This train station in northern Romania is
known as the station
of despair. Here
gather many orphaned children who live
life on the tough
terms it has presented
them with. They are poor and have
nothing to eat. In order
to assuage their hunger
pains, they sniff Aurolac (paint
thinner). Only when high
can they forget their
problems for a little while at least.
This, although they
all realize that they are
destroying their minds and bodies. |
This unforgiving film depicts the lives of
children who have
lost all. They have no
parents, they have no goals, no dreams.
They are just
trying to survive one more
day. The explanation of their feelings
by the leader of the
prostitution ring made
a deep impression on me. It was like
sharp blade slicing
my breast. That showed
how
earnest the video artist was in
approaching their work
and in addressing this
grave social problem. |
