Sometimes, the hardest journey is the one within. A Second Innocence is about four people-Raphael, Daphne, Jordi, and Angela. Though each is locked in profound isolation, they find the strength, in various ways, to overcome the fear of becoming who they are. As diverse as they are (Raphael becomes a priest, Daphne serves a twenty-year sentence for murder, Jordi is an artist of moderate renown, and Angela has epilepsy caused by an inoperable tumor), they develop strong relationships through shared experiences and discover a state of being where they feel accepted and valued. They come to understand that love involves seeing and understanding oneself through the eyes of another person. Through this unsentimental journey (The path to heaven starts in hell), this determined foursome discovers a second innocence, an awareness that sees the ugliness inherent in life, but develops the capacity to accept the flaws and limitations of people. In the end, beyond the ugliness, they sense the mystery that is generated by the profound internalization of the complexity of reality.
