Book excerpt: Living isn't easy, being young is even more difficult. We are all actors trying to make some sense out of life. After a painful incident, Elisabeth takes on a role she has crafted for herself yet, this decision has its flaws. Elisabeth took her mask too seriously, while suffocating underneath it, she offers us a humorous show that is as childish as it is profound. She is living in our society while defying it. Her approach to the world gives us the impression that she lives in a different universe, keeping her inner world separate from the outside world.
