ANGELO

- Only the clouds are solid –

 

Angelo is an artist that, along his story talks about a cloud that he is moulding.

First of all, he considers himself as an artist, but feels that his father-in-law, Gifford, doesn’t understand him.

His father-in-law develops an important role into Angelo’s story, because he is Rita’s father, his wife, and obviously, he wants the best for his daughter; he thinks that being an artist impedes the develop of a successful life.

As Angelo feels misunderstood, decides to flee from the situation and stay for a long time over the roof, just observing what is happening along the street, and thinking.

Suddenly, he discovers a distorted cloud that, depending on how you looked at it, could represent an animal, an object, or whatever.

Since that moment, he knows what he wants to be in life, who is he: he’s an artist and that is the reason why he is so misunderstood. He compares himself with excellent artists such as Michelangelo, and he concludes that an artist is controversial, but never forgotten.

Finally, when the cloud reached him, he touched it, it twisted up, and in the end he discovered that you must have a special ability to shape clouds, and this ability must be applied to life, but, as anybody seems to understand him but himself, Gifford appears again asking him what is going to do with his life.
