Some words from a Majorcan woman

I'm a receptionist myself and I was wondering how one of us will see this film, and worse, how are we portrayed in this. Really, I don't think it would make me laugh...I know some majorcans were offended by this film, maybe because for some of us -I hope so- this is not funny at all, but I'm afraid it's sadly true.

I know what Majorca is for germans: a strange part of Germany where they and some english people can do what they want, with some slaves that luckily live and work there, and are all at your feet. They must speak german or english -or both- perfectly or they must be fired and have an instant solution for the many problems that they surely can't avoid in those old and dirty hotels that were built in seventies and sixties, bearing attitudes of pride and despise towards them, for miserable salaries and only six months working, added that in winter, the island is closed for the majorcans; you get bored to death, because all is for the "guiris", you're the last one in your own place...if all this appears in the movie, I'll be glad to see it, but if this film is to tell the world once more that Majorca is ours and they can't do anything about it, I'd rather be knocked down before seeing this sure masterpiece of *beep*

OK, it's true, we can't do anything about it, there's too many powerful people getting rich there, destroying our island, its landscape and its resources, even its citizens; but don't ask me to like that or accept it without saying a single word. No, Danke Schön.

Perhaps is for this that I'm leaving Majorca this year, I can't carry seeing that, I´m so sad and fed up about it all. I'll feel better in another city of Spain, where it almost makes sense being a stranger in paradise.

I would like to see a movie criticising this situation, german or whatever.

Let us go then, you and I,
