Well explained.stories are always, dreams and fantasies wrapped in a kernel of truth garnished by the beauty of language and power of description. And even to know what is ' truth' per se may take a life time or more. Our memories, dreams and desires always color the past. I will suggest ( if you have not seen ) to watch Rashomon, a 1950 movie directed and written by Akira Kurosawa, and which has given the language a new word Rashomon effect.
