There are a lot of metaphors in the movie and almost all of them are nasty. 👹 but that's the message of the movie.
the bathroom scene...
Russian base. Toxic hyper-parenting. Filmed based on the book, it sounds like real life to many. Especially memorable was the main message - she loved him with a hateful love. This is a rather heavy film psychologically, pushing you to analyze the good and the bad.
