Why do we have to become something or someone? Aren't we already that? Why do we have to reach a destination as quickly as possible, a place we don't even know where it is, and in the process miss the view we could enjoy with every step of our bumpy journey? As if the fact that he is studying law, despite having no interest in the subject, wasn't bad enough, Fabio is also called up for civil service. He wanted to go to Seville and meet a girl. Instead, he is supposed to work as an educator in the Apuan Alps. However, shortly after his arrival, Fabio realizes that there hasn't been a school in the (almost) deserted monastery for a long time, but only an eccentric 80-year-old priest in a tracksuit. A humorous and wise novel about an unusual friendship that offers answers to the small and big questions of life.
