I was influenced by Joseph Campbell's books, about the story patterns of mythology; how there is actually one story that is told a million times in a million shapes. I think you can see that all of my films have a similar syntax and a similar way of looking at the characters and their journey, even if they are impressionistic films like SideWalk.
At a symbolic level, all seven characters in the film converge into one character: a child. Each child represents a particular layer of this child, created from all of them.
