Is it possible to have an healty relationship with a person who you consider a lier?
What's the difference between lie and imagination? How a son deals with the amazing stories told by his father that, day by day, sounds more like stupid lies for children? And how would you react if he will continue to tell you even if you are not a child anymore?
Does exist a better way to deal with life than to live it as the most amazing adventure, strongly believing we can really realized everything we want to?
Can love make us effort all troubles life put before us?
