¿MUERTE? DEFINE LA MUERTE. “Tienes leucemia” “Eso es lo que dijo el doctor. Mamá y papá se lo han tomado tan mal, que se pelean. Me siento impotente. Tal vez por eso recurrí al Padre Thomas.

Los adultos que forman parte de su vida se derrumban. Desesperado, se dirige a un sacerdote para pedir ayuda, y este le habla de un chico de su edad, Carlo Acutis, que murió no hace mucho.

In Merillia, his name is Cleopas, and his big brother, Jo, is considering an arranged marriage to a girl called Miryam. Soon, events are in motion that will change their lives—and the world—forever.
