Andry Hernández Romero lights up when he talks about Italian food. “I love pasta,” he said, sitting at his parents’ house in Capacho Nuevo, in the Venezuelan state of Táchira, on the border with Colombia. He’s wearing a t-shirt with an image of himself holding a bejeweled crown. It's been almost four weeks since he got his life back.

But in conversation, he peppers his story with warmth, dignity, and an insistence on seeing the beauty in small pleasures.
