The kiss- Anton Chekhov- how to deal with interiority in a film

http://www.online-literature.com/anton_chekhov/1243/

A beautiful story about a soldier who leaps into fantasy when a girl kisses him at a gathering in a dark room.
I'm interested in how interiority, which is relatively simple to express with the written word, can be expressed cinematically using images.Cinema is comprised of physicalities, and all meaning and feeling is constructed from what we see,hear, touch around us. It is a material medium, and hence it's harder to touch upon intagible thoughts and feelings. The story im currently working on has a lot of this and it'll be a challenge that i'll have to face at the adaptation stage. The challenge is to abandon the script and start visualizing the film anew, To take the story as a foundation to base the film on, and not necessarily to get attached to the images and the events that comprise the story.
