The most original aspect of Escartín, which gives his work a radical character, is a certain Olympian indifference to opinions conceived a priori as correct and his willingness to get to the bottom of things. That is why a short film with the curious title Amor (Love) is so important. It consists of an interview with a young former Israeli soldier, recorded in a single afternoon, in which the subject declares that it is necessary to achieve peace with the Palestinians after all the hatred and wounds of war. The soldier's speech has something innocent and conventional about it, but there is a dark side, where it is clear that he does not want to talk about his personal experience in the conflict, and he refers to something called kill rush, an addiction that one acquires when one has started killing.
