long journey back from his deep depression. Slowly, step by step,
his inner life, which was an empty shell, starts to evolve, and
with it his ability to cope. He meets a person unlike anyone he has
known before, who teaches him to trust his intuition. He learns to
infuse meaning into the most mundane experiences and thus enrich
his life beyond recognition. Sinamatella is a story of hope and of
a second chance in life.
