A great and touching true story Eight intense months full of pathos, adventure and emotions. Eight months without a break. A succession of dramatic turns of events, attacks, afterthoughts, tragic events and unforgettable events. Love stories that end and others that are born. The radical change of a man who goes from being a homophobic to accepting his son's relationship with another boy, because... Roberto is a handsome, charming, wealthy 50-year-old man. A feared (by husbands) playboy. He lives the life we all want, but... his perfect life suddenly gets complicated. He suffers attacks at his businesses, contracts that have been already signed are canceled... He DISCOVERS that his teenage son is homosexual! He does not accept it. He hates him, he almost kills him, he kicks him out of the house. But for him, abandoned by his family, friends, this is all too much. He thinks he can't cope... For 20 years Roberto has neglected his family. Since suffering the betrayal of the one he considered a second father, he has closed in on himself, becoming cynical and ruthless, though always fair. He no longer trusts people and neglects his wonderful family. Perhaps out of vengeance, he becomes one of the most famous and sought-after playboys in town. When he discovers the homosexuality of his teenage son, who, growing up without guidance was able to give free rein to his instincts, he cannot accept it. His family and his best friend abandon him. When alone, in that empty house and with the “noise” of unreal silence, he realizes what his inflexibility has caused, he believes he cannot cope. He begins a slow, tormented journey, begins to wonder if he was wrong, and, helped by the stories he reads on the Internet - stories similar to his but with tragic endings -, his certainties crumble. Then, as his family members say in the interviews, an angel lent a helping hand to him and helped him get out of the abyss he had entered. At the end of his journey, Roberto not only accepts his son's diversity, but realizes that he has fallen in love…
There is a form of hatred that goes beyond time and life's course, harboring for years waiting to be able to unleash its tragic vengeful force. Mario is now an accomplished man, even if he is missing one last thing to define himself happy: love! He is a very normal person, who has lived a life on the edge, joining the American secret services. As in everything he does, he was the best, and he believed it was the fulfillment of his childhood dreams. But sometimes, dreams can turn into your worst nightmares. And, just like it had happened to him in Italy a few years before already… he is forced to flee… again! A ghost from the past - Julien, Mario's old companion - suddenly reappears and brings with him a wonderful and unexpected surprise... Jr! But also a lot of trouble for Mario who, in order to save him, is forced to ask for help to his much “despised past”. A stranger saves Roberto from a group of immigrants who wants to rob him. They become friends immediately and he will be essential for Mario and Roberto, helping them on several occasions, despite his problems... and none of them imagine that thirty-one years ago... Mario helps all the members of his second family to find happiness again, he is happy. Two wonderful years… then hell. Suddenly Mario loses everything. What he had fought for. What he believed in. Roberto, who has sworn eternal love for him, falls in love with a woman... he understands that he has lost everything he has fought for. What he believed in. He decides to go back to his “old life” spontaneously, to who he considered more than a “friend”, without imagining that... this time he is the “designated victim2. He is the one who is at the center of a conspiracy, of a revenge that has been harbored for years. And when the truth comes out, there's only one solution: Close that chapter definitively, without fear... without remorse!
Close that chapter definitively, without fear... without remorse!
There are those who say that fate draws our lives and we can do nothing but suffer. I have always believed instead, that each of us is our own “executioner”. We are the ones, with the choices we make, who guide our lives... In fact, I have often asked myself: did I make the right choice? It comes full circle. Mario tells us about a painful and fundamental part of his life. Years that shaped him and left a mark, both positively but mostly with negative events. He believed that the American “adventure” was his destiny, that it had become “his life”. But what we wish for does not always coincide with reality. After discovering that his mentor is a mass murderer and he is being hunted by the New York mafia... he decides to run away. Again! From the escape, to the shipwreck, to that decisive May 10, 2008! This last chapter, is told as if we were reading through his personal and secret diary. From which he highlighted the most significant pages of the long journey he had to go through to reach his goal. These are years that leave a mark on him, mostly in a negative way. But he is Mario M and manages to learn from every situation. He suffers... he deludes himself... he suffers again... Until becoming what he is today.
