Theme: What is it?

I don't understand. I know it sounds simple because we have heard it our whole lives, but everyone always give me a different answer as to what it means!

I have this question:
What is the theme in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"

You don't have to answer it, I just need help understanding :)
