I need a hug

It's not easy these days.

On Saturday a plane crushed near Smolensk killing 97 Polish government officials including a President and his wife. This kind of news leaves you in a state of shock.How such a terrible thing could have happened? Why did they land instead of going to the safer airport where there was no fog? The plane was old, the small mostly closed for landing airport was not prepared for accurate navigation. Was is the place and the time that wasn't right. Is the land forever forsaken for it's previous monstrous killings of Polish elite 70 years ago and just wants to be left in peace? It is a horrible news for Poland and even more horrible for the families that are left here to mourn after their relatives and friends. I am so sad it happened and offer my condolences to the ones left behind.

My parents came back to Wroclaw today. It was so good to have them here ...I miss them all the time. I saw them today and next time I will see them in August in Poland. I can't wait. It was our first Easter with my parents in Dublin. They were here for two weeks and helped us a lot as we got a tummy bug and later a cold. I would never have managed taking care of sick Nataniel, Nikodem and being sick myself. So my dear parents thank you for being here and see you next time (bugs and colds are not welcome to take part).

While my parents were here we managed to see "Samson and Delilah" and "A girl with a dragon tattoo". The first one was in IFI so the atmosphere was magical. Before the movie we had a pint a cheese plate in the IFI's cafe and it was delicious. The movie was by Australian director Warwick Thornton and took place mostly in a desert of his homeland. The main characters were natives living in a desert. The boredom and simplicity of living were striking especially as I am used to big cities and opportunities they offer. For me an opportunity for them a scare. There was almost no dialogue. The face expressions and the harsh land said it all.Very interesting take on Australia we are not used to see.
"The girl with a dragon tattoo" was our first time in Lighthouse cinema. It also belongs to the network of "European cinemas" as The IFI or the ACF in Wroclaw so very high marks from us even before entering the building. I wanted to see this movie as this is an adaptation of the Stieg's Larsson's novel with the same title. I wanted to see the Swedish version before Americans make their own one. It was as watching a criminal from the 70ties.The language was amazing. I love how Swedish language sounds. The movie was a bit too long but even if I knew what will happen in the end it made ma sit on the edge of the seat almost to the very last minute. The other thing: Don't they have prettier actors in Sweden? In comparison with American movies where everyone is beautiful this was very striking and realistic. All in all the movie was a good experience for the language and landscape maybe not really to be remembered for the future generations.
