Cristina Abelló Aguilera—known as Mía—imagined a series of conversations about failure that would be, from the first to the last, a manual of wisdom, a toolbox, a mea culpa Popular, a valuable collection of experiences, a gift for the attendees, a relief for the unfortunate, and a weapon for the impatient. And after meeting with several professional friends in the cultural sector, he wondered why not do it, and shortly after, in one of his usual soliloquies, he wondered what for.

Most of us prefer not to take risks, not to make mistakes, not to fail—in other words, not to fail. Since when have we granted the term fracaso Why does the possibility of generating anguish, frustration, anxiety, and fear? Why does the thought that we might make mistakes paralyze us, self-destruct us, and limit us? Why do we mythologize success, as if behind what we consider it to be, there were no setbacks along the way? Why do we grant others the right to make mistakes, but not allow ourselves to?

Peccadillo It brings together voices willing to share their mistakes along their professional journeys. Singers, writers, actresses, illustrators, screenwriters, cinematographers, journalists, film producers. They won't debate what constitutes success or failure, but they will try to transform those mistakes into a source of inspiration, not regret. They will narrate their lived experiences and put themselves on the line so you can humanize failure and keep moving forward toward your goals. Perhaps, after listening to them, you'll be less afraid of making mistakes.
