The peaks are covered by snow all year long.

The whitest the thickest of snows.

It's so beautiful walking on the snow..

But you don't know what snow is...

It's a little...

.. like walking on light feathers, like goose feathers.

Soft like the lambs' wool.

There even are... trees. Many so many trees!

Huge forests, full with animals!

Stags... You know them?

Those big animals that have branches on their heads, like those in the trees.

And then, there and then, there're wild boars. wild boars.

Good afternoon.

This is the girl that came yesterday morning.

How beautiful you are... What's your name?

You're so kind... Thank you so much.

Good morning.

What's your name?

Good morning.

I've just seen Antonio. They're taking him to prison.

Damn! We must do something. Make a protest, perhaps.

You're right. But you'll see they won't listen.

Yes, I know it, it's true.

I'm afraid they'll be suspecting even me now.

I love you.

Why? Because you know him?

Dad... Dad...

Hi, handsome. This is my son, do you know him'?

- Whats the matter? - I want to speak to the little girl.

What little girl? Her?

She doesn't know you.

- "A man walked by.. " - You too, read.

“he saw him but didn't stop..."

"another man walked by and he also walked past..."

Maudzio, your turn now

"..but a Samaritan, as he travelled, came close to the poor man..."

moved with compassion, he bound up his wounds..."

...he bandaged him up... set him on his own horse... and took him to the closest inn...

Matteo... Stand up.

Make a summary of what you've understood.

- Of this? - Yes. - Of the "Good Samaritan"? - Yes.

Once upon a time, a man... a poor man... was walking along a road...

...bandits came to him... they beat him... and left him half dead along the road...

...a man walked by..

...and didn't take care of the man...

...another man walked by and he also walked past... a third man walked by..

...a Samaritan... got off from the horse...

...he bandaged him and took him to an inn...

...the innkeeper said he was going to take care of him... and gave him two denani

Where is the adjective? Where are the adjectives in this sentence?

Here there's no... the...

Wait Nicolino, you must think let her think...

There is an adjective in this sentence, where is it?

Where is it? D'you know Where is it? D'you know Matteo??

- Wait wait Antonio. Where is it? D'you know Matteo?. - “Lonely“.

"Lonely" yes. Because only "lonely"...

Explains how the road is?

What does "lonely" mean?

- A bad road. - Shhh, Antonio, let Filomena think...

A road bad people and bandits travelled on.

No, the adjective "lo-ne-ly" what does it mean?

- It means... - What does a "lonely" little girl mean?

Bad?

- No, it”s a little girl who... Where is it? D'you know Matteo?? - Who is alone.

Who is alone.

You mean, a little girl without friends

- It”s something... - No. Without father or mother

No, because...

No one was travelling on that road then... As if it was poor..

Yes, but you can be without daddy and mummy and not be lonely because you got friends,

you got teachers... Have you understood Nicolino?

You are not lonely

Nicolino, Maurizio and Where is it? D'you know Matteo? here.

What're you doing'?! You're nasty! I'll be forced to punish you.

Antonio! Nicole! That's enough!

- They're only playing...

A game'?! Look how they're hitting each other! I really don't think it's a game.

They're very young and it's only natural to do this while growing up!

Don't you see how they're hitting each other'?! They're nasty!

Can't you see they're playing!

I really think so... look but...

You'll see what happens if you let them free...

Don't you think it's better to do this as a game, than do it for real?

If they don't do it playing, they'll do it for real.

I really don't think so, because, this way, letting the children free...

Oh, you'll never understand anything!

"Dear Mio... Come to my home. "

“Come... come soon to my home. "

"Because I want to see you. Raffaele "

Dear... dear... dear...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you make it?

Really?

I'm scared because the policemen have come to take my father away.

A man came.

He talked with my father in a very loud voice.

The policemen arrested him.

So, now, don't to forget there already is a ten here.

Let”s go on counting.

Very well, Mio

Can you see how well she speaks Italian now?

Count.

Five...

Yes...

- Mio - Yes, Raphael.

Why don't we climb up the Nuraghi?

- Ouch! - Yes, it hurts indeed.

You know, the Nuraghi are really strong.

They hurt very much.

You see? My head hurts.

Yes... because, look...

- There is a wall here... - It moves.

There is a big stone...

- Raffaele? - Hm?

- Beautiful these flowers. - Yes.

- Very beautiful. - Yes.

- Flowers... How're these flowers called? - I don't know.

See? Look how beautiful they are.

Yes, they're beautiful. Look how beautiful the grass down there is.

Look!

Nuraghi... modern...

Nuraghi... modern...

- Little Nuraghi. - Modem- Yes, modern.

- Little Nuraghi...... - Oh, it's beautiful, look... cows

Why are your eyes different?

- I come from far away. - Where from?

Seven seas...

- What're the seven seas? - Seven seas...

War.

- What is war? - War is...

Everything dead!

- Your mother? - Dead.

- Your father? - Dead.

And the others?

All is dead. So, war no good, no beautiful.

It's not beautiful, it's not good.

Shall we go?

Number two!

Run! Take it! One point for us!

Well done, Mio!

- Thanks for having invited us. - There's nothing to it.

- Hi. - Hi! - How're you?

I'm fine, thank you.

- Look at Miio and Raphael? - They're friends now.

- Hi, Alfredo. - Good morning.

Hi, Michele.

Hi, Andrea, how're you? Are you fine?

Listen, Raffaele, there's something I want you to do.

You go and join Brigitte and the other children who are having a picnic, alright?

How's Antonio doing?

He's reasonably well. I'm doing my very best to try to get him out.

- And your mother, Michele, how is she? - So and so...

The only thing I can do for you for now is give you this.

Bye, Michelle. Bye, Andrea. I'll be coming later.

Bye, alright?

Antonio is no smuggler.

It seems to me, I'm sure,

he hasn't done something serious enough to justify his arrest.

But, you know, the town hall here has something against him...

He and his family have always refused to move...

.. somewhere else from here when the mine closed years ago.

Antonio is in a way the victim of this unjust and unfounded minds.

I've always tried to help him and his children the best way I could.

So, children, today we'll be having the drawing class.

I've brought you two bottles.

D'you see these bottles?

I know it's a little difficult drawing them,

but I'd like you to draw them exactly as you see them.

Alright? Exactly like this.

Yes? Like this.

This also isn't good, Mio.

You see, it's very different.

Come on. Turn and go on drawing.

So, does this look similar? It looks different, doesn't it?

You must draw it exactly similar.

You see this bottle, don't you? Does this look like a bottle?

Well?

You must draw something identical with those objects. Alright?

Don't look at me this way, will you?

Even here, it looks like a tower.

No, no, it absolutely isn't right. You must do it again.

It's awful.

No, Maurizio's drawing is too big.

And then, the colours he's used aren't alright.

That's why this drawing isn't good.

Let's see the other one.

This one is too small, it doesn't follow the proportions.

Now...

And this one...

... it's also small, it doesn't follow the proportions...

.. of the bottles, and, then, you've used the wrong colours.

Here it's violet, but this bottle is orange, isn't it?

And you, I told you had to use exactly the real...

.. colours. True?

It isn't good.

Absolutely

Forward! War game!

Forward!

Careful... Careful, Filomena!

Is he dead?

No, Antonio!

More dead!

He's dead...

Flowers, please!

- Children, you must all be ready for the carnival. - Yes!

So, I will make you a proposition.

Do you know that close by there's an orphanage?

So...

I'm proposing you spend the carnival with the children at the orphanage.

Nooo....

Because I don't know them.

I don't want to...

I... No... No...

I don't want to spend it with them because they don't know our costumes.

- Customs... - I find if very strange that you...

.. reject any form of collaborating with the other children

I understand you want to play among yourselves because you know each other,

because you're always together you have better fun together

but you should start from a young age to know other people.

Hi, Alfredo.

- How're you? - Fine. And you?

- Well enough. - I'll fetch you a chair.

No, thank you, I don't need a chair. Tell me...

- Where's Brigitte? - I don't know.

Could you call her? Thank you.

Brigitte, come for a moment please.

- What”s the matter? - Alfredo.

- Hi, Brigitte. How're you? - Bonjour.

I've great news. The children have finally agreed.

- For the carnival? - Yes, for the carnival.

I'm very happy.

Then, that's how we'll do: 22 or 23 children,

- To invite them? - I find it a good idea.

And then I'd like to do something else:

I'd like to invite the children from the mine

- D'you think that's alright? - Yes, I think so.

- Yes. - Then, that's what we'll do.

Mio. What's the matter?

My God! What happened?

- Wash toilet? - When?

Excuse me, I have to go help her.

Tina, I'd like to know your opinion about this carnival.

Well, I don't have a precise opinion right now.

- I don't know. - You don't know what to say.

- Well, I'm going. Good evening. - Good evening.

We always draw... on a notebook. Where else can we draw?

On the walls... on the rocks!

- Yes, on the walls. - On the rocks.

On fine sand... on wet sand...

Drawing castles, drawing animals, drawing young girls...

Yes... Yes...

And we could even go see the rocks at Capo Testa.

To draw a squid... then... that thing... how is it called... the horse...

A cave... a turtle...

- Why? Why Made-Anotonietta? - Why a turtle

What does a rock make you think at?

How beautiful!

No, not this one. The green one.

It's beautiful.

I was like a child.

Are you talking to me?

I think he was tall and handsome.

But how is he, actually?

I don't know

Your mother.. how is she?

Even she died.

How come we haven't seen Brigitte these last days?

- She's found another job. - I don't believe that.

You don't'? Why don't you believe it, since it's I who's telling you?

She hasn't said goodbye?

Hasn't she?

Enough with this talk! Brigitte! Brigitte has left, alright?

I should've know it'd end like this.

There was nothing good to be expected from her.

Anyway, you must stop talking about her.

I'd rather ask you, Tina, to take these children out right now, orderly,

for gardening.

- Put your shoes on. - I won't.

Silence. Put your shoes on.

Look, the-re 'S Malfatti with his son.
