When I was 13, I went,
as you know...
1:17:10
...with my mother,
my brothers and sisters...
1:17:13
...- one sister was younger than I,
just like a little brother...
1:17:18
...on a big fishing boat...
1:17:23
...to an unknown place: Malta.
1:17:30
My father, your grandfather...
1:17:32
...who was persecuted by the Bourbons
after the revolution of 1848...
1:17:36
...stayed there in exile.
1:17:39
We were to join him there.
1:17:49
Didn't you forget something?
- Yes, the pussy cat.
1:17:55
Quiet, quiet, they will know.
1:18:20
Exile means tears and fear
for a mother.
1:18:25
Deprives the children of their
home and playthings.
1:18:28
That was what exile meant.
1:18:31
But is was the journey by sea as well.
1:18:33
...with the red sail...
the huge void around us.
1:18:38
And the childish pride
That, faced with adversity...
1:18:41
a child, dressed in black, can say:
"I am mourning."
1:18:46
As if it was a privilege.
1:18:49
Exile is also our bravery...
1:18:53
...of having to face new things...
1:18:56
...with a fixed gaze.
