This film is about family, about humanity, and about life. It's about everything.

The little girl's death threw a bomb to the world around her. Her parents blamed each other for what had happened and grew cold towards each other. The family nearly collapsed.

The little girl's death gave his imagery big brother a chance to live as a truly human being. He came out of the walls and stepped into the real world for the first time in his maybe early twenties.

As a twenty something grown-up, he is not what people expected him to be; not an experienced, learned or sophisticated adult. On the contrary, he is quite simple, unworldly, and naïve; he's a baby trapped in a young man's body. Even though he still had to take a living adventure on his own.

What he went through provided us an opportunity to see and think how one takes and learns to be a capable, suitable and adaptive living person in a society.

His endurance showed us how presumption, prejudice, misunderstanding and misconception relate to how we treat one another.

What he undertook granted us a possibility to see how people use one another in the wrong way; how people take advantage of others when they feel they are more superior.

His odyssey really reveals every aspect of humanity.

After seeing this film, we can begin to agree the negative denotation in the phrase "We're Only Human".
