Overview
Five years in the making, Lawrence Jordan's feature-length "alchemical autobiography" Sophie's Place takes as its inspiration the story of the Greek goddess of wisdom, Sophia. Writes Jordan, "I must emphasize that I do not know the exact significance of any of the symbols in the film any more than I know the meaning of my dreams... I hope that the symbols and the episodes set off poetic associations in the viewer. I mean them to be entirely open to the viewer's own interpretation."

Now, after Hikari leaves, Karen must discover who she is without her opposite, while Hikari must rediscover her own course.

To embalm also means to “preserve from oblivion”, and “to cause to remain unchanged”, “to prevent the development of something”.
