“When I want to whistle, I whistle. That means I would do Anything to get where I want.I am begging everybody, I am humiliating myself I let people spit in my face, but I would do anything, and if by begging,by trying to get the minimum of understanding, I canu0026#39;t do it, then I can give up all the chances of happiness I still have left. Living in the post communist Romania can be a bigger drama for an individual, but that drama is hidden and digs dipper and dipper because itu0026#39;s not shared by anyone. Your mother works in Italy because of financial reasons. She also discovers another world, things that she never had before, and by sending some money home she thinks sheu0026#39;s making it up. After her son gets to be institutionalised…she doesnu0026#39;t want to feel the guilt so she pretends to forget. Whou0026#39;s drama is this one?Silviuu0026#39;s?his motheru0026#39;s? his brotheru0026#39;s? Everyones!!! But only Silviu feels the burden, only he wants to change something. It is not the result, but his spirit that matter. His spirit is alive, and everybody else is peacefully pleased with the same old. Institutionalized sanity. His sanity manifests itself as insanity in an insane society… Thereu0026#39;s a strong silence, sometimes we can even listen to it and understand it.”
