Fire at Sea Page #5

"Depressed"?

Depressed, unhappy.

But you have to read it, come on.

"Impatient".

- Impatient.

- Good.

Then?

"Jealous".

Jealous.

"Shocked".

- What could it mean?

- Shocked?

Frightened.

Shocked.

I am shocked by your preparation,

we are all shocked

by the class' preparation, right?

"Stressed".

Stressed.

Come on, row.

Don't hit my boat.

I'll move now, come on.

Keep rowing forward.

Or else you'll never be

a sailor, row!

In Lampedusa, we're all sailors.

Row, row.

Forward.

- Come on, Samuele, row.

- Like this?

Row. The prow facing the boats.

This way?

- The prow towards me.

- Like this?

No, not that way!

Turn the boat around!

Turn with this one.

- Keep turning with this one.

- This one?

Bring the prow this way,

row forward.

Row forward, row.

Where did you stick the oar?

Keep going, Samuele.

I'm going to get stuck

in the patrol boats.

You'll get stuck in the middle,

grab hold of the line!

Hold on to the line.

Hold on!

Wait.

I'll throw you a line

and pull you out.

Keep holding on,

or you'll be crushed by the boats.

Can you see good?

Yeah, good, but a tiny bit bad too,

just a weeny bit bad.

A teeny-weeny bit bad.

Now I'm much better,

at first I could hardly see at all,

but now I can see

a little less bad.

You should wear them at school.

But I do wear them at school.

Look at this wind!

Yes, there's a storm coming.

30 knots.

How much, 30 knots?

Wow.

You thought it was less?

A weeny bit less.

- So, what's wrong?

- I feel like...

I have trouble breathing,

I'm also allergic to dust mites

and sometimes I can't breathe.

But not always.

- A little bit.

- Sometimes.

- How long have you had this problem?

- For quite a while.

A month, two months,

a year, two years?

Maybe a year.

Does it happen in summer or winter?

Whenever, a couple of times.

Whenever.

Why is your face all scribbled on?

At school.

- With a pen?

- Yes.

- And your eye?

- I've got a lazy eye.

When I had my eyes examined

I had a tenth,

now I have five tenths.

- How long have you been wearing this?

- A month.

- You've recovered quite a bit.

- From one tenth to five tenths.

- It works.

But it's still not fixed,

I have to get to nine tenths.

- You'll get there.

- If I always wear it.

Did you have

this problem this morning?

No, not this morning.

Now I'll examine you.

- Now, a little bit.

- A little bit.

Just a bit.

Do you feel like you can't breathe

or does it feel heavy,

do you feel you can't get the air in?

I can't get the air in.

That's it.

Can I examine you now and we'll see?

So we'll see what's what,

lift your shirt...

- And you'll figure it out?

- Of course.

That's what we're here for.
