WEBVTT

00:00:24.675 --> 00:00:28.205
Because of you. I got to
know your beautiful country.

00:00:29.505 --> 00:00:32.165
The wide openness, the
lands without roads.

00:00:33.595 --> 00:00:37.405
They felt strangely familiar and
allowed me to breathe freely.

00:00:42.955 --> 00:00:43.965
When you and I met,

00:00:44.725 --> 00:00:48.125
I needed to look closely because
I didn\'t speak your language,

00:00:50.705 --> 00:00:53.845
me safely positioned behind my camera.

00:00:55.385 --> 00:00:58.405
You exposed and so courageous,

00:00:59.085 --> 00:01:00.485
allowing me to see your loneliness.

00:01:07.405 --> 00:01:11.005
I wanted to undo what had been done
to you, make things right for you.

00:01:12.355 --> 00:01:16.805
Instead, you helped me find what I
didn\'t even know I was looking for.

00:01:18.365 --> 00:01:19.198
I.

00:01:42.545 --> 00:01:45.285
As long as I can remember, I loved movies.

00:01:46.065 --> 00:01:49.085
Movies inspired me and taught
me to navigate the world.

00:01:49.625 --> 00:01:54.565
Movies let me know it\'s okay
to have big feelings. At 16,

00:01:55.445 --> 00:01:59.725
I knew I wanted to be a
cinematographer. My mother\'s response,

00:02:00.505 --> 00:02:05.045
who do you think you are? As a
good German, you stay in line.

00:02:05.505 --> 00:02:08.845
You don\'t stand out. But I\'m also Syrian,

00:02:09.345 --> 00:02:12.805
so I packed my bag and left. Eventually,

00:02:13.445 --> 00:02:18.405
I did become a cinematographer.
As a professional nomad,

00:02:18.845 --> 00:02:23.485
I am in constant motion traveling the
world to tell other people\'s stories.

00:02:26.985 --> 00:02:28.045
In 2008,

00:02:28.405 --> 00:02:32.045
I was hired to shoot a film about the
large number of homeless children in

00:02:32.125 --> 00:02:32.958
Mongolia.

00:02:35.475 --> 00:02:37.845
This is where our story begins.

00:02:44.725 --> 00:02:46.925
Mongolia was going through
a rough transition.

00:02:48.215 --> 00:02:50.125
After the sudden fall of communism.

00:02:50.385 --> 00:02:53.565
The country\'s economy and
social system had collapsed.

00:02:55.995 --> 00:02:58.485
Many children were forced
to fend for themselves

00:03:00.835 --> 00:03:04.965
with nowhere to go and to escape
the extreme winter temperatures.

00:03:05.885 --> 00:03:09.095
They saw refuge in the city\'s
underground heating system.

00:03:11.595 --> 00:03:14.055
The international press
called them manhole children

00:03:24.165 --> 00:03:25.585
to connect with homeless kids.

00:03:25.805 --> 00:03:30.145
We followed the police who routinely
collected them to reunite them with their

00:03:30.425 --> 00:03:34.025
families. The kids feared the police,

00:03:34.605 --> 00:03:37.145
but there was no other
support system in place.

00:03:51.045 --> 00:03:55.885
I thought this would be an assignment
like many others. Before then,

00:03:56.525 --> 00:03:57.725
I met Basca.

00:05:13.155 --> 00:05:17.145
After the filming was done, I
wasn\'t ready to just move on.

00:05:18.385 --> 00:05:21.985
I wanted to know what happens next
and followed Basca to the child

00:05:22.425 --> 00:05:23.265
identification Center.

00:05:31.125 --> 00:05:33.985
At the police run shelter.
The kids could get a break.

00:05:35.085 --> 00:05:39.145
Two months after that, if
no parents had been found,

00:05:39.855 --> 00:05:41.625
they would be sent to adult shelters,

00:05:43.725 --> 00:05:48.185
afraid of the violence there. The kids
would run away before their time was up.

00:05:53.945 --> 00:05:58.405
I wanted to know more about this boy who
had so bravely shared a moment of his

00:05:58.405 --> 00:06:02.365
life with us, my camera,
giving me permission to look.

00:06:31.165 --> 00:06:31.998
Hydrogen

00:07:30.595 --> 00:07:31.428
to it,

00:07:51.195 --> 00:07:52.055
to do the job.

00:08:00.515 --> 00:08:02.895
The next day I had to
leave to return home.

00:08:07.665 --> 00:08:12.225
I couldn\'t shake the image of Paska
sitting in the dark trying to care for his

00:08:12.225 --> 00:08:13.058
young friend.

00:08:17.805 --> 00:08:21.825
As a cinematographer, I am usually
a quiet, invisible observer.

00:08:24.245 --> 00:08:27.145
But this time I had to step in

00:08:34.495 --> 00:08:38.235
to find a home for Basca called
countless organizations in Mongolia,

00:08:38.735 --> 00:08:42.955
but no one would help. As
a 16-year-old teenage boy,

00:08:43.005 --> 00:08:44.715
BASCA was deemed too difficult,

00:08:48.505 --> 00:08:49.755
difficult for whom.

00:08:54.835 --> 00:08:58.205
Although I didn\'t have a clear plan,
I went back as soon as I could.

00:10:03.095 --> 00:10:06.845
Basca told me he wanted to live in the
countryside and with nothing else to go

00:10:06.905 --> 00:10:08.485
on. I followed his lead.

00:10:12.185 --> 00:10:15.325
aur, who as the police
chief of the care center,

00:10:15.665 --> 00:10:19.885
was technically Basques Guardian,
led me to his friend Bimba,

00:10:20.485 --> 00:10:25.405
a herder who had a farm one
hour outside the city at Bibas

00:10:25.405 --> 00:10:26.238
Farm.

00:10:26.335 --> 00:10:30.445
Basca would have an adult he could connect
with and learn the ins and outs of a

00:10:30.445 --> 00:10:31.278
hurt us business.

00:10:34.125 --> 00:10:37.285
I bought him a year so he would
have a home within his new home

00:10:39.595 --> 00:10:41.645
with no official foster system in place.

00:10:42.105 --> 00:10:46.365
We all made it up as best as we
could as we were going along.

00:10:52.045 --> 00:10:55.525
I didn\'t want Basca story to end
in that center. Like in the film.

00:10:55.645 --> 00:10:57.165
I had shot on my first trip,

00:10:58.145 --> 00:11:02.245
so I kept filming and taking pictures
to create new memories for basca.

00:12:24.495 --> 00:12:27.765
Basca did so well. Within six months,

00:12:27.985 --> 00:12:32.765
we signed him up for a trade school
program for heavy machinery so he

00:12:32.765 --> 00:12:36.045
could get a well-paid job
and save up for his cows.

00:12:37.305 --> 00:12:40.405
Two years later, we
celebrated his graduation.

00:12:41.275 --> 00:12:44.085
Despite never having had a
chance to go to regular school,

00:12:44.975 --> 00:12:49.925
BASCA taught himself to read and
write by studying billboards and now

00:12:50.575 --> 00:12:52.045
graduating with honors.

00:12:54.605 --> 00:12:56.085
I was so proud of him.

00:12:58.355 --> 00:13:02.365
Motivated by basca success, I
wanted to help another teenager,

00:13:03.245 --> 00:13:05.365
a girl I also met at
the Children\'s Center.

00:13:07.505 --> 00:13:11.365
NAA was 13 years old.
She was so shy and timid,

00:13:11.665 --> 00:13:15.885
but seemed long for connection as a girl.

00:13:16.185 --> 00:13:19.125
She had an even harder
time to be seen and heard.

00:13:21.485 --> 00:13:25.805
A year later on my fourth
trip there was Benny, also 13.

00:13:28.055 --> 00:13:31.125
Bimba had taken him in to help
out while Basca was at school,

00:13:31.505 --> 00:13:33.805
and I decided to support Benny as well.

00:13:35.775 --> 00:13:38.725
Benny would answer all
questions with, I don\'t know,

00:13:39.505 --> 00:13:43.765
as if he tried to be invisible, but
he had a quiet determination. Nation.

00:13:46.945 --> 00:13:48.805
Nas and Benny joined basca at the farm.

00:13:49.885 --> 00:13:54.405
I bought them some livestock so the
kids could grow their own small herd and

00:13:54.475 --> 00:13:55.525
inquire property.

00:13:57.785 --> 00:14:01.925
My plan was that all three kids
would gain some skills and education

00:14:02.385 --> 00:14:05.725
before the two younger ones
officially aged out of state care.

00:14:16.395 --> 00:14:17.845
That was the plan.

00:14:40.705 --> 00:14:45.565
My friend Langa helped us communicate.
She was there from day one.

00:14:46.515 --> 00:14:49.605
Initially, the translator,
we had become fast friends.

00:14:51.165 --> 00:14:55.645
Langa would check in with the kids
regularly while I traveled back and forth.

00:15:53.855 --> 00:15:54.688
Hi.

00:15:54.815 --> 00:15:55.648
Hi.

00:15:56.495 --> 00:15:58.395
You know I\'m coming in four days, right?

00:15:59.145 --> 00:16:04.075
Yeah, no, tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow coming. I\'m waiting.

00:16:04.615 --> 00:16:05.215
I\'m waiting.

00:16:05.215 --> 00:16:06.048
Too.

00:16:10.925 --> 00:16:13.075
Three years and six trips later,

00:16:14.855 --> 00:16:16.915
all three kids were
still living on the farm.

00:16:19.955 --> 00:16:23.075
I thought once I were on that
path, my work would be done,

00:16:24.015 --> 00:16:27.355
but I never seemed to find the right
moment to say goodbye for. Good.

00:16:36.175 --> 00:16:40.915
Hi. Nice. Hi, buddy.

00:16:41.295 --> 00:16:45.115
Hi. What.

00:16:52.795 --> 00:16:57.075
A filmmaker at heart. I wanted the
teen story to be seen and heard

00:16:59.335 --> 00:17:00.795
the story about second chances.

00:17:03.785 --> 00:17:06.475
What did my camera give me
permission to keep coming back.

00:17:09.055 --> 00:17:12.555
Either way, I had to acknowledge
my presence in the story,

00:17:12.895 --> 00:17:17.115
so I hired a fellow cinematographer and
joined the teens in front of the lens.

00:17:32.575 --> 00:17:34.075
We had developed our routine.

00:17:35.175 --> 00:17:38.795
I\'d visit for a couple of days in the
countryside and then we would go to the

00:17:38.795 --> 00:17:41.555
city to have access to
stores and services.

00:17:44.575 --> 00:17:46.035
We stayed in a short term rental,

00:17:46.175 --> 00:17:50.485
and I stumbled my way through trying
to create something that resembles a

00:17:50.485 --> 00:17:51.275
healthy family.

00:17:51.275 --> 00:17:52.108
Life.

00:18:18.475 --> 00:18:19.308
Nice.

00:18:23.505 --> 00:18:28.485
Oh, oh, this is fucks I know.

00:18:46.955 --> 00:18:47.788
Come in.

00:18:51.505 --> 00:18:52.338
Let me get you.

00:18:52.965 --> 00:18:54.565
I like female. This style over.

00:18:54.565 --> 00:18:57.085
There. You like this style over
here? Yeah. That\'s so funny.

00:18:57.085 --> 00:19:00.845
Every time you two me, that\'s the first
thing you like. Do I like it this time?

00:19:07.425 --> 00:19:09.885
You like to live in the country.
Do you want to stay in the country?

00:19:12.765 --> 00:19:13.425
I like.

00:19:13.425 --> 00:19:14.258
You like

00:19:19.955 --> 00:19:20.788
your cow babies.

00:19:26.165 --> 00:19:28.795
Yeah. Benny,

00:19:28.795 --> 00:19:32.555
you like to be in the country and work
with the animals and be with Bimba.

00:19:32.555 --> 00:19:33.388
Correct?

00:20:10.655 --> 00:20:11.488
Really?

00:20:11.985 --> 00:20:16.715
They can\'t tell what actually
the plan for them is, right.

00:20:16.715 --> 00:20:21.075
Because they can\'t make a,
but here\'s what I think.

00:20:21.965 --> 00:20:23.555
Bimba is very successful, right?

00:20:24.095 --> 00:20:28.195
He tries out different things that
other people have not done before.

00:20:44.585 --> 00:20:47.845
I think you\'re right. There
was no way he could have

00:20:49.475 --> 00:20:52.595
expanded that much if you
would\'ve not been there. You too.

00:20:54.585 --> 00:20:55.418
Obviously,

00:20:55.675 --> 00:21:00.115
I do not want you guys to have the
feeling that you have that you\'re stuck

00:21:00.115 --> 00:21:00.995
whether you\'re in a prison.

00:21:03.535 --> 00:21:07.835
But most of time it\'s
like We are I priest.

00:21:08.665 --> 00:21:09.498
I didn\'t know that.

00:21:49.895 --> 00:21:51.675
So you\'re unhappy from the beginning.

00:21:54.665 --> 00:21:55.498
Very beginning.

00:22:00.015 --> 00:22:00.848
Yes.

00:22:06.245 --> 00:22:07.078
I didn\'t know

00:22:13.445 --> 00:22:14.278
and you too.

00:22:22.045 --> 00:22:26.785
So eventually we can bed.
Things start to come up.

00:23:28.205 --> 00:23:29.225
You should talk to me.

00:23:29.285 --> 00:23:31.945
You should be open to me and
tell me when you have a problem,

00:23:32.345 --> 00:23:33.745
because then only then I can help you.

00:23:49.165 --> 00:23:50.485
I was so ashamed.

00:23:53.965 --> 00:23:55.165
I had made promises,

00:23:55.765 --> 00:23:59.245
encouraged dreams without
a real follow-up plan.

00:24:00.485 --> 00:24:01.318
I.

00:24:04.245 --> 00:24:07.205
Had seen the kids working.
I had even documented it.

00:24:08.365 --> 00:24:11.165
Assuming there was an exchange
happening, a give and take.

00:24:14.185 --> 00:24:18.805
My lack of understanding
made them vulnerable again
and left them with no one to

00:24:18.805 --> 00:24:19.638
turn to.

00:24:23.785 --> 00:24:24.965
Who did I think I walked?

00:24:26.265 --> 00:24:29.685
Was I really so naive to think I
could save the teens from afar?

00:24:42.635 --> 00:24:44.635
I extended my trip so I could fix things.

00:24:48.235 --> 00:24:52.075
I focused on what I thought
I could control. Education.

00:24:53.905 --> 00:24:54.875
With Lingus help,

00:24:55.135 --> 00:24:59.555
we found a tutoring program that could
teach the teens according to their level

00:24:59.575 --> 00:25:00.408
of education.

00:25:07.055 --> 00:25:08.355
Why not? What\'s.

00:25:08.355 --> 00:25:09.188
The problem?

00:25:14.385 --> 00:25:18.435
Well, I have three kids and I
want to know what the options are.

00:25:33.615 --> 00:25:37.915
He is so eager to work. I cannot
put him into school right now,

00:25:37.975 --> 00:25:41.355
but I want him to know
his options. Moving on to.

00:26:47.655 --> 00:26:50.805
Benny Loved school and had attended
regularly until eighth grade,

00:26:51.505 --> 00:26:53.725
but we couldn\'t find a school
that would accept him. Now.

00:27:03.835 --> 00:27:08.335
You don\'t know what that is.
I bought that for you present.

00:27:16.275 --> 00:27:17.108
Oh,

00:27:25.615 --> 00:27:26.448
because.

00:27:26.455 --> 00:27:30.295
I won\'t be your alarm clerk
anymore. Basca is in charge.

00:27:31.975 --> 00:27:36.295
Surprise, Ash. Job interview. Yeah. Enter,

00:27:40.045 --> 00:27:44.615
yeah. Road construction.

00:27:46.405 --> 00:27:51.055
Road Road Construction.
Oh yeah. Nice. Yeah.

00:27:51.205 --> 00:27:52.055
Very nice. Okay.

00:29:06.195 --> 00:29:07.775
Are you crying? I didn\'t expect.

00:29:09.055 --> 00:29:12.695
Probably he would be. I didn\'t expect it.

00:29:33.245 --> 00:29:34.078
Joan.

00:29:39.765 --> 00:29:40.598
Nice.

00:30:12.145 --> 00:30:14.745
I felt conflicted about asking
the kids to be on camera.

00:30:16.265 --> 00:30:20.265
I wasn\'t sure if they could truly
grasp what it means to be in a film.

00:30:21.435 --> 00:30:24.745
After all, this was my
interpretation of our story.

00:30:30.165 --> 00:30:32.665
We agreed to film
everything without judgment,

00:30:33.325 --> 00:30:36.785
and each of us could switch
the camera off at any time.

00:31:06.095 --> 00:31:09.505
NA\'s only request was not to be
filmed in her dirty work clothes.

00:31:10.815 --> 00:31:14.385
That guy didn\'t want to be filmed on the
streets. He didn\'t like the attention.

00:31:15.875 --> 00:31:17.585
Benny was cool with all of it.

00:31:23.165 --> 00:31:26.225
We did find a boarding school.
Benny could start in a few months.

00:31:28.645 --> 00:31:30.305
For now, he had to return to the farm.

00:31:32.765 --> 00:31:35.825
It was either this or the
Children\'s Center. Again.

00:31:38.945 --> 00:31:42.385
Whenever we overcome one obstacle,
another one reveals itself.

00:32:20.095 --> 00:32:21.945
This now come back. This

00:32:41.995 --> 00:32:44.485
glasses. His fingers.

00:32:46.995 --> 00:32:51.965
They reckon this GoTo.
Huh? They reckon. Day,

00:32:52.425 --> 00:32:56.445
day, week, day, week. Oh,
weekend weeks. Yeah. Weekend,

00:32:57.755 --> 00:33:01.285
GoTo, Friday,

00:33:02.925 --> 00:33:07.365
Saturday. Wait, really? Both said yes.

00:33:08.035 --> 00:33:11.405
Both. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

00:33:16.155 --> 00:33:18.885
Finally, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

00:33:19.995 --> 00:33:24.125
ASCA would start his new
job in the countryside and
NASA would stay in the city

00:33:24.355 --> 00:33:28.725
with some relatives of Europe so she
could continue the tutoring program.

00:33:33.005 --> 00:33:35.525
Everyone was concerned NASA
would get lost in the city.

00:33:35.995 --> 00:33:36.828
Yeah.

00:33:37.205 --> 00:33:38.365
I was sure she could do it.

00:33:40.265 --> 00:33:43.525
Bye bye. Na. Give me a hug.

00:33:45.465 --> 00:33:46.298
Bye.

00:34:13.605 --> 00:34:14.438
In.

00:35:01.565 --> 00:35:05.425
As promised, I returned in the fall
for the start of the new school year.

00:35:09.655 --> 00:35:10.505
Unfortunately,

00:35:11.085 --> 00:35:15.905
NAS got into trouble soon after
I left because she couldn\'t say

00:35:16.005 --> 00:35:16.838
no.

00:35:28.775 --> 00:35:30.225
What happened there? Why did it.

00:35:30.225 --> 00:35:31.225
Take us so long to get home?

00:35:32.855 --> 00:35:34.705
Some child, just that bill.

00:36:13.015 --> 00:36:14.985
When didn\'t come home that night,

00:36:15.875 --> 00:36:20.665
IRA\'s relatives got scared and
immediately sent her back to Bimba farm.

00:36:24.245 --> 00:36:25.625
If you belong to no one,

00:36:26.905 --> 00:36:31.065
mistakes are punished harshly
and second chances are rare.

00:37:09.035 --> 00:37:11.585
After 17 hour bus South,

00:37:12.315 --> 00:37:14.385
penny is finally getting his wish.

00:38:04.865 --> 00:38:05.698
I.

00:38:40.865 --> 00:38:45.385
To sleep on the bottom. What? He
wants to sleep on the bottom? Yep.

00:38:47.685 --> 00:38:47.905
So.

00:38:47.905 --> 00:38:48.738
It won. Sinks down.

00:39:09.395 --> 00:39:11.375
To see Basca. I went back to the city,

00:39:14.035 --> 00:39:18.175
our new normal. Wherever he gets a job,

00:39:19.095 --> 00:39:19.928
I go.

00:40:09.535 --> 00:40:10.368
I would go.

00:41:16.665 --> 00:41:19.275
Despite the betrayal,
Pesca didn\'t give up.

00:41:19.895 --> 00:41:24.875
He was resourceful and found a new
job, this job that would cheat him.

00:41:24.895 --> 00:41:28.995
Yet again, I had told them,

00:41:29.635 --> 00:41:32.115
anything is possible if
you follow your dreams.

00:41:33.465 --> 00:41:35.355
Clearly that was not his reality.

00:41:39.755 --> 00:41:43.315
I thought I understood the kids\'
needs, at least around the edges,

00:41:44.175 --> 00:41:46.595
but all I know is what I see when I visit,

00:41:47.005 --> 00:41:49.555
which is not their normal everyday life.

00:41:53.915 --> 00:41:57.155
I never wanted kids. I was
always sure about that.

00:41:59.035 --> 00:42:01.315
I couldn\'t imagine someone
else relying on me.

00:42:03.995 --> 00:42:08.355
I had grown up without any
guidance or role models. At 16,

00:42:08.715 --> 00:42:11.835
I rebelled. I left home,
dropped out of school,

00:42:11.975 --> 00:42:13.955
and ended up homeless for several months.

00:42:15.415 --> 00:42:20.195
It was my passion for filmmaking that
enabled me to slowly build a life for

00:42:20.215 --> 00:42:21.048
myself.

00:42:26.735 --> 00:42:30.675
We had no idea what to
do next to Recharge.

00:42:31.085 --> 00:42:33.835
Vasca and I visited Penny
at his school in Goby,

00:42:35.595 --> 00:42:37.635
a winter Wonderland mini vacation.

00:42:44.035 --> 00:42:48.115
I figured the one thing I could do
was to nurture the boys\' relationship.

00:42:49.545 --> 00:42:53.435
Even if the adults failed them,
they could rely on each other.

00:43:46.515 --> 00:43:51.155
I don\'t like budha. You
don\'t like Budha? Why not?

00:43:54.655 --> 00:43:56.115
You don\'t like religion?

00:43:59.325 --> 00:44:03.705
My God is this men, man.

00:44:04.055 --> 00:44:08.025
This is one man. This is two men.

00:44:08.805 --> 00:44:12.465
One dog is two dog, one cat is two cat.

00:44:13.295 --> 00:44:17.665
This is water is not right. Yeah, right.

00:44:18.255 --> 00:44:19.088
This is

00:44:23.565 --> 00:44:26.065
one days. This life is very bad.

00:44:27.405 --> 00:44:30.185
One to bad, bad, bad, bad.

00:44:31.985 --> 00:44:32.818
No more present.

00:44:38.535 --> 00:44:39.368
No. Yes,

00:44:48.575 --> 00:44:53.025
babe. Now good.

00:44:53.445 --> 00:44:57.665
Now. Good. It\'s this
penny. It\'s this penny.

00:45:03.365 --> 00:45:04.385
Ah, baby.

00:45:14.645 --> 00:45:18.305
How was school? How was school?

00:45:19.125 --> 00:45:22.985
How school was good. Yeah.

00:45:25.095 --> 00:45:28.505
Yeah. Very nice.

00:45:46.695 --> 00:45:47.528
Okay.

00:45:48.525 --> 00:45:49.505
But like this here?

00:45:49.855 --> 00:45:50.688
Yeah.

00:45:51.265 --> 00:45:53.425
I Before filmmaker.

00:45:54.415 --> 00:45:55.248
Yeah.

00:45:55.545 --> 00:45:56.378
I Taylor.

00:45:58.445 --> 00:46:03.145
Taylor. This is

00:46:05.185 --> 00:46:06.018
I am.

00:47:44.615 --> 00:47:49.205
Thank you very much.
You have something? No.

00:47:49.635 --> 00:47:53.725
Nice, nice, nice here.

00:47:54.995 --> 00:47:56.405
Very nice. Very nice.

00:47:58.245 --> 00:47:59.525
Suddenly, BASCA was inspired.

00:48:00.345 --> 00:48:04.165
He wanted to attend a course for
excavator operators in the city.

00:48:05.425 --> 00:48:07.165
In order to make it back on time.

00:48:07.625 --> 00:48:12.085
We skipped the 17 hour bus ride
and embarked on Bacas first flight.

00:48:15.755 --> 00:48:20.045
What? Very nice teacher.
Very nice teacher. You, me,

00:48:20.615 --> 00:48:22.165
thank you. Life is,

00:48:24.765 --> 00:48:25.765
I know life.

00:48:43.115 --> 00:48:45.955
I love you. Mongolia.
Mongolia. I love you. Mongolia.

00:49:57.035 --> 00:49:58.975
He needs to be very dedicated. I\'m really.

00:49:58.975 --> 00:49:59.535
Not going about.

00:49:59.535 --> 00:50:01.415
That. Not giving up enough. Just.

00:50:07.355 --> 00:50:08.535
I\'m pretty sure he will be.

00:50:08.535 --> 00:50:09.368
Fine.

00:50:25.595 --> 00:50:29.365
Right now, I think the next couple
years are really not about making money,

00:50:29.505 --> 00:50:33.685
but about getting experience
and climbing up the ladder,

00:50:37.505 --> 00:50:38.885
and that\'s what I keep saying.

00:50:38.945 --> 00:50:42.805
You have to find the people you
trust and that the people who know,

00:50:43.465 --> 00:50:44.365
and then you have to ask.

00:50:46.685 --> 00:50:47.965
I am also a mag. Same.

00:50:48.225 --> 00:50:51.845
If you don\'t have anybody who teach that
to you. None of us knows how to do it.

00:50:52.485 --> 00:50:54.165
I think you and I found out the hard way.

00:50:55.455 --> 00:50:59.725
Let\'s try to make it a little easier
for him. You think it\'s good to do?

00:50:59.845 --> 00:51:01.245
I think it\'s better to both close.

00:51:46.215 --> 00:51:47.155
How was your day? So.

00:51:47.985 --> 00:51:48.818
It\'s very busy.

00:51:56.575 --> 00:51:57.155
She grew up.

00:51:57.155 --> 00:51:58.275
Huh? Yeah. Grew up. Yeah.

00:52:39.705 --> 00:52:40.538
What?

00:52:44.385 --> 00:52:45.515
Sure. It\'s the same situation.

00:52:48.335 --> 00:52:52.195
You guys have to get used to the
idea of bank. Why are you laughing?

00:52:55.615 --> 00:52:58.955
You guys have to get used
to the idea of bank account.

00:52:59.925 --> 00:53:02.755
Going there regularly, checking
it and checking your numbers.

00:53:03.015 --> 00:53:03.995
You need to know your numbers.

00:53:04.375 --> 00:53:08.635
Do you know or do we understand why
it\'s good to read and write and learn

00:53:08.635 --> 00:53:09.835
numbers? Yeah.

00:53:10.375 --> 00:53:12.795
Yes. Okay.

00:53:22.975 --> 00:53:23.995
She said that. How about.

00:53:24.705 --> 00:53:25.538
Make a saving?

00:53:32.115 --> 00:53:34.245
That was the next step
I wanted to talk about.

00:53:38.785 --> 00:53:39.618
All the sudden.

00:53:41.395 --> 00:53:45.045
What happened to nasa? She
grew up. I\'m very impressed.

00:54:00.225 --> 00:54:01.058
Of course.

00:54:01.595 --> 00:54:02.845
What kind of job do you want?

00:54:15.725 --> 00:54:17.885
I never imagined getting in this deep,

00:54:19.025 --> 00:54:22.445
but without proper documents,
the kids don\'t even exist.

00:54:26.665 --> 00:54:29.165
And since I couldn\'t
manage to learn Mongolian,

00:54:30.465 --> 00:54:35.245
all I could do was put things in motion
and then ask for help to actually get it

00:54:35.245 --> 00:54:36.078
done.

00:54:39.385 --> 00:54:44.285
It is so easy to fall through the cracks
when no one in particular is in charge.

00:54:46.825 --> 00:54:47.805
I\'m really exhausted.

00:54:48.585 --> 00:54:53.445
So I spent the morning in some
offices that I have no idea

00:54:53.445 --> 00:54:56.245
what they were trying to get. The papers.

00:54:57.925 --> 00:55:01.605
Papers for the kids and the money
that they\'re owed by the government,

00:55:02.745 --> 00:55:05.325
and again, they never got it
because nobody ever applied.

00:55:07.425 --> 00:55:12.325
So in this time, I put my foot
down and we applied it. Well,

00:55:12.495 --> 00:55:15.845
we\'re getting the papers in order.
She doesn\'t even have an IT card.

00:55:21.865 --> 00:55:24.405
I\'m not the best in
asking others for help.

00:55:26.505 --> 00:55:30.805
I\'m begging the adult and I\'m banging
with the kids and then I have to beg the

00:55:30.805 --> 00:55:32.565
adults again and then they do it,

00:55:32.565 --> 00:55:36.725
but they do it their ways and
I\'m getting started. Nassar,

00:55:36.725 --> 00:55:41.045
can you open the door?
Yeah. Thank you. Yes.

00:55:42.275 --> 00:55:45.365
Open. You don\'t want to

00:55:47.665 --> 00:55:48.725
Let me guess who this is.

00:55:53.205 --> 00:55:54.038
I,

00:55:57.585 --> 00:55:58.418
what\'s the matter?

00:56:00.755 --> 00:56:02.228
What happened?

00:56:02.385 --> 00:56:04.325
School is finished today.

00:56:04.945 --> 00:56:09.365
School is finished
today? Yeah. Just today.

00:56:10.355 --> 00:56:11.188
Just.

00:56:11.455 --> 00:56:13.485
Today. Short? Yeah.

00:56:21.155 --> 00:56:21.988
This is.

00:56:25.545 --> 00:56:26.378
Oh three.

00:56:26.755 --> 00:56:27.588
Yeah.

00:56:27.675 --> 00:56:28.445
Next three.

00:56:28.445 --> 00:56:33.405
Link. Next. Oh, so you go
back at three. It\'s two.

00:56:33.985 --> 00:56:34.818
No.

00:56:35.065 --> 00:56:36.005
Not today. Yeah.

00:56:36.055 --> 00:56:36.888
Today finish.

00:56:37.465 --> 00:56:39.805
No, I can deal with this.

00:56:48.565 --> 00:56:50.085
I don\'t know what\'s going
on with that damn class.

00:57:34.465 --> 00:57:35.298
Don\'t forget school.

00:58:50.105 --> 00:58:53.385
I was so happy when NASA
finally expressed her wishes.

00:58:54.185 --> 00:58:57.345
I jumped into action and hired
a homeschool teacher for her.

00:59:39.035 --> 00:59:39.868
Okay.

00:59:52.625 --> 00:59:56.725
Oh, like mother. Okay. And mother who

01:00:10.305 --> 01:00:11.885
you remember? Yeah. You remember?

01:01:21.745 --> 01:01:24.645
How was school? Fine. Fine.

01:01:40.175 --> 01:01:43.325
Let\'s go. Can you switch that off?

01:01:48.105 --> 01:01:49.285
You sure? You were at school today?

01:01:50.415 --> 01:01:51.248
Today.

01:01:52.065 --> 01:01:52.898
Or yesterday?

01:01:54.105 --> 01:01:54.825
Yes.

01:01:54.825 --> 01:01:56.085
Or the day before yesterday.

01:01:57.155 --> 01:01:58.245
Yesterday. Today.

01:02:00.385 --> 01:02:01.218
Or Monday.

01:02:04.265 --> 01:02:05.165
Monday, yeah.

01:02:06.785 --> 01:02:08.085
You don\'t want to go to school.

01:02:11.305 --> 01:02:12.138
You don\'t like it.

01:02:17.245 --> 01:02:19.445
You like it, but then
why are you not going.

01:02:22.775 --> 01:02:23.608
Work?

01:02:24.125 --> 01:02:24.958
You are working.

01:02:40.265 --> 01:02:41.098
What are you working?

01:02:59.395 --> 01:03:02.195
Construction. Oh, painting.

01:03:15.865 --> 01:03:16.698
This is.

01:03:24.785 --> 01:03:26.395
Come here. I want to show you something.

01:03:29.855 --> 01:03:30.305
Lie.

01:03:30.305 --> 01:03:32.475
Yeah. Don\'t lie to me.

01:03:36.875 --> 01:03:38.155
I can take the truth.

01:03:43.535 --> 01:03:46.995
If you tell me the
truth and it\'s bad news,

01:03:48.355 --> 01:03:50.755
I can take it. I can\'t take lies.

01:03:54.275 --> 01:03:56.875
I am very hurt.

01:03:57.425 --> 01:03:59.435
Hurt when you lie.

01:04:01.025 --> 01:04:04.875
Even if the truth is bad, it\'s okay.

01:04:07.895 --> 01:04:08.795
I\'m not going to walk away.

01:04:13.135 --> 01:04:15.875
You understand that? Yeah.

01:04:29.545 --> 01:04:30.605
Can you switch the camera off?

01:05:00.005 --> 01:05:03.565
I know Basque is a good
kid and like all teenagers,

01:05:03.995 --> 01:05:05.525
sometimes mystifying

01:05:08.505 --> 01:05:09.965
in a moment of conflict.

01:05:10.865 --> 01:05:15.565
How can he trust that I won\'t walk
away if he expresses himself freely

01:05:16.155 --> 01:05:17.285
contradicts me. Even

01:05:19.725 --> 01:05:24.365
I say I will not leave
when in fact I am leaving

01:05:24.785 --> 01:05:25.618
all the time.

01:05:29.585 --> 01:05:31.465
I know how it feels to be left behind.

01:05:32.845 --> 01:05:37.545
My one memory of my dad is
him leaving disappearing

01:05:37.545 --> 01:05:38.985
slowly into the distance.

01:05:42.995 --> 01:05:47.425
Maybe that\'s why I only attach myself
to people halfway across the world,

01:05:48.685 --> 01:05:50.025
so I can\'t be left behind.

01:05:52.925 --> 01:05:57.545
If I want Basca to trust me, I have to
stop trying to fix things and listen.

01:05:59.045 --> 01:06:00.105
Be in his corner.

01:06:16.205 --> 01:06:19.545
Hi. Oh, hi. No. I.

01:06:19.545 --> 01:06:22.385
Just wanted to check. Did
you actually talk to Benny.

01:06:26.725 --> 01:06:29.505
In the summer of 2012? Our fourth year,

01:06:29.865 --> 01:06:31.945
I went to Mongolia four or five times.

01:06:33.405 --> 01:06:38.185
My friends thought I lost it. When in
fact I started to feel, I found something.

01:06:45.845 --> 01:06:50.505
Things just kept happening,
and I surrender to the
chaos following the teens,

01:06:50.945 --> 01:06:53.985
wherever they had to go
physically and emotionally.

01:07:07.255 --> 01:07:11.705
When you didn\'t know I\'m coming. Surprise.

01:07:19.425 --> 01:07:20.258
And then here.

01:07:21.495 --> 01:07:22.328
Check.

01:07:26.865 --> 01:07:28.285
You got to work the focus here.

01:07:34.555 --> 01:07:35.388
Yeah.

01:07:52.435 --> 01:07:53.445
Nope. Picture.

01:07:58.235 --> 01:08:00.765
Yeah. Look at that. Not shy at all.

01:08:48.805 --> 01:08:51.065
In the process of applying
for the teen\'s IDs,

01:08:51.705 --> 01:08:55.665
a clerk recognized the picture of
Benny\'s mother, an old neighbor,

01:08:57.275 --> 01:09:01.635
a crazy coincidence and hopefully
a second chance for Benny.

01:09:33.885 --> 01:09:38.785
Are you talking about, do you remember
how was looking She and then how was she?

01:09:39.405 --> 01:09:43.265
You said Not so well,
but sometimes I remember

01:09:57.845 --> 01:10:02.665
you all. We must respect
all moms. Mom. Don\'t help.

01:10:03.015 --> 01:10:07.885
Then you are not in the world. Just.

01:11:31.195 --> 01:11:34.675
I met my dad for the
first time when I was 26

01:11:37.575 --> 01:11:42.075
and until I met him. I was pretty
mad the whole time about him,

01:11:43.895 --> 01:11:44.915
but then when I met him,

01:11:45.195 --> 01:11:49.755
I realized that one of the main reasons
why he never came looking for me was

01:11:49.785 --> 01:11:51.195
because he felt guilty.

01:11:54.435 --> 01:11:57.915
I always thought the reason why he left
me was because he didn\'t like me or

01:11:57.915 --> 01:12:01.595
because I did something wrong. But it
turns out it had nothing to do with me.

01:12:02.135 --> 01:12:06.565
It only had to do with what
was going on in his life,

01:12:22.585 --> 01:12:24.085
and even if you meet her,

01:12:24.085 --> 01:12:27.685
it doesn\'t mean that you will
have a close relationship.

01:12:31.705 --> 01:12:33.285
You just see where you\'re coming from.

01:12:46.475 --> 01:12:51.225
After I located my dad, I visited
him in his hometown, Aleppo.

01:12:52.525 --> 01:12:54.665
We had the same curiosity and humor,

01:12:55.685 --> 01:13:00.425
but he only saw the 2-year-old child.
He left behind, not who I was today.

01:13:02.015 --> 01:13:05.705
When he didn\'t tell his five
children, my siblings, who I was,

01:13:07.505 --> 01:13:10.145
I was so disappointed. I walked away.

01:13:16.375 --> 01:13:17.208
Naza.

01:13:33.445 --> 01:13:36.785
Hmm? Jar

01:13:41.145 --> 01:13:41.978
who?

01:14:01.625 --> 01:14:02.458
Bi.

01:14:17.265 --> 01:14:22.205
Two different. Wow.

01:14:24.275 --> 01:14:26.205
This is very beautiful. The painting.

01:14:33.945 --> 01:14:34.778
Wow.

01:14:39.835 --> 01:14:43.005
Very nice. Very good.

01:15:07.385 --> 01:15:11.525
We just need to make sure
that her mentality is stable.

01:15:33.185 --> 01:15:37.245
We just need to make sure that her
brain is normal. For an 18-year-old,

01:15:37.635 --> 01:15:41.725
it\'s not normal because people, we,

01:15:45.265 --> 01:15:45.485
but.

01:15:45.485 --> 01:15:46.315
That\'s connected.

01:15:46.315 --> 01:15:50.765
Development of a child is connected to
how the child is treated in her early

01:15:50.765 --> 01:15:54.525
years. If she is left alone,
nobody did anything with her.

01:15:54.865 --> 01:15:56.005
Of course she\'s behind.

01:15:57.745 --> 01:15:57.965
But.

01:15:57.965 --> 01:15:58.325
Look at her,

01:15:58.325 --> 01:16:00.885
how she developed in the last two
years when people were actually taking.

01:16:02.225 --> 01:16:06.725
Me problem with us. Why we
are on time, not checking,

01:16:07.105 --> 01:16:09.405
not showing the doctor,
then getting me a problem.

01:16:13.415 --> 01:16:16.135
I didn\'t have the authority to
protect her from this madness.

01:16:16.445 --> 01:16:21.095
Literally shouldn\'t be up to NASA to
prove how badly adults have failed her.

01:16:23.965 --> 01:16:28.455
This evaluation will only reinforce
NASA\'s trauma, not show her progress.

01:17:07.115 --> 01:17:07.948
I\'m not sure.

01:17:45.715 --> 01:17:50.655
One. Cow. Cow. You,

01:17:50.995 --> 01:17:54.175
you. No, no, no. You

01:17:57.275 --> 01:17:58.108
mu.

01:18:02.355 --> 01:18:03.188
No.

01:18:11.875 --> 01:18:15.375
You three. Yes. Next.

01:18:16.045 --> 01:18:19.335
Here you five. Five.

01:18:29.925 --> 01:18:33.095
Okay. Now, nice.

01:18:33.795 --> 01:18:36.135
And government money. Yeah.

01:18:44.155 --> 01:18:48.015
Yes. Soon. Soon.

01:18:48.015 --> 01:18:51.415
You have 10 15. Yeah. Wow.

01:18:54.635 --> 01:18:59.415
That\'s a lot of milking, huh? Yeah. What?

01:19:01.155 --> 01:19:03.215
Two, three.

01:19:09.275 --> 01:19:10.108
You are a rich woman.

01:19:36.075 --> 01:19:37.005
What is he saying about

01:19:55.645 --> 01:20:00.315
maybe they want to just stroll
around by themselves a little bit.

01:20:01.465 --> 01:20:05.755
Yeah. You and me. You and me. Okay.
We can go out and they can stay. Okay.

01:20:06.775 --> 01:20:07.608
How.

01:21:53.805 --> 01:21:54.638
You want to.

01:24:37.505 --> 01:24:38.338
Hi.

01:25:28.515 --> 01:25:31.895
School. Look out the window.
Yeah. It\'s very nice. Very nice.

01:26:03.705 --> 01:26:07.565
You want I go back to New York. Go work.

01:26:08.685 --> 01:26:09.518
I.

01:26:14.975 --> 01:26:15.808
Watch out winter.

01:26:19.275 --> 01:26:23.925
This is good winter. Yeah. No,

01:26:23.955 --> 01:26:27.965
near good. Near good.
Good. New school. School.

01:26:27.965 --> 01:26:32.245
Finish school. School finish. Okay.

01:26:44.475 --> 01:26:46.325
Vasquez seems content with this job.

01:26:47.265 --> 01:26:51.845
He gets to work in the countryside where
housing is provided and he can be with

01:26:51.845 --> 01:26:55.125
his friends, his tribe,
who can give him what?

01:26:55.245 --> 01:26:57.205
I can\'t consistency,

01:27:01.705 --> 01:27:04.645
but suddenly his accomplishments
aren\'t good enough for me.

01:27:06.045 --> 01:27:09.565
I want him to have a secure
job with prospects for growth.

01:27:11.865 --> 01:27:16.645
Am I really worried about his
success or am I afraid that not being

01:27:16.845 --> 01:27:18.525
needed makes me obsolete?

01:27:21.465 --> 01:27:25.645
In my panic of losing him
a feeling, I cannot admit.

01:27:26.645 --> 01:27:28.085
I try to hold basca tighter.

01:27:29.465 --> 01:27:31.845
The depths of my own
neediness embarrasses me,

01:27:31.865 --> 01:27:36.725
so I hide behind fixing things
as if fixing is a glue or

01:27:36.725 --> 01:27:41.235
rubber band that brings him
back once he ventures too far.

01:28:55.855 --> 01:28:56.688
Baba.

01:28:57.085 --> 01:28:58.465
Oh, hi.

01:28:58.885 --> 01:29:00.465
You\'re so surprised that I called.

01:29:01.145 --> 01:29:05.005
Yes. Very nice to your job. Fine.

01:29:06.545 --> 01:29:07.605
My job is good. Yes.

01:29:08.865 --> 01:29:09.698
New job.

01:29:09.865 --> 01:29:12.085
Always. New job every time. New job.

01:29:12.945 --> 01:29:13.778
Yes.

01:29:14.035 --> 01:29:17.285
When I come, you be you. Job Thursday.

01:29:17.735 --> 01:29:18.568
Maybe.

01:29:29.965 --> 01:29:34.855
Someone know, oh, honey,

01:29:36.395 --> 01:29:38.535
that\'s bad. What happened?

01:29:41.445 --> 01:29:45.215
Okay, tea. Yeah. Mid
tea. Yeah. Okay. Come in.

01:29:46.475 --> 01:29:47.655
You are going. Show me your room.

01:29:50.395 --> 01:29:51.228
You.

01:29:51.565 --> 01:29:52.575
Show me your room.

01:29:55.065 --> 01:29:55.898
Today.

01:29:55.955 --> 01:29:59.935
Or tomorrow or Oh yeah. You
stay here, eh? Today. Yeah.

01:30:22.415 --> 01:30:24.335
I go, you wait.

01:30:27.365 --> 01:30:29.535
Very cold, very long road.

01:30:30.355 --> 01:30:31.375
You don\'t want me to come.

01:30:34.915 --> 01:30:38.215
You like me, come or you like me. Stay.

01:30:39.695 --> 01:30:44.375
I like you go. Yeah. Long road,

01:30:44.725 --> 01:30:47.335
long road bus called

01:30:49.285 --> 01:30:50.335
Long Road Jail.

01:30:51.235 --> 01:30:52.255
But okay.

01:30:53.275 --> 01:30:54.108
You tired?

01:30:56.765 --> 01:30:58.455
Okay. You go. I stay.

01:31:22.245 --> 01:31:26.795
Being in a family is by itself is
teaching. Right. For example\'s,

01:31:26.795 --> 01:31:27.275
that\'s how.

01:31:27.275 --> 01:31:27.845
You learn.

01:31:27.845 --> 01:31:31.355
Bring that black one,
right? That red one, right.

01:31:31.355 --> 01:31:33.835
That\'s why NASA didn\'t know. Still,

01:31:33.975 --> 01:31:37.395
she doesn\'t not distinguish that
color because nobody told her.

01:31:37.965 --> 01:31:39.635
Bring that red one for her.

01:31:39.735 --> 01:31:40.595
It is all a big effort.

01:31:41.055 --> 01:31:45.435
She has to learn everything as
if she\'s in school, right? Yes.

01:31:45.805 --> 01:31:46.638
Right.

01:31:46.945 --> 01:31:51.555
It\'s a family teaching by how
we are acting in the family.

01:31:52.255 --> 01:31:55.795
But my parents separated.
I was one and my mother,

01:31:56.975 --> 01:32:01.605
her idea of dealing with me was to put
me in a playpen when she went to work,

01:32:02.065 --> 01:32:04.805
so that was from eight to six.

01:32:05.425 --> 01:32:08.085
She would put me in a playpen
and then close the curtains,

01:32:08.115 --> 01:32:11.365
because at the time I think people
thought children are stupid,

01:32:12.105 --> 01:32:15.565
so that I would think it\'s
night and go to sleep.

01:32:19.225 --> 01:32:19.805
She thought that.

01:32:19.805 --> 01:32:20.645
Way. I did not.

01:32:21.625 --> 01:32:22.458
Of course.

01:32:22.785 --> 01:32:27.245
But that went on for a year and
a half, so from one to three,

01:32:27.395 --> 01:32:30.925
there\'s such a kinship between Basco
and me. I still understand him,

01:32:30.925 --> 01:32:34.405
which made it so easy to always forgive
him no matter how much he screwed up.

01:32:35.175 --> 01:32:39.325
Every time I was thinking, oh, just
give up. Just give up. Just give up. Oh,

01:32:39.325 --> 01:32:44.125
okay. Now she give up.
Keep coming. Keep doing.

01:32:45.475 --> 01:32:49.405
That means, oh, don\'t cry. I
couldn\'t do that. I couldn\'t.

01:32:50.355 --> 01:32:52.645
Well, but I also could have
never done anything without you.

01:33:13.405 --> 01:33:16.025
At first, I thought
love is all they needed,

01:33:17.375 --> 01:33:20.035
but love without commitment is impossible.

01:33:21.425 --> 01:33:26.395
Love and flows commitment
making room for them in

01:33:26.415 --> 01:33:28.595
my life that holds it together.

01:33:30.115 --> 01:33:30.948
I.

01:33:35.855 --> 01:33:39.755
Hi, Bamba. Hi. Do you want
to come to Bangladesh?

01:33:40.945 --> 01:33:41.545
Yeah.

01:33:41.545 --> 01:33:43.275
It\'s not vacation. It\'s work, right?

01:33:44.545 --> 01:33:47.755
Yeah. Wants,

01:33:48.415 --> 01:33:52.595
can I have stand in please? Why that?

01:33:56.585 --> 01:33:58.035
Beautiful. Thank you.

01:34:16.775 --> 01:34:19.995
Wow. Bummer. Good operating. Look at that.

01:34:44.265 --> 01:34:44.755
Dancing.

01:34:44.755 --> 01:34:48.955
Snake. Dancing snake. This
is sleep snack. Sleepy snake,

01:34:49.555 --> 01:34:54.275
I believe. Ugly snake. Ugly snake.
Ugly snake. This double snake.

01:34:54.945 --> 01:34:56.995
What? Snake. Double. Double.

01:34:57.175 --> 01:34:58.008
Snake.

01:35:02.465 --> 01:35:03.445
You don\'t want to go back.

01:35:05.145 --> 01:35:05.945
Excuse me.

01:35:05.945 --> 01:35:07.605
You don\'t want to go back to you B.

01:35:11.685 --> 01:35:13.285
Hmm. Go back.

01:35:17.785 --> 01:35:18.618
For your friends.

01:35:20.755 --> 01:35:22.525
Yeah. So.

01:35:23.485 --> 01:35:28.365
Good. Sometimes it\'s,

01:35:28.955 --> 01:35:30.565
it\'s hard to finish a movie

01:35:32.555 --> 01:35:36.285
like one week after
movie. Everybody. Very sad

01:35:37.875 --> 01:35:40.365
because movies like family,

01:35:43.905 --> 01:35:48.605
but everybody, for me, it was
five years after every movie.

01:35:48.765 --> 01:35:49.598
I was sad.

01:36:03.465 --> 01:36:07.365
Second chances are not a one-time
thing. It\'s an ongoing process.

01:36:10.225 --> 01:36:12.325
The three of you gave me my second chance.

01:36:13.745 --> 01:36:16.725
My intention was to break
the cycle of trauma for you,

01:36:17.865 --> 01:36:20.685
but in the end you broke it for me.

01:36:22.205 --> 01:36:24.725
Teaching me to embrace the
messiness of belonging.

01:36:27.665 --> 01:36:31.435
When I look at you, I see
the beautiful forever.

01:37:02.455 --> 01:37:05.795
That\'s why you have to make a wish. You.

01:37:05.795 --> 01:37:06.755
Have to blow them out.

01:38:43.595 --> 01:38:47.565
Penny\'s mom called once a month,
but she never called Penny directly.

01:38:48.915 --> 01:38:51.605
When her husband got
sick, she stopped calling.

01:40:58.035 --> 01:41:01.565
asca had a new job building a
fancy resort in the Goby desert.

01:41:04.705 --> 01:41:08.245
He invited Benny and me to
visit him while he worked.

01:41:08.815 --> 01:41:11.725
Benny and I could relax a mini vacation.

01:41:14.115 --> 01:41:18.765
Come on, go there. Where\'s Benny?

01:41:22.665 --> 01:41:25.845
Oh, there you are. You always behind me.

01:41:27.025 --> 01:41:31.805
You and Ben. Go to I go to
stop. Please, Christian.

01:41:41.425 --> 01:41:44.925
It was the first time I came to
Mongolia without being in charge.

01:41:45.335 --> 01:41:49.405
Since Paska insisted he would
take care of both of us.

01:42:33.305 --> 01:42:36.805
You eat? Oh, this is very nice.

01:42:43.135 --> 01:42:45.845
Thank you, Bosca. It\'s fine.

01:43:05.205 --> 01:43:06.038
I love you.

01:43:29.425 --> 01:43:34.045
My journey with the kids changed
my perception of family opening

01:43:34.135 --> 01:43:36.085
doors. I had previously kept closed

01:43:37.995 --> 01:43:42.285
when the war in Syria broke out. I
began searching for my five siblings,

01:43:42.545 --> 01:43:46.645
but had no luck. In 2020,

01:43:47.365 --> 01:43:52.125
I did a DNA test and got a match. In 2022,

01:43:53.105 --> 01:43:53.525
Pascal,

01:43:53.525 --> 01:43:57.845
Benny and I traveled to Istanbul to
meet with two of my sisters and their

01:43:58.005 --> 01:44:01.125
children, a partial family reunion.

01:44:03.115 --> 01:44:05.525
Unfortunately, NASSA didn\'t
get her passport in time.

01:44:06.675 --> 01:44:08.205
Next time she will.
