That’s why they were telling me, ah, it does not look like that. But when the years passed, the owner of the portrait saw that he looked like that because he had changed his face and had forgotten how it was then. They once filmed me in a video and I when I looked back at myself, I hardly recognized myself. Why do we have a different idea of our inner self?
