Biggest Unanswered Questions In Skinamarink

As "Skinamarink" begins, we are immediately immersed in the bizarre tone and visuals of the film. This largely consists of atmospheric shots of a late-'90s suburban home, complete with an old school television and kids' toys. These items are used largely by Kevin, one of the two children that the film follows for its majority. During the film's opening scenes, we're given a faint glimpse of Kevin's typical evening rituals: watching old cartoons and playing with his Legos. However, the film's first major incident occurs when, in the middle of the night, Kevin appears to injure himself while sleepwalking.

We say "appears to," as that's what we're told shortly afterward by Kevin's father, who's calling someone on the phone to inform them of it. In a brief call, he mentions that Kevin fell down the stairs and that thankfully he won't require any stitches. However, this is quite dubious as, given the film's bizarre format, we aren't definitely shown the incident in full. All we hear is something resembling a slamming sound and Kevin crying, followed by footsteps which could be his father or Kaylee. Did Kevin really fall down the stairs or is this the first sign that Kevin, as well as Kaylee, are subjected to abuse from their father?
