This novel deals with renewed love, about the courage to face second opportunities, being dragged along by feelings but from the calm that life experience blesses us with. So it doesn’t deal with the desire to find it, but the need to share love. It could be that we are speaking of selfish love, something like ‘I don’t love you for what you are but for what you make me feel’. Loneliness is also dealt with, of ending our days alone and about when this fear appears we start to look for the person who can fill this void.
Just like Totó in Cinema Paradise, Bruno, the main character of this novel has become a successful man but behind a failed love life he discovers what’s real, what really matters is that sincere and pure love that was always there but he wanted to forget about.
The difference resides in the fact that, for Totó it’s too late, while Bruno can still begin afresh.
