Who are you?

00:30

Why when things seem to go well ...?

00:32

Suddenly...

00:33

...without warning.

00:36

They stop working?

01:03

Questions.

01:05

Questions that rarely have answers.

01:10

And all they do is increase the uncertainty.

01:15

How much does luck have to do in all this?

01:19

But actually...

01:21

... in a second everything can change.

01:25

Is it true when they say that if a door is closed ...

01:30

... a window opens?

01:35

Life, at times ...

01:36

... seems to be driving itself.

01:38

It turns.

01:39

Changes pace

01:42

How much do we really influence those changes?

01:52

Who am I?

01:54

I was the first child of parents who dreamed...

01:56

...of a united and numerous family.

02:00

And I got used to having more things than I needed.

02:02

My way of answering them was to be the best.

02:06

In everything

02:08

I started looking for more independence.

02:10

Writing allowed me to invent that place.

02:15

One day...

02:16

... I decided to look further.

02:19

I realized that there were many things I didn't know, like..

02:23

...how to play guitar

02:27

Until one morning ...

02:28

... I had a lucky accident.

02:31

I met Beatrice.

02:32

She was the first to see the things I had written.

02:38

Beatrice showed it to Jack.

02:42

Jack could not stop reading.

02:43

Jack showed it to Celine.

02:47

Celine was touched.

02:49

She showed it to Professor Pingot.

02:52

Professor Pingot didn't think the text was mine.

02:56

He showed it to Mr. Connor.

03:00

Mr. Connor owned a major publisher.

03:07

And in that moment...

03:09

...everything...

03:11

...started.

03:13

"I wanted to tell you that the first edition is running out."

03:16

"And we're printing the second ..."

03:18

"... And you're still in the ranking!"

03:52

Yes?

03:53

Good afternoon

03:54

Who are you?

03:56

Who am I?

03:59

I grew up with my grandparents.

04:01

I had a very happy childhood, ...

04:03

... that faded away little by little.

04:06

First my grandfather.

04:08

Then it was my grandmother.

04:09

The chicken...

04:11

...the plant...

04:12

...and the dog's sight.

04:18

The city seemed like the perfect place to start growing.

04:28

It seemed.

04:32

Things went well in Mr. Yussuff's greengrocer.

04:35

Until the very greedy could not bear I got hungry.

04:47

By chance, I met a great hairdresser.

04:53

The actresses of the nextdoor theater ...

04:55

...went in the afternoons to ask...

04:57

...for hair for their wigs.

05:00

I would put them in a bag and take it to them.

05:15

It was several months.

05:18

Until one day,...

05:19

... the main actress did'nt make the final rehearsal.

05:23

And I knew your text by heart.

05:26

"Thinking about it, ...

05:28

... makes me want to tear myself to shreds! "

05:47

Then, the first text did not take long to prove me.

05:50

And the first payments to act.

05:53

And the first investment ...

05:54

...a bicycle.

05:56

In the mornings I use it to go to the theater school.

05:59

And in the afternoons ...

06:01

... I work delivering orders.

06:04

Sir, I'm from "Click" offices.

06:06

Home delivery.

06:07

Well,...

06:08

... come in, ...

06:08

... dont just stay there.

06:10

Don't worry sir.

06:11

You just have to sign the receipt.

06:50

Come in.

06:52

I'm not used to signing standing up.

07:12

It does not say what the box contains.

07:15

Do you know?

07:17

I can tell you've never received a delivery.

07:19

I have no idea

07:22

So many books...

07:24

Are you a writer?

07:25

I've written something here and there.

07:28

Are you famous?!

07:33

What is fame to you?

07:35

It seems to me...

07:37

...something like the reverse of oblivion?

07:40

I once heard a writer say that fame ...

07:43

...is a spot on the tip of the nose.

07:45

Everyone sees it ...

07:46

...except you.

07:48

I think you realize that you care, ...

07:50

... when you look in the newspapers ...

07:52

...and you don't appear.

07:56

When you go out to the street ...

07:59

... and nobody greets you.

08:04

I'm going to make coffee.

08:05

Do you want one?

08:07

I do not know if it that would be correct.

08:09

It will be only five incorrect minutes.

08:12

Ok.

08:18

And tell me, what do you do?

08:27

Half the time I'm a delivery girl.

08:30

The other half, actress.

08:32

And in two weeks we will premiere a play ...

08:34

...and for the first time I have the leading role!

08:38

That's great!

08:39

¡Yeah!

08:40

Everything has been like a dream.

08:42

I still can't believe it.

08:44

And you?

08:45

What are you working on now?

08:48

In a kind of crisis, I would say.

08:55

Things do not come to me.

08:59

It's as if everything changed very suddenly.

09:02

In a moment I was so high ...

09:04

... that it changed my point of view.

09:09

And it happens that sometimes,...

09:10

...inspiration suffers from vertigo in heights.

09:15

And she leaves...

09:16

... without giving any explanation.

09:18

And you stay...

09:20

...blank

09:21

Time passed by and my editor asked for explanations ...

09:23

... that I couldn't even give myself.

09:25

Maybe everything was a sum of fortunate events.

09:29

Maybe it was just being at the right time and in the right place.

09:32

And the worst of all...

09:33

...is that maybe I never even had any ...

09:36

...talent.

09:46

I have a confession to make.

09:48

I know very well who you are.

09:50

You probably dont even imagine,...

09:53

...but yout book ...

09:54

...was my only company for a long time.

09:59

I read it many times.

10:02

It was a great friend...

10:04

...in difficult times.

10:07

When I went to work at the delivery company, ...

10:10

... I fantasized about the idea that one day ...

10:12

... it would be my turn to deliver you something ...

10:14

... and I could meet you in person.

10:17

Sometimes,...

10:19

... you have to help luck a little bit.

10:21

Also, I wanted you to know that the text of the play I told you about ...

10:25

...is mine.

10:26

And is inspired by your book.

10:29

I hope you don't mind.

10:31

No...

10:32

No no!...

10:33

I...

10:34

Of course not, I ...

10:35

I had to tell you what you ...

10:37

...your book!,...

10:38

...means to me.

10:46

Well! I have to go.

10:48

I wont take up more of your time.

10:50

Thanks for the conversation...

10:51

...and coffee.

10:53

You're welcome...

10:54

...It was very nice...

11:01

I would love to see you…

11:03

...go see you!, to the premiere of your play.

11:05

Of course!

11:06

You have to see it!

11:08

I'll send you an invitation.

11:28

¡Hey!

11:29

There is nothing in the box!

11:33

Are you sure?

11:34

Look again...

11:35

...maybe this time you have luck!bbb
