What is this?

Feb!

Feb.

Feb, come on, let's go!

Five more minutes, Mom.

No, no, let's go.

Please!

No, I wanna be there before dark.

I have to work tomorrow.

Come on.

Mom!

Look, Feb, so beautiful.

Looks like Minecraft.

Oh, come on, Feb.

I don't get it.

You see me once a year.

Why can't we just stay at the beach?

You know, spend some mom/son quality time together.

Look, I have to work.

I love my work.

I am passionate about my research

and about the indigenous people.

And that's something I want you to understand

about me, okay?

Whatever.

Goal!

We're never gonna find it, Mom.

But I have a secret weapon.

You'll see.

Okay.

Uh-huh.

Ah, okay.

It's okay, go, you'll be fine.

I'll take you down!

What's wrong with you?

Was God drunk when He created you?

You wanna play, huh?

You wanna play?

God, you're so ugly, it burns my eyes!

You wanna fight?

Come on!

Come fight me, come fight me,

come fight me!

Agh!

Ah, that hurt.

Thank you.

Like I'm gonna eat it.

I thought you wanted to help them.

I am.

I'm helping them by writing about their culture.

Okay.

What?

- Why? - Nothing.

I just don't see how this could help them.

Why are you constantly trying to undermine my work?

You're just like your father.

Whatever.

Can I go home now?

Yeah.

Okay.

Esmeralda.

Esmeralda.

Esmeralda.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, look!

Pizza Hut!

Well, I'm glad I got to show you my office.

That was when I was working with the BriBri then.

And this one...

That's me with the three caciques at a Guna Congress

in Panama.

Wow.

You really work a lot of indigenous.

Well, I think they're misunderstood.

Do you think you understand them?

I try to go beyond the simple description

of their culture and traditions, but...

it's hard.

Sometimes I wonder if they understand themselves.

Well, gotta go back to work.

Why don't you go and see if you like the festival.

Mm-mm, no.

Wow.

Feb, are you okay, honey?

Can you walk? Are you okay?

- Does this hurt? - A little.

- It's okay, Mom, it's okay. - Yeah?

I'll be right back, okay?

Hi, Dave.

It's me.

Yeah, he's... he's fine.

He's, um, he's asleep right now.

Yeah, I just, um...

I wanted to see if Feb could stay a little longer.

When does school start?

Okay.

Fine, um...

Dave?

How'd you do it?

How did you know you could raise Feb?

We were so young.

I was such a child, and...

I didn't know what I wanted out of life, I...

I didn't know how to be a mom, and...

I still don't know how to be a mom.

But I want to.

I want to be there for him, I...

I have to be there for him.

Yeah, I'm fine, I...

Look, I'll call you when we get back to San Jose, okay?

Okay.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Mom.

Do you know that Grun Grun

tried to attack the chicks,

but the mother protected the chicks

and hit Grun Grun really bad?

That's... that's normal, Feb.

You know, mama chicken will always defend her chicks.

Look, I'm... I'm here with Esmeralda,

and she told me all about your friendship.

You are friends, right?

Mm-hm.

And what kind of games do you play together?

Um, we play at the river.

We make stone statues.

Oh, and we play with animals.

Well, you know, she told me you guys kissed.

What?

Why is she lying all the time?

She's so stupid!

I thought you liked her.

As a friend, but she doesn't like me.

Okay, um, sweetie,

did you have any family planning,

sex education classes at school?

Yes.

From third grade to seventh grade.

What do you think about it?

I don't know.

It's weird.

Yeah.

It's weird, honey.

Okay, just go back to playing with your chickens.

Bye, Mom.

Esmeralda?

Wee!

Yeah, I thought you wanted to help them.

You wanted to help them.

You think you understand them?

I just don't see how this could help them.

You... them?

Esmeralda!

Esmeralda!

Brave men of yesterday,

sons of Abya Yala,

friends of justice,

lovers of freedom,

defenders of life....

come back from beyond.

Your fury spilled over the invader,

as felines before the aggressor.

Come back, innocent beasts,

return, human beasts...

Return from beyond.

Let the memories resuscitate...

let the knowledge revive...

may those return who never die!

May those return

who never die.
