Then I spent a lot of time

wandering in this world, looking for him.

Last night I entered

Suddenly

I saw it, was there '.

He glances and looks at me.

I look at him and he looks at me ...

But she seemed more 'younger.

No, not when she smiled.

What kind of impression she had of him

in this unpleasant

Light of the school?

Those earrings

They were just wrong.

'Cause something like that

at a staff meeting?

Was it his fault?

The urine of tobacco,

to phones with big buttons,

to a slow death

of throat cancer.

I really should not

tell it to you, but f*** ...

That 's the first time

I slept well with someone ...

since my wife

and 'dead, that' for two years.

- Good?

- Well ...

There were one or two ...

accidents.

Not good.

Obviously,

I was too nervous.

You ', you know,' that ...

and 'that when

become more 'big,

become more 'conscious

of your body and the way in which ...

It's getting weird

hiding so '.

I am uncomfortable to see

Conrad in the classroom

and pretend

and 'like other boys.

Yes.

It was early and very cold.

There was a group of men

who prepared

the burial of a boy.

The children died

everyday.

I felt that I had to

take it in the right way.

What does convey something

about what 'was happening.

And there was this man ...

I thought should be

the child's father.

I was looking for some signal

it was right that I was there,

that he accept me.

Coping

this every time.

Can I take a picture

They tell their story?

The way their

they would have told?

And it 'That's my job?

Or I should use

his family to say something

more 'large and in some

more 'important way?

At the risk of using them

as an example

for the victims.

In wartime

or extreme poverty ',

the rules of conduct

Civil are interrupted.

In a normal life,

that nobody would try

to photograph

while they are grieving.

I felt to get close with

respect, not to speak loudly,

not to move

too quickly.

I want to be sincere.

I want to feel sincere in

for these people, and ...

they perceive it.

Even without speaking.

Hello handsome.

Hey, come sit.

I want to talk with you.

I wanted to know if ...

if you ever think about Mom.

If you ever think of his accident.

why?

Well...

There 's nothing to say about

an accident, so people

it must create a, invent it.

So 'they have someone to

blame, those things, you know.

- Anybody in?

- It 's normal, but ...

sincerely

and 'it was just bad luck.

It is terrible

but it was not anyone's fault.

You know?
