	Es ist das Bild einer radikalen Entfremdung, und, wie der Regisseur sagt, ein Film "über das Wort Elend, das ursprünglich einfach 'im anderen Land leben' bedeutete, dann 'in der Fremde' hieß und einen immer schlechteren Klang bekam". [G]	It's a portrayal of radical alienation and, as the director puts it, a film "about the word Elend [ie 'misery'], which originally meant simply 'living in another land', then came to mean 'in foreign parts' and eventually took on a worse and worse resonance."
