Relic The daughter proposes to place the mother with cognitive impairments in a nursing home, and the granddaughter believes that it would be better to look after old Edna herself. But the grandmother has her own story - someone always comes into her house, hiding under the bed or behind the walls.
Edna's relationship with her uninvited guest (guests? energy? in short, some incomprehensible thing) turns into a metaphor for a terrible death. All the aggression in the film is completely attributed to the dying person – it seems to grow in you with each passing year, turning into a destructive force.
“Since your grandfather died, this house has become unfamiliar, it seems to have become bigger,” Edna said. The death of a single man can kill the whole family at once, allowing former rulers to enter the world - calm from finding themselves inside the female barren existence. Women, deprived of men, voluntarily go to meet, hoping for at least some alternative to rotting in the ground. The director in the interview speaks directly about Inom and his considerable age, apparently many times exceeding the brief human age. And, in general, the creator of the picture emphasizes, evil is not so evil, you see how cute it is in the end.
So do not hesitate to lie down and decompose – the sooner the better. And if you fight, it will be your useless aggression, because as a short-term being you do not see the full picture. Does your granddaughter have a boyfriend in mind?
