Europa's strengths are muddled by its lack of identity.
Disappointing was my companion's vegetarian paelha, which tried to avail itself of the virtues of both the soup and the risotto but ended up somewhere in the muddled middle, leaving its otherwise respectable components--such as parsnips, carrots and mushrooms--somewhat stranded.

 Possibility of Life on Europa
Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, appears to be one of the few places that we might find extraterrestrial life in our solar system (the others being Mars and Titan, a moon of Saturn).
If there is life on Europa, it will exist in an ice covered ocean and could cluster around hot springs in the ocean floor and resemble life forms known to exist under similar conditions on Earth.
The idea that Europa and other ice-covered bodies in our solar system might possess an ocean of liquid water under a crust of ice may have first been proposed by John S. Lewis in his paper Satellites of the Outer Planets: Their Physical and Chemical Nature (which appeared in Icarus,  vol.15, 1971).

 Perel's Perils
In a 1993 interview Agnieszka Holland stated, “I don't feel at home in Poland… in a sense I'm homeless, and that is the most natural condition in the world today.”  When she made Europa Europa in 1991, a German/French co-production shot in Poland, she literalised this statement.
Europa Europa seems to be an allegory for the Jewish experience of modern Europe — the uprooted Perel searches for a home, taking refuge in alternate ideologies and national identities.
Indeed, the double Europa of the title refers not only to the divided Europe decimated by totalitarianism, but also to the divided morality of Europeans, torn between culture and barbarism.

 Europa Europa (Import) - prisjämförelse
A pivotal moment in contemporary European cinema that confirmed the arrival of a major new talent in Polish-born director Agnieszka Holland, Europa, Europa is a passionate, thrilling and heartfelt film about the tragic experience of Jews during the Second World War and a dizzying meditation on the paradoxes of role-playing.
The film's telling ironies and tragic absurdities are all the more unsettling for being based on the real-life exploits of Solomon Perel, a young German Jew who cultivates a chameleonic ability to assume identities in order to avert the fate of his fellow Jews.
First posing as a fervent young Stalinist, Perel - who harbored aspirations to be Clark Gable - then becomes an accepted and respected member of the Nazi Youth, burying his true background in a desperate bid for survival.
