After Rita is found dead in a church she used to attend, the official investigation into the incident is quickly closed. Her sickly mother is the only person still determined to find the culprit. Chronicling a difficult journey across the suburbs of the city, an old debt and a revealing conversation, Elena Knows unravels the secrets of its characters and the hidden facets of authoritarianism and hypocrisy in our society.

  • Arooma Zehrahas quoted2 years ago
    Do you think that Rita thought she was going to inherit my illness?, she asks. No, I think she couldn’t stand that you had it. She never said that. Sometimes it’s easier to shout than to cry
  • Arooma Zehrahas quoted2 years ago
    She’d choose Rita’s insults over her absence any day but she knows that it doesn’t matter what she’d choose because death has taken away her ability to choose. Her daughter is dead.
