In July 2008, nineteen-year-old Fanis, with only his youthful delinquent experiments standing in the way of his professional football career, was launched from the back seat of a motorcycle in Paros, where he was on vacation with his friends, into a world where nothing was taken for granted anymore.

What do you do when, coming from throwing punches in Exarchia and searching for drugs in Vathi Square, you need to learn how to use a board to get yourself to your bed? What is the solution when your home has stairs? How can you manage to live independently when you are unskilled, unemployed, and addicted to gambling? And what about relationships with the opposite sex?

Like the wheelchair, words are another vehicle that Fanis learns to use to advance in this touching autobiography, where mental strength remains unquenchable when it rains tufts from everywhere and the goal is to always keep your head held high.
