for a good girl to be outside

I'm sorry

Look, papa

Nello is very good at...

A picture

Are you always doing this foolish thing

Mama is worrying about you

You go home now

Can't you hear me

I didn't draw it to sell

I got it to Alois, and

I don't want money for this

There isn't a reason

You are the only child of Cojezs

Saint Mary

Yesterday I made Mr. Cojez angry

but I don't know why

I don't know why

I can't play with Alois

This town hasn't changed a bit

It was five years ago when I was here last

Give me one more glass

What's the matter with you, Nello

What's behind the curtain

What's inside, Nello

There are paintings by Rubens

Two paintings

Rubens

I really want to see the paintings

but I can't

Why not

Why can't you see

I have to pay for that

I have to pay a gold coin to look

A gold coin

A gold coin

it's a lot of money, isn't it, Brother

Yes

Nello, don't think of the painting

What on earth are you doing, Hey

Go, Damn you

Are you going or not

Go

Patrash, what's wrong with you

He has been strange since we went to the town today

Oh, Mr. Hans. How are you doing

Is your grandpa at home

Yes, inside the house

Grandpa

Hello, Mr. Hens

Mr. Jehan, I need this month's rent today

This is it

Mr. Cojez was complaining about it

Be smart

He doesn't want Miss Alois being drawn

You can't even afford a piece of paper

And you drew her on the back of a poster

How impolite of you to do such thing

I wish you would stay away from her

Mr. Cojez knows that

I am renting you this house

Please remember that

This is the rent, Mr. Hans

Paying always with small bills

Nello, I hope you understand what I am talking about

Nello

You keep drawing

no matter what they said

but

Don't worry about anything

I'm sure Alois

likes your drawings, too

Grandpa

It's strange...What's wrong with Alois

Nello

Nello Will you please take me the town

with you, please

You want to go to the town Yes

Papa is gone for business in the morning

and Mama told me to play outside with you

Sorry for bothering you

Please take Alois

to the town

No problem

I'm sure Nello and Patrash

will enjoy the new company

Thank you very much

Well, Alois

please listen to Mr. Jehan

Yes

Well, let's hit the road See you later, Mrs. Cojez

Have fun and be careful

Nello, are we going to the market

if so

there I like to buy some strawberry candy

It has been a while since we went to

Antwerp together last time

I think we were there together on the festival last year

Where do I want to go

I have bought what I want to buy

I want to go to high ground for scenery with George too

Yes, we will go to the places

where you want to

Oh! It's beautiful

Alois, It's dangerous

Pretty flowers

Every spring

these flowers come out like this

You don't see it as you rides the coach

I didn't know that

Nello, we'll be ahead

Yes

That's right

What's the matter, Nello

This is the spot

where Patrash was lying

Oh! Nello, you are saying that

you found Patrash here

Yes, red flowers were there

just like this

It was a terrible man who had Patrash

He didn't even give him water

and made him work so hard for him

Get up, Patrash

You are no use

Go now

I didn't know that

Patrash had such terrible days

before he knowing you

Patrash, come

drink some water

Patrash is so lucky

as Nello rescued him

Just a moment, Nello

There you go

You got so many

What are these, Nello

Oh, I see

You're going to draw on the back of them

Yes, I asked him to save some used papers

for me

Look at this. It's still a beautiful paper

It's a waste to drop it

You are right

what's the matter, Mrs. Noulette

this is terrible

who did it

hey, kid

you really made fun of me

Patrash

It seems you have been using Patrash for a hard labor

like dragging the milk

but it got nothing to do with me anymore now

grandpa

don't worry, Nello

Patrash is yours

and nobody will take him away from you

really

is that true

Patrash, you will be all right now

Mother Mary

please make my grandpa better

you're right

Alois

Nello

It must be an uniform of a school

you really look good in it

This new uniform will get dirt

that's all right

I don't care about this uniform

Alois

Nello, I told you before

I wish I didn't go to school

didn't I

papa and mama told me that

it would be fun

to go to school

and it's good for me to go

you also said that, but

I don't think it is true

Papa wants me in school

just because he doesn't want me to see you

I can't see you

as I have to stay in the school

until late afternoon

Not only that papa puts me in a knitting class after school

he wants me to write diary every day

I can't see Patrash either

Alois

the school has just started

It will change soon

Alois

it doesn't sound like you

but

you can see Patrash and me

on the weekends

Please cheer up, Alois

Alois, you makes Patrash and I worry

if you look so sad

I'm sorry, Nello

You must feel more lonely

I guess I shouldn't complain

I have to go now

see you soon, Patrash

Nello

brother, there are many people

something is written there

brother, I can't see it

even if we see it, we can't read it

it's difficult, I see

excuse me

what does it say

there will be a contest of painting since we have great paintings by Rubens

a contest of drawing

anyone can participate it

yes, anyone under eighteen years old

if you win the contest

you'll get 200 Francs

and

have a free ticket to Art school

that sounds great

Nello, you'll win for sure

you will win

you will win

mama, I want to be in the contest

he won't win the contest

Nello, will you try

will you try

yes, I will try

if I win

I'll be able to learn in school, Patrash

if that happens

I'll be going to school in Antwerp

with Alois

but

the panel

will be very expensive

grandpa, I'm home

Nello

Hello, Mr. Hans

I can't wait any longer

you begged me

to wait last month too

I'll go and wash the milk cans

you only paid me

a half last month

and it happens again now

If this will go on

you will have to move out

from the house

grandpa

Nello, don't worry

Patrash

I mean you spent the money for Patrash

right

I'm sorry, grandpa

I didn't know anything

I didn't know that you had to pay

that man all money you have

Nello, Patrash is watching you

Patrash

Patrash, don't worry

it has nothing to do with you

Nello

hello, Mr.

could you

do me a favor

yes

Nello

where are you going

to the house of Mr. Kiesringel

just a moment, we're coming too

what a big house this is

A son of this house

enters his painting to the contest

it might be a tough competition

Stephan, please come and see it

does it come

I have been waiting for it

bring it in

yes, I'll do it now

here is the money

thank you for bringing it in

look, this is my panel

what happened, it's great

the owner gave it to me for delivering that panel

good for you, Nello

Mr. Aik is that what you wanted

yes, thank you

do it well, please

oh, no

what

Alois and Nello are

yes, that's right

As soon as Jehan walked out

Nello took Miss Alois

into the burn

darling

they are still children

you don't have to worry about that

oh, no

although they are children

you never know

I can't tell

what Nello is thinking about

I'm afraid that a strange rumor will spread

and Miss Alois has a bad reputation

they can't even pay the rent

Nello that kid

I don't like him

Never let Alois see Nello

Never ever again

I'm home

Hi Alois you're back

Hans

thank you

oh, not at all

by the way, I've heard

you have bought something

yes, some clothes for winter

I see, maybe

I'll ask you to

make a jacket for Alois

sure

what is Alois doing

she is crying

it this goes on

she will become sick

why can't she see Nello

Nello is a nice honest boy

if you are concerning about Nello's family situation

and so on...

I want Alois to become happy

at all means

it got so rough

forever, O.K

Yes, of course

Please

It's been a while

The morning air is so fresh

and nice

Are you all right, Grandpa

I'm all right

Grandpa, you should go back now

Grandpa

Nello

tell Grandpa

the town is filled with the smell of frits

After people harvest potatoes

there used be a lot of shops in the town

Grandpa

You shouldn't walk too much

Yes, you are right

How about you, Grandpa

I'm fine, don't worry

and so do you, Patrash

don't cry now, stupid

grandpa

Nello

I picked it by the bridge

oh, this is cute

but it's not mine

I see

someone in the village

might have dropped it

I'll go and ask

Nello

have you decided what you will draw for the contest

I thought I would draw grandpa and Patrash

but, I can't remember the face of grandpa

when I tried

to remember grandpa's smiling face

tears come up in my eyes

it is like

raining in my head

Nello

It is funny that I can' t remember his face

though I was with him since I was a baby

it's moving

it was fun

I'm glad to see you smiling again

something is wrong

yes

papa was saying that this windmill has something wrong this morning

I'm supposed to give it oil

but I don't know where to

Mr. Cojez

is asking me hard works lately

I guess I should wait for a mechanic

yes, it's better

what is the matter, Patrash

the windmill

my windmill

get water, hurry

hurry, get some water

put out the fire

hurry

there

more water

get more water, hurry

here, water

hurry, hurry, more water

hurry

quickly

give me the water

the storage house is on fire too

my wheat is burning

they are all burnt

we have just harvested it last week

Be careful

why

why did it happen

darling

I found the wings were not turning well

and told Hans to oil the shaft

I can't think of any cause of fire except it was an arson

what should I do now

I'll give the arsonist a good lesson

if I catch him

Nello

what were you doing in the mill in the evening

tell me

I saw you running away from the mill

with the dog

did you start the fire

did you

you started the fire for revenge

I know you hated me because I didn't let Alois see you

is that right, darling

Nello would never do such a thing

I didn't

I didn't start the fire

then

what were you doing there

I was with Alois

with Alois

you saw Alois yesterday there

Nello

I don't want to see you again

you will never ever see my daughter again

darling

Nello

I didn't do it

I didn't

I did not start the fire

Nello, I'm sorry

but I don't need you to carry the milk any more

Nello, from tomorrow

I don't need you

Sorry, Nello

Patrash

no

we don't go to the town anymore

darling

we should ask him

to carry the milk

I can't do it

I'm sorry

Nello, please forgive us

I'm sorry, grandpa

I lost my milk delivery job today

what am I going to do now

grandpa

Nello

grandpa

Nello

you are not alone

you still have Alois

George and Paul are always with you

sorry, Nello

though in heaven

grandpa

Nello

paint a good picture

it's done

Patrash, I've finished painting

do you like it, Patrash

grandpa

thank you

It's snowing, Patrash

Let's go, Patrash

Alois, I've finished the painting

what, you want me to wait for the rent

I have waited long enough

for your grandpa's sake

if you can't pay me

I want you to move out

please

by Christmas

I'll pay it

Christmas

will you be able to pay me by Christmas

you don't even have a job

I'll pay it by then for sure

If you can't

you'll move out of the house

Alois

those are the cookies that her mama baked

Patrash

we'll be all right by Christmas

In my opinion

this painting is excellent

that's right

I agree with you

Patrash, we'll be there soon

I'll feed you something good today

something good to eat

this child is not yet eighteen years old

but he has expressed great deal

in this religious theme

I think it's not easy

this artist is the winner

but, will you look at

the painting next to it

it's obvious that this artist

had no formal education of painting

if I look at the brush strokes

but

he had depicted this old man and the dog

in the way that everybody

can feel the warm blood

is running inside them

this is a good painting for sure

but I'm not sure

if it comes to the winner

I feel that way too

this painting is almost perfect

and the subject matter is very well

I think the artist of this painting should be the winner

I think Rubens' paintings move people

because they appeal

to people's heart

and that's what I look for in this contest

appealing to people's heart

I understand it, but

we can't just talk about the possibility

from a judge's point of view

it's not enough to be the winner

I want to see a certain level of technique

Patrash, please wait for me here

now comes the announcement

I feel so nervous

I wonder what the result is

will I be the winner

don't worry

I'm so nervous

so nervous

here it comes

Now, we are going to

announce the winner

of the Rubens Picture Contest

after he careful deliberation

of the five judges

the winner is chosen

Mr. Kiesringel

it's great

congratulation

It is wonderful

great

you did it very well

yea, very good

no wonder you are the winner

that's true

it's so good

great

wonderful

congratulation

congratulation

congratulation

so wonderful

you are good, Stephan

it's true indeed

congratulation

let's go have a party for Stephan

come

let's celebrate

all right

hurry, let's go have a party

let's go

grandpa, what am I ...

we are too late

brother

is that Nello's picture

shut up

sorry

thank you, Patrash

Patrash, I'm sorry

that I couldn't feed you

Patrash

what's the matter Ptrash

Look, a lot of money

Hurry up, Hans

yes, yes

mama, if they don't find the money

what will happen to us

this..

I don't know

but we'll have to sell this house

and the land

have to sell this house

Papa finally borrowed it

from the bank

as he was going to pay to those people

whose clops have been burnt

and he's thinking of rebuild a new windmill

the money is very important

Nello

Alois

I think this belongs to Mr. Cojez

Is this Papa's

mama, come and see it

it's papa's bag

Nello, come in

Patrash, come in

what's the matter

mama, look

when we are walking by the cave

Patrash found it beneath the snow

great

this is the important bag that

my husband lost

is that right

good

thank you, Nello

thank you, Nello

thank you

you have rescued my family

oh, you are so cold

I'll get you a hot soup now

come here, Patrash

poor Patrash

he must be very tired

Nello

we haven't seen each other for a long time

Nello

Alois

I have to tell you

I have something to tell you

don't say anything, I went to see it

Alois

I went there today

but Nello

don't say anything, I went to see it

don't be disappointed just because of that

Alois

You like Patrash, Alois

of course

good

Patrash is very hungry

I'll feed him a huge meat like this tonight

wait for it, Patrash

mama

I'm sorry, Patrash

be happy with Alois

thank you for waiting

where is Nello

Patrash, it's your dinner

this is it

I'm bankrupted

this is

my money

this is my money

Patrash has found it

and Nello brought it here

Nello

yes

Nell sent it back for you

He could have used a coin

to buy food for himself and Patrash

but he didn't touch any of it

I...

I...

I misunderstood Nello

I'm sorry, Nello

Patrash

what's the matter

Patrash

where are you going, Alois

I'm going

I'm going to Nello's house

it's dangerous in this snow

but

I'll go and see

you will stay home, Alois

please get inside

George, Paul

This is Mr. Aik

I'm a painter in Antwerp

my name is Aik

I was a judge of the picture contest

I believed that Nello's painting

is the best

I come here today in hope of

helping him learn in school

and develop his talent

Where has Nello gone

he wasn't at home either

it's strange that

the house is really cleaned up

what is it, Hans

ehh..

tell me, Hans

Nello couldn't pay

the rent for a while

so I told him to move out by Christmas

what. .what did you say

how could you do that

I mean..

damn

this is

Rubens' paintings

I finally get to see the paintings

I finally see them

Mother Mary

now...

I feel I have no regret

Patrash

Patrash

take care of Nello

Patrash

Patrash

you come to me

thank you

yes, I know

we are

always together

look at that

Patrash

This is the painting by Rubens that I wanted to look

and I finally saw it

Patrash

I am

very happy now

yes, you are tired, aren't you

so am I

grandpa, I'm sorry

I want to rest now

Patrash

let's have a rest now together

Nello

Alois

George, you are late

I'm sorry

Paul has just come back

Paul

it has been a long time

Mr. Cojez gave me a day off

because the windmill is not busy now

is that so

my mama and papa are all right

yes

they want you to come and see them

Mr. Cojez worries that

you are working hard in the nunnery

with those painful memories

he really worries about you

I'm very busy with the children

I have no time for memories

sister, come

hurry, sister

let's go to the market

hurry

I'm very happy

to see them smiling

is that so

all right, we'll take care of them today

those angels

right, brother

I'll take them to the harbor and put them on my ship

oh, they will love It

let's go now

let's go

Alois

I'm always by your side

Nello

I am awaken without reason

It's restless kind of season

I hear the thunder

I hear the raindrops

Then I see rainbows

All rainbow of you

I can remember just like that summer

The summer when I found a friend and you

When I cry I call out your name

I can recall all all that childhood

Like dream that will never die of

I am taking my sorrow

And you bring me to the light

When I cry I call out your name

Just touch me with heaven at my doorstep

To remind me that I won't be alone

Forever as kind if you would remind me

That our love no way will not die

Show your face to me my love

You are the star light

Let me know your home

You are my prayer in this night time

You get strength to my life on

Are you an angel with all of your wonder

Are stars glimmering within the sky

Can you still see me becoming a woman

Can you believe it being such a long time

When I cry I call out your name

The echoes of strangers sound familiar

As if it were you I can hearing

I don't want to follow if it's here I belong

But it is true that I miss your smile

I'll carry your memories throughout my lifetime

To the winters end and to the summer die

I wipe away teardrops

Cus I am stronger than I might know

When I cry it won't be the same

But laughter of a friend

Might hold in your hand

This is what life seems to be telling me

I need to see

When I cry I can be set free

Like journey of rivers to the ocean

It's like we're together for always

There is no denying

I found courage knowing your love

And I see you will always be

The sweetest lover that I had known

The sweetest friendship

You make me strong
