I see this short as basically an impression of what the future looks like through fortune tellers' eyes. There's more to it than that, including a lot of alchemical symbolism, but the way in which this short transists from card-reading to abstract montage editing provides a very light narrative about the future of the woman concerned.
I like the really grainy, yellow and orange tinted aspect of this film. I don't know if it's purposeful or if age has changed the look of this film, but it almost looks as if everything is made out of sand... another alchemical formation. All of the work involving the water is beautiful, especially the moment right after the man appears and right before one can tell it's actually a man.
The ending is very neat. I like how the woman rises out of the water, that entire scene seems very mythic.
