The protagonist is Justin, the bright line of contradiction is the "eccentricity" of thumb-sucking, and the dark line is the residual Oedipus complex - infatuation with her, the assumption of cheating on her, the desire, challenge, and disappointment for her father. However, each supporting role also has its own thumb to suck, either busy with competitions - drafts, debates, competitive cycling, or busy with seeking - subconscious, hypnosis and other strange powers; until one day I found out that the so-called addiction is nothing more than a distraction. heart, escape from the cruel nature of "there is no answer in life". And accepting to live without an answer will not be busy with our own problems.
However, the director arranged for Justin to see the fact that his mother did not cheat, and to hear her admit that as the mother of a 17-year-old child, she is very concerned about many things in life. He was released only after there was no answer, and the external "salvation" event—the admission letter to NYU—was actually the result of his self-rescue efforts in the (mostly) self-inflicted pain.
I admit, I must have had no idea about this movie 3 years ago.
