This one was really hard. It was hard to tell what the thing actually represented in our lives. Anyway I might be wrong but I will try my best on this one. It is in 3rd person and takes place in umm... Australia because of the accent. But it could be anywhere. I think the symbol is the lost things, which I believe that they represent as people's imagination. The conflict is the people vs their imagination or imagination vs the society. What I believe this movie tried to say was that when we are young, we believe in anything even if it is imagination, however as we get older, we think in terms of theories that we no longer believe in our imaginations.
Maybe the reason why the boy found the place for the lost thing was that he no longer needed or wanted his imagination in order to grow up.
