decided to commit suicide by drowning (maybe with feist) or leave his home for parts unknown across the water
that is only my interpretation but i just thought that sharing it might help those who are "don't get" the story
She isn't the stepmother. She's the woman in the photograph of the old man when he was young. Both he and she are young in the photo. If you've seen the entire video, then it makes more sense. She was frozen in the lake for reason's unknown (I think she was going to die after child birth or sometime after as her child didn't know her, it seemed). The father froze her so she could see her son grown up and spend one more day with her husband. At the end, I believe they both went to the lake.
yeah id like to know what the heck is goin on here, whats the meaning of this video. everyone seems so sad like they are greiving. possibly the old mans wife passed away? i dont know...
i think this song has a lot of depth to it. like if you listen to the lyrics and really listen to teh music. theres so much sorrow behind it. it makes me feel lonliness deep in my chest.
I got the impression that the young couple received bad news about the girl's health, the elder person might be time, her ancestors or even death and he came to take her away, like the water takes everything on its way when in a storm or a river.
Death can be compare to the water, it is part of nature, it is very close to our existence and no one can control it, it flows without no ones permission.
The storyline is that they can't let go of the fact that their mother and wife had died. She left a bigger impact on their lives than the realized. They're trying to thaw the memory of her. I don't know if that helps, but its my best guess.
Where in Canada was this shot?

What movie is this?
ashpants686 2 years ago
Hmmm, from what I know this is only part of the film, but the only part with a soundtrack. so for many, the story is incomplete.

Yep. This is incomplete. The full video can be found searching under: "The water" portablefilmfestival.

if anything it has way too much depth. because it makes zero sense. at least it's shot beautifully though.

I will be honest she has a nice voice but some of her music lacks depth.
I do admire her for sticking it out after all these years.
Will be interesting sticking around to hear what she does next. Hopefully there will be something there worth listening too.

feist is the mother. watch the full version. (note: I make an assumption, but the full version suggests that feist and the old dude are the couple).
