Potser és el fet que el pare mateix ha demanat a en Jonás que hi vagi, potser és la presència d’un veí inquietant, potser la minyona que no diu el que sap, potser dels alemanys que escenifiquen la caiguda del mur de Berlín al jardí del costat... En aquella casa del poble de Malzinelles res no és ben bé el que sembla, ni tan sols els records familiars.

De fato: para que o jogo flua a contento de quem o pratica e, principalmente, de quem o assiste, é fundamental que a bola role, que seja plena a dinâmica, mas importantíssimo que ela não se confunda com afobação – se isso se der, a jogada não deu. Mas como contar de forma resumida uma história cujos primeiros registros datam de cerca de 2.500 anos atrás?
