| Plot: | "Adam Resurrected" follows the story of Adam Stein, a charismatic patient at a mental institution for Holocaust survivors in Israel, 1961. He reads minds and confounds his doctors, lead by Nathan Gross. Before the war, in Berlin, Adam was an entertainer--cabaret impresario, circus owner, magician, musician--loved by audiences and Nazis alike until he finds himself in a concentration camp, confronted by Commandant Klein. Adam survives the camp by becoming the Commandant's "dog", entertaining him while his wife and daughter are sent off to die. Years later we find him at the Institute. One day, Adam smells something, hears a sound. "Who brought a dog in here?" he asks Gross. Gross denies there is a dog but Adam finds him--a young boy raised in a basement on a chain. Adam and the boy see and recognize each other as dogs--and their journey begins. "Adam Resurrected" is the story of a man who once was a dog who meets a dog who once was a boy. |

Quotes

[last lines] Adam Stein: I live in a lovely valley, but the heights are gone forever. There are no more frightful deserts, and I no longer leap into the fire, I am afraid I will get burned. Sanity is pleasant and calm, but there is no greatness, no true joy, nor the awful sorrow that slashes the heart. [first lines] Adam Stein: I had once the beautiful Father Land. The oak tree grew so high there. Silence nodded softly. It was a dream. It kissed me in German. It spoke in German. You would hardly believe how good it sounded. The words, Ich liebe dich, I love you. It *was* a dream... Adam Stein: Who let a dog in here? Commandant Klein: Sergant, take Heir Stein to Rex's pen. No Adam, on all fours, it's funnier dat way. Gina Grey: There are rules, Adam! Adam Stein: Compassion. Mercy. Nurse, what happened to the... Gina Grey: You break the tiniest rule, you break the entire system. Adam Stein: Write it down? Write it to whom, God? God is out to lunch. He left a note, see it on your arm. Adam Stein: A dog barks. But a dog barking on a stage is no longer a dog. This bottle for instance. I pour, I raise this glass to my mouth, and I swallow. Mmm. But am I really drinking? Or am I playing a man who is drinking? Adam Stein: You of all people should know what I am trying to teach these people. The artifice. The necessary lie that we all needed to survive. Rabbi Lichtenstein: Your daughter, the older one, Lotte. Did you ever try to locate her? Such a cheerful presence. Adam Stein: She's dead. We both are. What's the point? If you have to know, ya? I did, for 4 years. I looked. I put von Handle's money to good use, believe me. Then it dawned on me, Rabbi, if she was alive then it was she that was not looking for me. She'd be 25 this year. She would have heard about the antics of her famous father, who was once a dog, who is now not much of anything. And who in the world could blame her if she chose to be - silent. Rabbi Lichtenstein: You survived. It's not a crime. A crime is to blame yourself instead of them. David: I thought you left me. Adam Stein: I was here all the time. David: You went away... David: I'm back. |
