Incredible.

GABRIEL AND THE MOUNTAIN

Chapter one

KENYA

70 days before

Good morning, Gabriel.

Good morning, Alex.

Mzungu!

- Mambo!
- What?

What does "Mzungu" mean?

Mzungu means "the white man".

But I'm Brazilian,
so I'm not a Mzungu.

Even if you are Brazilian,
in Africa

someone of your color
is called a Mzungu.

First of all, Gabriel...

was a man who smiled a lot.

He was a very simple man,

very sociable.

He was doing research
on poverty in Africa.

And he used to eat a lot.

He really ate a lot,

at least three
or four plates of food.

He was very generous
to my family

which is why I decided

to call my son Gabriel.

- Let us pray.
- Oh God,

thank you for this food,

before we eat and bless this soo-dan-tam

in Jesus' name, we pray, amen.

- Amen.

- It is our first time to have
a white visit at this house.

- Ah.

- You, we never, we never
receive any visitor from...

I'm a Brazilian Mzungu,

so it's kind of different.

- Gabriel, can you sing one song for us

from your country?

- Now?
- Yes.

- Okay.

This I like very much.

With drenched clothes
and a shining soul

Every artist must go
where the people live

If it is so, so it will be

When singing, I disguise myself
and I never tire of living

Nor of singing...

- It's nice.
- Thank you.

Rachel.
- Yes?

- Could you sing us a
song for your country?

- Uh, but it's for English.

- Okay.

- Gabriel, those
shoes are very nice,

they're all-season shoe.

You can wear them on a dry
season and even on a wet season.

- Really?
- Can even shower

with the shoes.
- Oh.

- Every Masai man in this village

have put on these shoes,
once in a lifetime.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

How do you feel?

- I feel good.

- Perfect.

- It's comfortable.
- How do you feel in the shoe?

Is it squeezing your feet?

- No.

- You can walk in the shoe?

- Of course.
- Run?

- Sure.
- Lemme see running.

Bring your backpack.

- Faster than the fast.

- Gabriel!

Hey, where is he?

Oyez!

This is my brother friend.

- Pleasure.

- He is a Masai mo-ray.

- Hello, I'm Brian.
- I'm Gabriel.

- From?
- Brazil.

- Brazil.
- Yes.

- I've come to Kenya.

- This
Brian is my older brother.

He has two wife.

- Two?
- Yes,

it's normal in Masai life.

- Even I want to add more, one more.

- Plus.
- Yeah.

- Eight kids.

- Eight kids?
- Yes.

- Having kids
in Masai life's an investment.

- Really?
- Yeah, it's wealth.

It shows how wealthy you are.

So the more kids you have,
the more wealthy you are.

Can you imagine that?

- Yeah, in Brazil's the opposite.

- How many
kids do you have in Brazil?

- No, the more kids you have,

the more money you have to spend to--

- I know
that's enough like that.

Oh.

- Sweet.
- Sweet?

- Yeah, very sweet.

- Very good?
- Very good.

So we use firewood to cook.

This is where you're
going to spend your night.

- Really?
- Yes.

- That is real?
- Yeah.

Now it's hot because of a fire,

but once the fire goes out,
the place will be friendly.

That sucker there.

- I see twice.
- That's twice.

- There's another there.
- It's running.

- There's
another there.

- Let's stop.
- Okay.

- Stop and watch.

Let's stop.

Are you seeing anything?

- Not yet.

- Oh yeah,.

Ah, it's a rabbit!

Okay, just, it's still alive.

Okay, this one, this one,
you're going to slaughter this.

- Me?
- Yes.

Do you have the guts to do this?

If you kill it, I'll give you that sword.

- Excuse me.
- Do you have the guts

to do this?

- I'll give you the sword.

Good!

Yeah,

you already cut it, you are done.

You did it,
you're done, you did it.

This one?

Okay now?
- No.

You see?
- It's dying.

- This one?
- Uh uh, this one.

You put it in your pocket,

and take it to your girlfriend in Brazil.

Yes, put it in there.

Great, if--
- I'm very good

in cooking.

- You are?
- Very.

- Should I get the rabbit?

- Oh, please no.

Just relax here with friend, I make fire.

- I can get it.
- Come on.

- He can get it?
- Come on.

How is it?

Gabriel.
- Hmm?

- I'll watch you eat.

- What?
- I'll watch you eat.

- We don't eat rabbit.

- That's creepy.
- No, no.

- Of course.
- It's, sorry.

We wish we could, but
Masai don't do red meat.

- This, this is white meat.

- This is white meat, we do red meat.

White meat for dogs.

We are sorry; just enjoy it.

- Gabriel.
- Gabriel!

- Gabriel!

- Your name is Gabriel.

- Your name is Gabriel.

- Yes.

- You guys should climb
Kilimanjaro with me.

- Kilimanjaro, no.

- Why?

- We don't have papers
to cross the border.

No passport.
- I've got a passport..

- We'll get passports.

- It's not easy.

- Like the Hell's Gate?

- Yeah, Hell's Gate too.
- Hell's Gate.

- Yeah, but then Kilimanjaro,

you should climb Kilimanjaro with me.

The best time of our lives.

- Oh, I'm done; I was very hungry.

- Ask him for more, ask
him more, more meat.

- No, oh no.

- No, no, no, no no.

- Hey!

Hey!

- I sent him a friend
request, and after two years,

I was like, why Gabriel is not
accepting my friend request?

And I was like, why why why.

I went to his friends, and I
found a lady called Regina.

She actually didn't break the news to me.

I went to the website and
I was like, oh my goodness.

So it was like there are
some specialists from Brazil

and the US who went to
Malawi, look for his body.

Gabriel?

You have proven enough to be a Masai.

All that is missing
now, it's a Masai name.

I'm going to give you a Masai name.

Called da-may-a.

- What does it mean?

- Da-ma-ya mean the most blessed.

You're a blessing to our community.

And as you walk out from our community,

I'll bless you too.

So it's a blessing twice,
coming in and coming out.

Thank you.

- We had a long day.

We need rest.

I wish you could have stayed a bit longer.

- Me too.

- I'll miss you, though, friend.

- Miss you too.
- Good night, brother.

My dearest Mom,
my sweet love and João,

fellow travelers
on this fantastic journey

and my little sister, Nina...

After a week of total immersion
in the heart of Africa

I found a cybercafé in Jinja,
Uganda, at the source of the Nile,

and I'm writing to say
that I'm doing great.

After spending a few days
with my Congolese refugee friend,

in a shanty town in Nairobi,

I ended up, God knows how,
amongst a remote Maasai tribe

with whom I chased after giraffes,
zebras and antelopes

in "roots" fashion.

I dress in colorful printed fabrics,

I carry a stick
and a steel sword.

Since I arrived in Africa,
I've met no other Mzungus.

I travel
as I've always dreamt of doing,

in a non-touristic
and sustainable manner,

spending 2 or 3 dollars a day

and giving 80% of my daily budget

to the locals who feed
and shelter me.

Here, with almost nothing,
you can really impact people's lives.

My Congolese friend, for example...
With 12 dollars,

I paid his rent.

With 40 dollars,

I paid for a year's schooling
for a Ugandan child.

Every day,
I meet fascinating people,

who introduce me to others,

and encounter by encounter
I delve into the soul of Africa.

I could write for hours.

I'm very happy, as everything
is beyond my expectations.

But I'm writing, above all,
to say I'm alive.

- Hey, brother, how are you?

Hey, brother. How are you?

- I'm Tone, from
Mauritius, where are you--

- Le-may-a from Brazil.

- Ah, Le-may-a from Brazil.

Uh, what are you doing in
Mauritius, safari or what?

besides I'm very hungry.

- Oh, ah, you're very hungry.

So what do you wanna eat?

- What do you usually eat?

- Oh.

You, what do you wanna do, safari or what?

- Kilimanjaro.

- Mm, you want Kilimanjaro.

- Fast, cheap.

- Right, the cheap way.

The cheapest way, it's, I know someone

who could, John Goodluck.

He can take you for Kilimanjaro.

- Goodluck?

- Yeah, Goodluck, and he has good luck,

'cause he take many people to the top.

So we need to stop tomorrow, in Mo-she,

so have you need to the Goodluck.

Thank you.

- How about the place to stay?

I know some cheaper guest
house, I can take you.

- Could I sleep in your house?

- Oh, you want to sleep in my house, why?

- Because maybe I'll do safari later

when my girlfriend arrives,

so I'm trying to save some money, so.

- Right, yes, well that is okay.

You can come, just depend,

if it's okay to sleep
at my house, it's okay.

- Great.

- You can pay him.

- How much for meal?

How much?

- Uh, 300.

I like the way you stay,
you travel like a local.

You are different like other tourists.

It's okay, the change.

- 200?
- Yeah, 200.

Thank you very much.

How do I say in Brazil?

Mm-hmm.

- That's my name, Goodluck.

- Oh, your name is really Goodluck.

- Goodluck, good luck,

that's the name for my grandfather.

My grandfather before,
he climbed Kilimanjaro

without the same shoes, Masai
shoes the same like you.

- Nice.
- Yeah, man.

- How many days you can
do the Ma-rang-go route

without waters and without cook?

- Ma-rang-go, you can do,

you can do four nights, five days.

- Is it possible to do it in four days?

- It's possible, but,

enough pay, five days.

- Why?

- Because the government.
- Okay.

- Why not you are very rush?

Because you need a
mountain, you need luck,

you need enjoy it, why not to be rush?

- 'Cause I have some things to do.

Something.
- Yes.

- Next week, I have to
pick up my girlfriend

in Dar es Salaam.

- Ah, next week.
- Yeah.

The shorter we get to the big, better.

- How long you miss?

- How long?

But you eat too slow.

Oh, good.

Sorry, sorry.

How's you say in Brazil?

Okay, let's go.

- Gabriel.

- No, I don't want glass, please.

- No I don't, don't even have.

No, no it's okay, John.

Let's go.

- No no--

- No, I don't like glasses,
I don't want anything.

- Just my eyes.

- Okay, take my stick.

That shows us all
in its very truth

Up I went, up and up

I rose with joy

And when I reached the summit

I found the Virgin Mary

When I reached the summit

I found the Virgin Mary

Up I went, up and up

As I'd been taught to do

Until I found...

Long live the Eternal father
and the divine beings

Long live the Eternal father
and the divine beings

Let's go, John, don't be lazy.

Wait, wait man.

Yo ho!

On the way down,

we met an old Chagga,
from the Marangu region,

like me.

"This man is rich.

Do not judge him
by his poor man's clothes.

Take good care of him,
because later,

this man will change your life."

When I heard his words,

my heart was glad.

Chapter two

TANZANIA

What's this outfit?

You took ages.

I didn't know the hotel's name
and I was last through immigration.

I sent you at least 30 emails!

So what's with the costume?

- It's not a costume.
- Yes, it is!

I missed you.

I have to get this bag off.

You dropped your magic wand.

It's not a magic wand.

Jump!

Everyone's looking at us!

Careful!

Like it?

- Mm-hmm.

The advantage oi dressing like this,
with this sword,

is that it creates empathy.

As if you needed extra empathy.

Which hand?

Both, it looks big.

What is it?

Open it.

A sarong?

What is it?

A necklace!

The Maasai,

for their rite of passage

at the age of 13 or 14,
head out into the savanna

and hunt down a lion.

They encircle the lion,
and the strongest Maasai

grabs it by the tail,

while the others kill it
with their spears.

No kidding.

Yeah, my friend Brian,
Lenny's brother,

grabbed a lion by the tail
when he was 13.

Or 14...

You believe that?

It's true, baby.

What else? Tell me more.

I want to see you...

dressed as a Maasai.

You'll be a Maasai too,

my Mzunga Maasai.

Let me see you for real.

Let me see you as you are,

I've forgotten.

I've not been with anyone
since we parted in India...

I love you.

I missed you so much.

I met Gabriel

at a party I organized
with three friends of mine.

I saw him from behind.

He was talking with a friend.

But I noticed

that they were in deep discussion.

So I gave up
and went to the kitchen.

Later on,
Gabriel came into the kitchen.

Stop.

We began to chat.

He was kind of awkward.

He suggested we go outside,
so I agreed.

And he began...

to recite a poem by Mario Quintana.

We hooked up

that day.

And a month later

he set out to travel the world
for a year.

- We go down?
- No, let's do it.

Quickly.

"asante sana",

"hakuna matata",

"pole pole",

"sawa sawa".

What else?

"Tutu-nana"...

- What does that mean?
- "Bye".

Ah, "kwaheri".

- He thinks that he's a Masai.

Maybe he will hunt some zebras for us.

- Oh!

- For dinner.

- Oh, it's for dinner.

- Gabriel!

- Oh, he's getting really close.

No, he's crazy.

Rashid, is it safe?

- No, it's not safe.

- So.
- Tell him to come back.

- I cannot tell him.

- So far.
- He's too far away.

You have to go, go there, Rashid, please.

- Go there and bring him back.

- Yeah.

- Gabriel!

Gaby!

No!

- So Rashid.

- Yes?

- Are we gonna be able to

see the migration of
the wildebeest, right?

- Now you know, the
migration is a really big,

very, very difficult to get there,

because we need time, we need like

almost like two nights
to be in sare-en-gets,

then to get there.

- This safari is very expensive

and I'm paying only to see
the wildebeest migrations,

like, somethin' special.

- Yes it is.
- I promised you guys.

- And Tony promised me that
I would see the wildebeest.

And everybody here wants to see it.

- Ah, you know, Tony know
nothing about the migration.

- What do you
mean, Tony know nothin'?

- Because otherwise, if
he's going to tell you

that you are not going
to see the migration,

mean that you're not going to pay.

You guys, look at the lions there.

- Whoa!
- Yeah.

- It's very very
amazing, real amazing.

This is more interesting,
more than the wildebeest.

- Oh, what is it doing?

- You see now they are moving,

they are looking for you.

They move, they want to meet.

- They're gonna make love now.

- Make love.

And you guys?

- I'm volunteering here, yeah.

So, but we're going on
this safari together

because I'm going off to Denmark soon.

- Ah.
- Yeah.

- I love Denmark.
- You do?

- I didn't tell you before,

but it's like my second
country, it's like my favorite.

I love it, I just love it.

- Oh, so you've been there?

- Yeah.

Århus.
Where were you in Denmark?

Vordingborg.

- Oh, okay.

- And what about you?

- You going with her?

- I would love to go, but
we already tried for a visa.

But I got rejected.

- Why?

- Because some document
doesn't fit well, so.

And I appeal again and
then I also got rejected,

but they say they had to
wait for couple months,

then I can try again.
- That sucks.

- But the plan was going together.

So then I didn't get in, so,

we don't know what's gonna happen.

- We don't
know what's gonna happen.

- You should stay together.
- Yeah.

You make such a beautiful couple.

- Thanks,
you, yeah, you too.

- Was expecting it.

Thanks.
- So what,

what is your story, why are you here?

- Gaby's doin' research,
he's about to start a PhD

in public policies for poor countries.

- PhD?
- Yes.

- Dr. Gaby, very cool.

- Not quite,
not quite a doctor yet.

- Okay, but you will be.

- And I happened to be invited

to a conference in South Africa

where I presented my last talk.

- Yeah, it happens, just happens, like,

of all the places in the world,

South Africa while I was in Africa.

- Oh.
- We have

a word for that in Portuguese, saudade.

- Ah, that's really good.

- When you miss a person.
- Yeah.

- He was missing me too, you know?

- Yeah.
- Yes, I was.

I was dyin' of saudade.
- Yes, I know.

- Are you okay?
- Don't sit on the top please.

- But why?
- Can't get...

- Yeah, come up--
- Rashid--

- But it's great here.
- No.

- Let's go, let's go down.

- Gabriel, the sunset.

- Gaby.

- That's cold,
I'm freezing, okay.

- Okay, whoo!

- Everybody
says that it takes too long.

- Yeah, it does, it takes too long.

Rashid's saying it takes too long,

because he doesn't want us
to go because he's lazy!

- Do you think I do not
know more than that?

- You trust your, you trust
your lite on that man?

- Kind of have to, he's the guide.

- You do trust him also, that's
why you come here with him.

- No, I don't.

I mean, let me, no, let me
explain why that I came here.

I came to see the fuckin' migration.

- With who?
- With you guys--

- And who was here?

- What?
- Who is driving us?

- How are you, my friend?

- Hey, Rashid.
- Dam-el ready.

- What, I wanted to talk about Ben-ee.

- What?
- Migration.

But this is way more than we agreed.

- No, I just paid for six, five peoples.

- Five people?
- Yeah,

I paid for five people.

Which I--
- Why?

- Because I told you that,

you are going to get the money back,

because the card which I
was supposed to use it,

the credit's not enough, brother.

- You swiped my card,
without my authorization,

without my signature.

- I don't know, I give the
guy that counted the the card

is swamp without to ask
give it the pin card.

- I should be there with you!

- I didn't know that.
- What's wrong, Gab?

He charged me triple,
he paid for everyone!

That wasn't the deal.

Can't he cancel it?

- Brother,
you have to cancel this.

Cancel this.
- No, no, no no.

- Yes, you have to cancel this.

Yes, you're wrong.
- No easy for me,

I don't--
- You have his money.

- I didn't do that.
- If you will not cancel,

if you don't cancel that, then I will say

that you're robbin' from me.
- No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

- Don't touch
him, are you crazy?

- Don't push me to the--
- Don't touch her, all right?

I was very sad when I heard the news.

No one wishes the death
of another human being,

even if that person is your enemy.

You know, the wildebeest, they
are very, very stupid animal.

Sometimes, they don't have a good memo,

sometimes they see like
predators around them,

lions or a cheetah, then they
forget and they get killed.

So they're very, very stupid,

they don't have a good memory.

Gabriel.

- What?
- You understand?

- Yeah, I'm not stupid.

- I want

this one too.
- 1,000.

- No no no, come on.
- 1,000.

- This one is 800, 800.

price, 1,000.

- 1,000.

2000, it's okay...

It's okay, thank you.

You're paying Mzungu price.

- Mzungu price!
- Mzungu price.

My Mzunga.

How did your presentation
in South Africa go?

I thought you'd never ask.

At last!

It went fine.

I'd forgotten my suit,
so I was a bit ill at ease.

Dressed like a hippie.

Otherwise, it was fine.

So what was it about?

On the importance of public investment
for Brazil's economic development.

Obvious, no?

No, otherwise 100 people
wouldn't have come to listen.

That's not what I meant...

Sure, you must invest
in infrastructure,

health, security, education...

You're minimizing the issue.

of public investment
has nothing to do with efficiency.

Not at all!

What did you present,
a mathematical, analytical model?

No, just a historical overview.

So you proved nothing!

Since when do we need econometrics
to prove an argument?

No, Gabriel.

Baby, I'm not denigrating your work.

But I think the state should play a role
of regulation, not of production.

It's impossible to have
a discussion with you,

as you're totally formatted
by your education.

I studied in the best schools in Rio,

perhaps even in the country!

My God, listen to him!

If heterodoxy
was as important as you say

it wouldn't be frowned upon
in the top universities.

In the top universities,

people have different points of view.

The problem is that
the world's political elite

has a doxa based on individualism
and profitability

instead oi redistribution
and it's totally absurd.

Not out of bad faith,
just pure ignorance!

No.

- No.
- No, thanks.

- No thank you, thank
you, no thanks, thanks,

thanks a lot.

I don't see why
you get so worked up.

When you're annoyed,
you're not clear.

You get riled and it's not clear...

It's perfectly clear!

No, neither your argumentation,
nor your discourse.

It's not clear to you
because you just don't get it!

- You explode...
- Damned orthodox!

Just to keep up your reputation...

- Reputation as what?
- A radical.

Is that what your neo-con friends say?

It's crazy, you talk just like them.

Like the one you slept with?

That was before India.

Don't start on that.

So why did you tell me?

If it was before.

So as to be honest...

Well, it hurts!

I preferred that you heard it from me!

Than on your return, goddammit...

He was my roommate in Brazil.

How can I ever look him in the face?
It's so embarrassing.

Are you with your roommate now?
No, you're with me! So stop.

It bothers me,
sleeping with my buddies...

Shut it!

Go find yourself
a spotless little virgin

on a par with your own self image!

This image of the super man...
It's ridiculous!

Honestly!

For example...

After you let everyone down,
what did you do?

You ran off to Africa, to hide!

Who's this "everyone" I let down?

- I ran off to Africa?
- Yeah, to hide!

What's up, Tonny!

- How was the safari?

- It was good, I'm gonna talk to you.

I'd been planning this trip for ages

and at last I'm living my dream,

- not running from anyone.
- Sure you are.

You're the one who's running.

- Watch out.

- So tell me about it.
- The safari was good,

Rashid was a bit, how can
I say, a little angry.

- No, thanks.

No thanks, no thanks, no!

- It's good.

- It's good stuff, we take
it from the Masai range.

The Masai ma-ma, always they
take, they go ,

it's the best in Tanzan'.

- Masai weed.
- Yeah, Masai weed.

- They say that the weed in
Malawi is also very good.

- Yeah, they call it a gold weed.

- Gold.
- Yeah.

'Cause of the color.

- Uh huh.

- Wait wait
wait wait, wait wait wait.

I'm not, wait, wait, wait,
no, my friend's not here!

- Okay, let's go.

- Okay.

Let's buy some bananas.
- Yes.

- I'm hungry.

- Let's go, 20.

- Just, wait
wait please, wait wait wait.

Gabriel!

- Eesh, have to go.

Brother, thanks a lot for the hospitality.

We see each other too,
wait wait wait wait!

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait!

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Ah-ba, sorry.

♪ Ooh ooh ♪

It's funny.

You compare me
to my neo-con friends,

and yet they call me a "poorologist".

Did you know that?
We're worlds apart.

If I wanted to work in finance,
I'd earn as much as them, if not more.

But I don't!

I want to work in education,
with social programs

for those who need them
and don't have access,

instead of wasting my life
on theoretical models.

But I hate American culture

and Los Angeles really typifies it.

Are you listening?

Isn't it ridiculous to study
poverty and public policy

in Beverly Hills?

It makes no sense, it's absurd.

It's like talking about squalor
in a five star hotel.

You wouldn't say that
if you'd got into Harvard.

Two months on a waiting list.

The worst two months of my trip.

I had my computer stolen,

I split my skull
on the Mekong in Vietnam...

You'll get over
not getting into Harvard.

Too bad for them.
So stop dwelling on it!

I wasn't refused,
I was on a waiting list.

Well, UCLA is great.

- You think so?
- Everyone thinks so!

Want to live with me in Los Angeles?

I'm serious.

Me, I don't have a scholarship.

You'll find work.

There's nothing for me in LA.

- What do you mean?
- Apart from you...

And I'm not enough?

Of course not.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Good morning, how are you?

- I'm good, and you?
- Fine, thank you.

How beautiful!

A present from my lover.

He must love you a lot.

You think so?

Sure.

Take a shower?

No, there was no water.

No water...

Shit!

You spilt the kerosene!

You spilt the kerosene!

Is it wet?

I don't know.

Damn.

Your notebook is wet?

Yes, but it's okay.

Doesn't matter.

I'm sorry.

- What's in it?
- The lot.

What do you mean?

All my travel notes, everything.

All my travel notes, everything.

- Hey, sir, do
you know the Ham-ah-nee Bath?

- Listen my friend, that's not the way

for Ha-ma-nee Bath, is the
right way, this way, right way.

- Yeah, I take for him.
- Okay.

- Let's go together.
- Come.

You're gonna see many things
in the Ha-ma-nee Bath.

But this is official, this is Arabic door.

But the Arabic door, this
sign is like, is for elephant,

because it's used, it's
for copper, to make this.

And this is like a sign of the chan,

'cause this sign for the slave traders.

Like this sign, and this wood, call it

This is the Zanzibar bath,

sometime were swimming here.

And they get warm water.

By the way, maybe let's
go together inside.

By the way, maybe let's
go together inside.

Don't be worried, my brother, be peace.

Be peace, Gabriel, don't be worried.

He's only explaining to us.

Want to pay him?

You don't know about this stuff.

- So you'll pay him after?
- Yes.

- Okay.

- Let's go inside.
- Okay, let's go inside.

You are too gonna look.

- Yes, sure that
it's malaria, because--

- You wanna go to
the hospital to make sure?

- Of course if
you, either way you want.

- Of course if

For us, people in Zambia, we
used to have to sell spice.

And that people, and that

And that people, and that

But where I want to go, I really,

I can't place for ride to place.

I'm going to buy one for my mom.

- Don't.

For my sister too.

- Ar-co-sa, yeah,
this like Zam-pee-bo Island.

I don't like the color.

- This one.
- No?

- This one not good one.

They have it in green.

- Listen, Gabriel, not good one.

The green is nice.

- This is a red one,
hey, this is the red one,

- Yeah.

This is a nice one.

- How are you?

- I'm fine, I'm sorry
for entering like this.

- I'm fine, I'm sorry
for entering like this.

- No, it's okay, I'm George.

- Thank you, I'm Gabriel.

- Thank you; from which country?

- Brazil.
- What is your mission?

Why have you come to Zambia?

- That's a hard question, but,

yeah, I'm researchin' education.

Yeah, I'm researchin' education.

But I'm also livin' my
life and traveling around,

and getting to know new places.

What about you, do you teach here?

- Yes, I'm a teacher here.

- What subject?

- I teach sight, that
is a step into English.

- I teach sight, that
is a step into English.

- What about this subject, like--

- Which one?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Mathematics.
- Yeah, I love it.

- For grade nine.
- Grade nine.

- Grade nine is--
- That's what I was...

- By the way, is she your wife?

- Ah ha, mm, she's my girlfriend, yeah.

- Ah ha, mm, she's my girlfriend, yeah.

- What do you mean when
you say your girlfriend?

- My girlfriend, we date.

- How can you come with a girlfriend

over from Brazil to Zambia?

In our tradition, it is not
allowed, it is an offense.

In our tradition, it is not
allowed, it is an offense.

- Really?
- Yes.

First you have to pay,

to the father of the girl,
then they give you official.

- Ah, so I need to buy her.

- Ah, so I need to buy her.

- Almost that.

So it means you are a
thief, you have stolen her.

- Oh, I've stolen her.

- Yeah.
- I like that, I stole her.

- Why?

- 'Cause I just love her.

And she's a thief too,
because she stole my heart.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Hey.

- Where are you going?

- Uh--
- The school con-for

is just finished here.

On this side there are no houses.

How may I help you?

- We just came from George's house,

we were just explorin',
this is my fiancee.

We are soon gonna marry.

- When you are drinking,
you have to shake first.

Because if you don't
shake, what'll happen is,

you only take the water part.

So as you are drinking,
you have to do this.

Then--
- Thank you very much.

- Very good.

- It's very sweet, very good.

- Thank you.
- So,

are you married?

- I'm married, yes.
- Your husband's around?

- My husband is not
around, he is studying.

He's at the university
all the time, but...

- Let me ask you something.

When you got married, it
was because you wanted to?

- It was because I loved Dennis so much.

We shared a lot with him,
we went to the same school.

We knew each other,.

I was not forced, it was
after all from my heart.

- That's good to know.
- You have children?

- I have three children.

As you hit like that, the
grains will start to dropping.

So when doing this, you
have to do it really hard.

With a lot of energy, like this.

Like this.
- Okay.

Like this; you are scared?
- No, no, no no it's okay.

Here, you can start.
- I was just,

I just got shy, but it's okay.

- Okay, you must
apply a lot of energy there.

- All right.
- Okay.

Ah, ah, apply energy.

- Not enough energy?
- You have hitt-en, go ahead.

- Okay, I need to be
angry with the maize, right?

- Uh huh.

- Think now I got it.

- If
Gabriel was alive today,

I would have wished to see his family.

I would have loved him to marry Cristina.

It he had not died, they
should have been together,

because they were in love.

Pass me the camera.

Taking one of me?

Strike the pose.

Look.

- You managed to make me handsome.
- But you are!

My mom thinks so too.

You've been handsome ever since
you recited Mario Quintana for me.

At Milla's?

Friends, check not your watches

When one day
I shall leave your lives

Lives lost in so many futile problems

That they seem more like necrologies

Because time is an invention of death

It knows not life, true life

As a single moment of poetry

Is enough to give us
the whole of eternity

Whole, yes

Because this eternal life

Is only divisible by itself

It cannot be fractioned

And the angels

Trade looks of bewilderment

When someone,
awakening in the afterlife

Happens to ask them

What time is it?

Thank you, Victoria Falls!

Thank you!

Nina,

your state of mind and emotions
depend only on you.

You are a strong girl

and you must find
that inner strength.

Happiness, beauty,

truth, love...

are to be found everywhere.

You only have to see that

and then choose happiness.

And when you truly decide

to seek within

you will find it,
as it's already there.

Shall we go?

Shall we go?

Just a minute.

It's my sister's birthday.

It's my last day,
I want to ride an elephant.

I'm backing up my photos,
I don't want to lose them.

- They really matter to me.
- Yeah, like the Maasai stick...

"Please, think about all this,

and try to really feel it."

Can I read it for you?

I've been dreaming of riding
an elephant since India.

Be nice, come.

Can't I read it for you?

"A big kiss

from your brother

who loves you

so very much."

You can't ride elephants in India.

- But in Zambia you can.
- "Gabiruba."

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- I'm well; yourself?

- I'm good.
- I'm good.

- Hi, brother.
- Hi, how are you?

- I'm fine, and you?
- Well, come on through.

- We want to ride
elephant, is it possible?

- No, I'm sorry, it's not possible.

- Why not?

- They came out from a ride already.

They are roaming freely now.

Wanna give them a rest.

Should have come earlier.

- Yeah.
- Sorry.

Take a picture of me.

We take a bus to the bungee jump?

We'll take a taxi.

No, over here.

So let's go.

- Hello, brother.
- Hi.

Hi.
- Hi, how are you?

- I'm fine, and you?

- Good.

- I'm Gabriel, what's your name?

- Hosiah.
- Hosiah.

- I'm the next one, you
can write my name down.

- No, you're not.

- What do you mean?

- Because I'm closed, these
guys, they're the last

to jump off the bridge today.

- No, but I can be the last one, just--

- No, you can't.

No man, you can't, we're closed man.

There's nothing I can do for you.

- But wait, wait wait, he's
still jumping, they're--

- I'm sorry, we're closed,
try another time, eh?

- Please please please, man, please,

this is my last chance, man, come on,

come on brother, this is
my last chance to jump.

You have to, listen,

Wait, Cris!

You have to listen to me, man.

Come on, okay, okay, you do this jump,

then we talk again.

- Arms out, put
your arms strong, eh?

- Five, four, three, two, one!

- Good luck!
- Okay!

- Whoa!

Wow!

- Go, boy!

- Brother, brother,
please, please, please.

Look at my eyes.

- That's the end of the day, man.

Sorry.

I never thought it'd be so cold
in Africa.

I'm a Corinthians supporter!

But the Flamengo jersey
really suits you.

No, I have my period.

That never stopped you before.

As we'd argued a lot during the trip,

he asked me if it was

because...

I thought it'd be easier,
if we argued,

to say goodbye.

I answered, yes, perhaps,

maybe that was why.

We kissed and he asked me:

"Will you come with me to Los Angeles?"

I answered:

"I don't know, we'll see.

We'll see when you get back to Rio."

We looked at each other
and I remember

I could see his feet
through the...

And I don't know, but...

I felt that...

it was like a farewell.

- Thank you, have a nice flight.

- Thank you.

- Sorry, sir, you wait there, that's--

- I got it.

- May
I have your attention, please.

See you soon.

- Welcome.

Hi, my little Mzunga,

I hope you got back safely.

Yesterday, I got up late
and went to the museum.

It was like a science fair, but nice.

Then I strolled in a market
and went to the station.

I spent 4 hours reading
the guidebook

and decided to go straight to Malawi.

I'd thought I'd stay in Zambia,
but it was just like in India:

I can't be alone in a country
where we've been together.

I miss you so, my love.

I'll soon buy my ticket home.

Lots of kisses, see you soon.

- Uh oh, you just jumped the border.

There's no exit stamp in here.

- No, no, my exit stamp from Zambia

is in my Brazilian
passport, this one here.

- Ah, okay, this one, Brazil.

75 dollars, this one.

- Yeah, no, but I--
- This one is visa-free.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want definitely

to get in with the visa-free,

because I'm also a French citizen.

- Yeah, but there's no
exit stamp on this one.

It's in here, so this one, 75 dollars.

- Man, I, look, I don't
even have 75 dollars.

- Sir, how are you
traveling without money?

- I'm at the end of the trip.

Hello!

- Hey, you're back.

- Yes, I--
- So fast.

- I got the transit
visa from the Zambia border.

Paid 50 dollars, so I saved 25.

Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Well that's good.
- Hey.

- It's not stamped?
- Yeah.

No, but there is.

There you go.
- Thank you.

So this one is good for 30 days, yeah?

- 30 days, I've
given you 30 days, sir.

- So the truck's that one, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Hello, sir.

- Hello, how are you?

- I'm fine, and you.
- I'm good.

- Can you give this

a ride, please?

- Where are you going?

- Lilongwe.
- Lilongwe, okay,

you have to pay.

- See, that's the thing,
I don't have money, man.

- Don't have money?

- No, but I can cash out in Lilongwe.

Can you get there?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

- All right, get in.

Why you go north if you
want to go south to Mulanje?

- 'Cause I wanna
get the ee-la-la ferry

from Tee-tzee-ma, and then
come back south again.

- Oh, tomorrow I'm gonna to
load some timbers in Mzuzu.

- Wait, ah,

can I go with you?

- No problem, we can go together.

Thank you very much.

- So, have you ever been to Mulanje?

- No, I've never been in Mulanje.

But I like to be there one day.

- You should come with me then.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

- No problem, we'll go together.

- They say that Mulanje's one
of the most beautiful places

of the world.

- Yeah, it's beautiful place.

And there is some rumors
that there's some spirits.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- But you don't believe these rumors?

- No, I don't believe the rumors.

- Why not?

- I don't know, I just don't believe it.

- They say Tolkien found inspiration

to write The Lord of
the Rings from Mulanje.

- Yeah, just ain't so,
but I don't believe it.

You know it's just the rumors.

Sometimes they say, if you
go there, you find food,

you eat, don't tell your friend,

even if your friend just
eat the food and you go.

See, things like that.

So when did you leave Brazil?

- Uh, almost one year now, man.

- Oh, you're just traveling?

Okay, that's nice, you
see the countries, yeah?

- Yes.

- So when are you going back to Brazil?

- Two weeks from now.

- Oh, wow, that's nice.

Yeah, let's eat sim-mah.

Because tomorrow morning,
early in the morning,

we are going to Mzuzu.

- Yeah, thank you.

- Sure.

- So what time do we leave?

- Five a.m.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Isn't it too early?

Shouldn't you rest a little bit more?

Is it kind of dangerous?

- No, no, I can wake even
three days without sleeping.

- Yeah?
- Sure.

- What do you do to keep awake?

- Oh, when you are driving,
just have a poured water.

Poured water, sometimes
you can have even beer.

- Beer?
- Yeah.

It's good.

- Wow.

But like, if I drink beer,

I sleep.

- Not too much beer, just two bottles,

going to keep you awake.

- Hmm.
- Sure.

Thank you.

So how much do you make
for trip, per trip?

- Mm, they pay me almost
40 dollars per month.

- Per month?
- Yeah.

And now it's almost five
months without paying me.

Sure.

- Why don't you, I don't
know, do something,

get organized, do strikes; fuck, man.

- You know what, here in
Malawi, job is too much scarce.

Otherwise, if you do
strike, you just fire me,

then I'll lose my job.

- It's okay now.
- Thanks.

- Sure.

What happened to your hand, this one?

- This one.
- Yes.

- I don't know, actually, no one does.

- Why not?

- Yeah, it's just something that happened.

- How old are you?

- When I was 15.

I wasn't born like this.
- All right, okay, I see.

- This one is good.

- It's good now.

All right, doing fine.

Gabriel Buchmann, I was
reading the front paper,

the front page, thought, gee,

there's a white man lost, I mean, missing,

in the Mulanje Mountain.

Ya, you have to go now.

So I was telling my friends that this,

I know this one is my friend.

So they said, ah, no,
and I showed 'em the card

which he gave me, and
it's when they believed

that I was with Gabriel.

Your coming here, it's
very wonderful to me.

We are making maybe
good place, like a place

coming again to me.

- It's not much, yeah?
- Yes.

- But you should keep some.
- Thank you very much.

Thank you.
- Okay,

that way we keep in touch.

- Yes, yeah, thank you very much.

- Thank you, Luke.

Why don't you keep these too?
- No.

- Yeah, as a gift.

Thank you very much, have
a nice journey, my friend.

- You too.
- Sure.

- Thank you.

- Don't drink
too much beer, yeah?

- No, no, no.

- We meet again, yeah?
- All right.

- Bye, Luke.

Dear Cris and Mom...

After hitchhiking
to the far north of Malawi,

sleeping at the home of a trucker
who became a good friend,

I took a ferry that crosses Lake Malawi
north to south in 3 days

and that stops in 13 villages
along the coast.

Amazing.

Sleeping up on deck
beneath the stars,

I'm the only Mzungu on board.

I've just arrived
at the famous Nkhata Bay

and as I've only got
three hours to enjoy it...

Big kisses.

Do you know the name Sapitwa means?

- Yeah, no-go area.

'Cause bee-twa is the

You know man, just historical
background about the place,

it was two people that go.

- What are you doin'?

- Gabriel, I just
want to take a break.

- No, no breaks,
brother, please, we're late.

- If you are late, you
can stay at the hut.

So tomorrow morning we can
be able to go to Sapitwa.

Then come down in the same day.

- See, the thing is,

my visa to Malawi expires tonight.

So I need to get out from Malawi

to reach Mozambique tonight.

- Sure, I didn't know that, so,

it seem like you don't have
enough time to take Malawi,

so let's just go through
the heart and see the heart,

take some photos, then go back.

- Brother,
I am going to Sapitwa.

Are you comin' with me?

- We said goodbye cha-that,

I think, at 20 after
two, at Djembe Plateau.

I didn't allow him to go.

Yeah, if something happened,
it would be my concern.

Let's go down, let's quit.

Speaking louder and loud.

Tell me, don't worry about me,

I'm more a mountaineer than Lewis.

Don't worry about anything.

Come back to your house in
the night and pick my stuff,

and say goodbye, I'm going to Mozambique.

- I, Gabriel Buchmann, authorize

Lewis, what is your second name?

- Gadson.
- Lewis Gadson

to pick up my stuff.

Okay.

- Are you sure that you're
going there by yourself?

- Yes.
- No.

- Thank you very much, you
have helped me very much.

- You didn't pay me.

- Oh, right.
- Yeah, from,

taking you from the first office up here.

You pay me, yeah?

- You're completely right;
sorry, I was forgetting.

- That time,
he paid me not enough.

I said he paid me 400 kwacha, just half.

I also understand that he
didn't have enough money

for his safe.

- Where is my wallet?

Okay, it's here, whew.

So.

Okay?
- You need change?

- No, actually, you can keep the change.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- My friend, you didn't
end a good thing, you know?

Things started to get ugly together,

what do you think about this?

- I think that you don't
need to worry about this.

Because soon we will meet again

and we will bar-ee about this.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Thank you, man.

- I'm still thinking about him,

'cause he was one of my client,

who went up on the mountain, die.

So I do remember him,
each and every single day

when I wake up.

Night, I sleep, I used to pray

that his spirit may rest in peace.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Where's your guide?

- I let him go, he was too slow.

Did you go to the top?

- Yeah, I just came down today.

- Is it beautiful up there?

- It's gorgeous, you can see
all the way to Mozambique.

- Wow.

How long till I get there?

- Like two, three hours,
depending on your pace.

- Nice.
- Where do you think

you're going?

- Uh, Sapitwa.

- No way, there's less
than two hours of sunlight.

- That's why I have to hurry.

- How smart; no guide, no gear, sandals.

- I've done many mountains before.

- Oh come on, this
mountain is treacherous.

And if you go up alone, now,

you're not only putting your life at risk,

you're putting at risk
the life of other people

who'll have to go up to rescue you

in the middle of the night.

- Oh, you'll go up to rescue
me in the middle of the night.

- No way.

I'll be sleeping, and
you'll be sleeping here too.

- No, tough decision.

Shall I put it out?
- Mm-hmm.

- Hot, that's hot.

Oh, shit, it's hot.

- Should I help with the carrots,

like with the onions?

- We can just eat it like this.

- Are you leaving?

- Yes, I am.

- You're not taking your backpack?

- No, I'm fine with this.

- You should take your backpack.

Just in case you take
the wrong trail down.

- So I'll go up to the peak, I'll go down,

and I'll pass you on the way down.

- So, before I forget.

Here's some energy to
pass me on the way down.

- Merci.

Sure you don't wanna come with me?

- I'll see you on the way down.

- You keep my tea then.

- Enjoy the mountain.
- Okay.

Okay.

Mm.
