Through the perspective of a boy, the film uses almost line drawing techniques (except for a few montages to express a certain meaning), depicting the dilapidated scene of Glasgow during the general strike and a scene that is often neglected by society. Series of teenage problems.
The mouse in the movie has several meanings. The boy has a strong sense of guilt because he killed his little partner by mistake, so he has a certain feeling of sympathy for the same "bad thing" mouse. In the movie, the mouse flying to the moon has a certain meaning of freedom, which means that the boy who is deeply tortured by guilt, bullied by older children, and depressed because he is in a divorced family, has the meaning of physical and mental liberation.
The ending of the movie is an illusion in the heart of the little boy. The little boy killed by him did not die, but was swimming in the river. The family found a house in an empty field. The little boy also won complete physical and mental liberation at the end of the movie.
