Philosophical Questions
Can trauma be healed by romantic love?
The film suggests that love can be a catalyst for healing, as Nick protects Noah and helps her face her father. However, it also raises the question of dependency—is Noah healing, or is she finding a new protector?
Does shared trauma justify breaking social taboos?
The film posits that the bond formed through shared pain and understanding (Nick's abandonment, Noah's abuse) transcends the societal taboo of their step-sibling status, presenting their connection as inevitable fate rather than a choice.
Core Meaning
Healing Through Connection and Confrontation
At its heart, My Fault suggests that shared trauma can be a binding force even more powerful than shared blood or background. The film explores how two broken individuals—Noah, scarred by domestic abuse, and Nick, isolated by wealth and abandonment—find a dangerous but necessary sanctuary in each other. It posits that true freedom comes not from escaping one's past, but from finding a partner willing to drive into the storm alongside you.
