This is the road to weddings and the road to funerals.
Time is counting down, how can I regain the meaning of life?
A couple who hadn't seen each other for ten years bought gifts. One set off from France and the other from Slovakia to attend a wedding in Italy. Their daughter Ninon was about to get married, but doctors also declared that at the age of 23, she would suffer from AIDS in a few years and eventually die.
In a small, isolated village, a magical wedding banquet is going on. In the music, food, and blessings, all the lost and suffering souls can see the joy of life again. Beautiful and lively Ninon was surrounded by her parents and loved ones, and her husband Gino's firm steps held her firmly in the wind. She knew that they would dance together forever, as if nothing could threaten them. Although the road leading to the wedding also leads to death, perhaps the end of life is not a tragedy, but a celebration... "God stands with us in our powerlessness." They embrace the deep love for life and die in life. Before falling, hug, kiss deeply, and dance barefoot to the music.
"The Wedding Road" was published in 1995. The limitation and cruelty of life are heartbreaking, but with his keen and delicate sensibility, he fully exposed the close connection between people and the world. This poetic novel is the author's reflections on rituals, travel, suffering and love when he witnesses the flow of life. It is also the most moving novel in his later years.
