This ends up being a story exploring the unknown, showing how much it can leave someone broken inside. The empty life the young man is feeling shows that he has accepted the loss, but wants answers. While the journey sees him trying to rebuild a life he once had. This ends up leaving a lot of emptiness in the journey and the destination.

Rory Alexander is outstanding in the leading role, showing us the lost soul, he is playing. Mark Rylance adds a grounded figure in an otherwise ordinary world. Everything ends up showing us the bleak everyday life and stepping back into one.
