It''s quieter than it''s ever been. Unable to sleep, a young boy climbs into his father''s arms. Feeling the warmth and closeness of his father, he begins to ask questions about the birds, the foxes, and whether his mom will ever wake up. They go outside under the starry sky. Loss and love are as present as the white spruces, while the father''s clear answers and assurances calm his worried son. Here we feel the cycles of life and life''s continuity, even in the face of absence and loss, so strongly and clearly that we know at the end that everything will, somehow, be all right.
