Inspired by Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie the art film explores the favorite theme of the director - memory and nostalgia, history and reality, and is highly symbolic in the visual content as well as in spoken word.
Meet Me In The Glass House contains many important symbols, including the house stairs, representing the Elsa's exit from reality and entrance to her illusory world; the water streams, representing future possibilities and new beginnings; the glass an mirror doors and windows throughout the house, representing Elsa's multifaceted personality; and rose orchids, representing Elsa's original childhood soul. The main themes in The Meet Me In The Glass House are memory and nostalgia, family devotion and responsibility, and femininity roles. Memory and nostalgia: The Meet Me In The Glass House takes place in Elsa's memory. Elsa, one of the film's characters serves as analyst as well as partaker in the storytelling; the film itself represents the memories of the observer years later, and henceforth is not a depiction of reality. Vital themes include abandonment, disenchantment, and living in the past.—Film Observer
