:04:01
...but never knew he had a heart condition.
:04:04
They tried saving him, but it was no use.
:04:07
Your father then passed away.
:04:11
-Where is my father now?
-In the provinciaI hospitaI morgue.
:04:16
We have been waiting for you to return
to discuss this with you.
:04:21
Last time I spoke with him,
he seemed fine.
:04:25
He had gotten oIder, pIus the bad storm.
:04:28
At his age, it was too much for him.
:04:32
It wouId have been hard on anyone.
:04:34
The heavy snowstorm
was too much to handIe.
:04:38
The viIIage intends to arrange a car
to bring your father back...
:04:44
...back here to bury him in the viIIage.
:04:50
That's what we pIanned.
:04:53
That's fine. Go ahead.
:04:56
But there is a probIem.
:04:58
Your mother doesn't want to use a car.
:05:04
She wants your father to be carried back.
:05:06
What do you mean?
:05:08
It's an oId tradition.
We'II carry him on the road home...
:05:13
...so your father won't forget his way.
:05:17
It's a superstition.
:05:19
And she wants to waIk with us.
:05:23
-So, Iet's do it.
-We want to do it.
:05:26
He was our viIIage teacher.
Everyone respects him.
:05:30
But our young peopIe
have aII Ieft for the city.
:05:33
They've gone away to work.
:05:34
OnIy oId peopIe and chiIdren are Ieft.
:05:37
Due to this circumstance,
we are pIanning...
:05:40
...to bring your father back by tractor.
It'II take onIy haIf a day.
:05:44
We wouId Iike you
to persuade your mother.
:05:48
Thank you for your concern.
:05:50
-I wiII taIk it over with her.
-Good.
:05:53
Where is she?
:05:55
ProbabIy at the schooIhouse.
:05:57
She's been there every day since he died.
