After Raimund has seen and heard everyone and everything that answers most of his questions, he gets ready to board the train back to Switzerland, but his new optometrist friend, Mariana, says to him, in her whispery voice, "Why don't you just stay?" And the film ends with them both standing on the train platform, facing each other, with the words hanging in the air, unanswered.

When it unfolds its revolutionary effects and insures that life is revealed in a brand new light, it does that silently. And in this wonderful silence resides its special nobility.
