Ponekad se osjećam jako usamljeno iako je oko mene mnogo ljudi. Nekako prolaze oko mene, a nikako da se zadrže u mom životu i da bar na trenutak zavire u neki djelić onoga što osjećam i želim.
Jutros sam nakon novogodišnjih praznika sjeo sa prijateljem u kafanu i ispričao se sa njim bez imalo zadrške. To su trenuci kada sam srećan što imam nekoga ko me dobro poznaje. Nije gej, ali me poznaje bolje od većine njih sa kojima se kao nešto družim i postavljao mi je pitanja na koja većini ljudi ne bih nikada odgovorio.

Neki dan sam pričao sa nekim gejevcem preko sajta romeo. Jadao mi se kako ne može da nađe nekoga sa kim bi bio blizak. Rekoh mu da bi sa nekim bio blizak, mora za početak da bude iskren. Na to mi je odgovorio kako ne želi da bude iskren i da odmah na početku otvori sve karte o sebi.
Vjerovatno mu je lakše da neznancu otvori sopstveno dupe i upozna nečiju kitu nego da upozna onog ko nosi tu kitu koju sa takvim zadovoljstvom prima.
I tako zatvorene duše i otvorenog dupeta prolaze mu dani u samoći.
Solo nije film o geju koji lakše otvara dupe nego dušu, ali nam kroz jednu dirljivu priču prikazuje odnos između dva usamljena čovjeka.

Have you ever felt alone even though you are surrounded by people?
Solo, a movie directed and written by Ana Maria Saad and Geison Ferreira, talks about loneliness, which, contrary to what most people think has got nothing to do with being alone but rather with a feeling of emptiness and solitude, even when in other people´s company. That sensation can turn into something really bad if their reasons are not identified and eliminated.
Geison Ferreira, who came up with the idea of the movie, believed during his childhood and adolescence that to be someone it was necessary to be anyone but him. The low self-esteem – resulted from the maltreatment he suffered from people who were supposed to give him love and care – made him engaged in isolation behavior and he started to believe he was the worst person on Earth. Watching films gave him comfort, as he realized that “a film can be someone´s best friend, because it shows possibilities in life without being judgemental. No right or wrong”. He then became aware of what loneliness was and discovered the beauty of being unique, learning that moments of isolation are necessary for self knowledge and personal growth, and that doesn´t have to be sad and bad.
