Talk About It
Discussion starters
- How do the three siblings deal with their grief?
- What is the relationship between the characters and the material objects that are important to them—i.e., the home, the paintings, etc.?
- In what kind of light does the film portray family?
- Do you think the story is depressing? Uplifting? A little bit of both?
The Family Corner
For parents to consider
The film is not rated. There is nothing objectionable in it, though there are some slightly grown-up themes—death, mostly, and also a brief scene in which a father and daughter talk about drug use.
