Moon - Season 1 | Episode 5 - Where All the Moons Cycle

One needs to explain that mechanism. Essentially it was a rectangular shape, a plastic box, with a bulb and the magnifier glass. Yes, sort of a projector. It could project to any relatively closer, smooth surface, of course. The communist-era children called it Diafilm. One was to put the film – which had slides and go ahead – turn, look, tell, turn again… He remembered that equipment from childhood. Even later, when grown up, they had the version of it. He then showed the stories to his younger sister…

There was that story about… The emperor and the nightingale… Or so he remembers now. Why that thing emerging now with the first reminiscences of the mood… He couldn’t really understand. The quality of those drawings were poor… He can’t even see any moon when remembering it now, but somehow that is stuck in his head as associated with the moon… Nightingale… Emperor… Moon… Night…

It’s that new apartment already where his parents have moved to live happily. Separate apartment. Cold rooms, he remembers. That Diafilm, the story where he remembers the slides with the nightingale, some trees, perhaps there was the moon behind the trees… The emperor?.. That moon is not warm…

He can’t remember the moon from the days spent in the village… Not a single occasion that he remembers seeing the moon there. Strange, as he does remember the stars, the nights…

The moon is also in that gecko game, with the play-system – whatever they called it… It was Panasonic, got from the neighbor, the friend – the one friend he would idealize and pray for and the one he thought was the only friend of that time. So many nights, writings, prayers, letters, feelings… Call it love or friendship or bromance, or mania, or desperation… Call it anything… The same person, many – some 20 years later – he would block on the phone, ignore, avoid, hate, be ashamed to have revealed to him so much… Regretting the truth, regretting the time spent, feeling hurt and wishing to delete and erase him, and the two others too he became friends with after him…

That is a different story, from the different time, from other person. That person was dreaming to have all his best and loved people next to him. He had his wish coming true. They were sitting around the coffee table at his apartment. He was speechless – he had his love, his best friends, – all of them – four guys around him… His wish came true… Some years later most are blocked, ignored… His love remains, but the feeling of being abandoned by him too is creeping and hurting every second… Love remains.

Strange times, strange time, strange to understand that it comes and goes, it is cycle, it changes – everything, everyone, his own wishes included. But that’s later. Back to the moon drawn in the video-game and playing Panasonic console… There it was. The moon… No, not warm.
