Spring 2017,[br]in the province of Florence,

0:00:31.759,0:00:35.699
life in Poggio alla Croce is turned upside[br]down by the announcement of the arrival

0:00:35.699,0:00:37.319
of a group of migrants.

0:00:37.319,0:00:40.939
Between fear, anger and indifference,[br]inhabitants are looking for a solution.

0:00:40.939,0:00:44.939
(Background music and kitchen noises)

0:01:56.660,0:02:05.189
I AM BECAUSE WE ARE

0:02:19.357,0:02:23.464
Piera, a resident in Poggio alla Croce

0:02:31.385,0:02:33.452
In these last few years a lot has changed

0:02:33.823,0:02:36.923
Things were different before

0:02:36.923,0:02:37.923
people were different

0:02:37.923,0:02:41.308
They often came into the centre.

0:02:41.308,0:02:44.658
Now they stay at home,

0:02:44.934,0:02:47.684
the village is less lived in.

0:02:48.398,0:02:52.231
Before we were all in my shop.

0:02:53.382,0:02:54.672
Most of the world,

0:02:54.672,0:02:57.107
most of life took place around it.

0:03:00.105,0:03:02.995
A place to meet, to understand each other,

0:03:02.995,0:03:05.405
maybe argue with different opinions

0:03:05.405,0:03:08.705
but still have a dialogue. It was easier

0:03:10.615,0:03:13.785
it was life... I mean it was life

0:03:56.082,0:03:57.880
Andreas, project creator

0:03:57.880,0:03:59.550
Poggio alla Croce could be defined

0:03:59.550,0:04:01.090
as “a small Switzerland”

0:04:02.235,0:04:04.875
Located in a beautiful spot

0:04:04.875,0:04:07.085
between Chianti and Valdarno

0:04:07.085,0:04:10.449
Residents are active and cooperative

0:04:10.449,0:04:15.589
In summer a nice festival is organized

0:04:15.589,0:04:18.373
attracting people from both valleys

0:04:18.373,0:04:22.373
When problems arise, like ice in winter,

0:04:22.373,0:04:25.583
informations flow over the internet.

0:04:25.583,0:04:28.979
Looked like and ideal place

0:04:28.979,0:04:33.769
Then in April 2017 the “bomb”:

0:04:33.769,0:04:37.161
thirty migrants coming in the “palace”,

0:04:37.161,0:04:40.881
a former hotel middle of village

0:04:40.881,0:04:43.681
It sounded as if a spaceship full

0:04:43.681,0:04:46.706
of little black men was about to land

0:04:46.706,0:04:49.120
(tense music)

0:05:15.806,0:05:18.686
Black men are coming, black men are coming

0:05:18.686,0:05:21.846
We are all with our hairs raised,

0:05:21.846,0:05:25.392
very worried, me too to be honest because

0:05:25.392,0:05:27.712
Even if you hear a lot of good

0:05:27.712,0:05:30.822
but also bad about these youngsters

0:05:30.822,0:05:33.959
The strongest reaction, intense and wide,

0:05:33.959,0:05:36.680
was an immediate refusal,

0:05:36.680,0:05:41.434
a “belly” reaction that caused

0:05:41.434,0:05:45.434
an immediate decision

0:05:45.434,0:05:47.764
to collect signatures against,

0:05:47.764,0:05:50.034
in less than three days

0:05:50.034,0:05:51.904
230 signatures were collected

0:05:51.904,0:05:54.022
even if we are some 190

0:05:54.022,0:05:55.886
Attilia, a teacher in migrants school

0:05:55.926,0:05:57.146
A first meeting was held

0:05:57.154,0:05:58.674
one and half year ago in summer

0:05:58.674,0:06:00.643
before the migrants arrived,

0:06:00.643,0:06:03.053
so we did not know them

0:06:03.053,0:06:06.018
They had no face for us, they had no name

0:06:08.939,0:06:10.649
I don’t live in Poggio alla Croce,

0:06:10.649,0:06:12.429
I come from a nearby village

0:06:12.429,0:06:14.723
During the meeting there were

0:06:14.723,0:06:18.834
some very aggressive people,

0:06:18.834,0:06:20.824
I guess they were sincerely scared

0:06:20.824,0:06:22.569
Martin, parson of Poggio alla Croce

0:06:22.569,0:06:24.963
Their reaction was not due to being bad.

0:06:24.963,0:06:28.213
Behind there was also a reality

0:06:28.213,0:06:30.513
that must be told. It must be told that

0:06:30.513,0:06:34.753
none was pepared because none

0:06:34.758,0:06:38.758
had been alerted that these foreigner,

0:06:38.758,0:06:41.842
these migrants were coming

0:06:41.842,0:06:45.842
Noise of iron hammering

0:06:49.393,0:06:51.303
Paolo, a resident in Poggio alla Croce

0:06:51.303,0:06:53.473
Someone started collecting signatures,

0:06:53.473,0:06:56.002
and I agreed only because I wanted to know

0:06:56.002,0:06:59.372
where would these kids be hosted,

0:06:59.372,0:07:01.872
what did they come for then it became

0:07:01.872,0:07:04.072
clear that this was not the reason

0:07:04.072,0:07:06.410
they did not want to welcome them

0:07:06.410,0:07:11.233
So I said my signature was extorted

0:07:11.233,0:07:13.863
and was not in agreement any more

0:07:13.863,0:07:15.713
Luana, a resident in Poggio alla Croce

0:07:15.713,0:07:16.443
They told us

0:07:16.443,0:07:18.573
in a year time we’ll remind you of this..

0:07:18.573,0:07:19.663
we are scared..

0:07:19.663,0:07:21.903
I have an 18months old little girl

0:07:21.903,0:07:24.903
who won’t be able to walk outside anymore

0:07:24.903,0:07:28.903
They asked us to sign against

0:07:28.903,0:07:30.503
but I refused

0:07:30.503,0:07:32.307
and became the black sheep...

0:07:32.791,0:07:36.791
They are simply black

0:07:36.791,0:07:41.191
and this is not easy to accept

0:07:41.191,0:07:44.381
Integration is not easy, not easy.

0:07:44.381,0:07:47.231
Also on their side

0:07:47.231,0:07:50.361
There was a bad feeling around,

0:07:50.361,0:07:51.896
an awful atmosphere

0:07:51.896,0:07:53.846
My legs trembled, really.

0:07:55.570,0:07:58.437
I recognized kids that I knew

0:07:58.437,0:08:00.578
when they were little children.

0:08:00.578,0:08:02.954
And now as grown ups they were scared

0:08:02.954,0:08:06.386
and said they did not want the migrants

0:08:06.386,0:08:09.589
because their life would change,

0:08:09.589,0:08:11.423
it would not be possible

0:08:11.423,0:08:13.444
anymore to go quietly around in Poggio.

0:08:13.444,0:08:16.920
No more walkabouts but they shouted

0:08:16.920,0:08:19.103
all this in a really aggressive way..

0:08:19.103,0:08:22.123
and I started to tremble and was unable

0:08:22.123,0:08:24.543
to tell what I meant,

0:08:24.543,0:08:28.874
that I felt very sorry to see children

0:08:28.874,0:08:31.892
who had grown up together and were

0:08:31.892,0:08:34.750
used to share… and I remember

0:08:34.750,0:08:37.090
there were also coloured children

0:08:37.090,0:08:39.090
in our classes and all played together

0:08:39.090,0:08:41.390
and had now become so

0:08:41.390,0:08:43.240
And now I was more scared of them

0:08:43.240,0:08:45.940
than of the incoming migrants.

0:08:45.940,0:08:48.110
I could sense a rage and violence

0:08:48.110,0:08:49.747
that really frightened me

0:08:49.747,0:08:53.747
(laundry noise)

0:09:50.465,0:09:53.577
When the spaceship with the little

0:09:53.577,0:09:56.974
black men had actually landed

0:09:56.974,0:09:59.544
we managed to organize

0:09:59.544,0:10:02.005
a first circle in a room under

0:10:02.005,0:10:04.769
the church that our parson Martin

0:10:04.769,0:10:06.923
put at our disposal

0:10:06.923,0:10:08.836
for the rest of the story

0:10:08.836,0:10:10.896
we organized a first circle

0:10:10.896,0:10:15.866
where we played,

0:10:15.866,0:10:18.200
by arranging ourselves on the chairs

0:10:18.200,0:10:20.241
in a completely random way,

0:10:20.241,0:10:22.071
so mixed up, a little bit of them and

0:10:22.071,0:10:23.234
a little bit of us.

0:10:23.234,0:10:25.974
We sticked a piece of paper on the wall

0:10:25.974,0:10:28.384
and each and one of us started to write

0:10:28.384,0:10:31.664
Andrea Formiconi, italian, speaks italian

0:10:31.664,0:10:35.439
Then casually pointed the felt-pen towards

0:10:35.445,0:10:38.340
one or the other and they wrote in turn

0:10:38.340,0:10:41.920
Each and one of us wrote his name,

0:10:41.920,0:10:44.980
which country he came from,

0:10:44.980,0:10:46.780
which language he spoke,,,

0:10:46.780,0:10:49.920
This simple game basically opened up

0:10:49.920,0:10:51.661
a whole world, a universe

0:10:51.661,0:10:54.101
because it turned out that with

0:10:54.101,0:10:56.461
fourteen-fifteen of them there were

0:10:56.461,0:10:58.731
twelve-thrteen languages spoken

0:10:58.731,0:11:02.331
Then we discovered illiterates,

0:11:02.342,0:11:04.992
you could tell by the unlikely way they

0:11:04.992,0:11:08.761
held the marker...

0:11:08.761,0:11:10.878
In fact they did not write the name but

0:11:10.878,0:11:14.599
drew it. At the same time

0:11:14.599,0:11:16.547
some of them attended school

0:11:16.547,0:11:18.735
and to one extreme there was a guy

0:11:18.735,0:11:21.585
that had escaped while in his fourth year

0:11:21.585,0:11:25.192
of mathematics at university.

0:11:25.192,0:11:28.922
This helps understand the enormous

0:11:28.922,0:11:36.022
range of stories and different human

0:11:36.022,0:11:42.288
situations hiding behind this stereotype

0:11:42.288,0:11:45.498
which we call with univocal names:

0:11:45.498,0:11:47.396
the migrant..

0:11:47.396,0:11:49.366
which prompts the image of the

0:11:49.366,0:11:51.486
little black man, always the same, and his

0:11:51.486,0:11:53.366
standard story.

0:11:53.366,0:11:54.676
Absolutely not!

0:11:54.676,0:11:58.676
(gentle music)

0:12:47.016,0:12:52.506
(kitchen noises)

0:13:17.157,0:13:17.873
Malò

0:13:17.873,0:13:20.267
I think that the spark that triggered

0:13:26.217,0:13:31.813
Three of us that embarked in this adventure

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the “little school of Poggio alla Croce”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
without really knowing what to expect.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We felt the urge to do something

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to help these youngsters,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we thought that teaching them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
italian language was the thing to do

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
also to improve their trust in themselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As we are scared of them blacks,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they are scared of us whites

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They are afraid of us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The funny thing is that a lot of people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were involved who had nothing .

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to do with teaching.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
People like Marcie who is canadian

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with very little italian but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she taught italian.. and Willy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who is still with us who reads

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and does dictation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and anything else with them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I teach in primary schools

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on Tuesday when finished

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With my class, often very tired like last

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
year when I taught in first

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I sit in the car and say to myself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“why do you do it ?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you should go home to rest or make dinner”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then I close my eyes and think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“if it is the right thing to do I'll find

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the missing energies” and there I go

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and afterwards I am happy because you get

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there and see those smiles with white teeth

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and those white teeth of black people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
those happy eyes...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I see Ajan, I see Dedo, the Kurds...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
waiting for you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who thank you for being there,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who are looking forward

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for you to teach them something.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Car noise...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I arrived here a bit by chance,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I got to know this experience

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thanks to Andreas, his stories

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in university classrooms and I decided to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to come and have a look.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The question I get asked most often

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is why I'm doing this, especially because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what strikes me about me is the fact

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I come from almost 90 kilometres

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
almost two hours by car anyway

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just to get here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's not easy to explain,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because the reason

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lies in so many little things:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
gestures, looks, emotions,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the feelings you have when

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you get in touch with these people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which in the end are lives

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are experiences, are worlds

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with which you come into contact

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and of which you often know nothing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Traffic noise...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Country noises, chirping...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Squeaking bicycle...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Background music...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I go to school in Figline Valdarno

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
every day, On Mondays and Tuesdays

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I go by car but the other days I ride my bike.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I ride my bike. It's not difficult to go,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but it is difficult to return

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because it takes an hour and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thirty minutes, It's tiring.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I was in Africa I didn't go to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
school and fortunately I found myself in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Europe and met the people who

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are helping me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and enrolled me in school.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My goal is to learn the Italian language

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would like to stay in Italy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would like to work to help

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my family in Africa. Therefore

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have to concentrate on studying,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's my goal.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Madou Koulibaly, I come

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from Guinea and I'm 20 years old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I arrived in Italy a year and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
two months ago, it was a very

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
difficult trip, I can't forget it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was very dangerous.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I sacrificed my life

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to seek my fortune in Europe

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and thank God I entered Italy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on 13 June 2018

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I was transferred

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to Poggio alla Croce.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I met some very good people who

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
treated me like one of their own,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they are like my parents here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not only me but all the Africans

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who live in Poggio alla Croce.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would like to continue studying,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if there is a possibility,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'd like to study and learn

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a job, for example a welder.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Noise spring water, chirping...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Italy saved me in the sea,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in Italy I went to school

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I would like to continue studying,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't know what will happen afterwards.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce is my village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The path is chaotic,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one cannot expect to follow

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a preordained thread:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it would kill this kind of school.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So you have to follow the wind.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
An example would be when

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Samba had written the curriculum

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the computer,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then of course you try to help:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Samba, what does this mean?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What's this...?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then we read:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"driving experience", so I ask:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Samba, what did you drive?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He light up immediately and says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Cow!"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and a whole other discussion

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
started from there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about how things change over time,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how they change in Africa,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how they change here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is an example of digression.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's a people-centred school,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
essentially.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Soft music, dialogue in the background..)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We all have attics full of old computers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we don't know what to do with them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's a problem because we have to take them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the eco-center and so we've been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
spreading this information:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Do you have an old computer?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You don't know what to do with it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that a problem for you?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instead of giving it to the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
recycling centre, give it to us,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we install a version the Linux

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
operating system, a lightweight version

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that fits into old computers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and easily "resurrects" them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Ubuntu operating system

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is so called because it is a concept

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from southern Africa and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nelson Mandela in a beautiful

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video that we used

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for a work with the students,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
describes it with a little story:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Once upon a time, when a wayfarer

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
arrived in a village and he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tired, thirsty and hungry, no one would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ever ask him any question,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they simply brought him something to drink

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and food. This is Ubuntu, that is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thinking about the other in the knowledge

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that this creates a community

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that lives well if we all do that."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ubuntu is a great African philosophy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a great African thought...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's about getting to the help

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it starts with the fact that we're all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brothers, if I help one person

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that person can help

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
another person close to me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
therefore a general connection

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of society in that we all consider

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ourselves brothers and sisters.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What happened in Poggio alla Croce

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is Ubuntu, it's definitely

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
authentic Ubuntu.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Chorus of African children...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think that following a principle

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where helping someone will help me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in turn is good for both, better than

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fighting with each other,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even though in fight wins may be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happier than the loser.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This principle guides my whole life

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
since I started reasoning I have always

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
used the time I had available in social activities.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But not for “goodism”, not because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am good and consequently must do good,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
help others, help beggars, no.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Maybe I am led by selfishness,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think I earn something this way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and so live a better life, be serene.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You get a lot of rip-offs, but not like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
those you get When fighting and losing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
More like opportunities that leave

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a bitter taste in our mouth but do not create

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
big problems. There were racist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
symptoms around and that is way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I decided to get involved but basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was my way of doing things: I am a migrant

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
myself in Poggio alla Croce, moving from town

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the country.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I choosed to and almost from start

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was natural to decide joining this association.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is a way of living, it is normality,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
no heroism, I think everybody

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can understand this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I hear it, the word Ubuntu has an impact

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because it means “humanity”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In jewish religion we have an expression,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“tikkum olam”, that literally means

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“fixing the world”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I noticed how relationships

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
developed here; it is really beautiful,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because people one by one are slowly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“fixing the world” and show humanity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We must concentrate on this positive part

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the world because if we don’t,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if we do nothing, we are doomed to fail.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For me coming here to Poggio is a little thing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but it means a lot in my life.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This idea of Ubuntu, to re-generate computers,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
objects tools that were doomed to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thrown away, is what inspired also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this community to act and slowly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
re-generate itself. This is what means

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the motto “We need you”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Our local community was re-generated

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
by your arrival, thanks to your spaceship

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with little black men, because it injected

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
into us a new need to co-hoperate, to leave

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
our homes and setties, forget about tv,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
get out and try to solve together a problem

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the benefit of the whole community.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(words from a malian rap song, music in headphones)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am Samba and I come from Mali,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am an artist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But before when I sang with my friends

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my family was against me making music,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but I love it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In 2016 I went first to Algeria then to Libia

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then I arrived here two years ago.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have a complicated life,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would like to be an artist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a rapper like many italians (Ghali, Sfera Ebbasta..)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would like to do what they do

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don’t really know what happened

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but we have all changed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I found out they changed in relation to us,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in the begining they would just pass by,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just give us a little smile but when they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
realised we really liked them…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I cannot speak for all, but for people like me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When we see a new one we stop him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with a “ehi”, and if he is tall tell him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to bend down or we can’t reach him, and he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
calls us and we say “grandmas and grandpas”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and he replies “grandpa,grandma”,,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We speak italian so we try to make

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ourselves understood and when we see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they reaaly don’t understand we gesture

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like this..to make them bend down

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And so they learn and when they pass

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they ask “nonna, need help ?”..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
”no, not today, tomorrow”.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some know some english and so I tell them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
“tomorrow” and they understand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I always said I have No room at home but if

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I did I would happily take one in One, two,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
depends on how many I could take in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If the house were mine, because in my view

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they also need to be understood, to feel

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the good not just through a smile. There are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
essential things in the life of all, but they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
leave their families flee from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
very bad systems, suffer hunger.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Maybe we are unable to give them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these things We are just two or three that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are really fond of them straight from our

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
hearts not from our mouths

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And they can feel it, as soon as they see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
us they come for a kiss, for some food,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for biscuits, as with a little child that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
needs to be taught to speak.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some we see more often and there is a contact

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We spend time but is not wasted time,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is good time. People who saw us doing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that in the beginning were critical

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But now they say “it is true they make

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
themselves loved, but how did you do it ?”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How ?, well we talk to them!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And soon or later they understand…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Slowly things got more stable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These kids are very nice

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They hurt nobody, they salute everybody,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they pass they call you, we reply,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at least I do, others won’t.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The village is quiet now,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it showed the worst of itself because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
misleading informations help produce

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
bad reactions. Then you learn, you see, you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
live and living with them is also nice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The way I see it, these kids were like jailed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
without this group of people that taught

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
them italian and other things ..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what would they do ? Lock up thirty kids

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in a CAS, what for ? For nothing I think,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If they are not made active

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what can they do ?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They are all young kids in their twenties….

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what can they do ?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If they do something, if it is possible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to make them do something, work, play..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
then it is different. They can be useful

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but you must train them, let them in,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
something impossible to do in two-three months

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then you have to overcome distrust.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Seeing a black man by your side

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
has some effects. But in the end it means

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nothing. If you learn to know him he is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like me after all Even if I don’t know you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we share the same opinion

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is logical I think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The first village I saw after entering Europe

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was Poggio alla Croce

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I will never forget because they gave

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a new life, an unforgettable experience:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the people, the joy, they gave me a respect

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for society, from day one when they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
took me around to look for a job, to take

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the driving licence, to school..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I thought “look, these people ask

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nothing of you, but give you a lot,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a new life..I must give something back”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and thought it would be good to go on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with them, helping them also phisically”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In my life I will never forget

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this village and the people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who know me, as well,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My family,even if not in Italy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they know Poggio alla Croce!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is a big joy for them too,and in my view

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if they ever meet an italian or european

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
person they will respect them because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they have given a good thing, a new life

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to their son.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In future I would like to help with the school,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don’t speak italian well but I could help

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with the Pakistani who don’t speak english

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and have not studied. I could be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
an interpreter between them and an italian

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
explaining the rules and other things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It would help them but also one way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to give someting back to society, to the village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are integrated in this society but now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you are teaching other peopleto integrate in society

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so that they can do good new things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have a lot to learn still, but people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from Poggio gave me a nice life, something

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
difficult to explain in words, but I will

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
always try to give something back to this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unforgettable, beautiful village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This initiative (the school) helped people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who did not know each other to get in touch,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
collaborate, become friends..Not only the migrants

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have a school for italian and mathematics

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but we all from the village have learnt to mix,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
live together and it is much better.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Another memory that I have and I think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I will never forget is the second day

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I came back to the school and it was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the birthday of the great Duccio,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
our mascot. He was one year old

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and at a certain point during the mini

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
buffet that his mum had prepared for us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the boys opened a bag and pulled out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a little wooden cart, all coloured

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and you could see that it was homemade,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the kind that I could find

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in my grandmother's attic.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They were pieces of wood assembled with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this rope attached to pull the cart along

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with wheels it was really well made.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was handcrafted by them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the gift was really appreciated by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Duccio because among the many toys here at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
home, fantastic toys that play, sing,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shout, this simple wooden cart made with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
pieces of wood and buttons... he liked it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
immediately and played with it without

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
knocking it on the ground as he does

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with other toys after thirty seconds of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of holding it in his hands and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
throwing it away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Also because, maybe, since when he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a baby, as soon as he was born, we tried,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
both me and my partner, to integrate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Duccio together with these guys,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
without letting him live this experience

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as if it was something outstanding

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but as if they were our relatives, our

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
friends, our brothers and he really laughs

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when he sees them, he goes towards them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my son is 18 months old...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He has practically become the mascot

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the shelter because every time they see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him they call him: "Duscio, Duscio"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can see that when there is "Duscio"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they smile and I am really

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happy about that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's a cliché, but I want my son to become

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a citizen of the world, not a citizen of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So... everything's fine... and work?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Dialogues not intelligible...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Duscio! Hello Duscio...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And bread? Bread? Bru

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Madou explains the recipe for bread,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
oil and salt in his own language)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
cocò...? bru, cocò... And oil?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tulù bru, tulù, cocò...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tulù bru, tulù, cocò...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So: bru, tulu, cocò!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are good!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah, good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Laundry noises...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Omar and I come from Senegal,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have been in Italy for two years.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've arrived in Poggio alla Croce

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I'm happy, I've met many people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they teach a bit of Italian and I became

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
friends with these people I go to school,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I did the grape harvest and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the olive picking.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They helped me to find a good job,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I found a mother and a father,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I only miss my brothers but my mother

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and my father are close to me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they are Paola and Gabriele.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They are very good,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all of them in Poggio alla Croce

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are very good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Pruning noise...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When a foreigner comes here and leaves

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his homeland, he still has this nostalgia,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he believes that where he goes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he will perhaps find a welcome, a smile.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When he comes and finds rejection it is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a moment of great difficulty, a sadness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are all foreigners to someone else,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I too am a foreigner and I arrived here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in 2000 and now 19 years have passed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I am here as a priest

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in Poggio alla Croce.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They give the idea that they have somehow

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
taken the destiny of their lives back

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
into their own hands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The transformation of course,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this is perhaps one of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
significant aspects,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is not just about them:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is always wrong to focus on 'them'.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Things work when the context allows

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
itself to be changed and in this sense

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is a positive reaction

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Old ladies who were perhaps terrified

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in those famous, awful meetings

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at the beginning can now call them,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when the woodcutter unloads a ton of wood

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in front of their house and for them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there is the problem of taking it to the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
garden, bringing it inside...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and so, as they say, they call a couple

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of these "big guys" and say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"will you bring it inside?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and clearly these guys do the job

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in ten minutes and they maybe pay them

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a cappuccino or give them some money.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In this way a normal life has been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
recovered, it is healthy normality that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
makes up the real civilisation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of a population.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And by the way, and this moves me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the people who are now with me and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who have involved me in this adventure,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
two in particular, two women who started

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this adventure, are the same people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who welcomed me twenty-six years ago

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when I arrived here in San Polo.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is important for me, because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was a beautiful experience that I had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that I want to give

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to others, to them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What is the name of this dish? Mafe

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How do you make it?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just meat, vegetables...?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How do you manage this dish?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Meat, some vegetables... tomato...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Peanut... Peanut butter Good...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
.opala...show him, show him...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ah! Is this opala? Yes, this is opala.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How do you do it, do you have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to clean, cut?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yes, clean, cut... Good! Bravo!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'll let you guys work

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
while I watch and help you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What is this white thing?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In Poular: "Bantara"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and how do you cook it?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Does it take a long time?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In Senegal yes, I don't know in Europe...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because if it is fresh it cooks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
very quickly if it is old

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it takes longer...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Music, kitchen noises...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This sort of migrants' Barbiana

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at Villa Viviana in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce closes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Today there is a great silence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
since these young people who

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
had brought life back to the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
depopulated village two years ago

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were forced to leave.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Music...)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They left in a hurry without warning,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some things are still there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Cristoforo cooperative,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which ran the centre, is leaving because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
its budget, reduced from 35 to 21 euros

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
per migrant, has already had to close

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
5 out of 17 centres and this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is only the beginning:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the situation is no longer

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
financially sustainable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Some thirty migrants arrived in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce, in the municipality

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of Figline and Incisa, two years ago

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
amidst the mistrust and protests of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the few inhabitants of the village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The result was a unique experience

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of integration until now, when they were

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
suddenly and forcibly moved to another

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
centre in Sesto Fiorentino.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Today was the last day of study at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce, it was a school

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where foreigners learn a lot of things,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was the school where we learned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
everything we needed to in Italian, in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
English and above all Italian culture.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At this time it is very difficult to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
away from the inhabitants of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Poggio alla Croce or to be away from our

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
teachers. We are very sorry but we have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not chosen, we tell you that we do not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have many words to say because living

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with you has been very beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You must be proud of yourselves for all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that you have done and are still doing:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you have created an incredible and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unforgettable history in your little

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
village, a village where humanity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is respected a lot.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For some people, living with African

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
boys is a bore or a sin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But with you it was not like that,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
always with smiles, nice words

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
without swearing or distinction of skin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We were lucky to live a moment of this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
journey with you, after the study

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in Poggio we understood that each of us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
must be the master of our own destiny.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thank you for teaching us a good attitude

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how to behave in Europe, thank you for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
making us understand that we should not be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like people who are delinquents or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
beggars. I will never forget you,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
warm regards....

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In my opinion, this story of the Poggio,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the little school, is really a love

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
story because we volunteers love each

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
other, because we are together

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in a special way, and we with the guys,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and they love us, real friendships have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
been born, it's a love story.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is these small gestures, these tales

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of everyday life that make our experience

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so special. It is what makes you say:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"I care about you" It is the most

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
precious gift we can take home.
