00:00This provoked so much pain, so much pain because one said, I thought, why did I do it?
00:10And he asked me the question and said that he wanted to change things.
00:16I felt the need to go back and say, let's start over.
00:22And it didn't work.
00:25And who was going to understand, how was I going to make a judge understand?
00:29I regret it. What was the point?
00:32If for justice what matters is the punitive act.
00:35And while the punitive act is punishable,
00:38and in that punitive obsession that our society has,
00:42which is obviously rooted historically and culturally,
00:45there is no way for the human being to understand that he is suddenly wrong,
00:52that things happen to one's life and he makes mistakes.
00:56And those mistakes that he makes cost him dearly,
01:00because they cost him years of his life in prison and everything that that means.
01:05And is that important for Rodrigo?
01:08It's very important because there are many dreams, many dreams to be achieved.
01:12Especially in love.
01:17Especially in love because I have two different plans.
01:22One has been the love of my family, of all my loved ones,
01:26of those who belong to me and to whom I belong.
01:30And that is irreplaceable.
01:33The understanding that they have had of everything that happened,
01:36the support, the solidarity, the way they have helped me has been wonderful.
01:41I have parents who have given everything.
01:45And in that I also have a son, a son I haven't seen in two and a half years,
01:51and I know that he misses me.
01:55That is the first plan.
01:58And the second plan, and for me the most important one at this moment,
02:02has been the love of my partner.
02:05Because I don't live much according to my dreams.
02:08They are like...
02:11what one sustains for the future.
02:20It's hard to describe what I feel.
02:25It's hard because to express, synthetically,
02:30two and a half years of writing,
02:37of the suffering one has when one says to the other person,
02:41I love you, it's really hard.
02:44It's really hard because what one wants at that moment is to be with the other person.
02:48And to be deprived of that.
02:51So one says, how do I face it? How do I live it?
02:54How can I resist so much?
02:57And one says, I will endure so much time, I will endure more.
03:01However, I have endured.
03:03I have endured and that means I will endure and I will get out.
03:07And I will keep fighting for what I have done so far.
03:11I have too many things in life for which to fight.
03:14Could you tell me what is the space,
03:17what is the moment, what is the instance in your life
03:21that you would erase?
03:30If I could erase, I would erase
03:33what brought me here.
03:36But there is another fact that is also important.
03:40Maybe if I hadn't lived that,
03:43if I hadn't lived what prison has been,
03:46what the pain of these two and a half years has been,
03:49I wouldn't have become the human being that I am now.
03:54I wouldn't have become a much more whole human being.
03:58With a new perspective on life.
04:00With a new perspective on life.
04:04With a desire to live, to dream, to do tremendous things.
04:09For a revaluation of the everyday.
04:12For a re-learning in the social and in the personal.
04:17For a reconstitution of my being much bigger.
04:20For that deterioration of the intimate self
04:25that occurs in a certain moment to be reconstituted today.
04:29Are you not ashamed of what you did?
04:32I felt it a long time ago.
04:35And I still feel it now.
04:39But I generally put myself in the place of those who were affected.
04:45I also have empathy for them.
04:51But I already did it.
04:54And I think the best way to overcome the shame
04:56and to claim myself,
05:00for me, for my family and also for society,
05:08is to choose the path I have chosen and to resist.
05:12To resist in order to continue living.
05:15And even if fate hits us hard
05:20and suddenly our dreams break into pieces,
05:24to continue resisting.
05:27To resist and resist because one day
05:30the time will come when we will be able to rebuild our lives.
05:42One day this young man will be free.
05:46And when that happens,
05:48there will be the certainty that his experience
05:51will not be the accumulation of things he lived,
05:54but the accumulation of things he reflected on.
