Edward Dunstan is a troubled artist consumed by his fixation on his muse. Through his photographs and films, he attempts to capture an idealized version of her, failing to see her true self. Despite his muses patient yearning for recognition, Edward remains blind to her essence. In his latest movie, a mermaid character symbolizes his muse, who ultimately transforms and departs from Edwards life, mirroring her real-life counterpart. His existence becomes a cycle of obsession, with days and nights spent endlessly watching her projected on the screen. As anger gives way to self-pity, Edward grapples with the consequences of his inability to perceive the authenticity of his muse.影评：这部作品深刻探讨了艺术家与灵感之间的错综复杂关系。导演巧妙地运用象征主义手法，将主角的内心矛盾与现实生活相互映照，呈现出一幅关于追寻真实与失落的深刻画面。演员的表现令人信服，将角色的心理纠结和挣扎展现得淋漓尽致。观众在观影过程中不禁沉思：在追逐理想的同时，我们是否也迷失了真正的自我？整个故事给人以启发，引发深刻的共鸣，堪称一部不可多得的心灵之作。
