I can't do this!

- Well, in case you change your mind.

- Yeah.

But he is doing fine, or what?

Yes, he is doing great,

he is doing really great.

- It is a nice place they have.

- That's good.

How old is the kid?

How big is he now?

Oh, I don't know.

He is, ehm...

You don't know!

You are lousy at judging that!

- Yes, I do! I know, I know...

- No you don't!

He is, ehm...

He is 5... 6 years.

But are you having

a great time... Or?

- Are you all right, Thomas?

- Yes, ehm...

Sure, ehm...

Everything is fine.

- It is nice to be away from home.

- That is good.

I must go, I have to

start cooking, it is pretty late.

The boys send their regards

and you have to call mom!

- Sure. Okay.

- I have to go now!

Yes, Christine.

See you, see you.

- Yes, take care. Bye bye.

- Bye.

What exactly,

do you do at the NGO?

Basically we hand out food to

very needy people from the slums.

And when we are

inside their homes,

we try to figure out

what else they most need,

and try to arrange it.

- That sounds nice, difficult.

- It sounds like a never ending story.

Maybe I could join you

while I'm here.

When I'm working at the NGO,

I see all kinds ofthings there.

There is an old German guy sleeping

around with two little boys.

It's very very difficult.

While we are offering food,

the old German offers

a pocket full of money.

You know.

It's very very hard to be a...

Paedophile in Germany.

The truth:
Without our NGO,

the lives of these children

would be even harder.

NGO, NGO.

In Brazil...

NGO is like a paradise

for a middle class Brazilian

with a bad conscience.

At least I'm out there,

trying to make a difference.

- What are you doing?

- Me? I have a bar.

This dumping?!

No, no, Tereza.

Let him...

Hey, Tereza! Stop it!

It is time for him to learn

about responsibility.

Look who's talking!

Sometimes I think it would be

f***ing easier to be gay.

No previous experience

in volunteering.

Eh... No.

Is... Is that a problem?

No.

My big fear is...

Is the language.

Don't worry about that.

You speak some Spanish, that helps...

All you really need is a few words.

You see those boxes?

Here we have food; one month

of food for a family of three.

Besides that we also give some

clothes we receive as donation.

And your job will basically consist

in going around in a car,

handing out food and clothes.

I will find someone to go with you,

and later when you feel comfortable,

you can go on your own.

Okay?

A doll? Your doll?

But anyway, eh,

you will be wearing a uniform,

that will make you feel safer.

Also people will know

you are working with us.

- Hello. Julia Lima?

- Yes. That's me.

Thank you. Thank you.

You know all the areas

are controlled by drug dealers.

They are the local army.

But they love the work we do, so...

you should not worry.

That's it.

Welcome and good luck!

Thank you.

Look, so many things!

So, okay?

Sit down, please.

Do you want some coffee?

Okay, thank you.

Let me put it here.

There.

It's great when you bring us food.

It helps us so much.

I'll get to you the coffee.

The baby is sad.

I will soon send her to Bahia

to be with my mother.

I can't provide for her.

- You give baby away?

- I don't have money to raise her.

I have to send her away,

so my mother can help,

but life goes on, right?

Hello.

Hi, Christine.

Wow wow!

Yeah, so am I.

I don't care!

Christine, I...

If he isn't willing to

give me some room,

now that I really need it,

then f*** him!

Well, I can't talk

about this right now.

No, Christine, listen...

I will have to call you later...

I will call you later, okay?

Good...

Hey.

She is... Very beautiful.

- The baby...

- What about it?

No mother.

Me, money.

Me... lots of money.

Me... loves the baby much.

Very much.

- You want to buy my baby?

- Yes.

- You want to bring my baby to the USA?

- Denmark.

I... I good man.

I like baby.

I good father.

How much would you pay?

Mr Thomas. Come in.

I think I found a baby.

Hello!

Hello?

Hi. You are early.

Could you come back

some othertime?

Not early. You busy?

Okay. Thank you.

I... I have presents.

You... Hello.

So you are the gringo who's

trying to steal my baby?

- What's going on?

- Shut up, motherf***er!

- Calm down, calm down.

- You f***!

- Presents, presents.

- What are you thinking?

Thomas?

Thomas, can you hear me?

- Can you talk Thomas?

- Yes.

You didn't try to buy a baby,

did you?

I did.

- What did the doctor say?

- That I was lucky.

What the f*** are

you thinking, man?

- I am sorry, Tereza.

- Of course you are sorry.

- Look at you.

- Not that was not what I meant.

I know what you meant,

I am sorry too.

- Calm down.

- Calm down, my ass!

What do you think this is?

A f***ing supermarket, where you

just can take whatever you want?

- Give him a break.

- No, he brought this upon himself!

He deserves this.

You deserve this, you know!

- How can you be so f***ing stupid?

- Tereza, dear, please...

Just let me

tell you something.

I know that the poverty

you see here is chocking...

I know that a lot of people here

are willing to do anything for money

and it might be tempting foryou.

But these are real lives.

They are not commodity.

I know, I was stupid.

I was an idiot.

Jakob told me about

your situation,

I could see how difficult

it must be for you.

I know you are a good guy.

Honey...

Tell him about that girl.

No, I think it's a terrible idea.

Come on, Thomas is a good friend.

He's an old friend.

Let's help him.

I won't get involved in this.

If you want to, tell him yourself.

I'm out.

Tereza, you're the one

who knows this girl.

- F*** it!

- F*** you!

Tereza knows some girl

who is pregnant

and who may wants

to sell the child.

Hi there. What's up?

It's okay.

You are here, great.

You met already...

Howare you doing?

Come with me. It's up there.

- Are you sure this is a good idea?

- No, but we are here now,

it is too late to back out,

don't you think?

Relax, this girl Maria?

She has already had a lot

ofkids, she can't raise them.

The two youngest live with her

sister in the other end of the city.

And she sure as hell,

will not take care of more.

- Up here.

- It is up here.

Maria!

Come here.

Everything okay, Maria?

- Well, this is Maria.

- Hello, Maria, I'm Jakob.

- This is Thomas.

- Hello... All right?

And this is Larissa.

Come here. She's my wife.

Maria's sister.

This is Larissa,

Maria's sister, his wife.

So this is Thomas.

He's the boss.

- Come inside.

- Yes, let's go in.

Don't mind the mess, it's

a poor person's home, okay?

You shouldn't mind, that

this is poor people's home.

This is the house I mentioned.

These are things to put

in the salon, understand?

This is the sink and the shelves.

It will make the girls' work easier.

Well, I have to say that the

house you found is too expensive.

- You find it expensive?!

- I find it expensive!

Maria, why don't you find

a pretty house,

- but smaller, close by?
