Abstract:

Pinipilahan, dinadagsa, at pinapangarap ng bawat manggagawang Pilipino ang ginhawang hatid ng Europa. Ang mataas na halaga ng Euro sa pandaigdigang palitan, kakaibang benepisyo, at ganda marahil ng lugar – ang ilang salik kung bakit hinihila tayong magtrabaho sa nasabing kontinente. Hindi malaon, naging bukambibig na ang ginhawang hatid ng Europa. Pagbubuo na kaya ito sa ating kamalayan ng penomenong European Dream? Kitang-kita naman sa kung papaano tinangkilik ng mga Pilipino ang Europa sa mga pinilahang pelikula na tumuon dito. Kaugnay nito, bukod tangi ang pelikula na nasa direksiyon ni Olivia Lamasan, lalo na ang Milan (2004) at Barcelona (2016) na nagtanghal at sumentro sa Italya at España – mga malalaking konsentrasyon ng Pilipino sa Europa. Mababakas sa bawat karakter, dayalog, at paggalaw ang tipikal na imahe ng lipunang Pilipinong nangangarap, nakikibaka, at nagbibigay ng ginhawa – sa Europa bilang lupain ng pangarap.
