23

The number 23 appears in three key places. There are 23 chapters, it is the number of words that Sophia knows, and also the number of pictures that are developed from the film. The number 23 is often considered an important or predestined number because certain things occur 23 times. For example: The ovule and the spermatozoon are composed both of 23 chromosomes, it takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate through a human body, there are 23 articulation in a human arm, and there are 23 axioms of the geometry of Euclid. So the repeated use of 23 can hint at destiny.

Astrologically, people born on the 23rd are considered lively, adaptable, intelligent, and strong-willed. Heidi, who notices the number of words that Sophia knows and the number of pictures that are developed can be described in this way. It can allude to the Heidi’s strength of character in pursuing her destiny.
