The Sea Inside – The Stories of O.

„When I’m in the mood, I concentrate and I walk out to the sea. I fly there”

HellO, WOrld!

Ovidiu Muresanu Sea Inside — „Out to sea. Out to sea, and in the weightlessness of the deep where dreams come true, two souls unite to fulfill a single wish. Your gaze and mine, over and over like an echo, repeating silently: „Deeper, and deeper,” beyond everything that is flesh and blood. But I always awaken and I always wish for death, my lips forever entangled in your hair.”

Maybe you haven’t seen yet „The Sea Inside„, the amazing movie with Javier Bardem in the leading role, but even so, I’m sure that you love the sea as much as the main character of the movie did. In a very touching way, „The Sea Inside” presents the real story of Ramon Sampedro, a quadriplegic activist fighting for his right to die, after three decades of agonizing immobility.

In fact, it’s a story about freedom, about the right to decide how to live your life or how or when to die. It’s the story of everyone of us, who felt at one moment the stupidity and absurdity of a system in which we are forced to live. It’s the story of everyone who fights for freedom, even if they have a different skin color, a different gender, a handicap or a different sexuality. Because if the society punish you for what you are, your life is quite simmilar with the one of Ramon Sampedro. You can’t experience freedom. You are quadrilplegic of feelings. That’s why I will always fight for freedom. And I hope you will do the same. Because „a life without freedom is not life”, as Ramon says in the movie.

So, I will wait for you on Saturday, to say NO to discrimination. Say YES to freedom!

„Cateodata, cand ma concentrez, merg pana la mare. Zbor pana acolo.”

Poate ca nu ati vazut pana acum „Mar Adentro”, superbul film cu Javier Bardem in rolul principal, insa sunt sigur ca si voi sunteti indragostiti de mare, la fel ca personajul pe care-l interpreteaza. E drept, e o poveste trista, povestea reala a lui Ramon Sampedro, un activist cvadriplegic ce lupta pentru dreptul lui la eutanasie dupa 30 de ani de imobilizare totala si agonizanta la pat.

De fapt, este un film despre libertate, despre dreptul de a alege cum sa ne traim viata sau, de ce nu, sa decidem cand si cum vrem sa murim. Este un film tulburator al istoriei oricaruia dintre noi care ne-am lovit la un moment dat in viata de stupiditatea si absurditatea sistemului in care suntem fortati sa traim. Este povestea oricaruia dintre cei care lupta pentru dreptul la libertate, indiferent de culoarea pielii, gen, handicap sau orientare sexuala. Pentru ca atata timp cat societatea te arata cu degetul sau te pedepseste pentru ceea ce esti, atunci viata ta este destul de asemanatoare cu cea a lui Ramon Sampedro. Nu ai cum sa experimentezi libertatea pe care cei din jurul tau o au. Esti un cvadriplegic al sentimentelor. De aceea o sa lupt mereu pentru libertate. Pentru ca, asa cum spune Ramon, „o viata fara libertate nu e viata.”

Te invit si pe tine alaturi de mine.

Spune NU discriminarii, Spune DA libertatii. Sambata, la Arcul de Triumf. La ora 4.

LOve,
