A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons so the girl lives through hers. She becomes a young woman, has a family and in time she becomes old, yet within her there is always a deep longing for her father.
The story can be seen as a metaphor. The father leaving on a boat signifies his death and the images of the daughter watching for him to come back is signifying her always thinking about him throughout her life. Towards the end when the now elderly daughter begins to travel through the overgrown, dried up riverbed is supposed to explain that she has died and is now travelling in the afterlife to see her father once again.
Is it true? Or a mere “ saying” we decide to believe ?! Is the one care less in any kind of relationships is the most powerful? Or is it simply a sign that” he/she” merely doesn't care anymore? It is a complicated conviction...no one can definitely decide whether is it “ no care” or is it an attempt to be the “most powerful”! But, when one shows each time a less care and interest in the other partner, the relationship starts to lose its credibility and stability..too much carelessness especially in matter of relationships agitates the flames of hatred which eats all the old flames of love and passion However, as much as I try to forget those who “care less” about me..I find myself dangling in loving them more intensely!
The following poem is translation of the poem in the video... The one used to console me is Gone! Gone and today he's in his grave.
He left me alone and sad...dying in my grief
I remember him when he talks to me with a broad smile on his face.. I remember him when he consoles me when my tears drop on my cheeks.. I remember him when he complains to me about the worries fill his chest..
I remember him and my tears roll down my cheeks and my mind becomes his only captive !
My sweetheart is Gone! I could not even smell his scent! My soul died too and accompanies him in his grave.
Where are you dear? Come back...come talk to me under the moonful night.. Ask me about my beings..everything sweetheart has turned sore after your departure!
Oh ...I've no patience..come back..come back !!
I have nothing.. I have just the hope to meet you again in the Green Paradise..
Oh my dear.. The whole universe miss you.. May God rest your soul in Heaven..drink from the sweetest brook
