ELIF AND THE RAIN
"The text seems necessary to me precisely because we live in a society in which individualism is the main ethical imperative, in which the Other has no value except to the extent that it can represent a means to achieve profit. I chose this text because it presents the immigrant's condition from two perspectives. The personal, human one, of the fears, of the torture given by this situation in which it is < > to exist in a place, of love, of searching for a < >, of the ways in which Elif colors this alienating existence. And the other, which is the political perspective, of man who is only worth as much as he can produce. Of man as a tool of work and nothing more. And especially, of a bureaucratic system built to ensure that someone like Elif will never be able to obtain the rights necessary to overcome the condition of a simple tool of work, will never be able to live as a human being.” (Alex Ianăși)
