The woman leaves the house, taking with her a bunch of keys. Her son is sitting on the shore in a boat. He is worried about something, looking for her support, at the same time demanding to give him the keys to the house. It takes a lot of effort for a mother to find the right words, realize the recent quarrel with her husband and promise the boy to return back to her husband. A step from the boat to the shore for both is a symbol of finding the ground under their feet, returning to a harmonious world.
