In the final scene, Mathilda transfers Léon's beloved potted plant to an open field behind the girls' school, believing it will grow roots and be a living symbol of his memory. She doesn't know that this particular plant - a tropical variety called a Chinese Evergreen - cannot survive outdoors in cold weather, and will die in the first winter frost. New York Times critic Janet Maslin noted this in her 1994 review and called the ending "misguided poetry".
