In addition, sameEuro Space1973 public works in the retrospective at"The Spirit of the Beehive"は、スペインの映画監督ビクトル・エリセの長編第１作。舞台は内戦終結直後の1940年スペイン。巡回映写で映画「フランケンシュタイン」を見た少女アナが、姉イザベルに、フランケンシュタインは実際に村のはずれの一軒家に隠れていると聞いて、その話を信じ込む、というストーリーだ。妹に嘘を教えて遊ぶ9歳のイザベルと、姉の言葉を信じ込む6歳のアナ。そしてとうとう、アナは井戸のある家でフランケンシュタインを発見する。 一見リアリティのない設定なのに、圧倒的な説得力で見るものを動揺させる本作。それは、アナの真っ黒で大きな瞳が、まるで真実を探し出すかのように、あまりにもまっすぐに前を見据えているせいだ。頭の中でどれだけ論理的な言い訳を並べようとも、強く「信じる」ということ以上に説得力を持つことはない。アナの瞳を観ていると、子供だった自分が「信じる」気持ちを忘れ「虚構」を「現実」と打算的に区別して生きて行くようになったのは一体いつ頃だったのか、思いを馳せずはいられない。
