- Well, sometimes.

Is that why your dad gave it to you?

It wasn't him.

Then who gave it to you?

I can't say, it's a secret.

Come on... come on, it's so

they can give me one too, please.

- Are you scared too?

- Well sure, sometimes.

I'll lend you mine.

Daniel, let's go!

Julia!

An anthill

Come on or you'll get lost.

Julia!

Coming!

Careful.

Can I go look for?owers?

Flowers? Sure.

Don't go too far away, OK?

- OK.

- OK. You're going that way?

Yes.

It seems someone's claimed her.

She'll have to go.

How do you know?

I spoke to Beatriz the other day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I should have told you.

I know, I'm sorry.

- When's she going?

- They don't know yet.

- So it's not for sure?

- Yes, yes, yes.

If it's a relative she'll have to go.

We knew it could happen, right?

They said it was temporary.

- It's what you wanted.

- No, no, no, no,

I just want you to be OK.

- This will be hard for me.

- I know.

But we're together, huh?

Same as before,

everything will be OK.

How's it going?

Well the wood's not very dry.

Yeah, well we are dry and stiff,

aren't we?

It would be easy with pine cones.

We can look tomorrow.

- OK.

- Om

OK.

Let's see... is it working now?

- It's beautiful, isn't it? You like it?

- Yes.

When I was a girl,

my dad always made fires.

Yes, it's true, he'd get

a big bunch of dry sticks and leaves.

And he'd make a big fire

that went way up.

We'd have to move back

from the heat. It's true.

It scared me a little

but I really liked it.

Do you have a tissue?

- Can you let me get one?

- Yes.

Careful not to get too close, OK?

What's up, what are you laughing at?

What's so funny?

It didn't scare you or what?

It didn't scare you?

- No.

- Oh, no?

- No.

- Why not?

I have a trick.

You have a trick. Show me.

You have to sing a song.

Really? But any song will do?

- No, only one works.

- Then show it to me.

- It's called Dictation.

- Dictation, let's hear it.

A noun's a person place or thing,

Or sometimes even times,

like spring.

A verb tells what the subject does,

Like "jumps" or "fishes"

or "is" or "was".

Very good, very good

Dictation. A noun's a...

a person place or thing,

person place or thing,

A verb tells what

A verb tells what

the subject

the subject

does.

Very good.

Look, my tooth is moving.

I know that song too.

It's of no use at all.

Want some help?

No, stay there, OK?

It's full of dust...

Are there bugs?

Bugs? I'm sure there are bugs here.

The baskets are here.

Look, maybe this one.

It might be good, right?

Isn't it too small?

Small? No way!

- We can play who finds

more if you want.

OK.

I'm going to win.

Yeah?

Hello? I can't hear you, wait.

I know a place

with lots of pine cones.

Who was it?

Beatriz.

Hey, why don't you look

for more pine cones, OK?

Come on, I'll be there,

I bet there's lots over there. Hurry.

Any news?

Well yes.

Yes, there might be a possibility.

- Of what?

- Of us keeping her.

Oh, that's great. Great.

What's the deal? What happened?

I don't know. She said

she'll tell us when she sees us

and she'd like it to be today.

Today?

That sucks, right?

Can't it wait until we return?

I don't know. She said if we want

to take advantage of the opportunity

we have to hurry, I don't know.

I don't know,

I don't know what to say.

- You prefer her to go?

- No.

Tell me what to do.

You decide.

I think the girl needs us.

Then that's that.

- Go.

- You really don't mind?

- No, I don't mind.

- You're sure?

I'm sure. I'll stay here with her.

Thank you.

Wait!

- Take me with you.

- I can't, honey.

- Don't leave me alone.

- But you're not alone.

Please.

Look, this is what we'll do.

I'll bring you some cake

when I come back, OK?

- What kind do you want?

- Chocolate.

Chocolate, OK.

Hurry, go to Daniel.

When you want

we'll go get pine cones.

I'm tired.

I thought you were

so excited about it.

I have things to do.

- You want me to help you?

- You don't need to.

UP to you.

- Laura.

- Hi.

Look, this is doctor Moreno.

- Nice to meet you.

- You too. Let's go to my office?

OK.

So I'm all ears.

Let's see, it's very simple.

You'll meet the lady who wanted

Julia's custody.

It's her grandmother.

Her grandmother?

Then she has a right to her, or not?

Yes, no one questions her right,

but her ability.

Luisa didn't request her

granddaughter's custody,

but her daughter's

and she died as a girl.

We're trying to find a solution

that leaves Julia out of it.

Before this becomes a legal problem.

Sorry, I don't really understand you.

You could be a good foster family

and also guarantee

she has controlled visits

with her grandmother.

We were actually convinced that

Mario had no family.

In a way that's true.

His mother blamed him for his sister's

death and refused to see him again.

That's awful.

Until she saw him one last more

when Mario took the girl

to meet her grandmother,

who she'd never seen before.

Hi.

Come.

Where have you been?

Clara.

My name's...

Clara.

From that day on,

the girl would come spend some

afternoons with her grandmother.

- Who is it?

- That's you.

- This is me?

- It's you, Clara.

It's time to go.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

Be very careful with the monsters.

At first we thought it was fine,

but as time went on

we saw Luisa stood by her idea

that Julia was her dead daughter.

Of course we asked Mario

to stop bringing her for a while

and that was that.

We lost track of him

until the ruling came

and we found out what happened.

And if Luisa is cured?

Patients are usually here a week,

two months.

I've been for 20 years and

Luisas always been too.

In and out, but always here.

And what can I do?

Well, talk to her.

We'll avoid a long process

if you reach an agreement.

Shall we? Luisa is waiting for you.

Luisa, this is Laura.

Laura, Luisa.

- Hello.

- It's a pleasure.

I'll leave you alone

so you can talk.

How is the child?

Good, she's very good.

She has a new school and friends.

She's happy.

She's always been

very sociable and warm.

Yes, yes, she's very warm. Yes.

I set things aside for her,

could you take them to her?

Sure, sure, of course.

Here are all her things,

waiting for her.

I'll tell her.

They say you want

to keep the child.

Yes, well, we'd like to

take care of her and... help her.

I could do that too.

This isn't the best place

for a girl, is it?

Have you asked her?

She's never mentioned

this place to me.

Because it's our secret.

She draws them for me.

One each day,

she must have tons put away.

And this is Clara, right?

Your daughter.

This isn't the girl in my care.

It doesn't matter what others

want to call Clara.

No, no, her name's Julia

and she's your granddaughter.

And if that were true...

they took her from me.

Who else knows you're Clara?

Did you tell Laura?

And why not?

Because no one's supposed to know.

You can't stay here.

You have to go.

But I want to stay.

You can't stay.

I won't tell Laura who you are.
