LITTLE SECRET

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

SANTA CATRINA - BRAZIL

C’mon, it’s time!

It’s still early.

- I’m gonna sleep some more.
- Come on. I wanna go swimming.

Let’s go, mommy! Come on, please!

You’re going to stay here.
I’ll lock you up!

[Heloísa narrating]
Many people are afraid of the sea.

I've chosen to live in it.

Living with no corners.

Free to go wherever I want.

I, Vilfredo, our children...

our Kat.

Here, she has the whole world,

and I have her.

Because now, Kat is my world.

However, she needs dry land,

and if many people are afraid of the sea,

today I fear dry land.

But not for me.

Let’s go, Kat. You’ll be late.

Mommy?

Yes, honey. What is it?

Oh, nothing.

Kat? Honey.

Kat?

Five, six, turn.

Seven, eight. Plié.

And one, two, three,

four, grand plié.

Five, six, seven.

Very good, Sofia.

And one, two,

three, four. Back straight, Kat.

Five, six, seven, eight, plié.

One, two, three,

four, turn, five, six, seven.

That's it. Very good.

Listen up, girls.

We’ll have three solos
and five group choreographies.

All those who want to do a solo,

tell me so we can begin rehearsal and...

Alright!

All of you prepare solos
over the next weeks

and then I’ll pick three.

Dear diary,

I must write a list of
resolutions for this year.

So, here it goes.

getting the choreography down pat.

telling Julio how I feel.

taking my vitamins
so I can grow big and strong.

Look how big she is.

A real fatso!

find out who that big girl is.

Five...

- She fell.
- What happened?

Is everything alright?

Don't touch me!

[Announced over radio]
Belem in Pará, Brazil.

Girl.

Hmm?

I know you.

What’s wrong?

I don’t know, Sheila.

I think this boat
is going to the wrong place.

Tch!

Why you so down in the dumps?

Just dreaming all day.

You should be happy, look,
like that gringo over there.

He doesn’t look all that happy.

Yes.

I think it's going to be prime in there.

Thank you.

I think it's going to be
one rig here,

and move another one further down,
which will be just around here.

I really don't care
how you feel about my job.

I have the right
to do whatever I please with my life

And if that mean's
having an ocean between us,

even better.

Why do you try to control my life.

I really like this place,

and I'm happy with my choices.

Good morning, thank you.

Hi, good morning, how are you?

Good morning.

New Zealand.

Pacific Ocean, near Australia.

It's a long, long way away.

Keep the change. Thank you!

You following me, gringo?

Sorry.

Sorry.

What’s your name?

Jeanne.

Come on, Kat. You’ll be late.

I’ll wait for you all outside girls.

OK.

We could see if the guys want to go too.

Could be.

You’ll invite Paulinho?

Of course.

I'll continue my list.

Five.

Learning how to walk in high heels.

Six.

Proving to all those
stuck-up girls that I can, too.

And last,

my first kiss.

Hey, Kat, what’s that?

What’s it supposed to hold?

Not for holding back your mother, Sofia.

Which reminds me,

you find out who your father is yet?

AUCKLAND - NEW ZEALAND

6 AM going on the sports news.

We had a New Zealander that just
went over and cleaned up the Aussies,

and uh, on the wind surfing nationals,

and once more he's 44 years old.

So uh, he's in fine form

and he actually just won
Australia nationals held in Brisbane

Just in Botnay Bay.

Oh for God's sake!

Dammit.

Good morning my darling.

Jeanne? Jeanne!

Hi.

You look beautiful.

What’s that?

A present.

Comes from New Zealand.

It’s beautiful, Robert.

The Maori...

the Indians there make them.

Out of jade

and whalebone.

They kill the whales to make them?

No.

They die stranded on the beach.

Right.

Hey!

Got new things at the store,
girls, drop on by.

Isn’t love beautiful!

- More?!
Sheila, my queen.

It’s your turn now.

Hey, pink shape-shifting dolphin,
try taking her out to dance, too.

Pink shape-shifting dolphin.

Today you’re going to dance.

For sure.

Just a bit.

- Look, Sheila, he’s dancing.
- Way to go!

It’s like this, look. Put your hand here.

- Here.
- Here?

- Here.
- Here?

And then go back and forth.

Back, and forth.

Back and forth. Relax.

[Jeanne in Brazilian Portuguese
Tell me more about from where you come.

Does it have rivers?

Yes, there’re rivers.

The sea and everyone has a boat.

Just like here.

Oh yeah. No.

And what’s your boat’s name?

Why you ask?

Because a boat’s name
can tell a lot about the owner.

I don’t have one yet.

But I will,

to travel around the world.

Me and you.

Me and you?

- Around the world?
Yes. Yes.

Looks great.

But, they’re still so small.

They’ll develop, and we’ll come back

and buy another larger one.

I was just like you
when I was young. Thin.

Everyone used to call me Olive Oyl.

And look at me now.

You look beautiful.

First bra?

You’re so tiny.

How old are you?

- Twelve.
- Twelve?

So tiny.

I think you’re only nine.

No, I’m twelve.

Twelve.

And you, how old are you?

Me? Almost fifty.

- Well, you look more like sixty.
-[Heloísa] Let’s go, honey.

Will, it's ready.

Did you call him?

Please, don't start.

It was up to him.

It's his life. He had his reasons.

It's not just his life.

Will.

Will.

Get up you lazy slug.

Will, Will, wake up.

Hmm?

Will?

Will.

Barbara.

Barbara.

Oh, yes?

We were able to stop
his internal bleeding.

Oh good.

Thank you, John.

I'm assuming he's still taking his meds.

Well, you know
he doesn't like taking them,

but I have my ways
of getting them into him.

Unfortunately,
they are not helping him anymore.

What?

My dear Robert,

I hope you're well.

I would like to say
the same is true for me,

but, well I'd be lying.

Your, to say the least,
erratic way of life

is affecting me in a way that,

quite honestly, well but,
it's slowly killing me.

Hey.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

So have you been enjoying your day off?

Yea.

I just came to give you my answer.

Already?

I'm going.

Don't you need more time to think?

Aren't you engaged?

No. Not anymore.

Hey, girl.

I found a magazine filled
with wedding gowns.

One better than the next...

He's leaving.

Jeanne!

I’m not leaving. Jeanne?

Jeanne!

Jeanne!

[Robert, frantic] Jeanne! Jeanne!

Surgery now.

We must stop the bleeding, OK?

It looks like she’s in shock.

I called for surgery,

and she’ll probably be
needing paracentesis.

What’s her name.

Jeanne!

One, two, three.

Quick. The patient is in shock.

Increase Ringer solution infusion.

Check blood pressure and heart beat.

Good.

Good.

Very nice.

Very nice, Kat.

OK then, girls.

As the choreography will have
this floating-like quality to it,

we will use Peter Pan as inspiration.

And who’s going to do the solos?

Yeah, right, the solos.

You were all very good.

Congratulations,

I really appreciated your dedication,

but three of you stood out.

Which doesn’t mean that
the others weren’t good,

but there are only three solos

and I’ve come to a decision.

Sofia, you’ll be Peter Pan, OK?

Larissa, you’ll be Wendy, right?

And Tinker Bell

will be Kat.

Kat? You serious?

Very serious, why?

Carlinha was much better.

Carlinha was very good, no doubt.

But did you see how Kat danced?

But, what about technique?

Sofia, you have to learn that
dancing isn’t only technique.

Luana, let’s do our
geography report together?

That’d be great.

Come on.

I’ll show you my favorite place.

Where?

A hiding place.

It’s real cool.

What’s wrong with your leg anyway?

It’s because I grew up in a boat.

And so I met lots of pirates

and once one of them liked me so much

that he transformed me into a pirate, too.

And gave me a wooden leg.

- I'll bet.
- You're the best, Luana.

You like it?

Uh uh.

No, really,

the truth is that I’ve had
hepatitis since I was a baby.

And hepatitis gives you a wooden leg?

I guess so.

Yeah, but even though you’re a pirate

you got the solo in the play, didn’t you?

Yeah, but it could go wrong. I might fall.

But pirates have sea legs.

They sure do.

What are you doing Saturday?

[Jeanne, frustrated] No need.

I’ll always be sorry.

Leave me alone, Robert.

[Heloísa] Luana’s here.

Look, Luana.

- Hi, Luana.
- Hi.

You have to take off your shoes.

OK.

I’ll take them. Welcome aboard.

- Thank you.
- Hello, honey. Welcome.

- What’s that?
- It’s the wheel.

You know how to use it?

Yeah.

- Ever since I’ve been three.
- Really?

Everyone in my family knows how.

I just don’t do it alone

when the wind’s too strong
because it's too heavy.

But, if I have to, I can
take us all the way to China.

Really?

Uh uh, you just have to look at the stars.

You swear?

Well, more or less something like that.

It must be cool to go to China.

But, I don’t want to go.

Because I told my mother
we weren’t going anywhere.

OK, but I wrote in my diary

that you were going to go sailing with us.

So today doesn’t count.

So, the next time we can go.

You keep your eyes on the stars

and I’ll steer the boat with my muscles.

But, hold on,
let’s put some life into this.

Now we have a real party.

You call this banana.

"Nana Mahama", Luana.

Like "Hakuna Matata"?

Something like that.

Heloisa made it up.

[Heloísa] The sun is part of our life.

It deserves a special thanks.

You do this every day?

No. Just once a week, Luana?

Oh, that makes sense.

The boat’s about to leave!

Stop following me around, Robert.

I...

I leave when things get complicated.

That's what I do.

Why do you think I came to Brazil?

I tried to leave a life I didn’t want,

but...

but it comes after me,
and then I leave again.

But I'm not going to do that anymore.

I'm not going to let anyone,

or anything separate us again.

Why?

Anyone want to separate us?

Because we're from two different worlds.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

I love you.

Do you remember when you said

that the name of a boat
says a lot about the owner.

Do you want to know
what I've called our boat?

You sure there’s only two more days left?

Yeah.

Want to turn around?

Nah.

Turning around is four days

against the wind.

Right, the seas were unbelievable.

And how were the winds?

Mate, they were great.
14 days we got here.

Fantastic.

Perfect.

That's good.

[Will, cheerful] Indy!

Dad! Mom.

Excited you could come.

Robert.

- Hey Dad!
- How are you?

Mom, Dad,

- this is Jeanne.
- Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Jeanne, It's an honor to meet you.

Thank you.

Come on board. Come on.

Thank you.

Help her, Robert.

Oh, you're out of jail, are you?

So Jeanne, we were wondering
how did you get Robert to settle down.

You know, make him a serious man.

- Brazilian magic.

Magic, I'll say.

More like voodoo.

Barbara, your son's
really picked a lovely woman.

She's beautiful.

I'm so happy to see you back home, Indy.

Indy? Who is Indy?

It's Robert.

We call him Indy,
because he is our Indiana Jones.

Our explorer.

Except the real Indy
knew not to mess with the native girls.

[Will, disparagingly] Barbara.

You're going to love it here.

We're not staying, Dad.
We're just passing through.

What? I thought you were home for good.

What? You mean you just came to show off
your native girlfriend,

and now you're going frolicking

- back to the jungle?
My English is bad.

- Barbara please!
Oh, shut up!

It's fine, Dad.
It doesn't affect me anymore.

We're here for a visit,

and I have an announcement to make.

Now?

Yeah.

Jeanne's pregnant.
We're going to have a baby.

That's fantastic.

That's wonderful.

- I need a drink.
- What would you like, Mom?

Something cold and alcoholic?

- Anything.
- Yep, that's what I figured.

Might not be strong enough,
but I'm sure you'll drink enough.

Oh, stop it.

That's good, eh?

This why you came back,

to hurt me and humiliate me
in front of everyone?

If me telling you you're going
to be a grandma is suppose to hurt you,

that's not my problem, Mom.

That's not it and you know it.
It's the way you did it.

Provoke me, humiliate me.

Now you're running away
like you always did.

I'm not running away.

Not anymore.

I'm just traveling with my wife,

and I wanted her to meet my parents.

- Your wife?
- Yeah.

Listen, I understand she's
a very pretty girl. I'll grant you that,

and naturally she wants
to go back to the jungle where she...

You stop it.

I'm not discussing it with you.
You can be happy for me or not.

I really don't care what you think, Mom.

Robert, I really need you
to come back here and to stay.

It's your dad. He's very, very sick.

He's got a tumor.

It's inoperable.

Are you smoking?

Can't believe
you're that stupid. Let's go.

Wait. I have to say goodbye.

I already did that for you.

Jeanne seems like
a great girl, doesn't she?

Oh, I know exactly
what kind of girl she is.

She's just looking for attention.

She want's everbody at her feet

doing exactly what she wants them to do.

Leave them alone.

- Well, at least he's staying.
- What?

Did you tell him about me?

Oh, throw that
cigarette away. You're sick.

[Recorded English Lesson]
Now,

Mary's dream is to become a ballerina.

Mary Stream is to become a ballerina.

Well done.

Fafa! Fafa!

[Server in English]
It's your favorite flavor today.

Favorite flavor, uh,
I wonder if you can guess.

- Yeah, Hokey Pokey. I know.
- Yeah.

Jeanne is hungry.

- How's your wife, though, good?
- She's good.

- There you go.
- Yeah, she's great.

Thank you. bye bye. See ya.

- You have a good day.
- You too.

Bye.

Hey!

Hello, good morning!

Aysso! Anybody home?

- Hi!
- Hi!

Brazilian?

Do I look like a Brazilian?

My wife’s gonna adore hearing that.

- It’ll make her day.
- Nice meeting you. Vilfredo.

But everyone calls me Captain.

These are my kids.

Ah, Vilfredo. These your boys?

What's up? What's up?

Wow, she's amazing.

Thank you.

Want me to take over?

I’ve got my gloves on.

Can I try?

Oh, I just don’t know
how long I can take it.

Your brothers learned to steer the boat

when they were your age.

[Heloísa] Hi, honey, you warm enough?

Yeah, mommy.

Dad, take over.

Right, mommy’s arrived.

Warm me up.

[Heloísa] Where’s Ursa Maior?

Ah, very good.

And Ursa Baby?

There is no Ursa Baby.

Yes there is, can’t you see it?

Look alongside

those two small stars there, you see?

They’re his ears.

And then lower down,
you have those other two

which is Ursa Baby’s feet, you see?

They’re not in my astronomy book.

Ah but,

that’s because they’ve just appeared.

Astronomers are still studying them.

They just discovered them, right?

Orion.

Yeah, and his belt.

When I die I’m going there.

Who said you’re going to die?

Well, everyone dies someday.

My stomach gets hard sometimes.

Yeah.

She kicks down below, a bit, it’s...

This little girl here.

- Growing fast, huh?
- Yeah.

There’s a big difference
from one week to the next.

Grows in leaps and bounds.

They all know back home?

Yeah. They know.

- My mother was...
- You get homesick?

For sure! Real homesick.

- I miss them a lot.
- Yeah.

It’s like that in the beginning,

you get used to it later,
it gets better, right?

Yeah.

Robert goes on a lot of trips,

because of his job, and then...

Heloísa had always talked
about making our dreams come true

and somehow believed in that.

That's what we did.

I always imagined
sailing around the world.

Then I get married,
and have a couple kids.

Then I met Jeanne,

and I knew she was the one.

You’ll make friends over time.

We’ll be staying here
for a while, a couple months,

before going to Fiji.

I can be your Brazilian family.

- I’d love that.
- Yeah?

But, under one condition.

I want to help decorate the baby’s room.

- Okay?
- Okay.

All my kids are grown already,

it’ll be great starting over again.

Fixing up the room, the details.

- Yeah, and it’s a girl.
- A girl!

Honey.

I missed rehearsal.

No problem. I talked with Mila.

She said there wasn’t
any problem at all, OK?

I’d like to fill you in
on a couple things.

Let’s go over here, so we can talk.

So, Doctor, you were saying...

Well, the results for the new
tests revealed alterations.

I think we should start
a new kind of treatment,

this one isn’t working anymore.

But she, she seemed to be doing so well.

It’s just that sometimes
patients develop a certain

tolerance for the medication
and we must change them,

look for something different.

Amoxicillin, multivitamins. Anything else?

- No, that’s it. Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Helô?
- Hi, Elaine.

- Everything OK?
- Fine, and you?

Fine, too.

Sofia told me that Kat is sick.
Is everything alright?

Yeah. It was just
a strong cold, that’s all.

Oh, nothing serious then, huh?

No.

Because Sofia told me that
Kat missed class five days

just this last month,

or else had to leave early. I got worried.

Yeah, she hurt her knee.

You know how girls are, right?

Well, you know you can count
on me for anything you need.

I know, I’m sure I can.
Thank you so much, Elaine.

She’ll soon be back in school.

- See you later. Bye.
- Kisses. For Kat too.

It’s good you’re here,
help me get this sail up.

What? Has Kat gotten worse?

No. She’ll be better soon.

What is it then?

I think that...

I think we should take her out of school.

You see. She doesn’t need
to go through this.

They exclude her.

For God’s sake, Heloísa,
it’s part of growing up,

everybody goes through that.

A girl’s got pimples,
the others start hassling her.

If she’s too thin, they call her Q-tip,

- that’s the way it is.
- It wasn’t like that with the boys.

They were on the boat at this age.

They could have gone,
and we didn't even know.

I had to know what was going on with her.

I take care of her,

I take her to the hospital and all.

I had to know what was going on,

what she needed.

Exactly why you have to listen to me.

Since you don’t let anyone
help you with these things,

you must hear me out.

Now I’m the one who won’t
let you take care of Kat?

As if you'd love having to deal with it.

Stop trying to be right about
everything regarding Kat.

Wasn't meeting Luana a good thing?

It was great.
But what about the other kids?

What they do to her is horrible.

I’m fed up with it all.

And it’ll be even worse
when they find out what she has.

- Take it easy.
- She doesn’t deserve that.

And this Sofia, who used to be her friend,

where is she now?

And there’s this Julio,
who isn’t interested in her

and never will be.

Yes he will!

[Heloísa, surprised] Kat!

I have my ballet presentation
and I’m going to dance.

You don’t know anything.

Just how to go snooping
in other people’s things.

She won't be able to reach it.

Ohh, but she’ll see it.

Hold it a second.

Yeah, about one palm high. Here.

Barbara, how are you?

Ha! So nice to hear you
speaking better English.

Where's Robert? Is he here?

Jeanne,
you have any string for us to... Hi.

This is Robert’s mother.

Yes...

Robert? Robert?

There you are. You're back.

I thought Jeanne was bringing
her friend's without telling you.

- Is she Brazilian?
- Yes.

Yes, she's from Brazil.

You know, Jeanne can bring
in whoever she wants, Mom. It's her home.

Oh...

She's not her family.

No, we are just friends.

Nice to meet you by the way. I'm Heloísa.

I'm so sorry.
I didn't think you spoke English. Haha!

Where are you from, dear?

Uh, you're obviously
not the same tribe as her. I can tell.

No, our tribe is from Florianópolis.

Oh, haha!

Why are you here, Mom?

I just wanted to see my son.

Do I need a reason for that?

Well, just be nice, OK?

These are our friends.
My Brazilian family.

The Schurmanns.

Oh? Schurmanns?

Well, that certainly is a different tribe.

Oh, you have a cook?

No, he's my husband.

Well, well, Vilfredo.

Oh...

Well, what are you cooking, Alfredo?
It smells delicious.

It's called, "Macarrão Capitão".

Well, I'm going
to have to try some of that, aren't I?

Oh, please, be my guest.
Come on, you're going to try.

Boys, dinner is ready!

OK, girls.

Enough for today, you’re dismissed.

Kat, could I talk to you?

Come here.

Tell me, is everything alright?

You seem a bit absentminded.
You still want to do the solo?

If you don’t feel like it,

- No.
- it isn’t a problem.

I want to.

I’ll concentrate more, I promise.

OK, honey.

Remember that dancing
isn’t everything in life, OK?

- If you have to stop...
- No, there's no need.

Everything’s alright.

OK, then. You can go.

[Jeanne narrating in Brazilian Portuguese]
Dear, Heloisa, I miss you guys so much.

Today something incredible happened.

A whale got stranded on the beach.

It was so beautiful and so strong,

but it was sad to see it couldn’t
do anything to save itself.

I tried to help.

I think it was too much effort,

the baby kicked hard like never before.

And then I understood.

She was trying to tell me
that she’ll be by my side forever.

Barbara!

EMERGENCY

Relax, we're almost there.

It's going to be alright.
Everything's going to be alright.

- Robert.
- Yes, yes.

Where is Robert?

I think Robert is going to Wellington.

We don't need him for now,
we have two doctors here.

Jeanne?

My love?

I'm here.

I arrived.

Are you OK?

Hi.

She's hungry.

She's got the hiccups.

Her skin is so fair.

And I can see some blonde hairs.

That's good that she looks more like us.

Give her to me, Mom.

Careful, now. Careful.

Careful.

Sh, sh, sh, sh...

My love.

Everything’s alright.

Everything’s alright. Daddy is here.

She’s so beautiful.

I love you.

And her name,

did you decide...?
Did you decide which one you like best?

Katarine.

SORRY FOR TREATING YOU LIKE A BABY.

AND YES, YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT!

I LOVE YOU, MOMMY.

I’m going to tell him how I feel.

Uh oh...

What? You think I should be scared?

That I don’t have to try?

We must follow our dreams.

It's the only way it happens.

At least, if it doesn’t,
I’ll be happy I tried.

OK, take it easy. Forget what I said.

Mommy, why did you lie to me?

What do mean? I didn't lie to you?

Yes you did!

These aren’t vitamins, it’s medicine.

I have the right to know what I have.

I didn’t lie to you, Kat.

- I was going to...
- You did.

Look.

I was waiting for the right moment.

Kat, wait. Kat.

Stay a while longer,
for us to talk more later.

Thank you.

Nice seeing you.

TEN YEARS AT SEA.

Can I get an autograph

from my Brazilian friends?

Robert! Robert.

Well I’ll be...

[Heloísa] And this little girl? Just look.

- Kat.
- I’m Aunt Heloísa.

Oh, she's so beautiful.

Even more than in the pictures.

Where's Jeanne? Why didn't she come?

She's umm...

What?

[Heloísa in Brazilian Portugues] Honey.

Mommy.

Look at me.

Kat, I was going to tell you.

I was just waiting for the right moment.

For you to be old enough
to understand it all.

OK, so tell me now.

Do you remember when I told you

about your mother’s accident?

That she was run over?

Well, she lost a lot of blood
in the accident.

And when she went to the hospital

they had to give her a transfusion

to save her life.

At the time of the accident,

Jeanne received

contaminated blood.

And when Kat was one,

she started getting sick.

So we took her in for test,

and one doctor examined her...

HIV.

What is HIV?

It’s a virus that can

lead to a disease called AIDS.

But isn’t AIDS that disease
that can’t be cured?

I don't know how long we have.

Mommy.

Am I going to die?

[Heloísa] Honey,

I’ve always told you
that everyone dies one day.

But we have to think about life, right?

We’ve been taking care of you
since you were very young.

You take your medication, you’re strong.

You’re beautiful.

And who knows about this?

Just dad, your brothers,
the doctors, nobody else.

We didn’t want

anyone to know

so they wouldn’t treat you differently.

- They already do that.
- I know.

But, if I could,
I’d do anything to change that.

Promise me,

you won’t tell anybody
that I know the secret?

But why?

Because I want to tell them myself.

I promise.

- I love you, you hear?
- I love you, too.

Come on, lane 2!

Lane 1.

I have to tell you something.

- What?
- A secret.

But you can’t tell anyone.

OK, tell me then!

Go, Luana!

What do you mean?

Kat, Luana!

You can’t tell anyone,

not even your mother.

- I have a surprise for you.
- What is it?

Close your eyes.

[Heloísa playfully with Kat] Wee!

I made her some food.

Food for her?

Yeah, and now...
and now she’s going to burp.

She’s got to sleep now, so tired.

Robert.

I know this isn’t very easy.

I’ll leave you alone.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT.

Tiny butterfly, tiny butterfly ♪

Tiny butterfly ♪

Kat.
- Tiny butterfly ♪

now there are two.

One day, I hope
you understand why I've done this.

Give it for him.

I think he's thirsty.

Robert.

I could look after her.

I could.

Kat has been with them for 10 years.
She was legally adopted.

Are you telling me that
there's absolutely nothing that I can do?

I've looked at this
from every angle, Barbara.

There's really nothing I can do.

My son was sick.

Sick in his head when he gave her away.

I can see that this
is hopeless with you. Hopeless!

Hello?

Who's there?

Who the hell are you?

Are you all right?

What are you doing here?

This is my boat.

No, this is Robert's boat.

Robert.

I bought this boat from Robert years ago.

Well, Robert's dead.

Good morning,
a beautiful day over the Auckland area...

What are you looking at?

They already here?

Mommy is worse than an ant. I’ll get it.

Grandmother?

Hello Katherine.

This is for you. Happy Birthday.

Thank you.

Come in.

Thank you.

Oh...

Uh... that's Luana, my best friend.

Oh?

Hello.

She’s my grandmother, from New Zealand.

Where is Heloísa and Vilfredo?

They will be back soon.
They are at the market.

Oh...?

Well good.

Well.

[Kat, curiously] You came for my birthday?

Oh sweetheart, as a matter of fact,

I came for you.

How would you like
to spend some time with your grandmother?

- Hmm?
- What do you mean?

Well I want you to come
and live with me in New Zealand.

Now, they've had you long enough.

It's time for me to have you now.

- This one?
- Take the pink one.

Hi, honey.

What? What do you mean?

Stay right there.

- We’re on our way, OK?
What’s wrong?

We have to leave, right now, come on.

[Heloísa upset] Barbara!

- Oh, hello.
What's going on?

What do you mean?

I know you're here to take Kat away.

Yes, that's right.

Are you crazy? You been drinking?

Now, no need for your Latin melodrama.

What?

You come into my house

and tell my daughter
she's leaving with you?

What are you thinking?

She's been with you too long.

She's my granddaughter.
I have a right to be with her.

No, Kat is not
a thing you can give and take away.

She was born a Watson-Woods,

not a Schurmann. She belongs with me.

She's my daughter.

And I want to be a part of her life.

I've always invited you to come here,

to be a part of it, but you never did.

She's my flesh and blood.

My son was crazy
when he gave her away to you.

No, no. He knew what he was doing.

Have you wondered why
he didn't ask you to raise her?

You've no right to speak to me like that.

You don't even know me.

Yes, I know enough.

Especially,
how he suffered because of you.

He loved me,

and I want to look
after her the way I looked after him.

And I know that I can love her, too.

Yeah, love.

Do you know what love is?

Love is spending nights
with her on my lap,

because the shingles
on her back hurt so much

she can't lie down.

Love is sleeping
10 days on the floor next to her.

Afraid that she will die
of some diarrhea that won't go away.

Love is being her eyes
when she is unable to read

because of a side-effect of some medicine.

Love is taking her to see the world

knowing that she could die at any moment.

That's love.

Can you love her like that?

I've been there.

Yeah, my life with Kat

is measured by the number
of sunsets we watch together.

You see Barbara,

mine and hers.

So you spare me the drama.

But...

I can love her, too.

Yes,

so love her.

Yes.

Happy birthday to you. ♪

Make a wish.

And there’s brigadeiro.

Isabelle, get a glass, please.

Let me see.

[Heloísa] Just one thing is missing now.

She'd have liked you to wear this.

What is it Mommy?

Nothing.

You won't be my Tinker Bell anymore.

Soon, we’ll be making you
your 15th birthday dress

and then, no more little girl.

Don’t be silly, mom.

Let’s go. We’ll be late.

[Heloísa narrating]
You remember that day on the beach?

Now close your eyes a bit

and concentrate on your movements.

Forget everything else.

You look beautiful.
The loveliest of them all.

Attention, all moms.

Please, you can take your seats now.

Girls.

[Heloísa] It’ll all be perfect.

Shine.

[Heloísa narrating] Keep calm, OK?

Remember to breathe.

Breathe.

[Heloísa] Did I ever tell you about
what happened to me

the first time I went to Tahiti?

I don’t think so.

No?

Well, I became friends
with the natives there.

One day

they all brought me their daughters

to give one of them to me.

They wanted me to keep them.

Because they told me that every
woman needs to have a daughter,

to be with her,

to be her friend when she got older.

Good thing you didn’t accept, huh?

Good for me.

Look, time to see the sun go down.

Yeah, let’s watch.

Kat, it’s time. Let’s go?

[Heloísa narrating]
Now close your eyes a bit.

Concentrate on your movements,

let them take you away.

And when you open your eyes,

it won’t be hard anymore.

KAT LIVED INTENSELY
UNTIL SHE WAS 14 YEARS OLD

AND THEN, LIKE A BUTTERFLY,
WAS CARRIED AWAY BY A BREEZE.

- IN THE 90
- S, THE DIAGNOSIS AND
TREATMENT FOR AIDS WERE PRECARIOUS.

TODAY, WITH ADVANCES IN MEDICINE,

IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITH HIV
AND HAVE A LONG LIFE.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS THE BEST CHOICE.

FOR KAT, MY SISTER, AND HELOÍSA, MY MOTHER
