      The brighter the light, the darker the shadow
      Very nice movie, which manages to refer to a very special and controversial issue without taking a clear position. The similarities between the two, completely different countries and how they try to prove their superiority by using the protagonist in their interest are terrible. Also terrible is the despair of the protagonist in his attempt to prove that he is not an elephant and to find his right constantly in the film.
