After numerous rejections, Julia and Antonio, Ema's parents, finally find a safe place for their daughter, who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. In the caring community of the new primary school located in a small town on the banks of the Paraná River, Ema can observe and explore the world in silence and at her own pace.
Based on the director's own family history, Betania Cappato's film astutely and tenderly chronicles Ema's small steps, which transform into magical moments, where solidarity appears in the least expected ways.
“A sincere, genuine story made straight from the heart.” – Diego Batlle, OTROSCINES.COM
“The improvisations, especially that of the children, make this story plausible and real; a film that transcends the screen.” – Lucía Martín Muñoz, ESCRIBIENDOCINE
“Told with minimal elements, the first fiction feature by Betania Cappato from Santa Fe knows how to mix fiction with documentary elements, which add to the feeling of authenticity.” – Horacio Bernades, PAGINA 12
“A School in Cerro Hueso manages to convey very well the experience of changing your life and arriving at an unknown and strange place that, unexpectedly, becomes your new home. Here, the protagonists not only manage to recover their somewhat lost hopes after so many school rejections, but they once again believe in each other, in their neighbors, in the idea of a group that helps each other to bring out the best in each other. The metaphor regarding the country is useful, but that does not stop it from being valuable and especially appropriate for these moments.” – Diego Lerer

To Lucio, dad and Juli.
00:03:13.083 --> 00:03:16.833
These animals represent
a certain period in history,
00:03:16.875 --> 00:03:19.500
and this just marveled him
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:22.583
along with the rich fauna
00:03:22.625 --> 00:03:25.125
and fossil remains he found
in the ravines of the Paraná River.
00:03:25.166 --> 00:03:29.666
This led him to begin his sketches on the changes
00:03:29.875 --> 00:03:32.708
in the adaptation processes of the species,
00:03:32.791 --> 00:03:36.250
known today as his "Theory of Evolution"
00:03:36.291 --> 00:03:39.041
and his book "The origin of species"...
00:03:39.708 --> 00:03:42.791
Do you know what is our origin
as human beings?
00:03:43.166 --> 00:03:45.416
- Let's hear it.
- From God.
00:03:45.541 --> 00:03:47.541
God created us?
00:03:47.583 --> 00:03:49.583
- And what else?
- And the ape.
00:03:49.583 --> 00:03:52.458
- How did humans come from the ape?
- Because of evolution.
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:58.208
The idea of evolution comes from Charles Darwin,
00:03:58.250 --> 00:03:59.500
he was a british naturalist...
00:04:00.083 --> 00:04:03.458
A group of scientists from
the Environmental Department
00:04:03.458 --> 00:04:07.333
are studying the causes
of this particular phenomenon.
00:04:07.333 --> 00:04:11.208
Pointing the high temperatures
and the sudden river rise
00:04:11.208 --> 00:04:15.083
as a possible cause for the reduction
in the oxygen levels of the water.
00:04:15.916 --> 00:04:20.416
Hundreds of dead fish appeared
in the bed of the Paraná River
00:04:20.416 --> 00:04:23.458
between Chaco and Santa Fe.
00:04:23.458 --> 00:04:27.750
This has aroused great concern among the locals.
00:05:08.875 --> 00:05:10.875
A SCHOOL IN CERRO HUESO
00:05:12.958 --> 00:05:15.125
- Hello, nice to meet you.
- These are Antonio and Julia.
00:05:15.208 --> 00:05:17.208
And their daughter Ema.
00:05:17.541 --> 00:05:19.541
Hi there.
00:05:20.708 --> 00:05:22.708
This is Sonia, the school's cook,
00:05:22.708 --> 00:05:24.708
they came to see the school,
00:05:24.875 --> 00:05:29.666
and I though you should meet her
00:05:29.708 --> 00:05:33.666
she's a dear person here,
she's been working here for many years...
00:05:34.166 --> 00:05:38.000
And her granddaughter
is the same age as Ema.
00:05:38.208 --> 00:05:41.250
So they will probably be in the same classroom.
00:05:43.291 --> 00:05:45.083
This is a small school
00:05:45.083 --> 00:05:46.875
and we all help each other out, right?
00:05:46.875 --> 00:05:49.291
True. We welcome you.
00:05:49.291 --> 00:05:52.125
- Thank you.
- Anything you need, just ask.
00:05:53.333 --> 00:05:56.958
Why did you choose this school?
00:05:57.333 --> 00:06:00.208
I mean since you live in the city...
00:06:01.916 --> 00:06:03.750
The truth is...
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.125
We didn't have a choice.
00:06:06.875 --> 00:06:09.750
We applied to 17 schools, and...
00:06:10.875 --> 00:06:13.125
Most of them didn't even reply...
00:06:14.125 --> 00:06:16.125
Others rejected us...
00:06:16.416 --> 00:06:18.583
This is the only school to accept us...
00:06:19.875 --> 00:06:21.291
I understand.
00:06:21.625 --> 00:06:24.000
We are truly pleased to have you.
00:06:24.666 --> 00:06:29.708
But you have to know that we
will probably need your help too.
00:06:30.041 --> 00:06:32.916
- Sure...
- Since it's a small school,
00:06:33.583 --> 00:06:35.583
there's only a few of us,
00:06:35.750 --> 00:06:37.750
each grade has only one teacher,
00:06:37.750 --> 00:06:39.541
but those aren't obstacles to us.
00:06:39.541 --> 00:06:42.708
We will figure it out as we go along.
00:06:43.250 --> 00:06:48.250
You can count on our full support
and open-mindedness.
00:06:51.958 --> 00:06:57.125
As you can imagine we know what it is
to ask for help and getting no answer.
00:06:57.416 --> 00:07:00.666
We are more than happy to welcome Ema.
00:07:01.375 --> 00:07:02.958
Thanks a lot.
00:07:25.083 --> 00:07:28.750
Southern location.
Subtropical climate. Warm and humid.
00:07:28.750 --> 00:07:32.291
Summer high temperatures going up to 45ºC.
00:07:32.791 --> 00:07:36.833
Flat surface.
Constant variation of river water levels.
00:07:37.208 --> 00:07:38.833
Flooding threats.
00:07:39.250 --> 00:07:46.083
The livelihoods of the region's population
are mainly fishing and construction.
00:07:46.875 --> 00:07:49.916
Most of the population settled
on the banks of the river
00:07:49.916 --> 00:07:54.208
and do not have access to drinking-water,
among other basic social services.
00:09:17.458 --> 00:09:19.791
Come, let's put your pants on.
00:09:27.791 --> 00:09:29.083
Let go.
00:09:49.875 --> 00:09:53.041
We put them on,
we don't take them off.
00:09:55.416 --> 00:09:57.416
Ema don't.
00:09:57.458 --> 00:09:59.875
We put the sneakers on...
00:10:00.916 --> 00:10:02.458
There we go.
00:10:05.833 --> 00:10:07.958
Come, let's put your apron on.
00:10:08.625 --> 00:10:09.541
That's it.
00:10:11.791 --> 00:10:14.041
One arm... Very good.
00:11:01.958 --> 00:11:04.291
Move over! Come on, move!
00:11:15.541 --> 00:11:18.291
And now you put it in warm water...
00:11:19.375 --> 00:11:21.166
Now put the cable in it...
00:11:24.125 --> 00:11:26.125
Here comes the milk!
00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:31.500
- Carefully...
- I want milk!
00:11:34.083 --> 00:11:35.541
Hello...
00:11:35.791 --> 00:11:37.791
- Hi...
- I want milk.
00:11:38.458 --> 00:11:40.458
Don't burn yourselves...
00:11:43.666 --> 00:11:46.125
- Very well...
- Mmm yummie...
00:11:46.125 --> 00:11:47.708
Blow your milk!
00:11:49.541 --> 00:11:51.541
An elephant...
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.625
I'll bring some more.
00:12:21.583 --> 00:12:23.583
Ema! Ema!
00:12:25.041 --> 00:12:26.541
Ema...
00:12:29.083 --> 00:12:30.708
Ema...
00:12:31.541 --> 00:12:33.000
Ema!
00:12:37.541 --> 00:12:40.583
Ema has the same eyes as the White Lady.
00:12:47.041 --> 00:12:49.333
Ema has the eyes of the White Lady.
00:12:55.708 --> 00:12:59.250
No, she's not like the White Lady.
00:12:59.791 --> 00:13:03.708
No, because she doesn't look like the White Lady.
00:13:03.833 --> 00:13:05.333
And so what?
00:13:05.333 --> 00:13:08.916
- Well she's not the White Lady.
- And so what?
00:13:09.750 --> 00:13:12.500
- She's not, and she's not pretending...
- Yes she is, she's the White Lady.
00:13:13.208 --> 00:13:16.791
- And why doesn't she speak?
- She has the face of the White Lady.
00:13:16.916 --> 00:13:20.500
- Well, because she can't speak.
- If she can't then she's the White Lady.
00:13:20.625 --> 00:13:23.500
The White Lady speaks and cries
and Ema can't.
00:13:23.541 --> 00:13:25.708
And you're La Llorona.
00:13:26.041 --> 00:13:28.375
- And you're also the White Lady.
- No, I'm not.
00:13:28.375 --> 00:13:30.791
- And you're La Llorona's sister.
- No, I'm not.
00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:33.333
- You're the sister of the White Lady.
- And what about you?
00:13:33.541 --> 00:13:35.708
You're the son of La Llorona.
00:13:35.875 --> 00:13:39.666
- And you're her mother!
- And you're the brother of La Llorona.
00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:55.333
This is Woody.
He'll be our classroom's teddy bear.
00:13:55.791 --> 00:13:59.541
And you will be able
to take him home with your family
00:13:59.541 --> 00:14:04.666
but to do that you will have to participate,
to be good classmates.
00:14:04.666 --> 00:14:09.333
So the day you work and behave your best,
you'll take him home.
00:14:10.041 --> 00:14:14.708
My name is Irene.
I live with my grandmother and brothers.
00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.500
And I live in Vía Muerta.
- Very well.
00:14:17.625 --> 00:14:19.791
My name is Horacio.
00:14:19.916 --> 00:14:24.750
I live with my mother,
my sister, and my dad.
00:14:24.916 --> 00:14:27.833
- And where do you live.
- In Vía Muerta also.
00:14:28.041 --> 00:14:32.625
And over here? I will introduce her,
her name is Ema.
00:14:33.333 --> 00:14:36.625
She has recently moved to Cerro Hueso
with her mom and dad.
00:14:36.708 --> 00:14:39.583
so that's why she wasn't here
for kindergarden.
00:14:39.583 --> 00:14:42.500
But she's starting 1st grade with us, okay?
00:14:42.916 --> 00:14:46.250
- Who do you live with?
- My mom, my dad and my brothers.
00:14:46.375 --> 00:14:48.666
Very well. What about you?
00:15:01.416 --> 00:15:03.416
Total places visited: 6.
00:15:03.583 --> 00:15:08.958
La Gallareta, Camino de las Almas, El Toba,
Laguna Calma, Aguaribay, and La Escondida.
00:15:09.458 --> 00:15:15.000
As we go deeper into the lagoons,
we find differences in the water's composition.
00:15:15.541 --> 00:15:21.166
In the shallower parts, we record temperatures
ranging from 28 to 30ºC.
00:15:21.416 --> 00:15:24.458
Besides a high level of sedimentation
by decomposition.
00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:28.916
Among other samples,
we extracted specimens of mahi-mahi,
00:15:28.916 --> 00:15:31.416
sábalo, oxydoras, and catfish
00:15:31.416 --> 00:15:35.208
which will be tested in laboratory
to find their cause of death.
00:16:39.583 --> 00:16:41.333
It's pouring rain.
00:16:46.416 --> 00:16:49.416
It sounds heavier because of the open space.
00:17:08.333 --> 00:17:10.333
There's a leak.
00:17:27.041 --> 00:17:28.250
It's OK.
00:17:28.958 --> 00:17:31.041
Try to get some sleep.
00:19:50.583 --> 00:19:55.291
- How many hours per day do you fish?
- Around 12 or 13 hours.
00:19:55.916 --> 00:19:58.958
Have you been seing many dead fish lately?
00:19:58.958 --> 00:20:02.666
Well yes, this last summer
00:20:02.666 --> 00:20:07.791
we found a lot of dead fish
over the still water areas of the lagoon,
00:20:07.791 --> 00:20:12.875
a lot of small catfishes dead,
like never before.
00:20:13.083 --> 00:20:15.958
Lately the sábalo is also dying.
00:20:16.875 --> 00:20:18.875
And what about the other species?
00:20:19.083 --> 00:20:23.208
- Are they all dying?
- You can see some wandering fishes
00:20:23.208 --> 00:20:25.125
as if they were ill.
00:20:27.208 --> 00:20:32.000
For the research I'm undertaking
I'd need a couple of young mahi-mahi specimens...
00:20:32.875 --> 00:20:34.416
Could you take some for me?
00:20:34.416 --> 00:20:37.250
Yes, of course, small ones?
00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:38.333
Yes...
00:20:38.750 --> 00:20:41.083
- Are you far from here?
- No, just near by.
00:20:44.416 --> 00:20:45.958
- Your name?
- José Luis.
00:20:46.458 --> 00:20:48.375
- Last name?
- Pintos.
00:20:48.958 --> 00:20:50.958
- How old are you?
- 37.
00:20:51.583 --> 00:20:55.083
- How long have you been fishing here?
- Around 20 years...
00:20:56.333 --> 00:20:58.791
- Fishing is your main livelihood?
- Yes.
00:21:01.541 --> 00:21:03.958
I'm handing these to you,
you can paint them
00:21:03.958 --> 00:21:09.083
with color pencils, markers,
and I'll give you some shiny sheets to cut.
00:21:13.250 --> 00:21:15.750
Hold this while I write it for you.
00:21:18.041 --> 00:21:20.250
You share yours with those
who don't have theirs, okay?
00:21:20.250 --> 00:21:22.166
I'm sharing mine with Kevin.
00:21:22.166 --> 00:21:24.208
You're a liar, these are mine.
00:21:24.416 --> 00:21:26.416
- What letter is this one?
- The A.
00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:28.500
Tell me a word starting with A.
00:21:28.583 --> 00:21:30.833
- Airplane.
- Very well, and this one?
00:21:30.833 --> 00:21:33.375
- The E.
- A name or a word starting with E...
00:21:33.375 --> 00:21:35.375
- Elephant.
- Very well, and this one?
00:21:35.375 --> 00:21:37.875
- The I.
- Any word...?
00:21:37.958 --> 00:21:40.958
- I for Indian.
- Indian, very well.
00:21:41.125 --> 00:21:43.000
- And this one?
- The O for Owl.
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.750
O for Owl, very well.
00:21:44.833 --> 00:21:48.500
Come Ema, let's sit down
and share our colors.
00:21:48.791 --> 00:21:50.791
Come, let's go to your desk.
00:21:50.791 --> 00:21:52.916
Very well. Let's sit down.
00:21:53.583 --> 00:21:55.166
There you go.
00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:57.416
We colored them inside.
00:21:57.416 --> 00:22:00.250
Very well!
00:22:03.625 --> 00:22:07.291
- Let's see, which one is this?
- The U.
00:22:07.333 --> 00:22:09.333
What word or name starts with a U?
00:22:10.625 --> 00:22:12.625
- Umbrella.
- Very well, and this one?
00:22:12.833 --> 00:22:16.000
- The I.
- A name or word staring with I?
00:22:16.416 --> 00:22:18.416
- Indian.
- And what else?
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:20.916
- Island.
- Very well!
00:22:20.916 --> 00:22:23.125
- A word starting with O?
- Owl.
00:22:23.125 --> 00:22:25.125
And what else?
00:22:27.291 --> 00:22:30.416
- "Owls".
- Very well. And this one?
00:22:30.416 --> 00:22:32.916
- E.
- What word starts with an E?
00:22:32.916 --> 00:22:35.083
- Elephant.
- And what else?
00:22:38.375 --> 00:22:41.916
- Head.
- Head starts with an H, remember?
00:22:42.208 --> 00:22:45.041
- Yes.
- We a have a name in this classroom,
00:22:45.166 --> 00:22:47.166
a girl's name starting with E...
00:22:48.708 --> 00:22:50.291
- Ema!
- Very well!
00:22:50.291 --> 00:22:52.291
- Umbrella.
- What else?
00:22:52.666 --> 00:22:54.500
- Us.
- Very well.
00:22:55.208 --> 00:22:57.625
Let's paint the E for Ema.
Look Ema.
00:22:57.958 --> 00:23:00.250
Like this, and this... Ema.
00:23:00.625 --> 00:23:02.625
Okay? Look...
00:23:03.041 --> 00:23:04.416
Here, okay?
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:06.416
We paint here.
00:23:06.416 --> 00:23:08.958
Very well! The E for Ema,
your name.
00:23:08.958 --> 00:23:11.666
And Irene, which one are you coloring?
00:23:11.875 --> 00:23:13.875
- The A.
- A for what?
00:23:16.291 --> 00:23:18.291
A for...?
00:23:20.666 --> 00:23:24.125
What have we outside that starts with an A?
00:23:26.375 --> 00:23:28.375
What drives your dad?
00:23:29.250 --> 00:23:34.458
The A for automobile...
For apple... Right?
00:23:35.125 --> 00:23:40.958
The A went out, the A went out
I don't know where she goes,
00:23:41.166 --> 00:23:46.583
The A went out, the A went out
I don't know where she goes,
00:23:46.916 --> 00:23:52.541
She went out to buy a gift for her mom,
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:58.458
She went out to buy a gift for her mama,
00:23:58.500 --> 00:24:02.291
With the E!
The E went out, the E went out,
00:24:02.333 --> 00:24:08.000
I don't know where she went,
The E went out, the E went out
00:24:08.083 --> 00:24:10.916
I don't know where she went
00:24:10.916 --> 00:24:16.500
She went with her aunty Martha
to drink some tea.
00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:22.083
She went with her aunty Martha
to drink some tea.
00:24:22.583 --> 00:24:28.458
The I went out, the I went out
but I didn't realized,
00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:34.416
The I went out, the I went out
but I didn't realized,
00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:39.958
She went to ride her bike around.
00:24:40.375 --> 00:24:46.125
She went to ride her bike around.
00:24:46.291 --> 00:24:51.875
The O went out, the O went out
and she's forever gone.
00:24:52.291 --> 00:24:57.958
The O went out, the O went out
and she's forever gone.
00:24:58.083 --> 00:25:03.750
She went to eat olives until she explodes.
00:25:03.833 --> 00:25:09.500
She went to eat olives until she explodes.
00:25:09.625 --> 00:25:14.916
The U went out, the U went out,
and what about you?
00:25:15.750 --> 00:25:21.416
The U went out, the U went out,
and what about you?
00:25:21.541 --> 00:25:27.083
She took her bike and got to Peru
00:25:27.541 --> 00:25:33.458
She took her bike and got to Peru.
00:26:12.291 --> 00:26:16.708
Regarding the defense,
we decided to set groups
00:26:16.708 --> 00:26:19.375
to take different shifts.
00:26:20.708 --> 00:26:25.041
This is Antonio, a new neighbor,
I saw some of you looking at him funny.
00:26:25.041 --> 00:26:27.875
He has a great project for a vegetable garden
00:26:28.041 --> 00:26:30.041
he wants to talk about today.
00:26:30.041 --> 00:26:33.208
So, go ahead Antonio, tell us about it,
00:26:33.416 --> 00:26:35.541
about your experience
and how can you help us.
00:26:36.041 --> 00:26:39.583
- Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
- Good afternoon...
00:26:39.708 --> 00:26:45.708
My family and I are very happy
to be moving here to Cerro Hueso.
00:26:46.375 --> 00:26:51.208
And well, my project is quite simple,
00:26:51.208 --> 00:26:53.625
to start with a community vegetable garden
00:26:53.916 --> 00:26:57.625
that, as Marcela was saying,
will give us some autonomy
00:26:57.625 --> 00:27:00.666
allowing us to grow our own produce
00:27:01.125 --> 00:27:06.083
as well as to recycle organic residues,
and reuse water.
00:27:06.416 --> 00:27:10.166
It's a project of self-sustainability.
00:27:10.375 --> 00:27:15.458
The problem here is the water supply,
we've tried to have a garden before,
00:27:15.666 --> 00:27:18.583
but we have serious water problems.
00:27:18.583 --> 00:27:21.541
We should think on how to solve that...
00:27:21.875 --> 00:27:24.958
Perhaps we should consider
00:27:25.250 --> 00:27:26.791
reusing rainwater.
00:27:26.791 --> 00:27:30.125
We had been working on
pomping the water from the river...
00:27:30.125 --> 00:27:31.750
Since it's near by.
00:27:31.958 --> 00:27:34.500
We thought about using some cane tubes
00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:38.583
to lead water to the water tanks
and use it for irrigation.
00:27:38.875 --> 00:27:41.875
And how many of us can work
in this vegetable garden?
00:27:41.875 --> 00:27:44.666
Whoever is up to it.
00:27:44.666 --> 00:27:48.625
It's a project for us to learn all together,
00:27:50.750 --> 00:27:55.208
I can give the kick-start
but then we'll all be there learning from it,
00:27:56.791 --> 00:27:59.791
cause in these things the experience counts...
00:27:59.791 --> 00:28:03.333
Observing how the plants grow...
00:28:03.541 --> 00:28:07.750
- And how do we share out the produce?
- Well of course, equally...
00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:10.041
It has to be fairly shared.
00:28:10.541 --> 00:28:15.583
- The harvest is shared...
- It's shared among the families contributing...
00:28:15.583 --> 00:28:18.916
Each family will get a produce bag.
00:28:19.166 --> 00:28:23.875
- Welcome then Antonio...
- I'm very honored...
00:28:24.333 --> 00:28:25.791
It's a beautiful project...
00:30:57.333 --> 00:31:00.125
Wait, not yet.
00:31:02.833 --> 00:31:05.875
You'll see when we finish.
00:31:15.541 --> 00:31:17.541
Irene's is gorgeous.
00:31:30.416 --> 00:31:32.416
Not like that, carefully, look...
00:31:34.583 --> 00:31:36.583
What would you like to put in here?
00:31:36.583 --> 00:31:38.083
What would you like?
00:31:42.333 --> 00:31:44.333
Carefully...
00:31:46.166 --> 00:31:48.916
- Here are some stickers...
- This is your King.
00:31:49.416 --> 00:31:51.416
The King.
00:31:52.166 --> 00:31:55.083
This is the King's horses, and that a mirror.
00:31:55.083 --> 00:31:57.083
Here, this way...
00:31:57.083 --> 00:31:59.166
There, like this...
00:32:01.041 --> 00:32:05.708
We'll be the both of us in this house...
00:32:05.708 --> 00:32:09.250
In this house, we'll live together.
00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:11.666
You'll have this room,
and I'll have the other.
00:32:15.541 --> 00:32:17.791
This is the color of her dress.
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:21.500
This is your bed and this...
00:32:21.541 --> 00:32:24.041
This is your bed, this one, the baby's,
00:32:24.583 --> 00:32:27.666
and this one mine.
00:32:27.666 --> 00:32:30.500
You can pick the color you like.
00:32:30.666 --> 00:32:34.500
This castle...
And this is you.
00:32:34.625 --> 00:32:38.666
In that castle, you'll have your house.
00:33:03.750 --> 00:33:05.333
Let's see.
00:33:08.958 --> 00:33:10.958
Let me see, Ema.
00:33:10.958 --> 00:33:13.000
Let me take these off.
00:33:14.541 --> 00:33:16.541
Love, love...
00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:23.500
Let mommy take these off...
00:33:24.750 --> 00:33:26.250
Ema...
00:33:35.791 --> 00:33:37.791
Come here, honey.
00:35:11.666 --> 00:35:14.875
The lack of oxygen in the water
and its increasing temperature
00:35:14.875 --> 00:35:17.041
seem to be the main cause of death.
00:35:18.958 --> 00:35:22.333
Still, I detected
a series of phenotypical changes
00:35:22.333 --> 00:35:24.958
in several samples of young mahi-mahi.
00:35:25.583 --> 00:35:27.583
And I wonder...
00:35:27.791 --> 00:35:33.916
If this isn't related to the survival rate
of this species over others.
00:37:32.166 --> 00:37:34.583
How nice...
Hi mommy...
00:37:35.041 --> 00:37:37.041
Hi mommy.
00:37:42.166 --> 00:37:44.541
So who was José Hernández?
00:37:45.083 --> 00:37:47.291
- An actor?
- A gaucho!
00:37:47.291 --> 00:37:51.250
An Argentinian gaucho,
he was a poet, a writer,
00:37:51.250 --> 00:37:53.750
and he wrote a book...
- The Martín Fierro!
00:37:53.750 --> 00:37:55.750
Very well!
00:37:55.875 --> 00:37:58.916
That the teacher chose...
And how is it also called? The...
00:37:59.583 --> 00:38:02.166
- The gaucho Bible!
- Very well...
00:38:02.541 --> 00:38:05.875
In that book he tells the story of...
00:38:05.958 --> 00:38:08.000
- Martín Fierro.
- The gauchos...
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.333
Of the gaucho, his life and garments,
00:38:11.708 --> 00:38:13.625
what they ate.
00:38:13.708 --> 00:38:15.500
What kind of work he did.
00:38:18.458 --> 00:38:20.458
Let's sit.
00:38:43.791 --> 00:38:47.208
Come, let's go back to the music lesson.
00:38:48.583 --> 00:38:50.041
Come.
00:38:50.958 --> 00:38:52.958
Come...
00:38:59.166 --> 00:39:02.958
That too... Now come...
00:39:08.125 --> 00:39:13.041
The horse, the gaucho, the lady...
00:39:13.041 --> 00:39:15.875
And what else? Very good...
00:39:16.833 --> 00:39:20.666
Good, and the other?
Good...
00:39:26.125 --> 00:39:28.500
Let's go back with the rest now.
00:43:33.458 --> 00:43:34.625
Mom...
00:43:35.333 --> 00:43:37.083
It is daylight.
00:45:10.250 --> 00:45:12.916
Honey please leave it and let's eat.
00:45:15.500 --> 00:45:18.166
Leave the horsy for now.
00:45:18.166 --> 00:45:22.500
You'll play with it later,
we'll leave it here while we eat.
00:45:22.708 --> 00:45:26.416
Here you have some squash.
You're skinny, honey.
00:45:30.958 --> 00:45:32.958
Take this.
00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:53.875
Boys, put your hand behind your back.
00:46:54.083 --> 00:46:57.750
The girls, grab your skirt.
00:46:58.041 --> 00:47:03.291
With you head and chin
well raised. Hold your head high.
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.583
A little turn, very well...
Go ahead, Irene.
00:47:13.958 --> 00:47:18.250
Come forward Ema.
Ariel, help her make the turn.
00:47:19.916 --> 00:47:21.916
The other way around...
00:47:22.166 --> 00:47:25.291
More over here, that's it.
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:27.833
That's it! Very well.
00:47:28.041 --> 00:47:30.166
Let's separate a little more.
00:47:30.583 --> 00:47:32.583
To the side not towards the back.
00:47:32.791 --> 00:47:36.666
To one side...
Ariel find your partner.
00:47:37.375 --> 00:47:40.083
One, two...
00:47:41.208 --> 00:47:42.541
Half-turn
00:47:43.625 --> 00:47:46.166
The other way around.
Very well.
00:47:46.375 --> 00:47:48.666
One, two, three...
00:47:50.875 --> 00:47:53.875
Tap-dancing. Let's see it.
00:47:59.291 --> 00:48:02.083
Very well!
Ariel look for your partner.
00:48:03.333 --> 00:48:05.166
Tap-dancing, let's see the girls.
00:48:21.541 --> 00:48:23.541
Come Ema.
00:48:23.541 --> 00:48:26.583
Okay, she has her time.
00:48:26.750 --> 00:48:29.791
Let's help her with the outlines...
00:48:30.708 --> 00:48:32.833
This is the flower from the coral tree.
00:48:46.208 --> 00:48:48.208
This is your place?
00:48:49.291 --> 00:48:51.041
There you go.
00:48:51.166 --> 00:48:53.166
Let's give her some space.
00:48:53.166 --> 00:48:55.166
Perfect. It's the end.
00:48:55.500 --> 00:48:59.333
Final turn.
One, two, three...
00:49:00.041 --> 00:49:03.833
And four. Perfect!
Very well!
00:49:15.083 --> 00:49:17.083
Now, Irene...
00:49:18.583 --> 00:49:21.250
Ema with her partner.
00:49:42.958 --> 00:49:45.000
Let's get in line for the flag anthem.
00:49:46.208 --> 00:49:48.333
Today, will be pulling down the flag
00:49:48.625 --> 00:49:51.583
Joel, Tahiel, Azul and Kevin.
00:49:51.833 --> 00:49:56.291
For their good work, for being good classmates
and bringing their school aprons.
00:49:56.958 --> 00:49:58.541
A big hand for them.
00:50:02.666 --> 00:50:04.666
Should we get started?
00:50:04.750 --> 00:50:08.750
... White banner from the sky,
00:50:08.791 --> 00:50:12.000
where the sun reigns,
00:50:12.083 --> 00:50:17.666
The most noble one, glorious and saint,
00:50:17.958 --> 00:50:23.458
The firmament lend you its color,
00:50:23.458 --> 00:50:28.666
The firmament lend you its color,
00:50:28.750 --> 00:50:33.833
The firmament lend you its color,
00:50:34.041 --> 00:50:39.375
I salute you, my homeland's flag
00:50:39.541 --> 00:50:44.708
The sublime ensign of freedom and honor,
00:50:44.958 --> 00:50:50.125
I swear to love you and defend you,
00:50:50.291 --> 00:50:54.791
As long as my faithful heart continues to beat,
00:50:55.333 --> 00:51:01.208
As long as my faithful heart continues to beat...
00:51:09.208 --> 00:51:12.083
And today, the teddy bear
will go home with Camila.
00:51:12.291 --> 00:51:16.125
For helping her classmates,
00:51:16.458 --> 00:51:19.125
and watching over the toilets
during recess.
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.375
You already had it...
00:51:29.833 --> 00:51:34.166
- See you tomorrow 1st grade!
- See you tomorrow Miss Lili.
00:52:06.958 --> 00:52:09.791
Out! Out!
00:53:27.166 --> 00:53:29.166
Here, you want water?
00:53:40.458 --> 00:53:42.458
Poor thing...
00:53:48.125 --> 00:53:51.166
Very well, very well, Estrellita.
00:53:56.083 --> 00:53:58.958
Good girl, Estrellita.
00:54:56.458 --> 00:54:59.041
She like these long ones.
00:55:00.750 --> 00:55:03.125
Hey, she's your friend now!
00:55:04.291 --> 00:55:07.708
She became your friend,
look how she wants you to feed her.
00:55:17.625 --> 00:55:19.291
Look how she eats.
00:55:23.583 --> 00:55:25.208
Come here.
00:55:40.750 --> 00:55:42.875
For us it's sugar.
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.666
Everything but the sugar!
00:55:46.041 --> 00:55:48.375
To me, you better don't leave without mate.
00:55:49.666 --> 00:55:53.125
- And the yerba has become expensive.
- It's true, it's expensive.
00:55:53.291 --> 00:55:56.375
But it doesn't matter,
I use it more than once.
00:55:58.416 --> 00:56:00.708
She has it sun-dried!
00:56:09.541 --> 00:56:14.625
Since you have a nice patio...
We could have a music festival.
00:56:15.458 --> 00:56:18.750
We could sell things.
00:56:19.333 --> 00:56:22.291
Something that would leave us
with enough money
00:56:22.291 --> 00:56:24.958
after just one day of festival
00:56:25.208 --> 00:56:28.458
to maintain the school cafeteria
for the kids during the summer break,
00:56:28.458 --> 00:56:31.500
and to pay the debts we have with our dealers.
00:56:31.791 --> 00:56:35.416
So to leave the school with no debts.
00:56:35.583 --> 00:56:40.375
- My family can play, we have guitars...
- That's great!
00:56:40.458 --> 00:56:42.458
That would be great.
00:56:43.416 --> 00:56:47.583
If you could talk to them
so to know as soon as possible...
00:56:48.041 --> 00:56:51.041
So we have 3 cumbia bands.
00:56:51.166 --> 00:56:53.958
- Yes, there'll be no problem.
- If we all agree...
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:55.333
Yes, yes.
00:56:55.458 --> 00:56:57.375
Tasks need to be assigned...
00:56:57.375 --> 00:57:00.000
On one hand, we have the music bands,
00:57:00.041 --> 00:57:03.458
and on the other, the cafeteria, right?
- I'll take notes...
00:57:03.541 --> 00:57:06.000
It's more a buffet than a cafeteria.
00:57:06.208 --> 00:57:10.875
So the admission ticket
will be non-perishable food items.
00:57:13.875 --> 00:57:16.750
I open them and you divide them.
00:57:28.625 --> 00:57:31.000
Fish empanadas
00:57:31.291 --> 00:57:34.666
are nice in this kind of night.
00:57:34.958 --> 00:57:38.458
- You're going to fry them?
- No, we'll cook them in the oven.
01:01:20.875 --> 01:01:22.416
Look, Ema.
01:01:27.416 --> 01:01:32.291
These two were the mom and the dad,
and those three, their little ones.
01:01:34.333 --> 01:01:37.916
After submitting the samples
to a process of gradual hypoxia
01:01:38.208 --> 01:01:43.625
I was able to find that the younger specimens
of mahi-mahi develop an alternative phenotype
01:01:43.625 --> 01:01:46.708
to adapt to the changing environment.
01:01:47.458 --> 01:01:51.291
A fast and reversible plasticity
01:01:51.458 --> 01:01:53.708
that allows them to survive.
01:01:54.541 --> 01:01:56.625
It is not a gradual response.
01:01:57.083 --> 01:02:00.500
but a rather sudden and pronounced one
01:02:00.708 --> 01:02:06.333
to be interpreted as an evolved adaptation strategy
to the adversity of the environment.
01:02:26.750 --> 01:02:29.000
Let me see. Give me that.
01:02:29.250 --> 01:02:31.500
I see the family is getting bigger.
01:02:32.083 --> 01:02:33.250
And why is that?
01:02:33.541 --> 01:02:35.958
This mare is pregnant.
01:02:35.958 --> 01:02:37.958
She can't be, she's too old.
01:02:37.958 --> 01:02:41.500
But she's completely pregnant.
01:02:42.458 --> 01:02:45.541
- Are you sure?
- Completely.
01:02:45.666 --> 01:02:47.666
You can trust me.
01:02:49.583 --> 01:02:51.291
We're going to have a little horse.
01:02:51.291 --> 01:02:54.541
You'll have a new family member.
01:02:56.125 --> 01:02:58.708
- I made a good deal, then.
- Absolutely.
01:03:23.583 --> 01:03:28.416
As he grew up, my brother would develop
different skills, but he wouldn't speak.
01:03:28.416 --> 01:03:33.208
The doctors said he might be autistic,
and when he reached the age to go to school
01:03:33.208 --> 01:03:36.541
it seemed no school was willing to receive him.
01:03:39.666 --> 01:03:45.333
After being rejected by 17 schools,
there was finally one that welcomed him.
01:03:48.375 --> 01:03:53.500
A small school, in a humble riverside town
a few kilometers from Santa Fe city.
01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:57.541
The only one to answer
his application for admission.
01:04:10.250 --> 01:04:14.208
This film is inspired by his story.
01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:20.375
After his first year of school,
01:04:20.375 --> 01:04:23.500
and thanks to the help and dedication
of his teacher and classmates,
01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:25.875
my brother started to speak.
01:04:25.875 --> 01:04:28.375
And very soon after,
he started to read and write.
01:04:30.958 --> 01:04:33.333
His story became known.
01:04:33.333 --> 01:04:38.166
And on the following year, other children
with his same condition joined the school.
