It shows the main character trying to come to terms with his regrets about how he pulled Carolina into his violent life, how it changed her. In the end he realizes that she changed him, and his violent life is gone because of that. Now she'll always be a part of him - the part that makes him "whole." That's the reason for the focus on the wounded left hand that had prevented him from playing.
The movies are so beautifully filmed that I originally thought this would be entirely narrative-free, just all about the images. But once I started planning, I saw that the time gap between the films (about 10 years) was an asset - the main character looks much older in the final movie. That led me to the flashback concept.
Visually, I was trying to let go of old editing habits here and work toward a more organic flow. It was scary. Hold me.
Lyrics:
I Feel You - Depeche Mode
I feel you, your sun it shines
I feel you within my mind
You take me there, you take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to, lead me through
Babylon
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you, your heart it sings
I feel you, the joy it brings
Where heaven waits, those golden gates
And back again
You take me to and lead me through
Oblivion
I feel you, your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you, your rising sun
My kingdom comes
I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
Where angels sing and spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home to glory's throne
By and by
