In the conversation between Luciana and Alessandro's father, he expresses the profound sense of loss that accompanies the death of one's parents. He feels a deep betrayal because, as he grows to love his own children more, he recognizes that this love distances him from the memories of his parents. The sadness of having to leave his children, despite the pull of his past, highlights the emotional complexity of familial love and loyalty.

Alessandro tries to reassure his father, suggesting that they can address these issues later. However, his father reveals a poignant truth: some problems, particularly those surrounding loss and the passage of time, are uniquely difficult and may never find resolution. This reflects a deeper understanding of how love can create both connection and conflict, emphasizing the intricate ties that bind generations together amidst the inevitability of change.
