The coward
(based on the journals of drug addicts)
“He was a difficult person. He was thinking, and acting differently, than the rest of us. Therefore we educated, socialized him. We made him docile and peaceful. We congratulated him, because he overtook himself. He also started to congratulate to himself. He didn’t notice, that we took over him...”
A young boy tells about his thoughts, feelings, about the paradox relation with his family, and about how he started to use drugs, and how he could manage to quit. And a father, who watches, hears, and lives along the story. Conversations and inner monologues, humorous and bitter situations situated in between the extraordinary turns of the life. Where could intentions slip away? Why do we choose the easier way, if we feel, that our life reached a dead end?
