What does it make elegant to the hedgehog?

The hedgehog | Mona Achache | 2009

Abstract

If as Paloma says, the tragic heroine of this film: “We are all hedgehogs but we are not all elegant” we can ask ourselves, what made some ones being that way, and some ones not? The films, even in the XX1 century, even in the individualism era, still bet for emphasizing some meetings contingency to spoil the defenses which we live with.

Key words: Meetings | Defenses | Love | Feminity | Singularity

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: ¿Qué hace elegante al erizo?
