Mateus...

Maria Fernanda...

What is this, Luis?

This is a girl. She started the trip with

us in the north, but she never finished it.

What did she die of?

I think of sadness.

Did you speak to her?

Only with the eyes.

And what did you talk about?

I wanted to tell her

not to be sad.

Because it was very bad to leave that place,

but it was better comming here.

But i didn't have time.

Professor, where is my bulletin?

Where do you live?

and 80 too for geography.

And, this, this is a ...

a good sign, right?

Is good, yes, Mrs Lindu.

Thank you.

The maximum grade is 100.

That't. It's good that it is good,

right?

Missis Lindu, i did come until here

personaly to bring you the bulletin...

because... i wanted

to tell you...

that your son is a very

intelligent boy.

And... i know exactly

what You are talking about.

I wanted to collaborate

to ensure his future.

My intention...

Well, i could stay with him...

if you wanted,

if you let me...

I know that i can give him

a very good education.

But you are saying that...

Stay with him, what do you mean?

I could adopt him legally.

It is only a question of...

Look, mrs...

i am very pleased with the education

that You are giving...

to my son in your school.

I thank you from my heart

the praising, because...

it is a sign that he... he is

using the chance, right?

This is a happiness for me, but...

i am growing my children.

All i want is to make

somebody out of him.

Look, isn't he already somebody?

He is Luis, my son.

Will you stop your son

from having a better life?

No, no way.

Luis will study,

he will have a proffesion.

Oh, Mrs, don't worry

like that, no...

everything here is as resistant as leather, ih!

We have seen poverty

there in the north, you know?

-A group of ungratefuls!

-Oh, no!

Come here, and i will kill you,

i will kill you!

You're demons!

I will kill you!

Come here, ungrateful!

I will kill you! Deamon!

I will get you, ungrateful!

Aristides, don't do this

with the boys!

I want to see which one of them will have

the courage to go to school now!

What are you doing with them?

I gave an order, my sons don't have to

study, they have to work!

I sent the boys to school

Aristides, for God's sake!

You sent the boys to

school?

-Then i will kill you too!

-You respect me!

Don't hit my mom!

Don't beat my mom!

-You repsect me!

-Don't heat my mom, why?

Because a man doesn't hit a woman!

Hurt?

Go.

Lindu!

Lindu! Ungrateful!

Lindu!

Lindu! Ungrateful, come back, woman!

Don't leave me alone, no!

Let's go, let's go!

Play, lambari! Play!

Go, Lula! go, go!

Gol!!

Let's go back, go, go...

Let's play one more, come?

Go, go, let's get over them,

because they are scared, let's go!

We could have done much more

than being satisfied with little...

we can do better than this.

Definitely.

-Your sister is there.

-Hi, Lurdes!

-My God, you stink!

-It's true!

No, stop!

-Come by my house later.

-You can leave it.

Do you want some help?
