Declaration
film director
“The story of the artist Fabio Pilato is a fable about reality and its moral is: transform the poison into medicine! When we experience loss, pain, or failure, what we have in hand is the power to change that suffering into joy and good luck. Without letting ourselves be defeated by the circumstances looming over us or by the obstacles, we need to transform them into fair winds for our growth. With the fire of wisdom, not only will all the blows disappear, they will transform themselves into advantages. Illness is the reawakening of the desire to search for the truth of life.”
