I allow myself the luxury of beginning this column by excerpting part of the dialogue from what for me is the most emotional moment of Messiah, a conversation between Cecilia (Amaia, national fame) and Enric (kneeling to Roger Casamajor). , which takes place in Chapter 6 and aired last week: “What’s it like outside?” -Alright. -Have you been to New York? – Yes. – And to the ballet? – Also. -And you have many friends? -Many. -Yes? -Yes. – But be careful, good friends can be counted on the fingers of one hand. – And did they break your heart? -Many times. – Then you must have fallen in love… – Yes. – And of course you must have kissed a few girls… – A few. – The world must be great.
When I saw it almost two months ago, it reminded me of the sequence from Entre tinieblas where Sister Alley Rat (Chus Lampreave) asks her sister how the street is, convinced that life outside the monastery is different now, and she replies: “These are nuns’ fantasies, you are crazy, because since you don’t go out on the streets, you believe that things happen on the streets, but nothing happens on the streets.” Of course, Enric is much more benevolent towards his imprisoned sister.
I watched the episode again a few days ago and remembered it when I saw Escucha, Junqueras, the Salvados program broadcast on Sunday, in which the president of the ERC sat in front of several citizens who were against the amnesty, so that they could exchange their points of view. How is it outside? How do we know if we can’t even agree on what’s outside or inside the law? I also thought about this a lot when I saw the riots in Ferraz. Please take me back to my monastery. Where are we who are neither here nor here? Come on, nothing is happening on the road, Sister Rata.
