The way we grow up

Each interspersed piece of music, as well as a close-up in the streamer. All to my liking. But sad, indescribable.

The child's mother dies, the 5-year-old boy lives alone with his clueless cool dad, and the ex-wife's eldest child comes from the UK. In what way are they living a life without a wife and mother? Anguish, stress, pain. The countryside and seaside of Australia are like an oil painting. The car is galloping on the highway, the depression is released in the heart, the child and the father are growing at the same time.

Highly recommend the two originals.





See the pyramids along the Nile,
watch the sun rise on a tropic isle.
Just remember darling all the while,
you belong to me....

The Boys Are Back quotes

  • [first lines]

    Joe Warr: [narrating] I don't know whether you've ever seen a map of a person's mind. Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting. But catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. There is zig-zag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card. And these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always, more or less, an island.

  • Artie: Daddy.

    Joe Warr: What is it, sweet heart?

    Artie: I want to die.

    Joe Warr: Do you? Why?

    Artie: So I can be with mommy.

    Artie: Don't worry daddy, I'll stay down here with you for now.

    Joe Warr: Thanks.
