Part 8/10:

Clinging to Survival: The Archetype of Resilience

Throughout their harrowing ordeal, Michal and Selma embody both the chaos and resilience that defines the human experience in the face of disaster. Each grueling moment of their flight is marked by a desperate need for connection, sustenance, and safety, amidst the realization that societal structures may have crumbled, leaving individuals to fend for themselves.

Their journey leads them into a dire strait where the last flickers of hope seem extinguished, with Michal succumbing to exhaustion and Selma’s cries for help echoing through the desolation. Yet it is in this bleak world that they find a shred of salvation—military rescues, a shelter that offers mirages of safety, yet also realities filled with grief.
