[Quote from Michael Almayreda’s 1994 black and white vampire film "Nadja" ]

[Nadja]
"No. See how you bury the primary pain
It goes underground
It seeps into the water supply
You're poisoned
All your relationships are poisoned
You must dare to dredge up the primary pain."

[Lucy]
"What good would it do?"

[Nadja]
"It frees you. For myself, I'm not afraid of anything
It's true, life is full of pain but the pain I feel is the pain of fleeting joy."
