Why was the neighbour so on to Emelie ?


Didn't understand that really... did emelie remind him of his dead daugther ?

reply

Yes....it was right there in the movie. The neighbors daughter died from cancer (since the picture of her was bald assumption she has chemo) and they told David that Emily reminded them of their daughter.

I can vouch for that.

Volker Flenske: (While torturing David) I don't know why you're doing this to yourself!

reply

Yeah, he wanted to spend time with his daughter again. And if he couldn't, he wanted to spend time with something close. So a girl that reminded him of her became the choice.
