I believe it is about Waters--his father died when Roger was very young and
he never got much of a chance to meet him--this is where the whole scene in
the movie where he is trying on his Father's uniform comes from. Also, his
mother was very domineering and he did have problems with his wife. Who
knows? Maybe it's indirectly about Syd.
