Nostalghia (1983), dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

Suffering.

“There is no consolation for suffering except considering it against the background of the 'other world'.
And this, indeed, is fundamentally the only correct point of view. If this world alone exists, then everything in it is absolute nonsense: separation, sickness, innocent suffering, death. But all these acquire a meaning in that ocean of life that invisibly washes the small island of our earthly being.
Which of us has not experienced the breath of other worlds in dreams, in prayer?
When a man finds in himself the power to acquiesce in the ordeal sent him by God, he achieves great progress in his spiritual life.”

―Elchaninov, A. The Diary of a Russian Priest. St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1982.
