Partner

A boy from the US, tall, handsome, rich,... has everything in life. His parents, wealthy by profession, have given him the best education at the best universities, so that he could continue the family business and perpetuate his family name. (approx born in 1940 to match the ages) If only the Partner had had aptitude. From a very young age, he showed great interest in the performing arts, dancing in the halls or jumping on the bed while listening to music. But his parents did not approve of that kind of behavior and the minute they saw him kick, they punished him in isolation only accompanied by a statistics book. As he grew older, his respect for his parents waned and he saw them as mere bullies. They forced him to study at the best business university in Rome, where he was an honorary academic and passed the degree with the best grades. But he was met with a great void. He realized that all this time he had been the puppet of his parents and that none of them was his choice. "This achievement is not mine, it belongs to my parents," he said to himself. At his graduation, when his parents came to Rome to see him, upon receiving his diploma, he felt so much accumulated anger that he exploded and ended up fainting on the floor. When he woke up, he was in the hospital, surrounded by his parents, "He has been studying so much all this time, that when he found out that he is the best in his class, he was excited," his parents say on the air while making pompous gestures. The partner did not think if he was the best or worst, at this point in his life he could only think about the great friendship he made with his kitchen assistant (The Player) from a family pizzeria, who helped his grandmother with the business. It was the only real thing in her life, the only thing her parents couldn't control or organize. That thought dominated his mind. (The last few months he would have to study a lot and he couldn't go too far) His parents left, the hospital room was empty, but he kept thinking about his assistant, “what could have happened”, “I haven't heard from him for a long time”, “I have to find him”. He left the hospital prematurely, without telling his parents. He was shot at the pizzeria, but the place was empty. He used all his influence to learn of his new whereabouts, until a contact led him to a small town. He did not think twice, he took his bags and without warning, he went to Italy, to continue working with his assistant in his small family business. Since he had studied business, he had to take advantage of it.
