My Memories

11-year old Italo lives right in the middle of Sao Paulo. Everybody loves him because he is the one who makes the best jokes and always knows how to cheer up everyone. Humor helps to overcome the grief and stay positive and Italo has to overcome a lot. His father had died from COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. Italo is strong and he just cried in secret – a bit. The most hurtful thing was that he couldn’t say goodbye in a proper funeral, he could not even give one rose to his father. This was five month ago now. But life goes on and Italo is often alone at home, has school over the mobile phone and plays with his parrot called Baby. Sometimes Italo has the feeling Baby is the only one who can see his pain deep inside. He misses the father so much. Can he deal with the grief and find a way to remember all the good things they had and finally say a proper good bye?
