Wow! Haha very meaningful short film ! ❤️ he felt no motivation to write. No happiness from within that inspired him. He felt lost in his head, confused, frustrated he felt he had no control. The woman Tereza is probably someone in the past that cared for him. Could be, girl friend or just a friend. But deep down inside he felt guilt he cut ties with her. He felt regretful. Writing to Tereza made him feel inspired. His fingers worked perfectly! However, it was too late. The relationship weathered away. However, in the ending he feels hope. It’s never too late ❤️

She use the excuse to write a letter to Boles to call the guy attention. He was lonely and she also was lonely. Both needed LOVE and companion. Nobody appreciate what they have or can have until they loose it.THAT IS THE MESSAGE. Man always too slow to understand woman feelings. By the time they wake up pufff the dream is vanished.

its based on the short story Her Lover by Maxim Gorky. In the book he keeps writing her letters and she mends the holes in his pants and socks. She tells him she needs love in the world and maybe Boles really is out there somewhere. Eventually she is put in prison for some sort of crime then it flashes forward into the future and he states she is probably dead by then.

Прочитала я, значит, после этого рассказ Горького, который, к слову, так и называется - "Болесь"... Что ж, главную мысль они донесли, с первого просмотра в принципе понятно, что всё завязано на проблеме человеческого одиночества, сострадания к ближнему; очень понравилось, как органично вплели тему писательства и вдохновения ради образа главного героя, ну и конец приятно удивил, в котором действительно "той самой" Терезы не существует, а её место теперь уже занимает паренёк, тоже нуждающийся в своём "Болесе"....может, даже больше, чем кто-либо... и именно на это был намёк/подсказка в самом начале, в сцене с почтовыми ящиками..

soy el comentario en español que buscaste. voy a traducir un comentario que explica el corto: está basado en el cuento Her Lover de Maxim Gorky. En el libro, él sigue escribiendo sus cartas y ella repara los agujeros de sus pantalones y calcetines. Ella le dice que necesita amor en el mundo y tal vez boles realmente esté ahí fuera en alguna parte. Finalmente, la encarcelan por algún tipo de crimen, luego se adelanta hacia el futuro y él afirma que probablemente esté muerta para entonces. otro comentario: Ella usa la excusa para escribir una carta a Boles para llamar la atención del chico. Él estaba solo y ella también. Ambos necesitaban AMOR y compañía. Nadie aprecia lo que tiene o puede tener hasta que lo suelten. ESE ES EL MENSAJE. El hombre siempre es demasiado lento para comprender los sentimientos de la mujer. Para cuando se despiertan, el sueño se ha desvanecido.
