The Golden Formula

The story is about the journey of an alchemist named Nemo, obsessed by the formula of the synthesis of gold and so attached to his tools and knowledge that he forgot the very meaning of that research. The bag, which he persists on dragging behind, represents the certainties that he is afraid to lose. However, these certainties are also the weight that prevents him from living. Sometimes to move on you have to leave something behind.
