What's really going on
The chapter is where the film lets Duncan and Susanna recognise each other. Both are children of broken marriages, both are quiet, and both have found a private place to disappear to. Their beach walk is the emotional centre: Susanna talks about her father, the ghost crabs and the fact that her mother is more hurt by his new girlfriend than by the divorce itself. "Not that my dad left, but that he's got someone and she doesn't," she says, which is a sharper description of adult pain than anything the grown-ups manage. When she senses that Duncan has a secret of his own, she does not push, only tells him, "It's okay. Let it be yours." It is the first time in the film that anyone gives Duncan room instead of instructions.
