His personal life was shattered when his wife cheated on him when their son was three. Alex filed for divorce and immersed himself in work. He is now thirty-four, and Vinny is five: a kind, smiling boy who is the meaning of his life. He stopped viewing the world as a stage for achievement and began measuring success by children's smiles, which has become truly important to him.

Then he looked at the woman and asked:

— Are you this girl’s mother?
