This film is about remembering, about finding, about growing up, about love. It was the son who buried the memories in the top of the closet, it was the mother and son who leaned down against the door and whispered I love you, it was Dr. Blake who hugged with tears in his eyes, it was the YES and NO of grandpa's left and right hands, and it was left on the recording phone. "Are you there?" shouted six times. It was the mother who silently went to every place her son was going to visit. It was the mother's relief when she sat on the sofa and saw her son arrive home safely. It was the father's eternal confession to his mother in the last call of his life. "I love you" is the last card left at the base of the swing, the last page of the book, and the person who fell into the World Trade Center is reborn. For lost people, we look for, some can be found, like the Black couple, like grandpa and grandma, and some people once lost, it will be forever, on the ground and underground, only his voice can be vaguely heard on the recording phone. In the shadow of the sun, I saw his figure vaguely, and relived his existence in the rippling swing. In this way, how will we find, so we learn to cherish, learn to express, express love, express concern, express miss.

Oskar Schell: It's just a box! An empty box!
Linda Schell: I know it's an empty box! I know this. But I did it for me, and I did it for you so we can at least try and say goodbye to him. Because he's gone, Oskar, he's gone and he's not coming back. Never. I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building. I don't know why my husband is dead. But no matter how hard you try, Oskar, it's never gonna make sense because it doesn't. It doesn't... make... sense!
Oskar Schell: Fukozowa you! You don't know anything!

[first lines]
Oskar Schell: There are more people alive now than have died in all of human history, but the number of dead people is increasing. One day, there isn't going to be any room to bury anyone anymore. So, what about skyscrapers for dead people, that are built down. They could be underneath the skyscrapers for living people, that are built up. We could bury people 100 floors down. And a whole dead world could be underneath the living one.
