Imagine Page #3

What do you mean?

The sensor which you have in your pocket.

I don't use any sensor!

But you do own an electronic gadget...

I saw it it your hand.

Do you mean this one?

Yes.

Do you use it sometimes?

Almost never.

It's ultrasonic range finder.

Is it useful in finding your way?

But you don't use the cane, right?

No, I don't.

So you use the sensor...

I use many things.

But rarely the sensor.

Can I see?

You click so well

that you don't need the cane.

I click rarely.

What you need are good shoes.

Did you hear the motorbike?

Which motorbike?

There is a motorbike on the courtyard, too.

You should have heard it.

It is close.

It surely reflects clicking.

I haven't heard it. Does it stand near the wall?

Or any other objects?

No.

So it stands too far.

Few more meters do make a difference.

Won't you find it without the sensor?

I've told you I don't use the sensor

to find my way.

Clever thing. It vibretes more

when the distance gets smaller.

Show me you don't need a sensor!

Yes, show them!

Show them!

He fell in carbon's chute!

He should use the cane as every blind person.

You are dangerous.

Dangerous for yourself and the other blind people.

I won't let you work

with my patients anymore.

I need to fire you.

I gave you good references.

And you'll get the whole month salary.

If I can't work with blind people anymore...

...maybe I could get another work

in the clinic?

What do you think of?

I don't know...

... we need the library in Braille.

Some blind children...

...are waiting for every free place here.

I can't sacrifice those places...

I can rent a room in the town

and come to work everyday as all the others.

I won't give you any work

in which you had any contact with the patients.

This is a private clinic.

It can maintain due to charity donations...

because it doesn't pay taxes to the order.

One missed step can destroy...

...the haritage of many years of hard work.

I'll think about an office work for you.

But you are forbidden...

...to walk around the clinic

without a cane.

The sensor is coming!

He was given a cane!

Lier!

Can you walk?

Why are you interested if I can walk?

Would you like to go somewhere?

Maybe in the same place as yesterday?

To this bar?

Yes.

I can't.

Did they take the sensor away?

I don't need a sensor!

Why exactly to this bar?

Do you want to be the girl

without a cane?

To be picked up by the guy again?

Which guy?

Mister "Brandy Portugues".

"Local speciality".

I can go.

Where do you want to go?

To this bar on the corner.

I know where it is.

Ready?

Yes.

I'm waiting for you!

A minute or an hour more?

What's wrong?

I don't have a cane.

I do.

Pretend you are leading me.

Come, without the cane you'll be

more sexy.,,

...and I don't mind.

Not so fast!

Watch out!

Please, it's too fast!

Everything's alright?

Yes.

Where are the cherries?

Guincho is the dangerous beach.

...the strong wind is there...

Great beach... for surfing.

I'm sorry, it's my surfboard/

This is an action.

There are no cherries here.

Action?

He says it's an action.

Good morning, my beautiful foreigner!

Good morning, my beautiful foreigner!

Good morning, Senhores.

You've made it!

Is it here?

Can't you recognise the smell?

Coffee!

You can have a seat.

Is it the sea breeze?

Yes.

I can't smell the seeweed.

Is it a motorboat?

It sounds like a common motorcycle.

But it can go wherever it wants.

No traffic lights, no police,

no heavy traffic...

...it's not a motorcycle.

Is this ship still here?

You have to wait.

When the church bells ring,

you'll hear an echo.

It's a motorboat!

I'm terribly sorry!

Are you alright?

Did something happen to you?

No, nothing.

The guy almost bite my hand off.

American, right?

From New York.

You?

From Berlin.

Holidays?

Not really...

I've got a week of holidays left...

and I'm just hanging out on the coast...

Are you staying long?

Until it's possible to keep up

on the surfboard.

Do you surf? Really?

A little bit.

Where can you surf here?

Here, in Europe, nowhere, in fact.

Except Guincho.

Is there any club?

I'd need to rent a board.

It won't be easy.

Those are maniacs,

they don't borrow their boards.

Do you really surf?

A little bit.

It's very dangerous place.

Every year the current takes

somebody under the Cabo da Roca.

I'll be careful.

At least I will watch.

Will we meet there after?

Today, in Gincho?

Yes.

I'll get the board.

The wind... The wind is really strong today...

I'm a bit afraid when weather is like that.

We'll keep on the boards somehow.

I don't know...

It's hard for you to keep on the chair...

The bells!

Listen to the bells!

The church bell ring!

There's an echo!

True!

Every single beat can be heard twice!

And what does it mean?

The sound reflects from the ship.

Which ship?

This one here, in the harbour!

What harbour?

Is there any harbour here?

Senhores, how far is to the harbour

from here?

Which harbour?

Alcntara?

Yes. How to go there?

It's too far to walk.

Take the tram 28 to Prazeres.

And then the bus to Alcntara.

Is there nothing closer?

Santa Apolnia. A bit closer.

Yes! Santa Apolnia.

How to go there?

Take 28 to Martim Moniz Square.

I need something closer.

There is nothinb between

Alcntara and Santa Apolnia.

Try it, please.

Very nice!

What's the price?

Give it a try,

Please, try it! It's good!

You're a lier!

You lie to everybody!

Really?

There is no ship!

There is no harbour even!

Who told you that?

The locals from the bar.

Senhores...

They sit in the bar the whole day long...

and watch the street.

But they can't see anything.

How's that?

They watch...

...but they can't see.

In the harbour there is a big ship

and it can be heard clearly.

Senhores can't see it since you can't see

the coast from the bar.

You're lying, because you know

I can't see anything!

You can prove that you're not lying.

No! Give me the cane back!

And how will I walk?

Keep up with me.

Three steps. Two. Now.

Watch the kerb!

Stop.

Before the scooter will the the break.

Do you know how the scooter sounds?

Yes.

Now.

Now.

How do you feel?

Perfect!

Everything's alright?

I think so.

I've lost my glasses.

Where's my cane?

Here.

I'd prefer to have a cane.

This cane is too short.

Too short...

How long should it be?

I don't know.

It should keep you further away

from the danger.

All blind people have canes like this.

And still they have...

...accidents.

We are looking for the ship?

Yes.

But it's not here.

Where are we?

What's in front of us?

Throw a stone.

What kind of water is that?

The Atlantic.

The Tag river is on the left.

Fish...

Once more.

It's here.

Where?

Here.

Can't you hear it?

No.

It starts here.

Clap your hands.

Can you hear the difference?

Yes.

Here is where the ship ends.

How big it is?

Not that big.

About 30 meters.

We're not looking for this one.

This is this ship.

Where?

What can you hear?

A wall.
