"Rebecca!" "Toto!" "Little Rebecca!" "Black!" "Famous!" "He hurt his paw." "Rebecca!" "Thiago's back!" "Thiago!" "What did you bring me?" "And me?" "This picture..." "You went on a truck?" "You had ice cream?" "No, but I got this chewing gum." "Does it have a tattoo?" "It blows bubbles?" "That chicken looks like Juliana!" "The rest fell in the stream, but there was a big snake." "He's lying, Felipe." "He isn't." "He isn't, Juliana!" "He'll go to hell." "l won't, I was baptized." "Granny said it 's a sin." "See?" "You liar!" "Right, uncle?" "Thiago's gifts fell in the stream." "He said that?" "And there was a snake." "Father..." "God bless you." "Uncle's friend said Mutum is a beautiful place." "Let me look at you." "What 's that?" "A gift?" "Ungrateful child!" "He goes away for days, comes back and hardly says hello." "Come on, Bero..." "That kid doesn't love me." "Want to come with me, Thiago?" "Let 's go." "You coming?" "Gotcha." "You'll make me drop this." "Isn't that too heavy for you?" "If no one tells me to walk fast, it 'll never seem too heavy." "Right, take that!" "I nearly got you there." "But you didn't." "Come on, I'll show you..." "Always on your toes, huh?" "You in those torn pants." "You can't catch me." "Now... you're becoming a man." "You'll be able to hunt your own food." "You realize that?" "You'll never go hungry." "What do you want to hunt?" "Dad's yelling at mom." "Wait, Thiago." "Wait!" "Stop it!" "Try to make me!" "He's my brother!" "I'll teach you, you insolent little brat!" "Don't hit him!" "Take that!" "That 'll teach you!" "Don't hit him!" "You stay here!" "And don't look at me!" "You want it in small or big pieces?" "They're so mean to him." "I told them that, but there's no point." "I know." "Here, Thiago." "You know what Luisaltino said?" "Dad went away to Pedras." "We better not tell uncle anything about the fight." "What do you want?" "Beat it!" "Hey..." "You're in the corner again?" "You can go now." "You're free." "Thiago... where's your mother?" "Still there?" "I said you could go." "Terez, come here." "I want to speak to you." "What is it, mom?" "I want you to go away." "Right now!" "Somebody's going to end up dead." "You mustn't stay here." "Let me say goodbye to her." "No, you can't see her." "I want you to leave right away!" "is mom having dinner, Rosa?" "How about Felipe?" "Don't be so curious, kid!" "Thiago, come look!" "Children, close the windows!" "Juliana, come inside or you'll get blown away!" "Hurry up!" "Because of dad, mom and uncle, God's angry with us." "The roof is leaking!" "Juliana, I need buckets and rags!" "Thiago, are you afraid of dying?" "Yes." "But only if I die alone." "Not if we all die together." "Quick!" "Felipe, I prayed... that dad and uncle would come home and never fight again." "Dad will come back, but not uncle." "How do you know?" "Let 's pray, kids." "Rosa, make those kids pray!" "My bed's soaked." "I'll sleep with you." "Thiago, I don't like uncle very much." "You think that 's bad?" "And I don't like grandma very much." "Should we make a vow to love everybody in the family?" "When we grow up, we'll like them all." "But when we grow up... is there going to be a boy like me... who won't like me... and I won't know it?" "Felipe, if dad got mad at us... would he tell us to go away... at night... in the rain... even if we didn't know where to go?" "Let 's sleep, Thiago, or you'll dream nightmares." "Will we always be together?" "Even when we grow up?" "Mom, I'm cold." "This one?" "Yes, that one's fine." "Can I have some more?" "Did you wash your hair properly, Juliana?" "Thiago will help me tomorrow." "He'll bring me my food." "My flip-flops keep coming off." "Are you cold, Rebecca?" "You keep whining!" "Ouch!" "My little eye..." "Stay put, Rebecca." "Wait, slowly." "Let me do it." "Dad, if you want... I can come help you with the hoeing." "Go home, kid." "Don't do anything silly on the way." "Uncle!" "How are things at home?" "How's your mom?" "Mom's fine, the cow had a baby, the horse is..." "Listen, Thiago." "You remember that day we promised to be loyal friends?" "Real friends?" "I trust you, Thiago." "Give this note to your mother, in secret." "Tell her to reply to me here through you." "You promise?" "What 's wrong?" "Seen a beast or what?" "Why were your running?" "Speak, Thiago." "It 's nothing, mom." "I enjoyed going to the field." "Dad ate his food..." "Thiago, are you sleeping with your pants on?" "Don't pick on me, Felipe." "Sleeping naked isn't right... but sleeping with your pants on is okay." "You know why I kept them on tonight?" "So a wish I made can come true." "You understand?" "Uncle?" "What 's wrong?" "My food?" "There's something in the woods." "There's nothing out here." "The kid's scared of his own shadow." "But he may have seen a monkey somewhere." "Bullshit." "Let 's eat, Luisaltino." "Come on." "Rosa, how do you know something is wrong?" "When the devil keeps nagging at you." "It feels weird." "You're torn between doing and not doing something." "But you end up doing it." "And you regret it later." "Put this on the table." "You're not going to finish?" "If there's something you want badly... you can be sure it 's wrong." "Hey, Thiago..." "What 's wrong?" "l didn't give mom your letter." "Why?" "Don't you trust me?" "Where's the note?" "ln my pocket." "Don't cry." "I like you so much." "You're such a good kid." "You want a piece, Felipe?" "What do you mean, no bugs?" "There's lots." "Instead of bringing me my food, Thiago gave it to the monkeys." "Really, Thiago?" "You ran into an animal?" "What was it?" "A jaguar?" "Or was it a ghost?" "The bogeyman?" "He ran like an armadillo chased by dogs, wide-eyed." "Dad... can you do it again?" "Like this, wide-eyed." "Nothing could stop him." "The kid's a bit disturbed." "Brenda, Juliana, help me." "Your grandma's not home." "Where'd she go?" "Up the hill to deliver a baby." "Who took her there?" "Your father." "Easy..." "Come here, Polly." "Polly, repeat: "Thiago"." "Sassy little parrot!" "The parrot 's so funny." "It 's further down, Brenda." "I won't let Felipe's leaf get through." "My leaf has pulled ahead." "Go, my little boat." "lt pushed my leaves." "l'll get there first." "It 's a tight race!" "My boat 's almost at the sea." "What 's the sea like, mom?" "It 's far away." "We'll never go there?" "No, Thiago." "We're from the Sertao." "I wish I could go there." "Hi, grandma." "Hi, how are you?" "Father." "God bless you." "Dad, where's Rebecca?" "That stupid dog!" "All she ever did was eat." "Don't cry, Thiago." "Maybe it 's a sin to cry for a dog." "People say... that if you give a dog away, it always comes back." "It does?" "But how will she come back?" "She doesn't know the way." "It 's too far." "You think that 's her?" "is that Rebecca?" "This one got away from you, you mutts!" "Catch it!" "There it is, Juliana." "Catch it!" "Come one." "Catch it!" "It 's here, Rosa." "Catch it, Joao!" "There." "Where?" "Try to catch it!" "Up there, Rosa." "Up there!" "Look!" "Catch it." "There it is!" "Let 's try to catch it." "Call mom, Thiago." "Mom, Felipe cut his foot." "Little Joao got on to the donkey" "The donkey farted Joao nearly fainted" "Let go of me, Brenda!" "l'm hungry, Rosa." "Make some popcorn." "Little Joao got on to the donkey" "The donkey farted Joao nearly fainted" "Careful, Joao." "Come on, pop!" "Look out, it 's going to pop." "Wait." "Pop, popcorn." "Pop!" "On Thiago's tongue." "On mine?" "Pop on Brenda's tongue." "Pop away For Fellpe to get well today" "Pop nice and white For Fellpe to be alright" "Pop away For Fellpe to get well today" "Pop nice and white" "For Fellpe to be alright" "Sing it again, Rosa." "I didn't hear it." "What 's wrong, Felipe?" "What 's wrong?" "Tell me." "It hurts." "Where does it hurt?" "Does it hurt a lot, my love?" "Where?" "Tell mom where it hurts." "In my back." "It 'll pass, Felipe." "Don't cry." "Luisaltino, if Onilo has no medicine... tell Mr. Deogracias the kid's in pain." "He'll understand?" "Yes." "The ox is in the pen." "The gate's open!" "Bang!" "The ox fell down." "This one looks like a pig." "This one looks like a slide." "This one's a doggy." "Felipe..." "Wait, Thiago." "Let me listen to the cows." "Felipe, when you grow up... you'll be a great farmer." "With a huge farm." "This is the farm and this is the stable." "Lots of horses... you on one of them." "All of a sudden you feel sleepy." "You knock over the cow." "Horrible breathe!" "The horse sways a bit, but doesn't fall." "Hold this, Thiago." "Give it to me." "Felipe!" "Laranjinha had a little black calf last night." "The chickens teased her." "She got up and the calf left." "Will you forgive me?" "I envied you... because the parrot learned your name... but not mine." "Say "Felipe"." ""Felipe"." "Say it, Polly." "I also tried." "Felipe asked me to." "But it doesn't work." "There are things they can't say." "You haven't told me the story of Rebecca's journey." "I can't, Felipe." "I haven't been able to make it up yet." "That 's alright." "Do you think I'll see Rebecca?" "Where?" "In Heaven?" "In Heaven?" "Rosa, is Felipe going to die?" "Don't let him go, Rosa." "Don't let him die." "Please." "A little louse got on Thlago's head" "Found a snug little spot here" "What the hell, kid!" "Pick it up!" "He'll drop anything!" "You wimp!" "He has feelings, Bero." "Feelings, my ass!" "He thinks he's special." "He thinks he's not like us." "He despises us." "He's old enough to have calluses on his hands... and on his feet too!" "And to get strong." "You're ruining us, with all that sugar." "Always making sweets!" "Luxury food!" "Tomorrow he'll work with me." "Come have some water, Luisaltino." "Come on, Thiago." "Come drink some water." "ls that his shower?" "Yeah." "The water comes out warm, they like it." "The thrush flew away?" "Yeah." "What would Felipe have said?" "Imagine!" "Nobody has a single picture of Felipe." "You want this?" "What else is in that bag?" "Amazing how much junk Felipe collected!" "Here, Rosa." "I want to put it here." "That 's right." "Pull it this way." "With your arm." "Good." "Son... look at that." "I can sell all that corn to Joao das Lages." "You see?" "How many sacks, do you think?" "Hold that mare, Mr. Deogracias." "She's going to kill me!" "Mother, give Mr. Deogracias some coffee." "Cheese?" "I'll just taste it." "You want some too, son?" "Hang on." "Then keep your trap!" "You must be strong." "You must calm down, Mr. Bero." "Mr. Deogracias..." "God's closing all the doors on me." "I can't even look ahead." "Thiago, I'll teach you... a spell that will make any woman fall in love with you." "I mean, any woman!" "Get some earth that a woman peed on." "Then add to it... three sauba ants." "It never fails!" "No wonder your father says you're a bit slow." "He wishes you had died, not Felipe." "Get off me!" "Stop it!" "Go away!" "Go back to your father." "You think you're better than us?" "It 's better this way, Thiago." "Your father will soon calm down." "Come on, move!" "The girl went to talk to him... and he spoke about storms, hail, gusts of wind... and thunder and lightning." "He spoke about things from the sky to hit on the girl." "That 's what he spoke about." "The girl felt embarrassed, she didn't know what to say." "So she didn't go out with him." "Thiago, it 's your turn." "Don't you know any stories?" "It 's your turn now." "He knows many stories, but doesn't realize it yet." "Let 's listen to Onilo then, he's too quiet." "Terez!" "How are you?" "Look at that!" "Uncle!" "You're a real cowboy now!" "Look at you!" "I can't believe it." "Come here." "How are things?" "Grab your hat." "How are things up on the hills?" "It 's so cold in the mountains!" "How are you?" "Listen, Thiago..." "Don't be scared..." "There was a bad fight." "Your father killed Luisaltino." "It was an accident." "Your father disappeared." "Your mother wants you back home." "Hello." "What 's your name?" "Thiago." "I'm Felipe's brother." "is he the owner here?" "No, sir." "Felipe's in Heaven." "is the hunt going to start here?" "No, at Mr. Aristeu's." "Over that way." "Near that tree with the hawk?" "Where?" "Over there." "Can't you see it?" "Thiago, who's home now?" "My mom, my brother and sisters." "Can we go inside?" "What are you a doctor of?" "l am... a general practitioner." "So you do everything?" "Yes, a bit of everything." "I like to come to these parts." "How many children do you have?" "I had five, but lost one." "And Thiago is..." "The second." "What 's he like?" "Well, he is..." "a bit of a dreamer." "He likes to be alone." "But he's normal, right?" "Likes to take walks, likes to play... I think he's a bit too quiet." "Does he have headaches?" "Sometimes." "And he sleeps badly too... and has nightmares." "Tell me..." "How many stones do you see in that wall?" "What about the clothesline?" "How many clothespins do you see?" "Come here." "And now?" "The stones..." "Everything's bigger." "Geez!" "Everything's so bright!" "Rosa!" "Thiago's blind as a bat!" "Where's that man?" "He went hunting in the valley." "He'll stop by before going back to town." "He said that if you want, he can take you along with him." "He's a friend of Mr. Aristeu's." "In town, he'll get you glasses... he'll send you to school." "Then you'll learn a trade." "Do you want to go?" "Go with him, my love." "If we can... at the end of the year... we'll come to town as well." "One day, we'll all be together again." "Do you want to take Felipe's sandals?" "They still fit you." "You want them?" "Mom, is it by the sea?" "Or is it near Tabuleiro Branco?" "is it far away?" "It isn't near Tabuleiro Branco." "It 's somewhere else, but it 's farther away." "Why do all things happen, mom?" "Thiago, shall we go?" "Doctor, may I?" "subtitled BY EVALDO DE MEDElROS PROCESSED BY L.V.T." " paris"
