A pioneering Chilean–Costa Rican documentary, "130 Children" chronicles the extraordinary life of Melba (65) and Víctor (70), who have built a family spanning over 40 years—raising six biological children and more than 130 foster children.
The film opens with an intimate portrait of morning rituals in a household of forty-plus individuals preparing for school, university, and daily life—until the house falls silent as they depart. Through this quietude, the documentary invites reflections on kinship beyond genetics, collective caregiving, and intergenerational responsibility.
Director Ainara Aparici uses observational cinema to interrogate questions of sustainable family structures, hope, and compassion, making the work a compelling case for scholars in social anthropology, family studies, and human rights cinema.

00:00:46.208 --> 00:00:47.542
Hello.
00:00:50.667 --> 00:00:52.834
My name is Johnny Araya Sanchez.
00:00:52.875 --> 00:00:56.959
My real siblings are
German, Jojo and Victoria,
00:00:57.792 --> 00:01:00.000
and my siblings
00:01:00.542 --> 00:01:03.000
who aren’t real siblings…
00:01:03.542 --> 00:01:08.166
are Mario, Natasha,
Nicole, Slim,
00:01:09.667 --> 00:01:11.834
…Vanessa, Marisol…
00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:13.959
Hellen!
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.708
Hellen… Jason, Luis David,
00:01:18.333 --> 00:01:21.041
Alvaro, Veronica…
00:01:23.542 --> 00:01:25.875
- The milk, the milk
- …Dilan…
00:01:26.333 --> 00:01:28.708
- I have to go…
- …Cesar…
00:01:30.542 --> 00:01:32.208
- And many more.
- Yes.
00:01:37.917 --> 00:01:41.166
Are you going to look handsome
for school? For “school”…
00:01:45.917 --> 00:01:47.750
Use both hands, honey.
00:01:53.583 --> 00:01:55.375
- Carlos!
- Carlos, no!
00:01:55.375 --> 00:01:56.834
You’re only using one hand.
00:01:59.291 --> 00:02:01.333
Now between the two of you.
00:02:01.333 --> 00:02:03.166
Where are your school shoes?
00:02:03.166 --> 00:02:04.542
Upstairs.
00:02:04.542 --> 00:02:06.875
I hope they’re up there
like you say…
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.125
Daddy!
00:02:17.458 --> 00:02:19.166
No, I don't have classes.
00:02:21.834 --> 00:02:23.375
[Indistinct]
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.083
Bye. Give me a kiss. I do, too.
00:02:38.125 --> 00:02:40.917
Stop with the bread, OK?
He’s eating the bread…
00:02:41.166 --> 00:02:42.792
God be with you.
00:02:44.166 --> 00:02:45.417
You, up front, Natasha.
00:02:45.417 --> 00:02:47.458
Sit there. You're the last one out.
00:02:49.625 --> 00:02:50.583
Victor’s missing.
00:02:52.625 --> 00:02:53.625
Where’s Dilan?
00:02:55.125 --> 00:02:56.250
He hasn’t bathed.
00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:59.250
- He was told to make his bed.
- No, it’s too late for that.
00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:00.959
It’s just… send him out.
00:03:01.875 --> 00:03:03.542
You can make his bed.
00:03:04.208 --> 00:03:05.000
Who?
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.458
Any one of you,
but he has to go to school.
00:03:16.542 --> 00:03:18.208
Wait, Victor.
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:20.208
Come here. Inside.
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:33.041
Let me see, what happened there?
00:03:35.583 --> 00:03:37.333
He hurt you by accident.
00:03:37.458 --> 00:03:39.917
Sit down,
even if it’s on the floor, honey.
00:03:42.708 --> 00:03:44.834
Here, put this on the floor.
00:03:45.291 --> 00:03:47.333
Be good,
I don’t want any complaints…
00:03:47.333 --> 00:03:49.375
- Bye
- No complaints from the teachers.
00:03:49.375 --> 00:03:51.125
- Bye, Mommy!
- God be with you.
00:03:51.125 --> 00:03:53.041
- Bye, Mommy.
- Bye.
00:03:53.542 --> 00:03:54.625
Be good.
00:03:54.625 --> 00:03:55.750
Bye Mom.
00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:46.875
“130 CHILDREN”
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:50.917
What a shame,
00:04:50.917 --> 00:04:53.959
but I have to say I met my husband
at his girlfriend’s house.
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.500
His girlfriend at the time.
00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:59.000
- Not my girlfriend, my friend.
- He says that, but it’s not true.
00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.834
Anyway.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.041
Then we got to know each other
and we got married very young
00:05:04.458 --> 00:05:07.125
I was barely...
00:05:07.291 --> 00:05:08.417
15 years old.
00:05:08.792 --> 00:05:11.500
Now, on October 21,
00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:13.959
we’ll have been together
50 years.
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.000
We got married in 1966.
00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:18.583
- A very rainy day.
- Yes.
00:05:20.041 --> 00:05:22.208
They say that’s a blessing,
and it has been.
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.708
We have six biological children.
00:05:26.708 --> 00:05:28.291
When our fourth daughter
00:05:28.417 --> 00:05:31.000
had just turned three,
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:35.750
she got an illness that wasn’t
treatable with surgery or anything,
00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:38.875
so there wasn’t much
we could do.
00:05:40.417 --> 00:05:42.959
And shortly after,
a boy was abandoned
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.542
with terminal pancreatic cancer.
00:05:48.708 --> 00:05:52.000
The doctor said that he knew
that he was dying
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.708
and that he had been abandoned.
00:05:54.875 --> 00:05:58.500
He didn’t want to see him die alone
and he asked if I wanted to help.
00:06:00.083 --> 00:06:02.375
It wasn’t easy,
and it was long,
00:06:03.667 --> 00:06:05.917
but today I can tell you…
00:06:07.125 --> 00:06:10.125
God was great and merciful
and he healed both of them.
00:06:11.583 --> 00:06:13.041
I told God,
00:06:13.041 --> 00:06:16.500
as thanks for saving
both of my children’s lives,
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.959
I’m going to hand you
my life and my home.
00:06:20.333 --> 00:06:24.667
Days later, the hospital called us
about another girl, then a boy,
00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:27.792
then we were contacted
by National Children’s Institute,
00:06:27.792 --> 00:06:29.291
and our home was born.
00:06:35.834 --> 00:06:38.708
OK, it’s 8:15! Let’s go!
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:40.959
Mom…
00:06:41.208 --> 00:06:42.875
we don’t know what’s what,
00:06:42.875 --> 00:06:45.667
boys and girls pajamas are mixed
and this one is for girls…
00:06:45.667 --> 00:06:47.083
Luis Alberto, close the door!
00:06:47.125 --> 00:06:50.250
No, no, no, let's go,
you're on the clock for school.
00:06:51.208 --> 00:06:53.625
And don’t make me
come here again.
00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:56.625
Honey don’t put
the dirty clothes there please.
00:06:56.834 --> 00:06:58.291
What’s that smell?
00:06:58.708 --> 00:07:00.959
We already took care of the smell…
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.125
- It's because you're–
- Close it!
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.500
Leave her alone!
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.542
Alakazab!
00:07:16.667 --> 00:07:18.291
Enough, Marito.
00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:22.917
We thank you for all you have done,
in the name of Jesus Christ,
00:07:22.917 --> 00:07:23.917
- Amen.
- Amen.
00:07:25.041 --> 00:07:26.291
See you tomorrow.
00:07:26.667 --> 00:07:28.000
See you tomorrow, Dad.
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.750
OK, turn off the light.
00:08:07.542 --> 00:08:09.750
My name is Isabel,
00:08:09.917 --> 00:08:11.208
I came here…
00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.667
At three going on four,
and now I’m 21, so…
00:08:14.667 --> 00:08:16.875
I’ve lived here
for about 17 years.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.083
I remember Mom got to the shelter
where we were,
00:08:24.083 --> 00:08:28.291
and she saw me,
and felt so sorry for me!
00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:32.000
Because she says
I was so skinny.
00:08:32.333 --> 00:08:34.250
So she saw me,
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:36.792
and she said, I want to adopt her.
00:08:37.917 --> 00:08:39.750
But I had two more siblings,
00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:41.750
so she brought us here.
00:08:41.750 --> 00:08:45.667
I remember that before coming here
we went to the beach.
00:08:46.333 --> 00:08:48.375
Will you be done soon?
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.834
I have to go to University.
00:08:54.166 --> 00:08:56.417
Come on, girls, stop playing.
00:09:02.834 --> 00:09:06.417
My name is Francis,
I’m 22 years old.
00:09:06.417 --> 00:09:09.583
I came when I was eight
with my sister, Gabriela.
00:09:10.333 --> 00:09:13.625
We’re twins.
She already got married.
00:09:16.041 --> 00:09:19.166
My mom worked cleaning houses…
00:09:19.834 --> 00:09:21.667
My aunt took care of us…
00:09:21.667 --> 00:09:24.333
Well, not really.
She kept us in her yard.
00:09:24.333 --> 00:09:26.083
Careful, Carlos, it’s spilling!
00:09:31.166 --> 00:09:34.291
Once, when we didn’t want
to live any longer,
00:09:34.542 --> 00:09:38.291
we drank bleach,
disinfectant, soap,
00:09:38.667 --> 00:09:41.208
and nothing happened,
not even diarrhea.
00:09:47.542 --> 00:09:50.875
We came here because
my sister had a broken arm,
00:09:51.417 --> 00:09:53.458
and I had bruises.
00:09:55.959 --> 00:09:59.166
My mom… she brought me
into the world but that’s it.
00:09:59.458 --> 00:10:02.333
Maybe she didn’t hurt me
as much as my aunt, but…
00:10:03.250 --> 00:10:05.125
when you’re a mom…
00:10:05.417 --> 00:10:08.250
you give everything
for your children, and she didn’t.
00:10:39.208 --> 00:10:40.417
Mom!
00:10:41.166 --> 00:10:44.291
- Yes?
- Auntie Olga is calling you!
00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:46.959
Tell her I’ll call her
in a second!
00:10:50.458 --> 00:10:54.708
At first
it was a bit hard to understand.
00:10:54.708 --> 00:10:56.208
I remember thinking,
00:10:56.208 --> 00:11:00.917
why did my mom have to bring
children or other people home.
00:11:01.750 --> 00:11:03.875
My feeling was that…
00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:07.125
I had lost my mom.
00:11:09.667 --> 00:11:11.708
My other friends…
00:11:12.041 --> 00:11:14.375
each had their own mom.
00:11:15.166 --> 00:11:16.750
But in my case,
00:11:16.750 --> 00:11:19.208
she wasn’t just mine
or my siblings’ mom,
00:11:19.208 --> 00:11:21.083
she was a mom to a ton of people.
00:11:32.875 --> 00:11:34.500
Your daughter told me
00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:37.208
that you don’t let
anyone else do laundry.
00:11:37.417 --> 00:11:40.291
Yes, unfortunately
I’m a little obsessive about it.
00:11:40.291 --> 00:11:42.583
My daughter washed this yesterday.
00:11:42.583 --> 00:11:44.333
One of my many daughters,
00:11:44.333 --> 00:11:47.417
and now I’m washing it again.
I hope she doesn’t see me.
00:11:48.333 --> 00:11:52.166
Because I make sure
the clothes are really clean.
00:11:52.792 --> 00:11:54.166
It’s something personal,
00:11:54.917 --> 00:11:56.750
I like them to look very clean.
00:11:58.208 --> 00:11:59.208
See?
00:12:00.333 --> 00:12:01.875
So...
00:12:01.875 --> 00:12:05.959
That’s why I’m particular sometimes
about the clothes.
00:12:09.375 --> 00:12:10.917
Mom!
00:12:20.917 --> 00:12:24.000
You’re already 14, you should know
how to iron your shirt.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.333
Mommy, we're out of size 16,
all I can give him is a 10.
00:12:27.333 --> 00:12:28.542
Yeah, give him a 10.
00:12:28.917 --> 00:12:31.250
- It’s too small for me.
- Too bad…
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.458
That one is for the little ones.
00:12:36.041 --> 00:12:37.875
Take this one, look,
remember, here…
00:12:37.875 --> 00:12:39.750
Mom, does Steven need
a school shirt?
00:12:39.750 --> 00:12:42.625
If he takes one
he has to help us sort the clothes.
00:12:42.625 --> 00:12:46.041
No, no, he’d only continue
to make a mess by helping.
00:12:46.333 --> 00:12:48.208
Mommy, they can help too!
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.083
We help Mommy more than
you do in the laundry room.
00:12:52.083 --> 00:12:53.834
Stop, I don’t want fighting…
00:12:57.125 --> 00:12:58.125
She just–
00:12:58.125 --> 00:13:00.667
You don’t have to respond, my love.
00:13:06.333 --> 00:13:08.959
Who took the bananas
from this thing?!
00:13:11.917 --> 00:13:14.041
Who took the bananas
from this thing?!
00:13:14.208 --> 00:13:15.375
- Not me.
- None of you?
00:13:15.667 --> 00:13:17.667
I ate from the other one.
00:13:17.667 --> 00:13:19.458
I ate from another one!
00:13:21.125 --> 00:13:22.959
Those bananas were...
00:13:23.542 --> 00:13:25.542
I asked if we could have seconds.
00:13:28.250 --> 00:13:31.125
I’m not asking who had seconds;
who took them?
00:13:31.125 --> 00:13:32.000
I didn’t.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.375
I ate from the yellow one.
00:13:33.375 --> 00:13:35.375
You’re all going to cook
for Mom and Dad,
00:13:35.375 --> 00:13:37.917
because those were theirs.
So get a move on…
00:13:37.917 --> 00:13:39.708
I ate from the yellow one.
00:13:39.708 --> 00:13:43.291
So it was no one,
so the Holy Spirit ate the bananas!
00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:45.917
I remember when
we were a family of 4,
00:13:45.917 --> 00:13:48.959
then I remember when we were 5, 6,
00:13:49.792 --> 00:13:52.166
when we became 10
00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.959
I remember thinking we
were already so many…
00:13:55.542 --> 00:14:00.542
and wondering how…
we could stop my mom.
00:14:01.208 --> 00:14:03.625
Then someone left home,
00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:08.250
and we always say
that when someone leaves,
00:14:08.250 --> 00:14:11.000
you have to be very careful,
because three come back.
00:14:11.625 --> 00:14:16.000
When the National Institute that
advocates for children, PANI,
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.375
would call me and say,
00:14:17.375 --> 00:14:19.917
Mrs. Melba, please help us
with three children,
00:14:19.917 --> 00:14:24.041
I'd say, yes,
but please wait until Monday.
00:14:24.291 --> 00:14:26.500
Yes, she always waited
for me to leave.
00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:30.875
I always thought,
how were we going to support them?
00:14:31.667 --> 00:14:33.083
Financially, as well.
00:14:33.417 --> 00:14:36.792
She waited for my work trips
from Monday to Friday,
00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:40.041
and when I got back,
I’d find one or two more,
00:14:40.041 --> 00:14:41.708
sometimes even three.
00:14:42.375 --> 00:14:44.834
- Yes.
- Telling me it was temporary,
00:14:44.834 --> 00:14:48.000
but the temporary ones
are 40 years old now.
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.000
What's up?
00:16:07.917 --> 00:16:09.542
She said, bring in your things.
00:16:09.542 --> 00:16:12.542
You'll stay with “twitchy”
and everyone in the room upstairs.
00:16:12.542 --> 00:16:14.375
Get your things,
you’re staying here,
00:16:14.375 --> 00:16:15.959
not coming back with us.
00:16:16.625 --> 00:16:19.625
- Go get your things.
- Let’s go, I’ll help you…
00:16:19.625 --> 00:16:22.458
All the things you were given,
your clothes, shoes…
00:16:22.875 --> 00:16:24.417
Man,
take care of the boy.
00:16:24.417 --> 00:16:26.750
If you don’t,
I won’t bring you anything else.
00:16:27.291 --> 00:16:29.667
He’s just like you were
when you came here.
00:16:30.708 --> 00:16:32.333
Spoiled, stubborn and nasty.
00:16:32.333 --> 00:16:34.333
You have to help him
change his life.
00:16:34.333 --> 00:16:36.333
No really, seriously.
00:16:36.333 --> 00:16:38.083
Does he have a long way to go?
00:16:38.333 --> 00:16:40.750
- Yes, he does.
- He is badly behaved.
00:16:41.083 --> 00:16:44.166
- You let me know, man.
- Look how he is with me.
00:16:45.291 --> 00:16:46.583
I'm gonna loot his car…
00:16:47.125 --> 00:16:49.500
- Is he staying with us?
- Yes, in your room.
00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:51.500
I’m gonna mess up your car.
00:16:51.750 --> 00:16:53.875
He’s gonna go see
what’s in your car!
00:16:53.875 --> 00:16:57.291
Oh no you’re not!
Last time you took two bucks!
00:17:00.417 --> 00:17:01.834
Man, these guys...
00:17:09.125 --> 00:17:10.542
What's up, brother?
00:17:10.542 --> 00:17:11.500
Oops, I hit him.
00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:12.667
Why is he here?
00:17:12.667 --> 00:17:15.208
Because he has no parents,
like you guys.
00:17:16.625 --> 00:17:18.125
- He doesn’t have a dad?
- No.
00:17:18.125 --> 00:17:21.291
- Who was he with all that time?
- With me, in the house.
00:17:22.708 --> 00:17:24.583
He’s been with me several days.
00:17:24.917 --> 00:17:28.125
- What if he wants to leave?
- Then he has to be brought back.
00:17:28.125 --> 00:17:29.583
If he wants to leave, he can.
00:17:29.583 --> 00:17:31.291
Did you want to leave
when you got here?
00:17:31.291 --> 00:17:32.291
No, no.
00:17:32.291 --> 00:17:33.917
Then he won’t either, right?
00:17:33.917 --> 00:17:35.667
Where is he? Yuneiker?
00:17:35.875 --> 00:17:37.625
- Who?
- Yuneiker, where is he?
00:17:37.625 --> 00:17:38.792
Here!
00:17:40.667 --> 00:17:41.792
What’s wrong?
00:17:43.959 --> 00:17:47.041
Come, let’s talk
about this over there.
00:17:48.166 --> 00:17:50.250
- No, no!
- Go on, go on...
00:17:54.667 --> 00:17:57.041
Don’t cry, we’re gonna chat, OK?
00:17:57.041 --> 00:17:58.375
Sit here.
00:18:00.417 --> 00:18:02.000
You don’t have to cry anymore.
00:18:02.166 --> 00:18:06.041
Here you’ll have a family
and friends who love you.
00:18:06.041 --> 00:18:07.500
OK, buddy?
00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:10.708
I’m your friend, right?
Alright, alright.
00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:14.000
Don’t be sad, you’ll be great here.
00:18:14.291 --> 00:18:16.458
A lot of people love you here, OK?
00:18:16.458 --> 00:18:18.792
And I’ll check in with you
every day, alright?
00:18:18.792 --> 00:18:21.750
Yeah? Tomorrow I’ll come
and see how things are, hey.
00:18:22.333 --> 00:18:23.834
How does that sound?
00:18:23.834 --> 00:18:26.000
You’ll see how many friends
you make here.
00:18:26.166 --> 00:18:28.667
You’ll have
good clothes, good shoes…
00:18:28.667 --> 00:18:30.667
food every day.
00:18:31.125 --> 00:18:34.792
Everything you need, look,
there’s nothing you won’t have.
00:18:34.792 --> 00:18:36.625
And I’m here for you, OK?
00:18:36.625 --> 00:18:38.625
Yes? Sound good?
00:18:38.625 --> 00:18:40.834
If you don’t like it here, look…
00:18:41.125 --> 00:18:43.917
If you don’t like it here,
I’ll come and get you, OK?
00:18:44.625 --> 00:18:46.875
Good, it’s a deal.
Give me your hand.
00:18:47.458 --> 00:18:49.458
Deal. “Deal”.
00:18:50.208 --> 00:18:52.208
I love you, little guy.
00:18:52.542 --> 00:18:55.834
I’m doing you good,
believe me. Alright.
00:18:57.291 --> 00:18:58.792
Keep moving.
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:02.417
Let's go, I have to leave, OK?
00:19:03.166 --> 00:19:06.166
I’ll call Alvaro
to check on you, OK?
00:19:07.041 --> 00:19:09.667
Alright. Let’s see
where you’re going to sleep.
00:19:09.667 --> 00:19:11.041
Where is he sleeping?
00:19:12.583 --> 00:19:13.583
Huh?
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.750
They already brought his things up.
00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:17.625
But, Dilan wants to…
00:19:20.708 --> 00:19:21.750
Yes. OK.
00:19:22.250 --> 00:19:26.000
Come take him inside.
Go ahead with them, Yuneiker.
00:19:27.458 --> 00:19:29.583
Go on. Don’t cry anymore, kiddo.
00:19:30.291 --> 00:19:33.166
We all cried just like that
when we got here, right?
00:19:33.166 --> 00:19:34.625
Yes, I cried when I got here!
00:19:34.625 --> 00:19:35.875
- You cried, right?
- Yes!
00:19:35.875 --> 00:19:37.500
Everyone cried? Everyone cried.
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:39.375
He cried
when they shut the light off…
00:19:39.375 --> 00:19:41.000
OK, that’s enough.
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.792
because he missed his mom, too.
00:19:42.792 --> 00:19:44.750
We all cried
when we first came here.
00:19:44.750 --> 00:19:47.500
- We’ll take him to the trampoline.
- To the trampoline?
00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:50.458
- No, they’re putting one here.
- Now? Bring him upstairs.
00:19:50.458 --> 00:19:52.917
- Come with me.
- Go on, little guy, go with them.
00:19:52.917 --> 00:19:54.208
They’ll take care of you.
00:20:00.125 --> 00:20:01.583
Hey Yuneiker.
00:20:03.208 --> 00:20:05.375
Where is he sleeping? Take this.
00:20:07.959 --> 00:20:10.917
- And why did you take it off?
- Because I'm too hot.
00:20:11.250 --> 00:20:12.917
But it's not good for you.
00:20:13.750 --> 00:20:15.333
Mom, I’m putting this on.
00:20:15.792 --> 00:20:17.959
- It’s inside-out.
- No.
00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:22.792
Go get yourself a sweater.
00:20:23.166 --> 00:20:24.625
Go play a while.
00:20:24.625 --> 00:20:27.625
Don’t climb the tree sweetie
because it’s dangerous.
00:20:29.583 --> 00:20:30.208
Mommy?
00:20:46.834 --> 00:20:48.500
Mommy, is this hat yours?
00:20:49.166 --> 00:20:50.542
It was mine, but now…
00:20:50.959 --> 00:20:52.834
Girls, aren’t these pants…
00:20:53.583 --> 00:20:55.458
…Hellen’s?
00:20:55.750 --> 00:20:58.542
- They don’t fit Hellen.
- Of course they fit.
00:20:58.542 --> 00:21:00.375
They might, but they’re not hers.
00:21:00.542 --> 00:21:01.417
Mommy…
00:21:01.417 --> 00:21:03.041
You should help with the clothes.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.750
- She’ll scold us.
- Mommy.
00:21:05.750 --> 00:21:08.083
Mommy.
How many eggs should I put in this?
00:21:08.333 --> 00:21:10.708
I think it needs a bit more sugar
and mashing.
00:21:10.708 --> 00:21:12.708
More mashing,
but how many eggs?
00:21:12.708 --> 00:21:14.708
- About two.
- About three.
00:21:14.708 --> 00:21:16.166
- About three I would say...
00:21:16.166 --> 00:21:18.208
And that’s it.
I just mash it and…?
00:21:18.208 --> 00:21:19.625
And a little bit of sugar.
00:21:19.625 --> 00:21:22.917
- It needs butter.
- A bit of sugar and butter.
00:21:22.917 --> 00:21:23.959
Sugar or salt?
00:21:23.959 --> 00:21:25.750
And then I can make them.
00:21:27.834 --> 00:21:30.250
Yes and put a bit in the mixture.
00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:31.333
How much though?
00:21:31.667 --> 00:21:33.333
The mixture is very sticky.
00:21:33.917 --> 00:21:37.375
- What? A little bit?
- Just a little bit.
00:21:41.417 --> 00:21:43.083
Johnny and Dilan, to bed!
00:21:43.625 --> 00:21:46.041
Hey! You have to go to sleep now.
00:21:47.583 --> 00:21:49.417
You what? Didn't you hear?
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.750
You, too, Johnny, go.
00:21:56.083 --> 00:21:57.917
You have to go to bed early, go.
00:21:57.917 --> 00:22:01.291
Go to the bathroom,
brush your teeth and go to sleep.
00:22:02.375 --> 00:22:03.542
Does this fit you?
00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:05.542
Yes, huh?
00:22:06.708 --> 00:22:09.417
- Whose is it?
- No one’s.
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.333
Nobody’s, use it whenever you want.
00:22:12.708 --> 00:22:14.959
You pick out your pajamas
whenever you want.
00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:18.041
It’s nobody’s?
-No, they belong to everyone.
00:22:27.375 --> 00:22:29.583
There was a lot of garbage today!
00:22:31.041 --> 00:22:33.917
Who had to clean the room today?
Why you didn’t take out the trash?
00:22:33.917 --> 00:22:34.834
Maritza.
00:22:48.291 --> 00:22:50.250
OK, God be with you, honey.
00:22:50.250 --> 00:22:52.250
God be with you.
00:22:52.250 --> 00:22:54.250
Sleep well and peacefully.
00:22:56.041 --> 00:22:57.625
- Are you cold?
- No.
00:22:57.625 --> 00:22:58.792
No? OK, good.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.625
Did you pee?
Yes. You washed your hands right?
00:23:02.917 --> 00:23:04.375
Should I turn off the light?
00:23:58.333 --> 00:24:00.667
Papaya, on the beach…
00:24:01.792 --> 00:24:04.417
Lemon, lemonade.
00:24:05.417 --> 00:24:08.458
Yesterday, I went
to your house and I was fed.
00:24:08.458 --> 00:24:11.208
No. Yesterday, I went
to a dance and I was fed…
00:24:11.667 --> 00:24:14.125
…Rice, beans,
and uncooked tortillas.
00:24:14.375 --> 00:24:16.750
My crazy sister had a baby
and killed her,
00:24:17.125 --> 00:24:19.333
whoever moves, ate it
00:24:19.667 --> 00:24:22.667
with salt and lemon,
and gets a pinch!
00:24:34.250 --> 00:24:36.000
- Not me!
- I won’t do anything.
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.000
OK, OK
00:24:46.375 --> 00:24:48.250
Oh, I can't…
00:24:55.250 --> 00:24:57.208
Look what they left at the door...
00:24:59.750 --> 00:25:02.083
- Mom's headband!
- Hi, Daddy.
00:25:03.959 --> 00:25:06.875
- Who is he?
- The one who came with Don Beto.
00:25:07.750 --> 00:25:10.291
- Hello, how did you sleep?
- Mommy!
00:25:10.291 --> 00:25:13.000
- Did you sleep well?
- He's here for good now?
00:25:13.917 --> 00:25:16.041
- Mommy!
- What?
00:25:16.375 --> 00:25:17.917
She didn’t answer.
00:25:19.792 --> 00:25:22.417
Look where you left the food.
00:25:22.417 --> 00:25:24.875
That was… Alejandra.
00:25:31.583 --> 00:25:33.458
Pao, call that boy for me please,
00:25:33.458 --> 00:25:36.041
I don’t know his name,
it’s very strange.
00:25:36.041 --> 00:25:37.208
Yeah.
00:25:41.417 --> 00:25:43.375
- He’s already coming.
- Here he comes.
00:25:45.250 --> 00:25:48.083
Mom said to find you some clothes,
so you can bathe.
00:25:48.083 --> 00:25:49.792
Does this fit you?
00:25:49.792 --> 00:25:51.375
Nah-ah, It’s very small.
00:25:51.375 --> 00:25:54.375
Try it and if not, we'll change it.
00:25:54.542 --> 00:25:55.667
And this one?
00:25:57.041 --> 00:25:58.708
I don’t think so.
00:25:59.125 --> 00:26:00.333
Well try it on,
00:26:00.333 --> 00:26:02.375
if not, come back
to the laundry room.
00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:07.000
Go bathe,
so that you can have breakfast.
00:26:22.125 --> 00:26:23.458
Natasha!
00:26:37.959 --> 00:26:39.500
Salt is over here.
00:26:46.333 --> 00:26:48.542
At first it was my husband who
00:26:48.542 --> 00:26:51.583
took care of all
the children’s economic needs,
00:26:51.583 --> 00:26:54.750
then as time went by,
and there were more children,
00:26:54.750 --> 00:26:55.750
he said,
00:26:55.750 --> 00:26:58.458
“No more children,
we can’t support them all,”
00:26:58.458 --> 00:27:01.166
and I said, “Victor, don’t worry,
God will provide,”
00:27:01.166 --> 00:27:03.834
and he said, “Yes, but I’m the one
who has to work,”
00:27:03.834 --> 00:27:05.959
and well, that was partly true.
00:27:09.250 --> 00:27:12.041
To understand
how we’ve done it,
00:27:12.333 --> 00:27:16.917
I need to change the topic
to a spiritual one.
00:27:17.542 --> 00:27:19.542
It’s a bit hard to understand
00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:22.083
if we only think in material terms…
00:27:22.667 --> 00:27:24.333
Because doing the math,
00:27:24.333 --> 00:27:28.291
so much water, electricity, food…
00:27:28.542 --> 00:27:30.417
how do we handle the clothes, etc.,
00:27:30.417 --> 00:27:33.250
you start to run up a bill
00:27:33.708 --> 00:27:36.000
that only a bank
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.959
or a million-dollar institution
could handle.
00:27:38.959 --> 00:27:40.875
But really,
00:27:40.875 --> 00:27:45.417
I believe God supports the project
generously and to the fullest.
00:27:48.875 --> 00:27:51.917
Oh woman,
what a beauty, all this…
00:27:51.917 --> 00:27:55.375
Sometimes when people
come up to us and tell us,
00:27:55.959 --> 00:27:58.208
“We want to contribute
or do something,
00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:00.083
tell me how.”
00:28:00.291 --> 00:28:02.083
So then,
00:28:02.208 --> 00:28:03.708
everything becomes valuable.
00:28:03.917 --> 00:28:06.333
The people
who don’t contribute money
00:28:06.333 --> 00:28:09.417
but have time to study
with the children,
00:28:09.792 --> 00:28:12.500
already give us a lot of momentum.
00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.625
Then you add…
00:28:16.375 --> 00:28:20.583
Or the man
with a small farm who remembers us,
00:28:20.750 --> 00:28:25.458
and sometimes gets us
a box of potatoes or yuca,
00:28:25.542 --> 00:28:29.041
and it always arrives
at the most opportune moment.
00:28:30.291 --> 00:28:33.708
Amazingly, that’s how
we sustain ourselves.
00:28:47.333 --> 00:28:53.500
There’s a man who, with his wife,
decided to donate their home,
00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:58.041
and after a selection process
of which we weren’t even aware,
00:28:58.417 --> 00:29:01.583
he decided
to give the house to my parents.
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.875
Yuneiker, and your last name?
00:29:09.875 --> 00:29:11.250
Viso Garcia.
00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:13.375
- What?
- Viso Garcia.
00:29:13.375 --> 00:29:15.250
Viso Garcias.
00:29:16.583 --> 00:29:18.291
And what’s your name?
00:29:18.917 --> 00:29:21.083
- Cristiano Ronaldo.
- And then what?
00:29:21.834 --> 00:29:23.041
Wait, wait?!
00:29:23.625 --> 00:29:25.959
- Cristiano Ronaldo.
- No.
00:29:26.333 --> 00:29:27.917
You don’t believe me?
00:29:27.917 --> 00:29:28.917
- And you?
00:29:28.917 --> 00:29:32.834
- His name is Mike Wazowski.
- No, I don’t like that.
00:29:32.834 --> 00:29:34.625
You don’t believe
my name is Cristiano Ronaldo?
00:29:34.625 --> 00:29:35.667
- No?
- No.
00:29:37.041 --> 00:29:38.917
- What's his name?
- Who?
00:29:39.375 --> 00:29:41.125
Him? Him?
00:29:41.125 --> 00:29:43.208
I don't know. I don't know him.
00:29:48.708 --> 00:29:51.041
- His name is Dad.
- Dad?
00:29:52.166 --> 00:29:53.917
You call him Dad?
00:29:53.917 --> 00:29:55.708
He’s your dad?
00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:58.667
Really! You don't believe me?
00:29:59.375 --> 00:30:00.792
- Call him Dad.
- Huh?
00:30:00.792 --> 00:30:02.333
Call him Dad.
00:30:02.333 --> 00:30:03.542
Dad.
00:30:03.750 --> 00:30:06.083
OK, ask him who he is.
00:30:06.834 --> 00:30:08.500
Umm… Yuneiker
00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.959
- No, no, him.
- Oh! Dad.
00:30:09.959 --> 00:30:11.166
See?
00:30:37.417 --> 00:30:41.458
For the delicious food…
00:30:42.750 --> 00:30:45.125
we thank you,
00:30:45.583 --> 00:30:48.166
Blessed Lord.
00:30:48.667 --> 00:30:52.125
Together we ask you
00:30:52.458 --> 00:30:56.834
to bless this delicacy. Amen.
00:30:57.041 --> 00:30:59.041
I want a lot of that!
00:30:59.041 --> 00:31:00.333
Hellen!
00:31:01.875 --> 00:31:03.000
More salad.
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:04.041
Thanks
00:31:10.625 --> 00:31:12.708
No, no Wendy!
What are you doing?
00:31:12.708 --> 00:31:14.792
There’s a piece of garlic!
Don’t you see?
00:31:16.917 --> 00:31:18.667
What’s the big idea?
00:31:18.667 --> 00:31:20.000
- Wendy!
- No, Wendy, no!
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.208
This has no lemon.
00:31:22.667 --> 00:31:24.542
Ohh I don't like it.
00:31:36.083 --> 00:31:37.708
With broth, you said?
00:31:39.625 --> 00:31:41.041
And nothing else?
00:31:43.834 --> 00:31:45.000
Here you go.
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.500
Dad… I’m going now,
I’m gonna run.
00:31:47.625 --> 00:31:51.208
- Run where?
- No, to run… running!
00:31:51.417 --> 00:31:52.542
Why can’t I?
00:31:52.542 --> 00:31:53.917
- It’s not time for that.
00:31:53.917 --> 00:31:56.500
-Dad, it’s 3:00 PM.
- Now’s not the time.
00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:58.041
What time does it have to be?
00:31:58.041 --> 00:32:00.166
- Morning.
- I couldn’t run in the morning.
00:32:00.166 --> 00:32:01.625
At 4:00 in the morning
00:32:01.625 --> 00:32:04.333
No. OK, I’m going. Bye, Dad.
00:32:04.959 --> 00:32:06.583
I’m going with Mariana!
00:32:07.083 --> 00:32:09.917
I would like to become independent.
00:32:11.041 --> 00:32:12.875
I want to get a job,
00:32:13.125 --> 00:32:14.542
graduate,
00:32:14.542 --> 00:32:15.959
study…
00:32:15.959 --> 00:32:19.208
and my place, here, my bed,
00:32:19.542 --> 00:32:23.000
I want to give it to
a little girl or a little boy
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.667
that Mommy can help,
00:32:25.250 --> 00:32:27.542
because she already helped me.
00:32:36.208 --> 00:32:37.750
My life is God,
00:32:37.750 --> 00:32:39.542
and my center is God.
00:32:39.542 --> 00:32:41.542
So I always have my eyes on that.
00:32:42.625 --> 00:32:44.417
When I was little,
00:32:44.417 --> 00:32:46.667
there were always
groups in my home,
00:32:47.250 --> 00:32:49.959
of foreigners,
U.S. missionaries,
00:32:50.208 --> 00:32:52.458
that caught my interest,
and I said,
00:32:52.458 --> 00:32:54.917
I want to learn English
to help with that someday.
00:33:01.250 --> 00:33:02.667
Wait.
00:33:03.542 --> 00:33:05.000
This bowl goes over there.
00:33:12.166 --> 00:33:15.667
My name is Idania, I’m 33.
00:33:16.125 --> 00:33:17.792
I have two children
00:33:17.792 --> 00:33:20.667
I’m from the first generation
that my mom adopted.
00:33:20.667 --> 00:33:22.750
When I got here,
00:33:22.750 --> 00:33:24.750
there were…
00:33:25.750 --> 00:33:27.834
…12 of us at the time.
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.834
I was terrible.
00:33:29.834 --> 00:33:31.834
I was always a girl without limits.
00:33:32.125 --> 00:33:34.333
So no one loved me.
00:33:34.667 --> 00:33:37.959
I think that
my mom's love made it so that...
00:33:38.166 --> 00:33:39.834
my life wouldn’t be wasted.
00:33:39.834 --> 00:33:41.708
She fought with me a lot.
00:33:41.708 --> 00:33:44.417
If she said it was white,
I’d say it was black,
00:33:44.417 --> 00:33:47.083
but she was so patient
with me anyway.
00:33:48.375 --> 00:33:51.000
She saved me from the abyss,
as they say.
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.041
And now when I have time,
I give her a hand here.
00:34:00.875 --> 00:34:02.708
In the span of almost 40 years
00:34:02.708 --> 00:34:04.500
they’ve arrived to me in many ways:
00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:07.542
newborns, some a little older
00:34:08.291 --> 00:34:11.959
and also many groups of siblings,
with trouble being adopted
00:34:11.959 --> 00:34:15.250
because nobody is going to want
five little children, right?
00:34:15.250 --> 00:34:18.041
People look to adopt
young children.
00:34:18.041 --> 00:34:20.917
I recognize that it has
many advantages,
00:34:20.917 --> 00:34:23.208
one can raise them
in one’s own way,
00:34:23.208 --> 00:34:25.625
even if they bring a lot
of emotional damage,
00:34:25.625 --> 00:34:28.875
they are more resilient, easier
than an older child.
00:34:29.208 --> 00:34:30.834
Nayelis isn’t found.
00:34:30.834 --> 00:34:32.834
One point for Nayelis!
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.542
- I’ve had children who ask me,
- "Adoptability Declaration"
00:34:44.542 --> 00:34:47.542
“Mom, why was I brought into
this world, it makes no sense,”
00:34:47.542 --> 00:34:51.458
“I don’t know why my parents had me
if I shouldn’t be here.”
00:34:53.166 --> 00:34:57.125
“They had me, then didn’t want me,
and then they abused me.”
00:35:00.750 --> 00:35:05.458
Luisito was left in a cardboard box
outside our house.
00:35:08.041 --> 00:35:10.250
The box had a very bad smell,
00:35:10.250 --> 00:35:13.250
we thought there might be
a dead animal or something.
00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:14.959
And no, it was him,
00:35:14.959 --> 00:35:17.875
he just had
such a bad ear infection,
00:35:17.875 --> 00:35:21.625
that it had spread
and gave off a foul smell.
00:35:23.667 --> 00:35:25.667
The doctor once said:
00:35:25.667 --> 00:35:28.458
“This child won’t even manage
to provide company.”
00:35:28.458 --> 00:35:31.458
But despite his limitations,
00:35:31.458 --> 00:35:33.750
he’s obedient, respectful,
00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:36.000
and he knows he’s loved,
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.375
and this has made his life easier,
00:35:38.375 --> 00:35:41.917
even though he has autism
and an intellectual disability.
00:35:47.959 --> 00:35:49.959
He didn’t come to say hello
or anything.
00:35:52.208 --> 00:35:53.041
Crazy.
00:35:53.875 --> 00:35:55.041
Come on.
00:35:55.250 --> 00:35:58.583
- What do you do?
- Are these old guys bothering you?
00:35:58.583 --> 00:35:59.625
No, we’re playing.
00:35:59.625 --> 00:36:00.542
He’s lying, Mommy.
00:36:00.542 --> 00:36:02.458
Oh honey!
Why are you sitting in a box?
00:36:02.458 --> 00:36:04.291
Look at him! He’s about to lie.
00:36:04.291 --> 00:36:05.625
- Give it me, give it me.
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.667
He’s a liar, huh?
00:36:08.875 --> 00:36:10.333
The hooks aren’t for playing.
00:36:10.333 --> 00:36:12.458
Leave me alone… See, Mommy?
00:36:21.542 --> 00:36:24.625
Did you see it?
Come here, come here…
00:36:24.625 --> 00:36:27.083
Come here to ask you something…
00:36:30.166 --> 00:36:32.875
Now, you can’t escape from me...
00:37:04.834 --> 00:37:07.834
German, we have to open
the laundry room!
00:37:16.667 --> 00:37:21.208
Everyone says that these children
who are orphans, abandoned…
00:37:21.208 --> 00:37:22.625
that they’re bad kids,
00:37:22.625 --> 00:37:25.291
they carry so much damage
in their hearts,
00:37:25.291 --> 00:37:27.333
that they’ll always behave badly.
00:37:27.333 --> 00:37:29.333
But it’s not true.
00:37:32.625 --> 00:37:35.208
If those children continue
to be treated rudely,
00:37:35.208 --> 00:37:37.333
doing evil to them,
00:37:37.333 --> 00:37:40.000
yes, we’re going to make
a monster out of them, right?
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:43.250
But if you give them
love and affection,
00:37:43.250 --> 00:37:45.542
and discipline as well…
00:37:45.542 --> 00:37:47.208
... it's part of love, right?
00:37:47.208 --> 00:37:50.125
To be able to bring them up
the best you can?
00:37:50.125 --> 00:37:52.208
They’re going to be good people.
00:38:04.291 --> 00:38:09.000
We’ve had one or two cases here
that we haven’t been able to help.
00:38:09.166 --> 00:38:13.875
Because…their level of aggression
was so high…
00:38:14.125 --> 00:38:16.458
that it was dangerous.
00:38:16.583 --> 00:38:20.291
Dangerous to the other children,
and to themselves.
00:38:20.667 --> 00:38:23.834
And because of
the structure of our family,
00:38:23.917 --> 00:38:27.625
where we have around 30 or 40 kids…
00:38:27.625 --> 00:38:30.041
We didn’t have the resources
and tools
00:38:30.041 --> 00:38:32.166
to provide such
personalized attention,
00:38:32.583 --> 00:38:34.834
so we couldn’t help them.
00:38:43.417 --> 00:38:46.208
Run! Victor! Go with Victor!
00:38:46.208 --> 00:38:47.625
Come on!
00:39:21.458 --> 00:39:23.333
What are you gonna do?
00:39:24.291 --> 00:39:25.834
Hard, huh?
00:39:35.125 --> 00:39:37.708
Give me it, “Fufi”!
00:39:49.625 --> 00:39:51.458
If you leave it there, it’ll burn.
00:40:00.166 --> 00:40:01.667
Here I go…
00:40:02.750 --> 00:40:04.917
They’re going out,
they’re going out.
00:40:12.542 --> 00:40:14.458
I burned my finger…
00:40:24.166 --> 00:40:25.667
Come here!
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.583
One, two, three…
00:40:31.208 --> 00:40:34.959
Happy birthday to you,
00:40:36.333 --> 00:40:40.125
Happy birthday to you,
00:40:41.333 --> 00:40:44.917
Happy birthday, dear Noilyn
00:40:46.667 --> 00:40:50.291
Happy birthday to you.
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.166
- Now you’re old!
- Make a wish, make a wish!
00:40:55.583 --> 00:40:57.792
- Happy Birthday!
- Not that boy, no!
00:40:57.792 --> 00:41:00.458
- The boy, no, OK?
- Well, yes, but in the future…
00:41:00.458 --> 00:41:02.333
Go, it’s melting, OK?
00:41:02.333 --> 00:41:04.333
Another boy, but not that one.
00:41:05.625 --> 00:41:08.291
Bite it! Bite it!
00:41:17.417 --> 00:41:18.792
Thanks, Uncle!
00:41:18.792 --> 00:41:20.750
A little girl once told me,
00:41:20.750 --> 00:41:23.458
“Mom, if I could change
something in life”
00:41:23.458 --> 00:41:25.959
“It would be to be born
from your belly.”
00:41:25.959 --> 00:41:28.291
But I told her, "And why that?"
00:41:28.834 --> 00:41:30.041
“It is not necessary,”
00:41:30.041 --> 00:41:32.834
“Many children born
from a belly are unloved,”
00:41:33.208 --> 00:41:36.291
“But you were born
from a little bit higher.”
00:41:36.583 --> 00:41:38.208
"You were born from the heart.”
00:41:38.208 --> 00:41:40.500
She hugged me and said,
“Mommy, you’re right,”
00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:43.125
I’ll always say that
I was born from Mommy’s heart.”
00:41:43.875 --> 00:41:45.208
- Who's missing?
- Me.
00:41:45.208 --> 00:41:46.333
Did you eat?
00:41:46.333 --> 00:41:47.875
Don’t you see her mouth?
00:41:47.875 --> 00:41:49.875
No, leave that there.
00:41:49.875 --> 00:41:51.625
Johana, leave that there…
00:41:51.625 --> 00:41:55.041
It’s a miracle, because the cake
was tiny and it fed…
00:41:55.041 --> 00:41:57.458
- Thirty.
- More like thirty plus.
00:41:57.875 --> 00:42:01.625
“Better is a dry morsel
with quiet…”
00:42:02.291 --> 00:42:05.959
“…than a house full of feasting…”
00:42:06.417 --> 00:42:09.667
“with strife.”
00:42:10.166 --> 00:42:11.500
Shut up Mario!
00:42:11.792 --> 00:42:12.750
So…
00:42:13.917 --> 00:42:16.500
Better is a dry morsel…
00:42:16.875 --> 00:42:18.667
Better is a dry morsel…
00:42:20.166 --> 00:42:22.333
…in peace.
00:42:23.166 --> 00:42:24.375
- Of…
- Of…
00:42:25.875 --> 00:42:27.583
Oh, I forgot that part.
00:42:28.959 --> 00:42:30.917
Well, what does it say to you?
00:42:30.917 --> 00:42:34.750
That for God, we’re a dry morsel.
00:42:35.250 --> 00:42:36.875
What’s dry morsel?
00:42:36.875 --> 00:42:39.375
- And in peace.
- What’s a morsel?
00:42:39.375 --> 00:42:41.000
What’s a morsel, Dilan?
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:44.291
A morsel, is like a bite.
00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:45.708
A bite.
00:42:46.083 --> 00:42:47.667
Like food!
00:42:47.667 --> 00:42:49.250
You’re a fool, right?
00:42:49.708 --> 00:42:51.750
We’re a bite of God.
00:42:51.917 --> 00:42:54.208
I mean, I’m a cookie.
00:42:55.125 --> 00:42:57.125
Let’s pray, shut up, let’s pray!
00:42:58.708 --> 00:43:00.625
Lord Heavenly Father, Lord.
00:43:00.625 --> 00:43:03.000
We ask you about
what we learned today, Lord,
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:06.291
because your word says
that we're like a dry bite, Lord.
00:43:06.291 --> 00:43:10.250
Help us to change that, Lord,
all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
00:43:10.250 --> 00:43:11.667
War ...
00:43:11.667 --> 00:43:12.834
Well, we're done.
00:43:12.834 --> 00:43:14.041
[Indistinct]
00:43:14.875 --> 00:43:17.041
Lie down correctly…
00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:22.542
No, now we’re going to
talk about the…
00:43:22.542 --> 00:43:23.750
Ouch!
00:43:28.333 --> 00:43:29.333
William!
00:43:31.667 --> 00:43:32.834
What’s your problem?
00:43:32.834 --> 00:43:35.125
The Bible, the Bible!
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.000
When I realized I was pregnant,
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:57.250
I felt my world turn upside down.
00:43:57.250 --> 00:43:58.750
That I’d lost everything.
00:43:58.750 --> 00:44:00.792
The only thing I could think was…
00:44:01.333 --> 00:44:03.125
how could I disappear, or…
00:44:03.125 --> 00:44:06.750
or how to relieve myself
of what I had
00:44:07.333 --> 00:44:09.125
Because I…
00:44:09.125 --> 00:44:11.625
the first thing I thought was…
00:44:11.625 --> 00:44:13.583
What am I going to tell Mom?
00:44:19.291 --> 00:44:20.917
I was very afraid
00:44:21.041 --> 00:44:23.750
to bring a child into the world,
not having a house,
00:44:23.750 --> 00:44:25.417
not having a job…
00:44:25.875 --> 00:44:29.959
The dad literally left me
and told me, “give the baby away”
00:44:29.959 --> 00:44:32.875
“I don’t want it, I don’t want
to know anything about you,”
00:44:32.875 --> 00:44:34.500
that’s a lie, it’s not mine.”
00:44:41.125 --> 00:44:46.000
My sister was six months pregnant,
she said, “Fran, it’s a blessing,”
00:44:46.750 --> 00:44:49.458
I felt like the worst person
in the world.
00:44:54.291 --> 00:44:57.041
Rock, paper, scissors,
one, two, three…
00:44:57.375 --> 00:44:59.875
Rock, paper, scissors,
one, two, three…
00:45:05.667 --> 00:45:07.417
Take her…
00:45:07.792 --> 00:45:09.583
You lost, you lost.
00:45:09.583 --> 00:45:11.083
- Oh, no!
- It's auntie's turn.
00:45:11.083 --> 00:45:12.083
No!
00:45:13.041 --> 00:45:15.917
Go get that poo-poo changed, yeah!
00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:19.083
No, go ahead!
00:45:19.083 --> 00:45:21.125
- She doesn’t want to!
- Fine…
00:45:21.125 --> 00:45:22.375
She wants her mom.
00:45:22.375 --> 00:45:23.959
Alright, let’s go.
00:45:36.625 --> 00:45:39.333
- You have to squeeze it hard.
- Hard?
00:45:43.542 --> 00:45:46.500
- Look who’s best friends now.
- No, no, no.
00:45:47.375 --> 00:45:48.375
No!
00:45:50.500 --> 00:45:52.583
He is happy now because…
00:45:52.792 --> 00:45:56.125
I gave him a cookie.
Mom gave two of them to me.
00:45:57.250 --> 00:46:00.583
I don’t want that basin here
because you’ll break it.
00:46:00.583 --> 00:46:01.500
Who brought it?
00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:03.166
- I don’t know…
- Dilan.
00:46:03.166 --> 00:46:04.542
- Mom!
- Yes?
00:46:04.542 --> 00:46:06.125
[To the dog:] Get out, Luna!
00:46:06.125 --> 00:46:07.250
Another thing…
00:46:07.250 --> 00:46:09.250
- [To the dog:] Downstairs!
- Oh, darn!
00:46:10.041 --> 00:46:11.875
One more thing, just so you know.
00:46:12.041 --> 00:46:14.166
They’re going to be up early.
00:46:14.166 --> 00:46:16.208
- Yes.
- When I get up.
00:46:17.083 --> 00:46:19.166
- And these clothes?
- Come in, Mom.
00:46:20.542 --> 00:46:21.959
How awful.
00:46:26.291 --> 00:46:28.875
- Mom!
- Get this thing out, what is that?
00:46:36.083 --> 00:46:38.041
How did they pull that out?
00:46:39.250 --> 00:46:40.875
What a disaster!
00:46:41.458 --> 00:46:43.500
Now, you’re going to
clean up this room,
00:46:43.500 --> 00:46:45.625
no leaving
or sleeping until it’s done.
00:46:48.417 --> 00:46:49.583
Mommy!
00:47:01.208 --> 00:47:04.917
I hit the wall,
and they noticed and scolded us.
00:47:05.375 --> 00:47:08.875
I mean, but it was your fault,
you’re the one who broke the wall.
00:47:08.875 --> 00:47:10.625
But who made me?
00:47:10.625 --> 00:47:13.000
- Nobody.
- Nobody? You.
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.208
We’re both to blame.
00:47:17.333 --> 00:47:18.750
[Indistinct]
00:47:21.166 --> 00:47:22.458
How are you?
00:47:25.917 --> 00:47:28.583
It hurts me
to ground you two today,
00:47:28.583 --> 00:47:30.333
but you have to learn,
00:47:30.333 --> 00:47:32.875
everything in life
has consequences,
00:47:32.875 --> 00:47:34.625
good and bad, right?
00:47:34.625 --> 00:47:39.083
You were careless
in breaking the wall like that.
00:47:40.250 --> 00:47:43.291
Do you like how the bedroom looks
all destroyed?
00:47:43.291 --> 00:47:44.834
- You like it like that?
- No.
00:47:44.834 --> 00:47:47.250
Then why did you do it?
Just for fun?
00:47:48.041 --> 00:47:50.375
Well, I’m sorry,
but you have to stay here.
00:47:50.375 --> 00:47:53.166
While everyone is having fun,
you two will help Victor.
00:47:53.166 --> 00:47:55.000
But will we go on another trip?
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.500
Maybe not because
it’s very expensive to pay for.
00:47:59.417 --> 00:48:00.625
Go on.
00:48:00.625 --> 00:48:02.834
I told you
we’re not going on another…
00:48:06.250 --> 00:48:08.166
For my fellow firefighters and I,
00:48:08.166 --> 00:48:11.041
it’s a pleasure and a blessing
to have you here today,
00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:32.041
[Indistinct]
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:35.500
And where did
all these people come from?
00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:37.750
I think from
the Honda or the Hyundai.
00:48:37.750 --> 00:48:40.250
And there are no children here,
only three…
00:48:40.250 --> 00:48:42.000
and the others are–
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:43.542
And six teenagers.
00:48:43.542 --> 00:48:46.458
...at a party because there was
a scheduling mistake.
00:48:46.959 --> 00:48:49.458
Here, here … here to dance …
00:48:52.834 --> 00:48:54.291
Sometimes this happens,
00:48:54.291 --> 00:48:56.959
especially when my mom is
in charge of the schedule.
00:48:57.625 --> 00:48:58.625
Because...
00:48:59.458 --> 00:49:02.875
instead of having a simple agenda,
00:49:02.875 --> 00:49:05.917
my mom messes it up
00:49:05.917 --> 00:49:08.792
and assigns two people
for the same time.
00:49:08.792 --> 00:49:10.917
Is it more fun
there with the firefighters
00:49:10.917 --> 00:49:13.166
than here with piñatas,
playing and dancing?
00:49:13.667 --> 00:49:16.083
I wonder,
because I’m the organizer,
00:49:16.083 --> 00:49:19.208
here with 40 kids, and I want
the funnest thing for them.
00:49:32.500 --> 00:49:35.500
Thank you so much
and it’s a pleasure to be here.
00:49:35.500 --> 00:49:37.458
Mrs. Melba, as we said before,
00:49:37.458 --> 00:49:38.959
you’re the hero here.
00:49:38.959 --> 00:49:40.917
So a big round of applause for her.
00:49:40.917 --> 00:49:42.291
Thank you so much.
00:49:43.166 --> 00:49:46.000
- Thank you so much.
- They made this.
00:49:46.166 --> 00:49:48.458
“Thank you so much
for such a special day”
00:49:48.458 --> 00:49:50.708
Those are the their hands,
00:49:51.208 --> 00:49:53.708
to say thank you.
00:49:54.417 --> 00:49:56.834
We really don’t have words
to thank you.
00:49:56.875 --> 00:49:59.291
God bless you, thank you very much.
00:49:59.542 --> 00:50:02.208
The coming rain
is the end to this situation,
00:50:02.208 --> 00:50:03.708
even if we don’t want to,
00:50:03.708 --> 00:50:05.708
with rain
there’s nothing we can do.
00:50:05.708 --> 00:50:08.041
Let’s take everything in,
it’s going to rain!
00:50:08.708 --> 00:50:10.625
Let’s bring everything, too…
yes, yes.
00:50:12.583 --> 00:50:14.917
Hey, friend!
Put this in your car please.
00:50:55.291 --> 00:50:58.041
Yes, we’re going to take the car,
but we have to wait…
00:51:18.250 --> 00:51:22.583
Here is a schedule for the morning
and a schedule for the afternoon.
00:51:22.583 --> 00:51:25.291
The schedule lists different chores
for them to do.
00:51:26.250 --> 00:51:28.083
This schedule takes into account
00:51:28.250 --> 00:51:31.000
the entrance and exit from schools
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:32.500
and universities,
00:51:32.500 --> 00:51:34.333
in such a way that they can
00:51:34.333 --> 00:51:37.625
equitably rotate chores
00:51:38.083 --> 00:51:39.458
during the week...
00:51:39.667 --> 00:51:43.875
But the youngest ones
are not included in the schedule...
00:51:43.875 --> 00:51:46.041
- And what do they do?
- The little ones?
00:51:46.041 --> 00:51:48.083
They play… yes.
00:51:48.708 --> 00:51:52.125
They play and make a mess
so the others can clean up.
00:51:52.333 --> 00:51:54.208
Basically that's what they do.
00:51:54.208 --> 00:51:56.125
Cinderellas! Maids!
00:51:57.500 --> 00:52:00.375
- They’re not here.
- That one is never here.
00:52:01.041 --> 00:52:02.542
- Please…
- Hurry up!
00:52:02.792 --> 00:52:05.583
- These maids are good for nothing.
- We’re roasting!
00:52:06.250 --> 00:52:08.417
I want to go in the pool.
00:52:09.291 --> 00:52:12.208
When will you do my manicure,
I’ve been waiting an hour.
00:52:12.750 --> 00:52:16.208
- What about my bathing suit?
- And what about the limousine?
00:52:16.500 --> 00:52:19.208
[TV:] I didn’t mean
I don’t want to see you ever again!
00:52:19.208 --> 00:52:22.458
She is a very liberal woman,
but saying she hooked up with Leo?
00:52:22.667 --> 00:52:25.291
I’mm telling you
that I saw them with my own eyes.
00:52:26.041 --> 00:52:27.041
Leo…
00:52:30.166 --> 00:52:34.583
- Change the channel, please.
- Oh no, but I want to see the end.
00:52:35.750 --> 00:52:37.083
What’s wrong with you!
00:52:37.291 --> 00:52:39.875
- You see, nothing is shown...
- What a shame!
00:52:41.375 --> 00:52:43.291
[Indistinct yelling]
00:52:49.041 --> 00:52:51.041
I’m not going to use that yet.
00:52:51.625 --> 00:52:53.917
Hold on,
I’m going to attach the train.
00:53:02.417 --> 00:53:05.834
When you walk, you have to
grab it from both sides,
00:53:05.834 --> 00:53:08.667
because if it gets tangled,
you can fall.
00:53:08.667 --> 00:53:10.166
There you go.
00:53:10.500 --> 00:53:13.458
And someone can help you out
there with the…
00:53:13.458 --> 00:53:15.333
with the train,
00:53:15.625 --> 00:53:16.875
right?
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:20.792
My whole life has changed
in three months.
00:53:20.959 --> 00:53:24.291
Now I have a job,
I’m going to get married…
00:53:25.375 --> 00:53:27.875
I really never thought
I was leaving the house.
00:53:27.875 --> 00:53:30.333
I saw myself stagnating there.
00:53:30.542 --> 00:53:33.083
I didn’t know what to do
with my life.
00:53:33.083 --> 00:53:35.667
I’m already in my twenties,
00:53:36.291 --> 00:53:38.417
I need to be independent…
00:53:38.417 --> 00:53:40.458
Don’t get tangled and fall.
00:53:41.041 --> 00:53:42.500
I was so anxious,
00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:44.333
not knowing what to do
with my life,
00:53:44.333 --> 00:53:47.166
but everything suddenly changed.
00:53:51.250 --> 00:53:53.458
If you want to use
that other dress, you can.
00:53:53.458 --> 00:53:56.458
This is a simple lace cloth,
one of the cheapest ones, honey.
00:53:56.458 --> 00:54:00.041
- Mom, I want to use this one
- Yes, yes, it's OK, you can...
00:54:04.417 --> 00:54:07.208
Well, that would be all…
00:54:07.208 --> 00:54:09.208
Yes it fits her very well…
00:54:10.834 --> 00:54:13.458
Look, you can see
her hips and butt.
00:54:13.458 --> 00:54:15.208
Yes, it fits very well.
00:54:16.083 --> 00:54:17.500
Natasha…
00:54:18.083 --> 00:54:20.208
Did you switch for the third floor?
00:54:21.667 --> 00:54:24.333
Who did you ask for permission
to make those changes?
00:54:25.166 --> 00:54:26.333
No one?
00:54:26.583 --> 00:54:28.250
You can’t do that.
00:54:28.417 --> 00:54:31.834
Now you’ll have to do it perfectly,
since you changed it.
00:54:32.250 --> 00:54:35.125
Let’s see, the schedule says one of
them had the backyard,
00:54:35.125 --> 00:54:36.625
and he’s not here.
00:54:36.834 --> 00:54:39.500
- Don't you want cut fruit?
- I already ate.
00:54:39.500 --> 00:54:42.041
That boy didn’t do
what he was supposed to do here
00:54:42.041 --> 00:54:43.917
Why isn’t the patio done?
Just great!
00:54:43.917 --> 00:54:46.166
Mom, ask the girls
who gave them permission
00:54:46.166 --> 00:54:48.750
'cause now they're gonna say
I asked for them.
00:54:48.750 --> 00:54:51.417
- It was Johnny who told everyone.
- It wasn't Johnny.
00:54:51.417 --> 00:54:53.375
- Johnny told everyone!
- Look, Johnny!
00:54:53.375 --> 00:54:54.417
Listen to him!
00:54:54.417 --> 00:54:57.000
I can attest that he didn’t
ask permission for the girls.
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.417
- Aha!
- You’re going to do that chore,
00:54:59.417 --> 00:55:01.500
and you, during the week
00:55:01.500 --> 00:55:03.291
- But why me?
- you’re not gonna play ball.
00:55:03.291 --> 00:55:07.500
Mom! I didn’t even…
I told Johnny that!
00:55:07.500 --> 00:55:09.500
Come here, all of you!
00:55:10.333 --> 00:55:13.875
Ask the girls,
call them and ask them.
00:55:13.875 --> 00:55:14.708
Johnny
00:55:14.708 --> 00:55:16.875
- Who asked for permission?
- No it wasn’t Johnny…
00:55:16.875 --> 00:55:18.792
What did you have to do today?
00:55:18.792 --> 00:55:20.208
I had to clean the floor.
00:55:20.208 --> 00:55:21.875
Who gave you permission
to go out?
00:55:21.875 --> 00:55:22.792
Steven told me.
00:55:23.125 --> 00:55:24.291
Look, see?
00:55:24.291 --> 00:55:25.959
- See, Mom!
- But Steven told us…
00:55:25.959 --> 00:55:28.583
You’re grounded, too..
I’ll tell you your punishment.
00:55:28.583 --> 00:55:31.041
- Everyone has to ask for
their own permission.
00:55:31.041 --> 00:55:32.542
Mom, wait, whose idea was it?
00:55:32.542 --> 00:55:34.959
Angie said, “German,
teach me how to play ball?”
00:55:34.959 --> 00:55:37.000
- "Yeah let's go"
- Mom wait, wait.
00:55:38.959 --> 00:55:41.083
I wasn’t even going
with them because they said,
00:55:41.083 --> 00:55:43.375
“Those of us who played
on the trip are going”.
00:55:43.375 --> 00:55:45.750
- Mom, listen!
- Also, you’re not going anywhere
00:55:45.750 --> 00:55:47.750
where you have to cross
dangerous streets.
00:55:47.750 --> 00:55:49.875
If you don't play near here
you won't go anywhere.
00:55:49.875 --> 00:55:53.417
We just have to turn the corner,
we don’t have to cross any streets!
00:55:53.417 --> 00:55:55.375
I thought you were going
to the gardens.
00:55:56.834 --> 00:56:01.208
Mom, once you gave all of them
permission to go…
00:56:01.417 --> 00:56:04.708
You told me, Keisy called me…
00:56:04.708 --> 00:56:06.834
Enough, no one asked permission,
everyone is punished.
00:56:06.834 --> 00:56:08.708
One at a time,
I’ll tell you your punishments.
00:56:08.708 --> 00:56:09.750
Thanks,
and it’s all Steven’s fault.
00:56:09.750 --> 00:56:11.458
Just great, instead of saying:
00:56:11.458 --> 00:56:12.959
“We’re going to our chores now
00:56:12.959 --> 00:56:15.375
to earn the opportunity to play
and go out.”
00:56:15.667 --> 00:56:17.500
You’re kidding me,
you are a lady,
00:56:17.500 --> 00:56:19.500
you’re lying that you’re
going to learn soccer.
00:56:19.500 --> 00:56:22.417
How can he teach you if
he doesn’t know how to play either?
00:56:22.417 --> 00:56:24.417
You just want to hang out
on the streets.
00:56:24.417 --> 00:56:27.291
- It’s just playing mom.
- Street, street is what you want.
00:56:29.333 --> 00:56:32.000
Take out those clothes
and hang them, this one please.
00:56:33.542 --> 00:56:37.583
I’ve been told that sometimes
you stop doing your chores.
00:56:38.667 --> 00:56:41.875
Mom is now
quite an elderly woman.
00:56:43.125 --> 00:56:44.834
It’s not normal or fair
00:56:45.083 --> 00:56:48.500
that she’s in the laundry room
most of the day,
00:56:48.500 --> 00:56:51.667
and no one here goes to help her.
00:56:51.667 --> 00:56:55.625
I know she sometimes says that
you’re very little.
00:56:55.959 --> 00:56:59.166
But really,
please, you’re big kids.
00:56:59.166 --> 00:57:00.708
I've told you,
00:57:00.708 --> 00:57:03.000
there are three
very important things.
00:57:03.083 --> 00:57:07.125
One was completing
your personal responsibilities.
00:57:07.417 --> 00:57:10.959
Of your space,
your personal hygiene, etc.
00:57:10.959 --> 00:57:12.417
The second
00:57:12.625 --> 00:57:15.333
was completing
the responsibilities,
00:57:15.333 --> 00:57:17.875
which are assigned on the schedule.
00:57:17.875 --> 00:57:22.125
And the third and most important,
00:57:22.625 --> 00:57:25.917
was being able to give a little
00:57:26.458 --> 00:57:28.625
beyond the requirement.
00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:32.250
And start to let go
of the idea that…
00:57:32.542 --> 00:57:35.500
“that it’s not my job”, or worse,
00:57:35.500 --> 00:57:38.291
when you’re referring
to the schedule,
00:57:38.750 --> 00:57:41.625
and you don’t do it
because no one is watching you.
00:57:41.625 --> 00:57:44.667
We hope these meetings
00:57:44.875 --> 00:57:47.000
only have to happen once a year,
00:57:47.166 --> 00:57:49.166
not twice a month.
00:57:49.375 --> 00:57:52.458
So, I need you
to get a move on it.
00:58:07.500 --> 00:58:09.125
What other color do you need?
00:58:09.458 --> 00:58:11.125
None? Are you done?
00:58:11.500 --> 00:58:13.125
I need brown.
00:58:16.542 --> 00:58:18.667
I’ve thought about it a lot,
00:58:18.667 --> 00:58:20.875
what will happen if my mom dies?
00:58:21.333 --> 00:58:23.208
What will happen if my dad dies?
00:58:23.291 --> 00:58:25.333
But really in my heart, basically…
00:58:25.333 --> 00:58:27.708
I don’t see any problem
00:58:27.708 --> 00:58:31.500
continuing and taking over
with my wife.
00:58:31.792 --> 00:58:35.333
I don’t know if it would be
strictly like my mom does it now.
00:58:37.166 --> 00:58:38.500
In my mom’s mind,
00:58:38.500 --> 00:58:42.625
if the day after tomorrow,
she sees four kids she can help,
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:45.333
she doesn't really plan
00:58:45.458 --> 00:58:47.583
if there are beds or not,
00:58:47.708 --> 00:58:51.375
if there will be food or not,
00:58:51.792 --> 00:58:54.083
she doesn’t plan anything,
she just says,
00:58:54.291 --> 00:58:55.834
“Yes, bring them here.”
00:58:56.750 --> 00:58:57.959
I drew…
00:58:57.959 --> 00:59:00.125
my house and my family.
00:59:00.125 --> 00:59:04.166
I drew my family of clouds.
00:59:08.667 --> 00:59:12.000
I drew my family
00:59:12.083 --> 00:59:14.250
on a trip where there's a heart.
00:59:34.834 --> 00:59:36.166
Will you come with me?
00:59:37.208 --> 00:59:40.125
I think it has already
been enough,
00:59:40.125 --> 00:59:41.625
because it’s been more than
00:59:41.625 --> 00:59:44.875
130 children who have lived here.
00:59:45.667 --> 00:59:48.083
But Melba is going to keep going
until the end…
00:59:48.083 --> 00:59:52.208
Because the older children and I
have advised her, but no…
00:59:52.208 --> 00:59:54.500
She made a pact with God
00:59:54.500 --> 00:59:56.834
and as long as
He keeps giving her strength…
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.625
We don’t know
how many more will come.
01:00:01.166 --> 01:00:03.166
Well, that also maintains us.
01:00:12.083 --> 01:00:13.959
Let’s see your feet...
01:00:14.125 --> 01:00:16.500
Ugh, I can’t stand bad smells.
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:20.667
No. Or is it yours?
01:00:20.792 --> 01:00:22.000
No, it’s not me.
01:00:24.458 --> 01:00:25.625
It's her.
01:00:26.500 --> 01:00:27.959
Marisol has the bad habit
01:00:27.959 --> 01:00:30.375
of putting on those shoes
without socks.
01:00:30.750 --> 01:00:32.750
I don’t have those…
01:00:34.333 --> 01:00:36.208
Now I smell it…
01:00:36.834 --> 01:00:38.041
Smells like cheese.
01:00:40.417 --> 01:00:42.625
Mom, Maria gave me a little,
it was tasty…
01:00:42.625 --> 01:00:44.417
You changed, right?
01:00:46.417 --> 01:00:49.500
Let's see those little feet,
are they yours that smell honey?
01:00:49.500 --> 01:00:50.500
No.
01:00:53.291 --> 01:00:55.083
It’s him, smell him!
01:00:55.458 --> 01:00:56.917
You smell him.
01:00:57.291 --> 01:00:59.500
- Mom, me?
- Yes, you.
01:01:02.834 --> 01:01:03.917
Yes, it's him!
01:01:03.917 --> 01:01:08.083
But Mom,
you haven't given me any in 4 days.
01:01:08.750 --> 01:01:10.041
Those socks?
01:01:10.041 --> 01:01:13.208
- Why didn’t you put on
the socks that I gave you?
01:01:13.208 --> 01:01:15.000
I did too give you some socks!
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:16.959
Four days with the same socks!
01:01:16.959 --> 01:01:20.166
That’s not true.
I gave you two new pairs of socks.
01:01:20.708 --> 01:01:23.417
Two the first day…
Take off your socks…
01:01:23.417 --> 01:01:26.583
- Socks are used for one day only.
- You can’t sleep like this…
01:01:26.583 --> 01:01:27.959
Socks are for one day only.
01:01:27.959 --> 01:01:30.959
Go, because they stink,
I can’t stand bad smells.
01:01:30.959 --> 01:01:32.959
There’s talcum powder in the room.
01:01:33.542 --> 01:01:36.500
No, you have to help him
or he’ll use all of it…
01:01:38.250 --> 01:01:41.542
And tomorrow and every day
you have to change those socks,
01:01:41.542 --> 01:01:43.291
because if not…
01:01:43.708 --> 01:01:44.708
Yes, Mom
01:01:44.708 --> 01:01:46.792
I almost can’t stand it anymore.
01:01:46.792 --> 01:01:48.792
Go change your socks, hun.
01:01:49.417 --> 01:01:51.291
I already took them off.
01:01:52.417 --> 01:01:54.250
No, don’t leave them there, God.
01:01:54.792 --> 01:01:56.250
Get them out!
01:01:56.417 --> 01:01:57.875
OK. I’ll leave them there.
01:01:57.875 --> 01:01:59.458
- Smell them.
- Don’t be gross.
01:02:01.792 --> 01:02:04.250
Ugh, the whole room stinks now.
01:02:37.917 --> 01:02:39.750
I’ve always wanted
to be a missionary
01:02:39.750 --> 01:02:43.917
and I’m so excited to do this
with the person I love the most.
01:02:44.291 --> 01:02:47.959
And I’m also excited about
him wanting to do this with me.
01:02:48.583 --> 01:02:52.667
So…The fact that he wants
what I want,
01:02:52.667 --> 01:02:56.792
That we both want
the same thing in this area,
01:02:56.792 --> 01:02:58.125
I’m excited about that.
01:02:58.792 --> 01:03:00.542
Come on love, bring more paint.
01:03:00.542 --> 01:03:02.583
- No, you have some.
- It’’ll be wasted.
01:03:15.708 --> 01:03:18.375
I want to invite you
to close your eyes,
01:03:19.208 --> 01:03:21.250
and raise your hands.
01:03:21.250 --> 01:03:22.875
You are the only God.
01:03:24.500 --> 01:03:26.375
We thank you for this day,
01:03:26.625 --> 01:03:30.417
your love, your church,
your love and for us.
01:03:31.375 --> 01:03:32.583
Yes Lord.
01:03:32.583 --> 01:03:34.333
An applause for the Lord.
01:03:38.542 --> 01:03:41.625
Now join me in singing this song,
which I’m sure you all know…
01:03:41.834 --> 01:03:43.125
I’m so nervous, really…
01:03:44.458 --> 01:03:46.917
I feel like
I’m going to pee, or vomit…
01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:49.208
Or cry… I'm not going to pass...
01:03:49.208 --> 01:03:52.083
- Yes you are
- I’m not going to graduate.
01:03:57.500 --> 01:04:00.959
At first, I looked for
a family to adopt her
01:04:00.959 --> 01:04:03.208
because I didn’t want to be a mom.
01:04:05.166 --> 01:04:06.166
But…
01:04:06.583 --> 01:04:09.333
when I went to the psychologist,
she said:
01:04:09.917 --> 01:04:11.542
“Do you want
01:04:12.125 --> 01:04:14.959
your daughter to go through
what you went through?”
01:04:15.417 --> 01:04:18.875
And that was like being shot
with an arrow in the chest.
01:04:20.667 --> 01:04:23.792
And I didn’t answer,
I started crying.
01:04:24.750 --> 01:04:26.375
and inside, I said,
01:04:26.375 --> 01:04:28.500
“I’m giving her the life I had.”
01:04:38.083 --> 01:04:42.875
I’m conscious that
it wasn’t the best time in my life.
01:04:42.875 --> 01:04:45.834
Mom wanted me to study,
to get ahead,
01:04:46.166 --> 01:04:47.792
but Elena isn’t a mistake.
01:04:48.166 --> 01:04:51.625
I’ve gotten ahead with her anyway,
it’s just a bit harder now,
01:04:51.917 --> 01:04:53.875
but it’s not impossible.
01:04:54.458 --> 01:04:57.000
The rest are good…
01:04:57.417 --> 01:04:59.583
Well, you've officially graduated.
01:05:00.250 --> 01:05:00.875
No!
01:05:01.917 --> 01:05:04.417
- Congratulations.
- Oh. Teacher! Thank you!
01:05:05.166 --> 01:05:06.417
Fran!
01:05:07.667 --> 01:05:09.708
Finally, finally…
01:05:11.166 --> 01:05:13.333
I told you you could do it.
01:05:13.875 --> 01:05:15.375
Everything for Elena.
01:05:18.208 --> 01:05:21.333
We did it. Well, you did,
but we were together.
01:05:22.917 --> 01:05:26.125
I got my high school diploma, Dad.
I wanted you to know,
01:05:26.125 --> 01:05:28.000
that I didn’t finish it in my 50s.
01:05:30.166 --> 01:05:32.792
- No, huh?
- No, I didn’t get there.
01:05:35.625 --> 01:05:36.792
Hello?
01:05:36.792 --> 01:05:39.041
- Congratulations.
- Thanks, Dad.
01:05:53.917 --> 01:05:55.500
What are you looking at?
01:06:05.834 --> 01:06:07.500
You do something to me,
I’ll tell mommy.
01:06:07.500 --> 01:06:10.000
- You pulled my hair.
- Who goes here?
01:06:11.792 --> 01:06:13.667
Yes but see he’s alone, and there?
01:06:14.667 --> 01:06:15.667
Don’t hide.
01:06:17.083 --> 01:06:19.500
Mom, if not I’m going to throw up…
01:06:19.875 --> 01:06:23.166
Okay, you can, but you guys aren’t
going to stick your heads out,
01:06:23.166 --> 01:06:26.041
but not this little one.
Can someone sit with him?
01:06:28.291 --> 01:06:30.250
You all have to take care of…
01:06:32.792 --> 01:06:36.166
On the way to the farm,
I ran into a bull,
01:06:36.500 --> 01:06:40.291
since he had no name,
I’ll call him Uncle Coco!
01:06:40.834 --> 01:06:44.208
Oh, Uncle Coco, the bull is you!
01:06:45.041 --> 01:06:48.291
We pull you by the tail,
and you say another name!
01:06:48.583 --> 01:06:49.458
Erika!
01:06:49.625 --> 01:06:53.291
On the way to the farm,
I ran into a cow,
01:06:54.125 --> 01:06:55.625
since she had no name…
01:07:33.708 --> 01:07:37.125
Black! Black! Take this, Black!
01:08:24.875 --> 01:08:29.333
I think I'll keep contributing
until God says it's enough.
01:08:32.125 --> 01:08:36.041
I already know we have
an empty room with three beds,
01:08:36.375 --> 01:08:39.208
and in each of the kids’ rooms,
there’s an empty bed,
01:08:39.375 --> 01:08:41.625
so that hurts me, too,
01:08:41.625 --> 01:08:44.000
knowing that
someone could be in them.
01:08:44.375 --> 01:08:47.000
I know there are a lot
and it’s hard,
01:08:47.417 --> 01:08:49.583
but this is better than nothing.
01:08:53.875 --> 01:08:57.291
I think if we put our minds to it,
we can help someone get ahead.
01:08:57.291 --> 01:09:00.291
Just one,
it doesn’t have to be 10 or 12.
01:09:00.291 --> 01:09:04.625
If everyone thought like that,
we could change the world,
01:09:04.625 --> 01:09:07.625
without even needing
a ton of money.
01:09:07.750 --> 01:09:09.792
Because, to help someone,
01:09:09.792 --> 01:09:11.667
you don’t need money.
01:09:11.667 --> 01:09:14.083
You need to have the will.
01:09:20.375 --> 01:09:22.208
