Daniele is a young poet oppressed by an unknown anxiety, "an invisible illness at the level of the heart, or the brain". He refuses to automatically obey the rites that humanity seems to undergo: finding a job, starting a family... his life is rather attracted by the whirlpool of the void, and for four years he has been falling "as precise as an Olympic dive" . He no longer even has the strength to write, and his existence seems purposeless. It is for his parents that Daniele tries to ask for help, he must be able to survive, he will do it through work. On March 3, 1999 he signed a contract with a cooperative linked to the Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital in Rome. In this special "house", inhabited by children marked by the disease, there are many glances that he encounters and which gradually push him to ask himself an uncomfortable question: why, if suffering seems to be the only law that governs the world, does it still apply Is it worth living and trying to build something? The answers will come, beyond any rhetoric and with explosive power, from the daily experience of fatigue and solidarity between workmates, in a place like the Bambino Gesù, where the essence of life is shown in all its brutality and in glimpses of unexpected beauty. Here Daniele will feel within himself an increasingly imperious invitation not to close his eyes, and he will welcome it as a gift. With the precise and sharp language of the poet, Daniele Mencarelli offers us with raw grace the courageous story of the refuge sought in alcohol, of the spiral of loneliness, prostration and shame of those dark years, and of the progressive liberation from suffering up to the extraordinary rebirth.
