    Personal Project -

    Working on a television drama series about a man who copes with the lost of his girl friend in a car accident. endless moments of depression, endless moments of excuses to be depressed. He doesn’t want to give away any of her stuff; he wants to kick them all away. The family, the friends… "it's not all about you, you know?!  Some of us are still having our own fucked up life, even if no one has just died for us". One point shifted, and now there is a whole movement who clashes.

Billie, a winsome young actress ruled more by her heart than her head, has sought out the mother who gave her up at birth. She finds Anna, a chic and successful forty-something with a nice line in black linen suits, whose pregnancy as a teenager at the end of the sixties was a shame to her family. Meeting for the first time in Anna's apartment, which resembles nothing so much as the waiting room in a Harley Street clinic, the two women attempt a reconciliation, Anna delicately side-stepping the younger woman's unashamed need for love with embarrassed offers of tea.

1911. Europe. 3 women (3 Jewish women we should actually say) were headed down east – To Marienbad – one of the most magnificent, splendid, gorgeous, and fancy sanatorium there is.

One is very young (therefore has just married someone very old) , and the other two are very…are very… (well, maybe there are things better left on without saying).

So anyhow, our 3 little  women (Jewish women, as we have just said… and yes. It is important)  they were all looking for the same quiet peaceful lovely vacation, so they can do what you have to do when you go to a sanatorium (without anyone knowing that you do what you do) and that – dieting, polishing, scrubbing, brushing, shaving… and all the other wonderful things that make you glow (a minute before you faint) .

On the top of all of that, was standing the most interesting thing, the real goal – finding an amazing, beautiful, one of a kind…. – Lover!  (yes. Yes. They were all Jewish women. Now you see why we keep mentioning it…).

Oh, maybe we forgot to say something– each one of them arrived on her own, not expecting to meet anyone she knows so far from home (besides our romantic lover boy, whom you really wants to know more and more and…)

 

"… so I'm asking you – she wants to make it her business,  but what business is it of hers!? or should I say - what she has to do with what I have to do when she is now doing it also herself!? "

Between dangling in the lake to sinking in therapeutic springs, between drinking exceptional juice (fabulous juice, of course fabulous. And very tasteful too) and amusing themselves in mysterious ways…they were all still writing letters to their husbands. Husbands that were left (lucky for them) back home. Poland, Lodge, if you must know. A lovely place indeed.

Writing, fighting, arguing…:

"… no Shaya…no. excuse me. Really excuse me, But have I ever blamed you in anything!?  Have you ever heard me blaming you in anything!?  Have I ever said that you are to be blamed!?   No. no. no Shaya. you have never heard me blaming you , because you are not to be blamed. no Shaya, you have nothing to be blamed for. No… it's me! It's me that has to be blamed! It's stupid me, that doesn’t understand, after 32 years of marriage, that my husband can't manage doing anything by himself, because I trained him to be a bummer!..."
