Well, that is what we will talk about in this article.

The idea comes from Albert Espinosa, a Spanish screenwriter, writer, playwright, actor and film director. He has participated in major film successes such as the film '4th floor' or as a director in the television series 'Red Bracelets'At the age of 14, he became the protagonist of the latter when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which led to the loss of a leg, a lung and part of his liver. Ten years behind the hospital walls and three recurrences of the cancer were not enough to make him lose his smile and be able to find a way to move forward in a positive way.

In addition to the prestige that the film world has generated for him, throughout his career he has also written several books, including 'The Yellow World' where he expresses experiences from life itself, the discoveries he acquired during his illness and talks about the 'yellows', that spontaneous relationship that does not cause roots but that helps you to be better person.

The little things always make a difference and these people, without meaning to, have influenced our lives for the better.

Will I ever see her again? If I do, it will be as natural as the first time, you'll feel excited about it and everything will be as if no time had passed.
