The subject matter may not be the most uplifting premise, but watching Declan deal with his brother’s death is actually quite sweet. Declan has a strong interest in space, and he uses this interest to understand what has happened. Sitting in his brother’s crib, Declan talks about how there’s no air on the moon, and that his brother died because he couldn’t breathe the air here. If his brother had lived on the moon, he may still be alive. It’s a bittersweet idea, and one that only a child could think of, creating a very moving portrait of unending brotherly love.
