Psychology
It has a disturbing scene, then when they arrive in the new house: the girl goes until a cave, and is scared, leaving the doll to fall in the soil. There it would have been the first meeting with ' ' friend oculto' ' , Charlie, that was new persona created by the father, with a total diverse attitude of the one of it. In the principle, Charlie was legal, according to girl, seemed with the mother of it. Of beginning, was a trick, a game. From then on, the film is confused, warm. The father of the girl was psychologist, therefore, he could not diagnosis it.
But at some moments, we see making this, writing down its impressions in a notebook the same. The flashes (scenes) show as the behavior of that father were being modified. One persona potential and deeply disturbing. It was as if the lens of the director was entering in the unconscious one of the main personage.
