Two lovers in a remote place. A castle, a strong bastion and sanctuary that represents their love.
After the girl's death, the man is left to grieve in despair. His lover appears in the shape of a ghost, bringing with her many happy memories. A symbol of hope in his dead world. She tells him his time has not yet come, and in spite of his sorrow, he should live.
Her ghost brings dual emotion: renewed hope and bitterness when she vanishes. He wonders how to survive without her by his side.
The symbol of the castle represents the strength of the couple's love, but the ruins of the abbey show that decay and death are inevitable. It is a mortal's destiny. In spite of a lifelong struggle, death is unavoidable. Hope only postpones the finality and without love, life is not worth living. What is the point of carrying on living if it is for a life of grief and misery? The soul is made of two elements that are indistinguishable.
