"Aimé Césaire who died in Martinique:" "Because I saw the picture when he was dead:" "Death means, for example, when there is a fish and a boy sees the fish that is dead he says to a papa:" ""Papa," ""Leave it, it's sleeping:"" ""No, Gaston, it's dead:"" "Death, we're:" "we're not allowed to get ourselves killed:" "If someone attacks us, we're dead forever and the other one goes to prison:" "Someone who's dead is someone who doesn't breathe anymore," "who doesn't move anymore:" "Their eyes are closed:" "Even deceased people are dead:" "Deceased and dead, is it the same thing?" " Not the same:" " Deceased:" " No:" "Deceased:" "What does that mean, being deceased?" "Who wants to explain?" "N'Dickou, what does it mean?" "Someone who's deceased, he's dead in a coffin:" "Is it the same thing or not, deceased and dead?" "Is being dead and deceased the same?" "It's not the same, it's just that when you're deceased, you're in a coffin, but when you're dead, you're not in a coffin:" "It's the same:" "Yes, it's the same:" "It's the same:" "What about a coffin, what's that for?" "You don't go in the grave, first they put the person in the coffin, and then they put the coffin in the grave:" "If someone is dead you can still give gifts:" "Gifts on the grave:" "Well, that's different:" "I don't agree with Shana because when you put gifts on a grave, well, you're dead forever, you're dead under the ground, forever:" "Gifts to put on graves, what are they for?" " Nothing:" " For praying:" "Praying, tell us what you mean:" "Shana, you must learn to listen too:" "It's not for anything:" "It's nothing, it's just decoration:" "You have to decorate with flowers:" "What are the flowers for?" "Sometimes they take necklaces and bracelets to pray:" "To pray:" "What's that, then?" "Praying is for speaking to God, and so God, he raises up people who we want to be still on earth:" "You mean he brings them back on earth?" "On earth, she said:" "When we die, we're buried, and after we go to the paradise of our God:" "When you die it means" "it's for a long time and then you go to heaven:" "Because in heaven there's the Virgin Mary:" " Who's that?" " Yes, she's flying:" " She's a goddess:" " She's a goddess:" "In heaven there's the Virgin Mary and Father Christmas:" "And then you are an angel:" "Our soul goes to God, not our skin:" "It's our soul:" "What's that, our soul?" "It's an invisible thing that's blue:" " It's invisible?" " And it comes out of our tummy:" "I'll ask you a question, listen carefully:" "When you learn that someone's dead, how do you feel in your body and in your head?" "When someone dies, it's maybe someone's grandpa, mother, or their father:" "We're sad because it's our mother or our father:" "And then, next, it hurts us in our own hearts:" " What if your mama died?"

"That way his mama's in his heart and he can always think of his mother:" "That's it, they're capable of staying with the topic, bouncing it around even with the other kids' comments, reacting, knowing if they agree or not, and building an argument, so some kids can do it:" "There's lots going on with the parents, kids are saying to me:" ""I talked about that with mama in the car,"" ""I talked about:"" "So I think the parents understand they're also involved here and it's important:" "It'll also help them to answer questions they are asked at home:" "I think some parents prepare for it long in advance:" "You can see it in the more considered views:" " I said it's just the teachers:" " OK, just teachers:" "But when teachers scold their kids at home, cos teachers are mamas, does it mean they don't love them?" "I don't want to be filmed dying:" "What d'you do?" "Can't remember?" " What?" " I said we talked about love:" "I'm just asking:" "I'd like to know why you got told off:" "Whose it not going well with?" "Teachers?" "Supervisors?" "Parents?" "When grandpas scold you, do they love you?" "Aunts and uncles?" "Doesn't Aunty love you?" "No, I didn't say my aunts and uncles," "Just the teachers:" "You didn't answer me:" "Teachers don't have to love the kids:" "When you're told off, they don't love you?"

" Cos he wanted to be free:" " He wanted to be free:" "Will you be free one day?" "Yes, one day we'll be free:" " Yes, certainly:" " Yes, it's certain:" "Why certainly?" "If we're never free it's because the parents are nasty and they're not free:" "We're not free cos we're not grown-up:" "Are adults free or not?" "No, sometimes not:" "Why?" "What d'you think, N'Dickou?" "Rosemay?" "Are papa and mama free?" "My papa isn't free because he has a long job to do, and he has to do all the work:" "Do you agree with that?"

"No:" " Yes:" " Because they're grown-up:" "Can grown-ups do what they want?" "Yes:" "Not everything they want, because:" "Yes:" "No, not everything they want, cos if you write on a wall, the police, there's them too:" "And if you do anything really serious, you go to prison:" "When you're grown-up, and you're a big person, well then after you can do what you want, but not just anything:" "I'd like to know, is it normal for things to be forbidden?" " Yes, it's normal:" " No:" "It's cos you're not grown-up?" "And cos parents, sometimes, are afraid if something happens to us:" "I'm not afraid if things happen to me:" "Inès?"

" Adults:" "Are they allowed to be free?" "Yes they're allowed, they're allowed to walk around:" "But sometimes I'm free all the time over there," "I'm always going out alone:" "In SenegaI, you're always free, but not when you come here?" "Yes:" "Why that difference?" "It's interesting:" "Sorry, we should've stopped:" "What's the difference between that country and France?" " It's normal:" " Why's there a difference?" "Because France, they say sometimes that" "it's a great country, but SenegaI is still a medium country:" "But over there, I go where I want," "I go as far as Dakar beach, and I also go even farther than Dakar:" "You can go to Dakar beach?" "Yes, I can go to Almadies:" " That's cool:" " Alone?" "To Dakar beach?"

"Why did she steal the bread?" "Afterwards, there's the police who came:" "It was them and they put on the handcuffs:" "I don't think all the time:" "Do you like it when you're thinking?" "Why don't you like it?" "Because it takes too long:" "OK, that's a reason:" "N'Dickou, do you like thinking?" "I like thinking:" " Why?" " Because afterwards, it:" "I like sleeping:" "After it gives me some ideas to do something:" "Hey, N'Dickou!" "That's a good reason, too:" "Yesterday, I couldn't stay awake:" "My brain helps me to think, my head helps me think, it's not tired" "and I talk all the time:" "So you like it:" "Shall we go on?"
