The Head and the Heart

By Marco Graffeo

"I am a person like many others. I wanted to stand out in life, but I wasn't born with a particular talent; no vocal range beyond the two octaves, I am not good at medical biotechnology, I have not even received the stigmata". Lorenzo is a restless soul, an eternal adolescent, always looking for something or someone who can satisfy his need to be loved. Through his difficult immigration and integration experience in the hectic life of New York, his growth path is intertwined with the adventures, often to the limit, of those like him who set off to pursue a dream in this land of hope and freedom. The destiny we desire, however, sometimes does not coincide with the reality we face, and Lorenzo will soon have to deal with it. The America he discovers is the same that he will be forced to live to survive, in a system from which it will often be swallowed, inevitably fueling doubts about his journey and his inner conflicts. A simple tale in the best of its variations, intense and described with powerful and enlightening irony. A story that talks about us, our fears and the need to always give value to our choices and the meaning of our life.
