Pointing to the magic that we make.   How much of our adversity is tied in with others... lay it be a story of The Ironman Triathlon... what pushes man to push man beyond who they can be.  Past the loss of what we believe. 
Sym-poetic and surreal in it's craft...  you won't find another language like this one.
