The film's main theme is obsession. An obsession with love, with art, originality, copying, with success, money and... with oneself.

What at first seems to be weak and trivial is capable of expanding and growing into a serious problem that can appear to be absolutely incomprehensible and absurd to those who have never experienced anything like it.
