■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can rational order explain what it cannot absorb
Reason: The school’s discipline and social codes collapse before an event that resists explanation
Related Film: The Last Wave - Middle: Can adolescence be understood from the outside
Reason: The missing girls become an opaque center around which adult fear, desire, and control circulate
Related Film: The Virgin Suicides - Core: Does the unknown destroy meaning or expose its limits
Reason: The unresolved disappearance leaves explanation permanently suspended rather than restored
Related Film: L’Avventura
■ Secondary Axes
- Landscape as threshold: Nature functions as a boundary where social identity dissolves into something unreadable
Related Film: Walkabout - Repression and haunting: Polite institutional surfaces conceal psychic pressure that returns through ambiguity
Related Film: The Innocents
