Theory of little girl?


So why did she not talk, why did she disappear? I have several ideas lets see if you agree or if you have a different reasons.

1. She did not speak Hebrew (I thought this throughout the movie, could of been like the Asian woman)

2. She was deaf

3. She was a figment of the woman's imagination as was the police officer and the photographer.

4. My dad suggested she ws silent becasue she suffered a trauma. He says sometimes trauma makes you silent. Eek scary thought.

It's been a while since I've seen the movie (it is available on DVD as "Jellyfish") but, best as I can recall, the girl was a metaphor for the woman when she was a child.

It was Batya, metaphorically dealing with the trauma of her childhood, until, at the end, she was able to part with the silent and hurting young girl inside herself.
