:20:00
I returned a year later.
:20:02
I'll write to tell her
of her brother's death.
:20:06
If she's alive,
she'll claim the inheritance.
:20:09
She's the heiress.
:20:11
- Not much to inherit.
- I don't agree.
:20:14
The house is still in good shape.
:20:17
Plus fiifty olive trees
from before the war.
:20:20
They're sick! They're dying out!
:20:23
They just need a tickle
with the pickax.
:20:26
Sure. Then they'll die laughing.
:20:29
It never rains on that land.
:20:32
You hear the storms,
you see the storms...
:20:34
but before the clouds get there,
they split up...
:20:38
and it pours on the other side.
:20:40
- The valley side only gets some drops.
- Maybe so.
:20:45
You may not know
Bouffiigue's land has a spring.
:20:50
- It had a tiny spring.
- No, it was a beauty!
:20:54
When I was a kid
my dad showed it to me.
:20:57
It seemed like a river to me.
:21:00
Either you were tiny,
or it had just rained...
:21:03
because when I saw it 30 years ago,
it was as thin as my fiinger.
:21:08
Could a spring like that disappear?
:21:11
I know all about springs.
:21:13
They're like pretty girls.
Neglect them, and they're gone.
:21:18
Last year I saw a fiig tree there.
That proves there's water.
:21:22
- There was water.
- But there are new shoots!
:21:25
You know about mixing drinks,
but you know nothing about springs.
:21:29
I say this one is dry!
:21:31
I say the olive trees are dead
and the soil is rotten!
:21:36
And I say I wouldn't take that land
if you gave it to me!
:21:50
I haven't written for years.
:21:53
- To whom are you writing?
- To Grafiignette.
:21:57
Who's that?
:21:59
You don't know her.
She left before you were born.
