Matteo Bussola tells a crux of our time: adolescent fragility. He writes a touching story, full of grace, about the betrayal that comes with becoming yourself. And he shows us, with honesty and delicacy, what it feels like to face the pain of a child, but also the light of being parents, which continues to shine even in the darkness. Because it is difficult to accept the truth of those we love, especially if we brought them into the world. But love always brings with it a rebirth. A father and a son, in a room. One in front of the other, as they have never been. Each the mirror of the other. The two of them, together, in a child neuropsychiatry ward. There are other parents, in that ward, other children. Adolescents who refuse food or who hurt themselves, who live the exhausting effort of growing up, in families incapable of giving a name to their torment. And disoriented mothers and fathers, who share the same wound, the intolerable sensation of no longer being up to their task. With the warm, intimate voice of a lost father, Matteo Bussola photographs the frightening moment in which parents and children stop recognizing each other, and talking to each other becomes impossible. Through a handful of heartbreaking and beautiful characters, he reminds us that every human being is a mystery, even when we are the ones who created them.
