Il cavaliere che aveva un peso sul cuore

Synopsis of Il cavaliere che aveva un peso sul cuore

Duke is a beloved and respected knight, and as a dragon slayer, he has no equal. But one day, something inexplicable and unexpected happens: his wife leaves him, and his son Johnny, for whom he had planned a grand career as a dragon slayer, reveals that this is not the life he wants for himself. Unable to accept these changes and frustrated by his inability to make things go back to the way they were, Duke begins to feel a weight on his heart that becomes increasingly heavy, to the point of being unbearable. Seeking help, he encounters a talking owl and, thanks to its advice, begins a journey to rediscover lost happiness. With the light tone of a fable, Marcia Grad teaches us that while we cannot always control life's events, we can choose our perspective to find serenity.
