not going to be like your father.
Already you've got his smile.
What are you going to do?
All the men in our family lie.
and they say it's raining.
Be honest.
Tell me what you came for.
Don't lie again. Your grandfather
told me what you wanted.
What did he tell you I wanted?
Money. True?
True.
Why should I give you money?
What do you need it for?
You're an old woman.
Get out, you're just like
your father! Get out!
Don't do that.
Listen to me. You're my last hope,
do you know that?
I'm going away.
Good.
Far away.
The farther, the better.
To America,
I'm going to America.
Give me enough
to get to Constantinople.
There, I'll work and make the rest.
Hear me. You're my last hope.
Put me down.
Long ago...
you used to say to me
when I come of age...
you had something to give me.
I remember you as a little baby...
soft and round and made of butter.
And I remember you in a little blue
dress that your mother made you.
A little saint,
with a blessed, pale face.
And your eyes,
shining with God's own light.
My boy.
I thought, if only the whole world
were like that.
Here, take it.
It was your grandfather's.
I don't need this,
I need money.
You need this more,
take it.
It will remind you that no sheep
ever saved its neck by bleating.
I'll take it and put it
Stavros! I'm an old woman,
you can't frighten me.
Where's your money?
I need money.
It is here, under my clothing.
You're not going to America,
you're your father's son.
Go home, be what you are.
Anything, anything...
help me.
Anything? Anything...
I'll remember you,
in America, I'll pray for you.
You?
You're going to America?
With the help of Jesus.
On foot?
However.
With nothing?
Each day, part of the distance.
How will you get there with those?
Take these.
Where do you come from?
Far away.
See those clouds? Behind
those clouds there are mountains.
The mountains of Armenia.
I'll remember you.
Isaac!
Isaac, the family is eating.
Isaac, I've brought you some food.
I want you to eat something.
He did this once before,
stayed in there for nine days.
Isaac.
Isaac.
You're forgetting who you are.
If I want food, I'll call you.
I don't want to see you,
I want to see my son.
Stavros.
Stavros.
Where are your shoes?
What did you do with your shoes?
I've been waiting for you.
What? Where?
Where have you been?
Vasso, leave.
Yes, Isaac.
Remember,
you're talking to your father.
Come here, boy.
Sit close to me.
You look changed.
When I don't see you for a day,
you look changed.
