Perché questa storiella per me è estremamente importante? Perché muove una questione centrale nell'ebraismo: la domanda. La domanda è una delle basi che sostengono la cultura e il pensiero ebraici. Essere umano è colui che sa porre domande, non chi dà risposte. Perché chi pone domande apre alla produzione di senso, apre al futuro, dà alle generazioni a venire la possibilità di intervenire, di esistere.

Andrea Zanardi ha i suoi territori di caccia e i suoi infallibili sistemi: si aggira per il mercato con la calcolata goffagine di un single imbranato, abile a intenerire i cuori di floride casalinghe prodighe di consigli sulla spesa; è un entusiasta no global quando si tratta di sedurre una fotografa free lance durante gli scontri del G8 di Genova.
