Maria Fernanda...

What is this, Luis?

This is a girl. She started the trip with

us in the north, but she never finished it.

What did she die of?

I think of sadness.

Did you speak to her?

Only with the eyes.

And what did you talk about?

I wanted to tell her

not to be sad.

Because it was very bad to leave that place,

but it was better comming here.

But i didn't have time.

Professor, where is my bulletin?

Where do you live?

and 80 too for geography.

And, this, this is a ...

a good sign, right?

Is good, yes, Mrs Lindu.

Thank you.

The maximum grade is 100.

That't. It's good that it is good,

right?

Missis Lindu, i did come until here

personaly to bring you the bulletin...

because... i wanted

to tell you...

that your son is a very

intelligent boy.

And... i know exactly

what You are talking about.

I wanted to collaborate

to ensure his future.

My intention...

Well, i could stay with him...

if you wanted,

if you let me...

I know that i can give him

a very good education.

But you are saying that...

Stay with him, what do you mean?

I could adopt him legally.

It is only a question of...

Look, mrs...

i am very pleased with the education

that You are giving...

to my son in your school.

I thank you from my heart

the praising, because...
