The movie explores several characters of whom most in some way or another have something missing from their life: for the mother, its her safety and in particular the safety of her children; for the tomb raiders, its money and perhaps excitement; for Arthur it is the love of his life, a person permanently lost to the other side -- death -- whom he symbolically tries to connect with by opening tombs. Its a simple but beautiful idea from the screenwriter. While the first set of problems, that is chimeras, given to the supporting characters surrounding Arthur, are at least in principle solvable through luck or work, or even if these chimeras or problems remained unsolved, even then, life would continue as usual, however, Arthur's lost is qualitatively different. The movie builds towards the fact that only a new love or death can set Arthur free. In the end Arthur samples a new love, but still find himself looking for the love of his life. The redemption comes through his death, or there is no redemption in this life, this is left for the viewer to decide.
