Conor who experience the rite of passage of growth in the movie Monster Call

In Monster Call, a film about the growth of a boy who needs to say goodbye to a sick mother, Conor, who his mother is ill and acts more mature or that no one understands, appears. From one day on, Conor suffers from a nightmare, in which his mother hangs on a cliff in front of a collapsing house, relying on his hand. It is a nightmare that he lost her mother's hand while he has to hold tight. As he starts dreaming this, he faces a monster. The monster says that he will give three stories to Conor, and Conor must tell the monster the truth by that time. What is Conor’s truth?

Conor is curious about three stories of the monster, but he had no idea what truth he should tell. The truth that Conor concealed in his heart is the opposite of Conor's heroes in fairy tales that he read. He wants his mom to be completely relieved, but on the other hand, he wants his mom to die so quickly that this hard time passes by. But the young Conor couldn't spit it out of his mouth.

The true heart in the kind child Conor could not tell does not have only one shape. We ignore another truth that we know from the back of a bright moon from time to time. A human grows by discovering and recognizing the other side of the moon.

I am so sad, because Noru who realized reality too early age, and Sunhee, who could not become an adult, relied on Noru are so poor. After all, the road of adventure to the underworld is the journey of the last gift that Noru gives to her. It is because the reason why Noru wanted to reincarnate was to care about her mother.
