Exactly what happened at the end?


I was watching this film for the first time last night but
missed the ending - I saw a scene where they were annointing
each other with water, then Meryl Streep crying but missed all
of the dialogue. Obviously the family had split up but was any
reason given?

They just disappeared never to be heard from again. It was speculated they ended on or living near the streets working for very little.

Can you fly this plane?
Surely you can't be serious.

Yes, the narration tells the end, from the point of view of the boy as a man. Next time it's on, listen till the end.

In the play it's stated that Agnes and Rose lived in London in poverty. Agnes died first and Rose ended up in a hospice for the destitute. Michael eventually found her but she doesn't recognise him

I'm gonna die of long hair!
