“ Everything started with a table… It was not an ordinary table. Buying it the retired trader Angelo Moncini gets in touch with a new reality and decides to be involved in a new adventure.
The table was built by young artisans of a Peruvian mission. Their fate would have been the street life without that table. It is a memorandum for the main character because it always reminds him to act.
Gradually he starts an ambitious project: to build a paper factory in a poor area of Peru, to teach papermaking. This idea was the starting point of a new adventure. Angelo starts to visit the poorest areas of Peru and to experience a very different reality. Every experience makes him think and act. In this way the story of a little paper factory becomes the story of an inward-looking journey and of the main character’s deepest reasons. ”
