The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts.
Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie.
It took me a long time to film the plastic bag, and then I had to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character.
