Part 3/8:
After a brief excursion to a bar meant to break from the mundane, Donal’s vulnerabilities are exposed when he attempts to connect with a bartender, ultimately facing ridicule from a group of intoxicated men. This moment symbolizes the tension between his deep-seated loyalty to his mother and his own neglected desires, suggesting an internal struggle that is about to explode.
His temporary retreat to the RV represents a turning point. While initially a symbol of freedom, it soon becomes the setting for tragedy. Florence's unexpected death, coupled with a sequence of events that Donal finds increasingly suspicious, shrouds him in guilt and a thirst for retribution.
