Quoted By:
EL is a poignant story about happiness that was not destined to come true. It is to cry for the life in which everything could be – joy, friendship, love – but which did not take place. It did not take place because the world is cruel, people are evil, there are insurmountable circumstances, there are mistakes that can no longer be corrected, and guilt that can not be redeemed.
EL is a story about falling and redemption, about crime and punishment, about hatred and forgiveness.
EL – about how all life – all that was in it that did not come true, all the thirst for love, all longing for the failed happiness, all the pain, hatred and loneliness converge in one point, in a moment, hangs in the balance and breaks.
EL – that every living thing needs warmth and love, and about what becomes of life if it is deprived of warmth and love.
EL - about how, that despair and hope, brutality and desire to love, hatred and a plea for forgiveness always go hand in hand.
As it should be in a real tragedy, EL has no right and no blame. There are survivors. There are no simple solutions – right or wrong. Any possible solution here is unacceptable in its own way, forcing a person to turn himself inside out. There is no banal morality here. There is only sometimes shocking frankness of his observation of human psychology. There is no good or evil here. There is only a desire to live.
