“Dandelion wine. Those words were the taste of summer on your tongue. Look through that wine on a wintry day and the snow will melt to reveal the grass, the foliage and flowers will tremble in the wind like speckled butterflies."

 

Ray: Bradbury

 

What will happen when summer flows through your veins on a winter's day, what will happen when your happy youth passes through you again at the age of thirty, waking up your cells?

 

Age of twelve years - it is a return to the place where you really start to know life, to discover it. To discover suddenly: "I am alive" and "I live to explore, touch everything in the world...", you discover love, fears, death, suddenly you also understand that you are also mortal, and life becomes sweeter than that.
