Gusta & Gusto with Commentary

By: Lea Sakran

Narrated by: Lea Sakran

Gusta, the rhino lady, and her friend Gusto, a rhino gentleman, are going through different life situations with humanized emotions and circumstances. However, in a fantastic “animalistic” form, touched with the breeze of charming humor, poetry, and animalistic wisdom. This special edition of Gusta & Gusto includes commentaries between Lea Sakran, the mother, and Laura, Dana Rose Sakran, her daughter.

The comments within the tales interweave organically with the stories. Relating to the actions happening within the 12 chapters, Lea Sakran, the mother, and Laura, Dana Rose Sakran, her daughter, are reflecting together about the situations Gusta, the rhino lady, and Gusto, the rhino gentleman encounter. They talk about their individual experiences, attitudes, and approaches relating to the happenings within the stories and share their thoughts. It is also fascinating to observe how particular views, in addition to own experiences, were probably also influenced by their time and how values were experienced. The interplay between the storytelling and the integrated commentaries is clearly recognizable by two musical stings: when a commentary begins and when the commentary ends, and the storytelling resumes. Furthermore, the 12 chapters and the commentaries are an empowerment to invest in the beauty of relationships & friendships as a bridge between generations by listening and learning from each other. The stories of Gusta and Gusto inspire personal growth and development.

Gusta and Gusto are not bound to a specific age group but rather build a bridge to connect different generations and thoughts with each other. Each chapter can stand on its own and beholds a message for small and big people. Wisdom and hope are valuable ingredients offering life a special glow and, last but not least, evolving within an evident attitude. Gusta and Gusto refresh and inspire our spirit with this gentle sprinkle of salt.
