Besdies the conclusion of the movie Hopkin's character is understanding less and less of the world around him so it becomes less clear what is happening in the film. This includes things like how convosations are repeated by multiple actors, the father is desperate to put together the pieces of his shattered life (broken ceramics and diffuson of ligght in glass ) and only gets more frustrated as things make less sense and become unsolvable.
