Interesting contemplation of consciousness and life

Interesting contemplation of consciousness and life. The main character wakes from a coma unable to speak and with questions related to the absence of his mother. In flashbacks, we see some elements related to his mother and his father. But, these memories seem to question what is a reality and what the character is fantasy.

To avoid spoilers, I will talk abstractly of themes developed. In a parallel to contemplation of AI, these ideas are explored through personhood, identity, and body integrity. The confusion of fantasy (in the form of memories) and reality propel notions of what is living, what is identity, and do both need to align.

The film has some drawbacks given the limitations of a character that largely doesn't speak, and some heavy emphasis on specific characteristics for other characters to differentiate between reality, fantasy, and the merger of the two.

Worth a watch but only for those that want to think, not be numbed by mystery and action.
