Hello Gustave :)

I don't think anyone has ever shown as much interest in my story - literally my story - as you have, so I have to thank you for the nice comment and dedication.

If I haven't responded sooner it's because I've been feeling like the main character of Fight Club, living through a week where I feel half awake and half asleep.

I don't know if you know the movie, but here's the suggestion. If you do, don't worry, I don't intend to put into practice any plan to destroy anything. If there's one thing this last week of many fires in Portugal has taught me, it's that I want everything but destruction.

But back to my story, maybe I could ask Kusturica to make a film inspired by this (I'm not bragging or anything, it's just that you mentioned something an European Indie film... :) .

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
