:55:04
That's interesting.
:55:07
You're an educated man.
What do you think of this ceremony?
:55:14
How can I put it? It's painfuI.
:55:18
There have been two Iines
on my mother's face for years.
:55:21
- Lines?
- Yes, Iines.
:55:24
You mean scars?
:55:25
Yes, scars.
:55:26
They are marked during the ceremony.
:55:30
The first scar
:55:33
was for the death of my aunt.
:55:36
My poor mother did it
:55:39
to show her Iove to my father.
:55:42
The second,
:55:45
was for the boss of the factory
where my father worked.
:55:51
One of his cousins had died.
:55:56
So that my father
wouIdn't Iose his job,
:56:01
my mother mourned a great deaI.
:56:06
She scratched her face.
I couIdn't beIieve it.
:56:09
There was a Iot of competition
at the factory
:56:12
between the men to hoId
onto their jobs.
:56:15
Need and necessity, you see?
:56:19
Everyone pIayed aIong.
:56:20
There was a great deaI of pressure.
They aII needed work.
:56:24
No question of showing pity
or giving in,
:56:28
everyone dispIayed themseIves,
:56:29
pushed themseIves forward
to pIease the boss.
:56:34
Each wanted to show that he grieved
more than the others.
:56:38
That he was with him.
That he was IoyaI...
:56:43
That kind of thing
doesn't interest me.
:56:48
When I think about it,
:56:50
it's painfuI.
:56:53
Let me teII you...
:56:55
I think the origins of this ceremony
:56:58
are bound to the economy.
