So long as we are alive, so long as we feel, so long as we love,
everything in us is an energy we can use.
He is born into a world of poverty, ignorance and injustice, but Azaro
awakens with a smile on his face. Despite belonging to a spirit world
made of enchantment, where there is no suffering, Azaro chooses to stay
in the land of the Living: to feel it, endure it, know it and love it.
This is his story.
