Natan, Natan, grows, grows.

Grows, grows.

I am recording.

Now I think I did one...

- What did you say?

- I went...

I went. Right.

Because "going to"

answers which question?

- Answer...

- What thing?

Answer, "going to."

Where?

I went where.

He's asking...

The verb "go" answers

which question?

It is said go, where to?

In Spanish you don't say go to what.

You say, go to where.

Then answer...

Wait.

Just look at that,

the center of Rome.

The time we were together,

Roberta and Jorge...

it was a magical time.

How long have we been together?

Three and a half years?

Sometimes I think God made us meet

so that Natan could be born.

I don't know,

it's as if I was brought here

to work, find you,

and to have Natan.

And it's like we were destined

for each other, you know?

So that this specific boy

would be born,

with this specific story,

in this specific part of the world.

When we realized these feelings

had changed,

it was difficult. I was lost.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't want to...

I could see

things were falling apart.

It's not just a problem about feelings.

The problem is also that...

you can't see

that we are so different,

that I'm unhappy with your reality

and you are with mine.

And together we are unhappy.

Look at how we live now.

He is in the middle of the jungle

in the sea, in the middle of nowhere.

I couldn't live here.

I would die in a place like this.

Natan,

open your eyes for mommy.

Natan, wake up,

Daddy is arriving soon.

Natan, good morning.

Good morning.

Natan, wake up for Mommy.

Let's go, I have to get you ready

and take a shower.

Good morning!

Hi, love.

It's hot, hot, hot.

Cold, cold, cold.

Clean yourself.

Cold, cold, cold.

One, two, three, four, five...

and six, if I had another one.

Come on, Natan, hurry.

There we go, done.

Give me a hug.

Goodbye, my love.

We'll be gone for a while.

And when you come back,

then you'll go with Mommy.

Look, it's grandfather!

Everything going okay?

We were almost the last ones left.

This is the meter I used

to finish my boat.

#I'm here waiting to get on this boat #

#I'm going to the sea,

even if it means I have to go walking #

#Woa-oaaaa, walking there #

#There's no,

there's no hurry to get there #

#There's no need

to know how to get there. #

This is how it fits.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Don't jump in the water.

You wait for me here, please.

Use both hands.

Was it cold?

- Did you get tired?

- It was a good swim. A bit tiring.

#Looking at your eyes, baby. #

It was a good swim.

I was looking for a cave

but couldn't find it.

A deep cave, but didn't find it.

Don't dry off,

we're diving in again.

There's a spot over there.

Got it?

Got it.

Let's go to the reef.

Ready, my love?

You want to see the corals

and the fish down there?

Do you want to see the stars

and the snails?

You want to see the sharks?

Well then, you have to use this

so you can stay

under the water longer.

And nothing is going to happen.

When you get out, you can take it off.

Okay?

We're gong to give it a try, okay?

Let's go.

I'm going to let you go.

Look under the water.

Everything's fine,

don't worry.

Look, Natan.

Look under the water.

Spit the water out, strong.

Strong.

Here it is, Daddy.

Daddy, this one is broken.

You can throw it away if you want.

Come here, son.

We're here.

Exactly, Matraca!

He won't do it again,

you will see.

Check out this huge snapper.

It's got strong teeth.

Touch them.

It's true.

If it bites you...

- It breaks your finger.

- Yes, breaks a finger.

And it could fall off.

That's it.

Very good, one more.

- This one's small.

- Get the bigger ones.

Get the bigger ones first, son

- This one is big.

- Yes, that one. Very well.

The small ones have to be measured.

These two are small.

It goes in as well.

Yours is eight and a half.

Perfect.

He was still standing.

He could remain standing,

drink after drink.

It was a big black bottle.

And he drinks a lot?

A lot.

- What's he do in Majahual?

- Scuba diving.

I miss you

I love you.

I want you.

My love, you are so far

away from me. Chawa.

Daddy, I'm arranging this thing

so you can use more line.

Natan, why did you tie this up?

- God damn it!

- No, it got tied up by itself.

It got tied up, Daddy.

It got tied up.

This is wrong!

You can't do that

with the ropes, son.

You shouldn't tie them

up like that.

I didn't tie them up.

Fishing is about luck.

And patience.

Without patience,

you can't be a fisherman.

Go! Pull it.

Fight it, pull, pull.

Make the effort.

Pull.

Pull, pull.

Make an effort.

Look at this!

Look at it!

That's why I couldn't pull it.

Hold it from the top, son.

Hold it strongly, with both hands.

Natan!

Don't let it go yet!

Let us know when you're tired.

Get me another one, son.

That's it, the little head!

This is a blonde.

Oh, it's broken.

See?

Slowly, one by one.

Give me, son.

A seagull.

There's another one, two, three.

Which are those?

Those?

The ones above us?

Yes.

They are...

I think they're frigate birds.

I like them.

One, two,

three!

That one over there ate it.

One, two, three!

The one down there ate it.

That one ate it.

Wait just one moment!

Those who live at sea live happily.

You have to love the sea,

otherwise you'll be unhappy.

You'll get seasick

and hate everything around you.

It's beautiful here at sea.

That's why I'm sitting

here watching the night.

As simple as that, I sit here

alone and drink my coffee.

Watching for a while,

then off to sleep.

In the morning, I make my breakfast

and get ready for work.

When it bites, you pull it like that.

Let's go.

Pull it, pull it fast.

Faster, go on faster.

Here, this is how you do it.

Careful, get out of the way.

Out of the way, move it!

Pass me the bat.

A smack on the head, or what?

Come on pull it up, pull it up!

Bring it up.

Here it comes.

Careful.

Where should I put it, Daddy?

How do you say it?

- Scales

- To scale.

I don't mean that.

I mean this thing here.

Yes, that's a scale.

What's it called when you do this?

To sca...

- To scale.

- To scale.

Where are the beans?

Fat fish.

What did you say?

That I will get a big belly?

Or I heard wrong?

- It's the barracuda, right?

- Yes, it is.

The tortillas are there,

please eat.

I don't want lobster.

There is no lobster,

this is barracuda.

Eat.

I bet you don't have that in Italy.

They don't go fishing there.

They don't fish, right, son?

The fish is already bought in Italy.

Natan, if they want to take you

to Italy, you go and hide.

Eat your meal, buddy.

Jaimito.

Checked the weather forecast?

No, not yet.

Ok, let me know

as soon as you know something.

There are signs of a storm

that's coming this way.

Really?

I don't think it will get here.

Probably not until Monday or Tuesday.

It will be cold front number eleven.

It's very far away,

coming Monday or Tuesday.

Okay, man.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Okay, Nestor, we'll be in touch.
