00:00I know only two things about my grandfather,
00:10that he was an affectionate father and that he discovered a phenomenon.
00:18Dear son, life must be taken as a great adventure
00:25and the unforeseen are even more interesting
00:29than the peaceful realization of the things already foreseen and expected.
00:37When I read this letter from my grandfather to my father for the first time, I was moved.
00:45It was as if I were returning to my father's narratives
00:50that brought to me the teachings of my grandfather.
00:55When I lost my father, I lost these narratives,
00:59but I gained other stories hidden in my grandfather's archive.
01:06In Tupi, carnauba means tree that scratches,
01:10and from its leaves an incredible amount of a wonderful wax is made.
01:18It is with this wax that my grandfather discovered the thermodielectric phenomenon.
