Exactly. But you do.

Take it now.

Give it back when we find Simon.

Simon Sanchez's parents

feel more and more forsaken.

The 7-year-old boy disappeared

from his home 6 months ago.

The situation

is even more desperate

because Simon is ill

and needs daily medication.

My son disappeared 6 months ago.

His name is Simon.

There are posters everywhere.

You may have seen them.

We've tried everything,

but not one clue,

not even a trace.

My son had imaginary friends.

We never paid much attention but...

l have the feeling

they're in the house.

l saw my daughter.

A year after her death.

lt was at night, we were asleep.

l woke up and,

without knowing why,

l went to her room.

And there she was.

Smiling. Calm.

lt was herway of telling me:

''l'm fine, l'm safe,

don't sufferfor me.''

lt is not unusual to feel,

in some way,

the presence of a loved one

aftertheir death.

All of us in this group

could tell you similar stories.

You don't understand.

My son is not dead.

His friends took him.

l saw one of them.

He was at home.

l'll do whatever it takes

to recover my son.

l'm not crazy,

believe me.

l know what l'm saying.

lt's her.

The woman who came to the house.

Benigna?

Simon!

We went to Benigna's house.

We found some pictures

and old Super 8 films.

l'd like you to see them.

Are any of the faces familiar?

Antonia, the principal, the orphans.

My friends.

Martin.

She liked to be called Martin.

Rita.

Victor...

l think his name was Guillermo.

That's Alicia, she was blind.

And this is me.

Benigna?

The woman you saw

worked at the orphanage.

That's impossible. l'd remember!

She wasn't there very long.

She had a son. Tomas.

The child was deformed,

he was kept away from the others.

No one knew.

lt was a total shock

when they found the body.

What do you mean?

lt seems he disappeared while playing.

CHlLD'S BODY FOUND ON BEACH

Shortly afteryour adoption.

One of the orphans confessed

that they had played

a trick on him.

They went into the caves

with Tomas

and took his mask off

to see if he'd come out.

But he never emerged.

He drowned.

They found his body at low tide.

The children weren't blamed.

They were only playing.

That boy was in my house.

We asked everyone

at the opening party.

No one remembers a child

with a sack mask.

l can't sleep through the night.

l can't stop thinking.

Rememberwhat we called Simon

when we met him?

''Two Little Kilos''.

''My two little extra kilos''.

That's all he weighed.

The doctors said it wasn't enough.

But it was plenty for us.

Although we knew

there was little chance

he could ever be normal.

But when we saw him,

saw his smile forthe first time...
