The film delivers many subtle messages, particularly about family relationships and the educational and economic disparities among siblings. However, the most interesting philosophy presented is that of the wardrobe (lemantun). In the film, the wardrobe is an analogy for a mother's womb, the first shelter where humans reside before entering the world. It then becomes a material parameter when the mother passes down one wardrobe to each of her children. The scene where Tri enters the wardrobe can be interpreted as an allegory, indicating that out of all the children, he is the only one who chooses to stay and becomes the last refuge for his mother for the rest of her life.
