Sometimes I have a feeling that I encounter books and movies that are relevant to my life. As with this one. You can’t escape the past, it will always haunt you. What you can do is redifining yourself.

How I did it: I took a super-intensive summer course last year, then I participated in an anual course, then in July I took another super-intensive course and in August I went to Palermo for another intensive course.
