saw this at the midwest independent film festival . really enjoy the ambiguity of the symbolism . very clever the symbols work for christian viewer as well a devotee of modern psychology and myth structure and what have you . the question lingers and of course and at the end represent be it a dream . be there even ever a man and a dog . be this truly a wayfarer or be this the inner struggle make flesh . the case for the wandering man be christ be strong if you tend toward those line of thinking ( obviously that my first leaning ) represent he die for the main character sin . then in that case what be the dog and but the burden of caretaking and the concept of blind selflessness and charity towards others ( he doesn not have a name ) and that christianity extol . i can not speak for other worldviews interpretation of the movie but i be sure there be similar explanation for freudian and jungian and etc . and paradigm . conversation with the filmmaker reveal that there intentionally be no one true explanation of the film . a story of redemption and sacrifice and laden with traditional symbolism and that let the viewer take from it what he want . strongly recommend .
