But the film brutally deconstructs this fantasy. When Bingham impulsively flies to Chicago to surprise Alex, he discovers she has a husband and children. The “parallel life” she described was literal: she never left her family; she only extended her layovers. In one devastating scene, Bingham stands in a brightly lit suburban kitchen, invisible to Alex’s children watching television.

They are the trajectory. To eliminate the scales is not to fly higher, but to fly nowhere. But the film brutally deconstructs this fantasy
