Hell on Earth: In a troubled world, Christians strive to put aside earthly worries on Christmas Day
Prosperous, mostly secular Europe marked the holiday in historic cathedrals and brightly lit holiday markets, with an undertone of tension spread by the war in Gaza and by one even closer to home in neighbouring Ukraine.

This means if some things were moving away, then long ago everything was close to every other thing, and most likely interconnected.

Weisberg wasn’t, but they kept talking about it, then figured out that Sam, played by Domhnall Gleeson, was in therapy: he wants to change. Then they had the idea that he kidnaps his therapist, and now it was a show – also a merciless examination of how unfree all us benighted humans are, manacled to our stupid psychologies and impediments, even when not literally manacled in a basement.
