On Easter Sunday, Plínio, a retired carpenter, waits for his family's visit, but they don't show up. Anselmo, the household gardener, offers him a lift home. Along the way, Plínio revisits his memories of the neighborhood where he was born and raised, but when he gets there, a surprise puts his memories in check.

Me too.
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:35.000
WAY BACK HOME
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.480
Want some more? You barely ate.
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:54.300
Look.
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.400
The new guy. He is mispruning the bushes.
00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:59.520
Yes.
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.260
Hey boy!
00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.900
Listen. You have to start pruning from the bottom. Down below.
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.720
Or it won’t sprout.
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.200
Leave it to me, Mr. Plínio. I know how to prune.
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:12.900
No, you don’t.
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.500
You know nothing cause it won’t sprout.
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:16.320
It won’t grow.
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:17.120
Won’t grow.
00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:18.020
It won’t grow.
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:19.840
No chance.
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.340
Doesn’t grow.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.920
Doesn’t grow.
00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:41.500
HAPPY EASTER
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:19.140
Gonna have codfish with your family today, Mr. Plínio?
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.000
I don’t like fish. I don’t eat it.
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.880
My people will be arriving anytime now.
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:29.500
Yes.
00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:30.850
Wait for them and they’ll…
00:04:30.950 --> 00:04:31.450
Come?
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.760
They’ll come.
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.700
They will. My sons and my daughter in law are coming today.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.320
You…
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.800
Is someone coming for you?
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:40.800
Yes.
00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:42.000
Yes?
00:04:42.200 --> 00:04:44.100
My family is coming.
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:45.940
My mom. My…
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.000
My cousins.
00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.500
They are all coming to pick me up.
00:04:52.900 --> 00:04:54.900
I also have a lot of people.
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.440
Today is a big party. They are all coming.
00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:58.600
Good, huh?
00:04:58.900 --> 00:04:59.400
Yes.
00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:01.300
Very good.
00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:01.850
Yes.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.000
Having visitors is nice.
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.020
Going out a bit.
00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:07.000
Yes.
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.340
How many children do you have?
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.020
None.
00:05:12.200 --> 00:05:13.000
None?
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:14.920
I didn’t marry.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.600
Stayed on the shelf then?
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.240
Thanks God.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.100
Yes. Sometimes…
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.860
We do feel like thanking God.
00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:42.220
Let’s go, Mr. Plínio?
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.140
I’m taking you home.
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.120
I already talked to the sisters, everything ok.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.240
Don’t you live in Santana?
00:05:49.950 --> 00:05:51.110
Santana?
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.260
I do.
00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.500
So let’s go. It’s on my way home.
00:05:53.700 --> 00:05:54.200
Is it?
00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:55.660
Let’s go. Courage.
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:56.720
To Santana?
00:05:56.500 --> 00:05:57.360
Santana.
00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.040
Yes, let’s go.
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.900
Why are you going around so much?
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.680
I don’t know this way.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:11.540
What street is this?
00:06:11.700 --> 00:06:13.360
We’re trying to avoid traffic, Mr. Plínio.
00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:14.140
Ok.
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.000
But there is no traffic today. It’s a holiday.
00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:20.280
It’s always heavy traffic to go to the North District.
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.020
No matter day or night.
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.180
Instead of doing so much zig zag, so much going around,
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:29.800
We’d better row down the Tietê river.
00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:31.700
This river is rotten, Mr. Plínio.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.500
Aren’t you afraid?
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.120
You might come across a capybara, get ticks.
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.280
What?
00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:39.170
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
00:06:39.300 --> 00:06:42.000
I swam a lot in this river.
00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:42.920
A lot.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.800
You should’ve seen on boat racing day,
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.000
It was the Tietê Club against Espéria and Germânia.
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:52.800
Always a big crowd watching!
00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:55.280
Was the water clean?
00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.500
It was. It was.
00:06:57.550 --> 00:06:58.890
It was clean.
00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:00.800
I caught a lot of fish there.
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.000
I caught piapara.
00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.500
Caught mandi, catfish.
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.160
Even pacu at times.
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:12.240
A lot of fish.
00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:17.000
Nobody remembers anything now.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
Continue straight. 800 meters.
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:26.040
What is this lady saying? Who is this lady?
00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:27.120
It’s Waze.
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:30.300
You just put in the address and it tells you the way.
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.380
Werlzelze?
00:07:33.450 --> 00:07:34.790
Waze. Waze.
00:07:36.900 --> 00:07:38.900
There’s a map of the whole city in there, Mr. Plínio.
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:39.500
In there?
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.000
Yes. Nowadays no one has to know the way home anymore.
00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.400
Turn left.
00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:48.060
Turn right.
00:08:02.900 --> 00:08:05.260
I didn't know there was a lookout point
here in Santana, Mr. Plinio
00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:07.300
From here you can see the whole city.
00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:09.080
No need for this Elza thing.
00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:35.120
Let’s take a photo?
00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:36.640
A picture?
00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.080
Here now. closer.
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.120
There. Over there. On the left.
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.040
It’s a small house, with a small garden,
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:52.200
A garage,
00:08:52.400 --> 00:08:55.000
And a small gate.
00:08:55.900 --> 00:08:58.180
As soon as you pass by the bakery,
00:08:58.250 --> 00:08:59.330
The portuguese’s bakery.
00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:00.120
Joaquim.
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.000
A miser and a bastard.
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.060
It was here.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.000
It was here…
00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:45.500
What happened? It was here…
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.700
Come on Plínio.
00:09:46.900 --> 00:09:48.440
My boys…
00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:50.880
There is nothing here anymore.
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.000
They used to play…
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.000
It was here.
00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:24.000
Do you like pasta?
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.700
Hungry?
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.020
Let’s go?
00:11:08.900 --> 00:11:10.000
It’s nice and warm.
00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:16.220
I’ll serve you, ok?
00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:16.440
Want some?
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.780
More?
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.420
Cheese.
00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:51.380
Your pasta was quite good.
00:11:53.060 --> 00:11:53.560
Yes.
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.550
Living alone,
00:11:57.900 --> 00:12:00.000
We have to figure things out.
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:04.000
We learn.
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.640
Well, I think people might be getting worried.
00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:13.300
Yes.
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.600
Time to get back. Let’s go?
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.500
I wanted to give you something,
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.000
As a gift for today.
00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:32.620
Never mind Mr. Plínio.
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.060
I am the one to say thank you.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.000
I made it myself.
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.500
Give me a minute. I’ll put it somewhere.
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.580
Let’s go Plínio?
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.960
Come.
