The "thief family" is selfish and altruistic. All relationships are not what they appear to be, but just stay in this second of licking, snuggling, and supporting each other. The real purpose is to survive, but isn't that the essence of family? Hatsue Honda silently said "Thank you," and Shota called Zhi "Dad". These are the two most moving moments. It's a compendium of the director's main themes—family, isolation, the repressive qualities of Japanese culture, and more.
