The supporting roles are certainly important too, yet the novel’s power is based on the character of Emerenc, she is the one who should be presented to the viewers so that she stands for everything the readers feel while reading the novel. The power of human dignity and strength (Emerenc), the desire of love and acceptance (the authoress), understanding the other, the power of preserving the roots and tradition, the passion of helping others, the pride and the humiliation of pride, the tragedy of becoming defenceless are emotions appearing in the faces and the looks of both persons. In the case of THE DOOR the most difficult task for the director is to find the two actresses whose faces are capable of representing the features of the two protagonists’ characters by charismatic power and reflecting the radiation of the written work.
