In fact, when I write these stories, I proceed like a painter: I have a blank canvas in front of me that I want to fill with color. In this case, the blank canvas is a man’s nomadic existence, revolving around his love and care for a little boy who can’t speak or move. He takes him everywhere, in a wheelchair or on his back. In this story, he encounters situations that will turn his solitary existence upside down, including an irrepressible need to move into an abandoned property and build a new life. To put down roots. A woman enters the picture. But the estate has secrets, and the woman is not exempt from them either. The little boy manages to bring them together. Both man and woman gain a new life, which they put at the service of the other. This fills them with a love for the other, a love that is not selfish. A kind of reset and play, given to them by the gods, or fate, or simply by their own desire.
