Martine tells Sophie Martine tells Sophie the story of the Marassas, two lovers who were so close that they were practically the same person “The love between a mother and daughter is deeper than the sea. You would leave me for an old man you dint know the year before… you are giving up a life time with me.” with this phrase Martine wanted to make it clear to Sophie that although they did not have such a strong relationship as a mother should have her with her ​​daughter. She loved her and care. Since Martine knew that Sophie felt so far away from her, even when they were so close.
