Maria?

What's this scar?

I don't know, I just saw it.

- Did father see it? - I said I just saw it!

Let me have a look.

It's like mother's!

Please, don't talk about this to anyone

I'll talk it with our father tonight. And if it's needed I shall go to the doctor!

Don't neglect it. It's serious. You're getting marry in a month.

What's wrong?

Speak to me Maria!

- May I ask you something? - Whatever Leuteris.

You didn't like Kyritsis, that's why you turned him out?

or is it 'cause of the medicine that harmed us?

First of all it wasn't just me that turned him out.

Government stoped the treatment because it harmed us.

- So, why doc left? - And why should he stay?

Afterall the treatment stoped.

I heard that you stoped the treatment.

What to do?

Calm down Maria. Maybe it's not what it looks like.

Do you have any other scars?

No,

Let me see it.

So, Leuteri, how's work doing? Are you happy?

Heh? Mmm, yes I like it.

I bet you'll start writing to the newspaper in a while.

If I write someday an article, I would like to call it "Free Speech". Do you like it?

Very much. It reminds me of your name! (Leuteris = free)

I like the word "Free".

Yes, I had the same thought.

I think uncle Nikos wants us to stay to his place...

- What? Did he say that? - No, it's a thought I made.

"Vandoulakis can't find out about this"

"I'll say to Antonis that you caught a cold, right?"

"It might be nothing."

Here is my daughter, still waiting for me, heh?

This is the image that will keep me company when you'll be away!

I saw your sister was well and I'm happy. I should go wash my hands.

Maria, what's wrong?

- I want to show you something. - What's that?

Fetch the light.

Light here.

We should go to Heraklio, Kyritsis must see it.

- Do you want to supper? - Heh? Yes...

Is it this year's vinegar Pauli?

[Rime: Tomatoes grew on the top of the manure,

if the tavern man is shit then so does the customers]

Good evening!

- Hi there Manolio, welcome! - Thank you!

- Bless us father! - Treat Manolis some wine!

- Good evening Georgi! - Good evening!

Antonis told me... Maria caught a cold!

I'm really worried! May I see her?

Better not Manolis!

She's got high fever and sleeps all the time.

Besides if she see you out of the blue...

she'll be embarassed for being sloppy!

Be patience for a couple of days and then you'll see her.

Come, let's play a game.

Nah...I should go gather the nets.

- Then I'll join you! - Be glad to!

- Bye! - So long!

I'm looking at the island and think of how lucky we are to be healthy!

Those who live inside get their supplies from Plaka?

We get their supplies.

Seriously?

It's my job too.

And how do they pay you?

Only they have money!

They get an allowance from the state!

And you're carrying just food... or ill people too?

Whatever is meant to be, Manolis.

Aren't you scared you might sick too?

Scare for what?

Everybody has it's fate.

Do you sence anything here?

Yes.

Here?

No.

Do you have any other scars?

No, just here.

Georgi!

Can you wait outside for a while?

I lost you!

Lost me?

Antreas told me you went to Plaka.

Yes I did.

Have you seen my sister?

No, she was sick and your father didn't let me see her.

Sick?

Yeah, she had a fever and...

was sleeping all the time.

Really?

Tasia! Tasia!

You should go see her!

Don't be afraid Maria.

We will confront whatever comes around.

I'm sorry.

Nonetheless,

the disease is at an early stage.

Maria...

You must look after your body's health.

Remain strong. That's the only way to confront the disease.

Doctor...

you'll continue the reasearch, right?

Will you go back to the island?

I don't know Georgi.

I don't know.

So you want us to stay at president's home?

mmm...

Mmm!

Why? what's wrong with ours?

Nothing! It's just that President's is much bigger!

And of course, it's the president's house!

You're stupid!

Now leave me alone, I have an essay to write.

You call this a handwriting?

- All good mr Georgi? - Fine, fine.

Oh my God!

I m going to talk with Manolis tonight. Tomorrow to your parents in law.

I' m so sorry Maria....

I can't believe this!

Stephane...

give me a drink to cheer to my girl that got sick!

Hallo!

- Hi mr Paul! - Hi, Manolis!

Mr Georgi? Is everything alright?

I need to talk to you!

Sit! Just the two of us.

Manolis, I have some bad news.

Maria must go. And there's no wedding!

What?

She has this cursed disease.

I don't understand...

My child Manolis, has leprosy.

Are you serious?

One of these days I must take her over to Spinalonga.

But how?

These are God's will.

It seems that I've sinned in my life, child.

What to say? I don't know!

It's so sad you know.

Forever and ever, amen. Bon appetite.

- Bon appetite. - I made the meatballs in vain,

that brat. Who knows where he is hanging around.

You needs now meatballs, mother. He's got all the honey he needs.

There is going to be no wedding.

What do you mean?

Unfortunately, my sister got sick.

What's wrong?

Leprosy.

What?

Maria must go to Spinalonga.

- My mother was there too. - Your mother?

Anna...?

My father would have this conversation today with Manolis.

- And said that he would come here tomorrow. - I can't believe what I've just heard.

You embarassed my family!

Look at me when I'm talking to you!!!

- I don't have the disease. - Get out!

- Alexander! - Don't speak! This is all your fault!

I told you this. You brought the disease inside my house!

Out!!!

Did you find him?

I told him.

Ok.

This is the worst day of my life.

Me too.

Where is she now?

At home, with mr Georgi.

I thought I should go but... it's better for them to be alone.

- Anna provoked this with her misery. - Oh, stop this.

Why? I'm telling this to you. I didn't share my thoughts with anyone else..

- Did Vandoulaki's family heard so? - I' m sure they did.

This is a big humiliation for them.

A leper in their family?

I bet they'll throw out Anna too.

Stop it. Why to do such thing?

Antreas would never broke up with his wife.

Relative! Relative in law.... I can't even pronounce this word...

What are you talkin' about? What should I say to society now?

That I got involved with a leper family?

- Alexander! - Shut up!

Out of my house. Out!!! Leper family!

I don't get it, why don't you take some of these with you?

Afterall, your father won't need it.

These are things that will make you feel better. Don't you want that?

How should I feel better since I'll be aware

that you and my father will be far away?

Eager with agony of how much life is left for me?

It's going to pass a lot of time since I will feel better again.

You don't have to encourage me, Photini.

But I want you to promiss me this...

To be there for my father. Visit him each and every day.

I'm afraid of leaving him alone.

Of not getting sick becasuse of his worry.

Bring him some food, Photini.

If you need something else from now on, just say it to me and I'll bring it to you.

How?

You thought you'll never see me again?

When I can, your father will get me with his boat

across to the island to see you.

- Really? - Of course I will.

You give me such courage.

Even with the thought that you'll be visiting me.

Silly. Your more than my sister, I couldn't left you that simply.

I'll take my herbs with me. I might need them.

I should go. I've left the baby with my mom.

- Goodnight mr Georgi. - Goodnight my good girl. Goodnight.

I see.

No sympathy...

Nothing, hah?

No... I wouldn't say....

Anna?

Didn't show up.

She told them everything... about your mother.

Do you help your father at housework?

I miss you dears.

When I lay down at nights,

I shut my eyes and dream that I have you in my arms.

And this is how I'm falling to sweet sleep till next morning.

- Love, your mohter. - Maria?

Maria?

I wanted to say goodbye to you.

And to tell you...

that I'm deeply sad...

that everything must end among us

before we even start.

I'm sorry

and sad too.

I wish the best.

I mean... for a medicine to be invented and...

Science improves each day and anything is possible, and...

I should go.

Goodbye my Maria.

Be couragious.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

What's wrong Leuteris? Why aren't you sleeping?

I'm thinking.

Go to sleep my boy. You're working now.

- You won't manage it without sleep. - I will.

Do you want to share your thoughts?

If you want us to stay with the president, I don't mind.

- Goodmorning! - What's up?

- Anything to predict doctor? - Nothing new Georgi.

We're on hold, as always.

Georgi, are you alright?

Tomorrow I'll bring you my daughter.

Your daughter?

We went to Heraklion a few days ago for exams.

She has the disease.

Kyritsis will tell you the details.

How's Maria?

I'm straight with this. I said, she must leave from here.

But it's not her that is ill. It's her sister.

Do you understand?

If mother and daughter had the disease,

that means that they have the leprosy running through their veins.

Alexander stop yelling!

Antrea... inform the doctor to come here to examine her.

- Tomorrow morning. - What should the doctor do?

She might be fine today, and got the disease the next day.

I said! Let her leave our place!

- Besides, I don't want her anymore! - Stop it!

Don't you mind our status to the society?

I do, but we must keep this a secret.

Our boy still loves her!

- We can't throw out our bride... - Stop it both of you!

Where are you going! Stay here!

I want you to promiss me that you won't stay too much alone.

Did you get any blanket?

They might not have any.

And you catch a cold easily.

I've talked to aunt Savina to go over there for lunch every other day.

Now that she's got the baby she spends a lot of hours in the house and want you to keep her company.

I like to stay alone.

But I can't bare the thought that you won't have anyone to look after you.

Don't worry about me. You should...

I took my herbs too.

- I might need them. - That's right daughter..

Do you want some more? Shall I clean it?

Whatever you need just say so.

And you'll have it the next day.

Fish or meat.

Whatever you like.

I know father.

Pass me the bread Dimitre.

Kid, let somebody else to eat

Say that to Athena,

she emptied half of the platter in to Helectra's and her plate.

Shame on you!

Here Leuteris, I don't mind, you should have mines.

- No, I was just joking. - Ha ha ha!

So guys, I'm really happy that you're here

and brought happiness to me and my house.

We're just like a big family now.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

If this house could talk, it would have hundreds of stories to tell us.

When we first came in the island Leuteri, mrs Elpida and mr Petros were living here.

Yes, but when I came first in this Island, twenty years ago

this house was a ruin without roof.

I met Petro, we fell in love, and decided to live together.

Right here in this ruin, along with rats.

But as the time passed by, it became the most beautiful house in Spinalonga.

Since I lost him, this place couldn't fit me, and finally Nikos understood me,

he decided to come and stay here and give me today the greatest joy.

To see this house coming to life with all of you.

Well there's another one happy... that you're here.

Wake up Manolio!

Manolio!

Go to sleep to your place!

Can't you hear me?

Go home!

At dawn, when I will get to my father's boat to Spinalonga,

I want none of you to be there.

Say this to everyone.

Understand Photeini?

Don't cry for me!

God will help me to stand on my feet.

Don't cry!

Don't feel sorry for me!

I have so much love in my buggages...

to keep me company forever.

I want you to smile when you think of me.

And know that we're not far away.

I love you all!

I don't want to say goodbye.

My thought will be always by your side.
