Sergio goes telling the disillusionments, the fears, the doubts, the rigid one disciplines, the friendships, the events around the proper sexuality, the questions nor always answered. The Athenaeum is one daily of a school: the lessons, the room of studies, the diversion in the swimming pool banns, the readings, the recreation, what it happen in the dormitories, the restaurant and the disputes.
