Totally! For those who missed it, in the movie there's a story about how a civilization used to bury their people and they'd plant a seed in the deceased's body/chest so it could grow from the inside and take the persons' soul, or whatever there was in it, to the sky, to ascend it. And that's somehow part of the plot of the movie too. Something like that, IIRC.

Sounds implausible. It is more probable that he inhaled it and didn't realize or is ashamed to admit it.

It's one of my favourite films for its depth and its amazing soundtrack.

I didn't think about it so literally. I understood it more as a methaphor/explanation for life and meaning of life.
