In a land in war, full of misery and pain, a child discovers a hope, reading. Muidinga will find in theNotebooks that he reads by the light of a bonfire the absence of night fear. He will find a dream source through all the stories and also right at the end his lost identity. Reading is a way of escaping from the harsh reality of the end of the villages, escaping from being condemned to loneliness, because reading opens the door to imagination that takes over the reality of the child with no memory. Reading aloud to his only companion, Tuahir, all ows him to share stories, following an ancient oral tradition. The dream of reading is transposed to reality through the childhood game of pretending to be characters and also through the final revelation of the identity of the stories thus, the unreal is diluted into the real.
