How we do ever wonder

what's between us and universe?

I mean in the space,

between each of us and the stars?

Is it there?

Is it light?

Dust? Particles?

Life?

There are many things

in the space

and all together form

our world nature.

Sometimes, we need to find something

to help us discover the world,

between us and the stars

and I find Cabo.

I didn't know it,

he will take me to the Africa.

where he'll show me a

very different nature,

one of that can't be touch it,

nor seem but it also exist.

Seeing him in Barcelona,

was a beginning of my journey.

Sir, you want

refer the news?

Want you refer the news?

I know why you came here,

so, you better turn around

and walk away right now.

What's wrong, dad?

Why did you make him leave?

I feel very bad about it,

but this boys steal the phones

from restaurant tables.

I mean, he walks over, he covers

the phone with the newspaper

and then he asking for money.

He uses the other hand

underneath the newspaper

to steal the phone.

The boy is a thief. What he

does is not right at all.

Then why does he do it?

Because he needs money,

anything, stealing

Is the best way to get it.

-Why does he think,

is the best way?

-I don't know, Jana.

I'm sure someone told him.

He has to steal, so, he does it.

Who tells him to?

Someone who take advantage

of him, someone who tells him to steal.

But who, dad? Who tells him

to? -I don't know, Jana.

Look, here come the

pizzas. Let's eat now

and if we're finding

him later we'll ask him.

Want you refer the news?

Thief.

Thief. Somebody stop

that thief.

You little rascal.

You see? He just stole

the man's mobile.

Why? Why

does he do that?

I don't know. But somebody

should be tell him,

he have to stop it or he's

getting in a big trouble.

I spent days and nights,

thinking about that boy's problems.

If he get in the trouble,

is a very serious thing.

Because he makes you sick,

nak definitely

not like yourself.

Must always worse someone

what you really like to be.

I wish I could help him,

but how could I.

I didn't know

anything about him.

Where was he?

What was he doing?

Where does he live?

And every time I

thought about him

and all those questions,

I felt so a pain in my heart.

It was that very night,

when a shiny butterfly

appear of nowhere,

flashing it's colored wings

around my bedroom.

There she was. litop

by intense mist of light.

What she'll doing

that with me?

Why have you come?

Because I know the

boy you looking for.

You don't have to worried

about him anymore.

He's OK.

Sometimes he has to do

the dangerous things

in order to survive,

but he's OK.

He's a good boy.

And how do you know?

-Because I see him

help and love the people.

-What do you mean?

That he worries about the

other children the same way

you worried about him.

So, don't worry. OK? I can go.

-Wait, wait, don't go yet.

I told what he need it,

what do you want?

Take me to him.

No.

That's not possible.

Today it's impossible.

We would have to go back

to that day at the restaurant

and that's impossible.

But why?

Because there no roads

that's leads to the past.

There no seconds, minutes,

hours or days that can take you there.

Either you there or you not there,

nobody else can take you.

Not even fairies and

widow magic.

Where can I find him?

Where ever your desires and

imagination want to take you.

That's where you will

see him again.

Oh, come on. Can't

you talk normal.

What would you mean your

desires and your imagination

want to take you? I don't

know what you mean.

Where is that place?

-OK.

I want it to see him

here and now. -OK. All right.

I need to see him.

Where is he? -OK.

I tell will you...

He is in the hospital.

-In the hospital?

Why? What's

wrong with him?

Do you really want to know?

-Yes. I want to help him.

Go to see him tomorrow

is that you want.

His very sick.

And listen to me, as much as

you want to be with him,

as much as you wish to

be at his side,

you have to remember,

that everyone has the own path

and nobody can change it.

I convince my

mother to take me.

I been asking everyone

about the pizza boy for weeks.

My parents knew how

much meant to me

to able a see him again.

Is it him? Do you think

it's him? -Yes. That's a boy.

Oh, excuse us. We didn't

realize you here and...

Are you his mother?

-No.

I'm the only person who

is taken charge of him.

My husband and I are the only people

here who's speak his language.

What's wrong with him?

Why he's in the hospital?

Living on the streets,

there's a lot of problems.

Don't you see,

he's very ill, poor thing.

At times, he have

very high temperature

and when he dreams he

says he wants to go back

to his grandparent's home,

to the country of his ancestors spirits,

the land of red sand, where

trees and animals they talk.

But all of this is

very far away.

Oh, this Gabo. Dreams

take him very far away.

I think he moved.

Is he awake?

-Can I tell him something?

Yes, I'm sure he would

like that very much.

Gabo, a girl has

come to see you.

Is that his name?

Gabo.

Yes, you didn't know?

That is his name.

Gabo means dream

in our language.

Gabo.

Hi. Can you hear me?

Do you want

to come with us?

What is he saying? I don't

understand what's he saying.

He said, my hearts

stands on the hill

and the heart of the

Bushman always goes back

to very came from,

to the land of the desert,

the secret land that

witness our birth.

Where the spirits of the humans

talks to those trees and animals.

Does Gabo comes from that

country, that desert? -Oh, yes.

They don't learn only to

live but to survive.

Oh, let me. Oh.

At times, the alarm

goes off from no reason,

for nothing. -I think,

we disturb him. We should be go.

Hello. Don't worry Gabo.

Here we are.

He's gonna be all right.

Let's see, what's

going on with you Gabo.

I'm sure it's nothing.

I don't wanna leave

him now, mom.

Oh, don't worry

but we have to go now.

We would like to come back.

-Please, come back tomorrow.

We'll come back,

on point or the other.

Let's go, Jana.

-Nurse, check the pulse again.

Looks very slow.

I'll make it curing. I'll

bring it to him. -Yes. Let's do that.

I'm sure he will

really like it.

What's his country like? I mean,

is the really country like that?

Can you imagine,

I could go visit it his mountains

and his desert. I could talk to

the trees, plants and animals.

Can you imagine that?

I didn't yet know, what design

an imagination capable of

but I'll soon going

to find out.

Bless you.

A flower?

Are you a desert flower?

Unfortunately, I'm now.

-Then you help me.

Help you? Help you do

what? -I'm doing research.

Very well then.

I'm happy to hear that.

What are you researching

if I may ask?

Why do you exist

in the place like this?

Why do I exist? -Yes,

why you're here?

We all exist from

the same reason,

to someone to come along and

water as every ones in a while.
