Hey, thanks for the interest. The idea behind the film is that if there is a greater force out there (which I don't really believe there is) we do not need to know it or understand it for it to accept us. Another way to put this is it is better to live a moral life by your own choice and NOT by the fear of going to hell or wherever that the church puts in the masses. This character is saved just on the fact that he realizes that he did not live a "moral" life, which is represented by the out of focus flower. In other words, the flower itself is a "life" and an out of focus flower is a life that did not make the correct choices. The "'greater force" saw this and touched the man by the way of the lightning and thus saving him.
I don't know if I potrayed this correctly in the film (its only my second attempt at filmmaking) but I hope this helps.
