Anna

Anna

1979 · 8 min · ★ 5.0

The words "My beloved Anna..." appear on a piece of paper. Later, only a flickering flame of a candle is visible. The subtle vocals of Ola Maurer can be heard. This music constitutes a background for the reading of an affectionate love letter to a beloved person. All of a sudden, cracks the noise of a post-office clerk stamping documents. When it is taken away from the paper, the circumstances in which the letter was written become clear: the stamp has a form of the characteristic Nazi eagle with a swastika in its talons and the sign below says - Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.
