The scene shows Alexander travelling, but with a narration by his sister and flashbacks of photos. His sister talks about how his father was secretly still married to his first wife, and had had another son after Alexander had been born. Flashbacks of photos are show of Alexander and his sister young, and she spoke about how their parents were hiding his father’s secret family. This caused Alexander confused, and angry, and pretended he didn’t know with his sister. It’s a very significant scene as it shows parts of Alexander’s young life, starting with a flashback of him being happy, washing his car after he just bought it, and basically being a bit silly. Another very prominent part is when his sister states “it completely changed his childhood” as Alexander buries old books he was taking with him, just as he buried his old life, showing a split effect.
