Trivia
According to the film's Australian distributor Art Films, ''throughout the film the symbol of the cactus is a recurrent motif. The cactus is a plant that thrives on neglect, and it provides the drama with a brittle but telling edge. Both [central] characters have a totally different concept of what they 'see'. For Robert [Robert Menzies] it is a blend of imagination and legend. For Colo [Isabelle Huppert], it is a fusion of memory and impulse - two blind people teaching one another how to see.''
