SCRIPT:
Night after night I have the same dream, I dream of my world, the land I come from. When I wake up, I feel an overwhelming melancholia.
So I do what I always do: I get up and walk.
Around me, everyone sees the usual superficiality, believing appearance is everything, despising the wonder of diversity. I wish it weren’t like that.
Sometimes I get up and realize how beautiful life can be, how the light loves us, gives us energy and salvation. We’re free to understand this.
I've spent my life looking for the impossible.
Sometimes I collapse. I can't stand.
I don't get help, not the help I need.
Sometimes I look at the sky and only see clouds. I know where I'm from but not where all you ghosts come from!
A person gave me a small part of his life once, and in that moment I realized many things. I climbed to the top of the wrong world and saw the right one in front of my eyes.
Finally I found a compromise.
I made possible a piece of the impossible.
