As noted in previous responses this week, the specter of Calum's death weaves in and out of the story. Here are some key sides of dialogue which reflect that point.

CALUM

Can’t see myself at 40 to be

honest. Surprised I made it to 30.

Later, Calum reveals that he's had struggles with drugs, hinting at a troubled experience as a young adult.

While Calum brushes his teeth

SOPHIE (O.S.)

I don’t know. Don’t you ever feel

just, like, I don’t know. Like when

you’ve been on a real high, like

something’s been amazing, and then

you kind of crash. And feel like

you’re kind of...sinking or

something like that. It’s weird. I

don’t know.

Calum listens. He avoids his own gaze now...

Of course, Calum can relate. He is probably bipolar, hence, the Tai-Chi, deep breathing, all of that intention to calm himself, suppress his depression.

CALUM

You never know where you’ll end up

though. You can live wherever you

want to live. Be whoever you want

to be.

The camera pans across to Calum’s empty bed.

CALUM (O.S.) (CONT'D)

You have time.

The intimation that he doesn't have much more time.

CALUM

I’m so sorry, Soph. Yesterday.

SOPHIE

It’s fine, Dad. No big deal.

CALUM

It is a big deal. I’m sorry. I’m

sorry.

In my view, this is the point where Calum realizes, subconsciously or not, that he is going to end his life. He has tried his hardest to be a good father ... to reclaim that place in Sophie's eyes ... but in the end, he feels like he has failed. It cements his overwhelming sense that his whole life has been a failure.

Clues. A bunch of clues in his dialogue and behavior which point to his inevitable death.

We, the audience, live with the growing sense of the inevitable throughout the movie. It's such a sad, bittersweet, and emotionally gut-wrenching story.
