E come molti, uscito dalla maturità con il proverbiale calcio nel sedere, è ben deciso a lasciarsi tutto alle spalle: numeri, problemi, conti che non tornano mai. Ma l'incontro mancato con la matematica rimane dentro di lui come una ferita non rimarginata, un tarlo che scava la sua via per uscire: ormai adulto decide allora di lanciarsi in un'impresa che ha qualcosa di folle, ma proprio per questo anche di esaltante.
