A metaphor for the entire film. Who made these rules? What do they really mean? What purpose do they serve? Can't we make our own rules? I found this metaphor personally meaningful..
1. Please don't smoke in bed.

2. Please don't operate the grinder or press if you've been drinking.

3. Please don't go up to the roof to eat your lunch.

4. Please, even if you are very hot, do not go up to the roof to sleep.

5. There should be no going up on the roof at night.

I'm so fond of her minimalist style in music -- simple but quite moving.
