loneliness is eternity

In Krakow's Main Market Square in 1990, there was a parade about hyperinflation, and the wind blew Weronika's score. When she picked up the swirling sheet music, she looked up and saw another her in the world.
The first half of the story is Weronika in Poland and the second half is Véronique in France.
Weronika with long hair and Véronique with short hair.
It was Weronika who chose to sing and died suddenly, and Véronique who chose ordinary and gave up ideals.

But Véronique is Weronika, although one is high and the other is stable.
They have the same hair color and the same pupil.
They wear the same straps on their wrists.
They also lost their mother when they were young and lived with their father.
They all love to sing, like "Song to Heaven" in the Divine Comedy.
They both love to see the world using transparent bouncy balls with stars embedded in them.
Their lips are prone to chapped, so carry lip balm with them.
They are all used to scraping their lower eyelids with rings.
They both fall in love with a lover whose name begins with A.
They have all been associated with Room 287 of the Holiday Inn.
They both caught a glimpse of a hobbled old woman outside the window.
Their only encounter was on Krakow Square.

People are born lonely and always hope for a special family or love, or something like that in the movies.
However, even if there is another you in the world, you always live in different places and cannot meet each other, or you have changed from living in different places to living and dying.

"Please go back to your own familiar homeland, don't follow my adventures and drift into the vast ocean, lest you lose me and get lost
I want to cross the ocean that no one has crossed but I have the goddess Minerva blowing me I have Apollo piloting the nine muses to show the Ursa to guide the direction" And
Weronika died of art.
Sensing Weronika's death, Véronique finally returned to the world, reborn Back to loneliness.

The Double Life of Véronique quotes

  • Weronika: Is that me?

    Alexandre Fabbri: Of course it's you.

    Weronika: Why two?

    Alexandre Fabbri: Because during performances I handle them a lot. They damage easily.

  • Alexandre Fabbri: [kissing Veronique's forehead when she's lying upside down on his bed] Let's check and see if we're still bad for each other.
