Revelations

We haven't ever dug deeply in the linguistical-theological controversy concerning God's gender and though we do not totally support the conventional theory of a masculine figure, we must admit to unwillingly following it, at least in writing, as we keep using masculine pronouns when referring to the Chief Designer. However, we can announce to you all that we've received clear indications about the truth regarding this matter: not only the Great Movie Director is female, but she speaks Spanish and looks a lot like a short old lady with a wrinkly smile and a gentle voice, who, without having spoken to him more than once before, in mid-September approached Mattia and, sensing he was in a particularly dark moment, told him very softly and firmly that despite all the issues with the school and what some people were saying to the contrary he was doing a very good job, his methods were the right ones and he should not be sad. Mattia would hear other similar voices in the next weeks, but none came at such a right time and with such clarity as hers.

Just to explain, nothing like a miracle: it's simply that Doña Estela, who works in UPAVIM as a cleaner and is one of Mattia's 6th grade student's mother, apparently really appreciates not only Mattia's teaching but his overall relationship with the students and especially the afternoons he dedicates to them.
Oh, by the way, the Great Composer is also quite good at cooking torrejas (some sort of egg-based soft sweet cakes) to cheer up worried volunteers!
