It allowed me to go to places that move me, like and go through, from how to face a conversation with the daughter, the different thoughts, how it was all before and how it is now, she trying to do something for the father who believes that it is in a way. Renzo has a position that lets things and life happen. He is overwhelmed by the death of his wife, he does not want them to take care of him, to bother him. ”
