I filmen verkar det som detta avsiktligt lämnat ett mysterium. För att citat Emmanuelle Seigner , skådespelerskan som spelade Vanda och regissörens fru:
We don’t know. Maybe she is from his mind. Like in Rosemary’s Baby, at the end you can think, maybe she dreamt all that. Or maybe she is a goddess, or an actress that wanted to teach the director a lesson. Who knows? I like that it is open and mysterious.
Men i en intervju med dramatiker David Ives tycks indikera att Vanda är en kött-och-blod-person.
...like the fact that Vanda [the character] is an army brat and Nina [the actress] really is an army brat.
