Unexpected parallels with Alchemised
I happened to watch Onegin (1999) recently and there was this heart breaking scene at the end where they declare love for each other but they can never be together. It’s so gut wrenching because you desperately want them to find happiness but also realise that within the constraints of that society it would never be possible, and anything different would be a lie.

Anyway, somehow it reminded me of what I felt reading some parts of Alchemised. These are two very different stories of course but they both have this feeling of… I don’t know, perhaps inevitability, sadness and fighting for what you know is a lost cause.. And the soundtrack from that movie scene could fit Alchemised playlist very well!
