I saw the brothers representing different parts of the psyche, as a whole all seeking love and spiritual healing...needing love,but not sure how to go about it.They were basically orphaned(as adults), their mother leaving them, father dying.I think Owen's character was the one trying to pull it together, but in a way which he learned from his mother...not exactly the tools that would work for them.I saw Owen's character representing the part of us that we show to the world, it was his outward appearance that needed healing, but his wounds were much deeper.

When they cast aside all thoughts about themselves and acted to save the 3 boys, that's when the healing began, not being wrapped in themselves and caring for others.Note only 2 boys were saved as well as Brody and Schwartzman.

Owen's character removes the bandages(archetypical behaviors) and realizes there is more healing, casting away old baggage they journey on as one.
