:17:06
How is it?
:17:08
Very nice.
:17:18
My father's origins were, for me,
:17:20
always a true mystery.
:17:24
I knew nothing of his past
:17:27
but it never bothered me
:17:33
What's that?
:17:35
Spearmint
:17:37
It smells so good!
:17:39
We'll bring some to your mother
:17:40
to put in the soup.
:17:42
For me it was enough having him by my side
:17:44
for nothing else to bother me.
:17:49
The story that mystery held
:17:51
opened up for me little by little
:17:54
through my mother's words.
:17:57
In the south
:17:58
it almost never snows.
:18:02
What a strange place!
:18:05
Hey Mom,
:18:06
how come we've never gone there?
:18:10
Your father left there
when he was very young
:18:13
and he's never wanted to return.
:18:15
Why did he leave?
:18:17
He never got along with your grandfather
:18:21
I've been told they were like cats and dogs
:18:25
that your father was very rebellious
:18:27
and your grandfather very bad-tempered.
:18:30
So, you can just imagine it
:18:32
what happened.
:18:37
From the very beginning
:18:39
these stories were like fantasies
:18:42
and I filled them with images
I gathered from all over.
:18:49
Not knowing the real distances involved
:18:52
I located it on the other side of the globe
:18:54
always with palm trees in the background
:18:57
somewhere in the south.
