The Anguish of Life
Of course, they are fighting as usual. Anna Seniuk as Leviva and Janusz Gajos as Yona, in the cosmos of marital coexistence.
They are equal opponents. After a few dozen years of practice, they know that in marriage a lot can be said and forgiven. A tired couple in Hanoch Levin’s tragicomedy experiences disappointment, attachment, blame, regrets and irritation at passing time and being old. Solitude would be so peaceful. But in fact, we only have each other.
