00:00We're going to taste what our neighbors cooked!
00:04Try to cook it so you can join us.
00:06Come on, let's eat!
00:09It's delicious when it's hot.
00:13Eating hot food is really different.
00:15It's true.
00:21It doesn't seem like it's melting in your mouth.
00:23It's so hot!
00:26It's so hot!
00:27I'll get the tomatoes.
00:28Does it fight?
00:29Yes!
00:30My right membrane hurts.
00:33That's so specific.
00:35My right membrane only hurts.
00:37It's so delicious!
00:38It went to my lymphatic system.
00:41It's so delicious!
00:42There's a signal in my lymphatic system.
00:44That's why my cortisol went away.
00:48I can't understand the scientific terms.
00:50I can't work.
00:52It's well-cooked. It goes well with the beefsteak.
00:54Yes, it does.
00:58We're different.
01:00I watched Roadtrip.
01:02Congratulations!
01:04It's beautiful.
01:05But, in our story,
01:07if we found out that you wrote it,
01:10what's your first love?
01:12Acting or writing?
01:14I think the craft itself.
01:15This is our industry that I love.
01:17Baby!
01:18Oh, baby!
01:20I really missed you!
01:24Really?
01:25The creation, the creating,
01:27creating characters, creating scenes.
01:30This is it.
01:31Do you see yourself directing?
01:33Maybe in the future.
01:34I'm still scared.
01:35Because if I'm the one who wrote it,
01:36and I'm the one who directed it,
01:37there won't be any other eyes
01:39to see if what I'm doing is right or not.
01:42How long did it take you to write a story?
01:46It's fast to write.
01:47The process of making it takes a long time,
01:50and the process of telling it to the producer.
01:53I have a storybook here.
01:55Really?
01:56Yes.
01:58Once upon a time,
01:59there was a shooting star.
02:02Okay.
02:03Literally, she was shooting.
02:04The star?
02:05Yes.
02:06There.
02:07Madame Stallone is a story about a mother
02:11who has a child with Down Syndrome.
02:13Do you have a story?
02:15Yes, I have a story.
02:16Actually, when I was offered this,
02:18they told me,
02:19we're going to make a comedy.
02:21Okay.
02:22So, I accepted it because I thought it was a comedy.
02:25But while we were making it,
02:27it wasn't a comedy anymore.
02:29What was it?
02:30It became a drama.
02:31Why?
02:32Because I was working with 9 real kids,
02:38children with Down Syndrome.
02:39Oh.
02:40From 2 months to 24 years old.
02:44I used what I taught Quentin,
02:47because I know their problem with fine motor.
02:49Is it the same?
02:50Did you use your knowledge as a mother?
02:54Yes.
02:55Actually, the mother of the 24-year-old I was with,
02:58in the movie,
03:00she cried because I was,
03:02during the shoot,
03:03it was the first time,
03:05she got a button.
03:07Oh, my God.
03:08Of a polo.
03:09She was like that.
03:10She was like that.
03:11She was annoyed.
03:12I told her, you can do it.
03:13You know,
03:14Quentin has taught me a lot.
03:17That's it.
03:19That's it.
03:20That's it.
03:22I don't know how to do this.
03:26I don't have a friend.
03:28Because sometimes you think,
03:30maybe they don't know.
03:31They're also scared.
03:32They don't know how to react.
03:34They don't know how to handle.
03:36What I learned from Quentin,
03:38is understanding other people.
03:42Right?
03:43I want them to understand my son.
03:47So, I also need to learn to understand others.
03:50Close your eyes.
03:51Okay, close your eyes.
03:53Close your eyes.
03:54And then, raise your hands.
03:56Next page.
03:58Quentin's early years.
04:01How did you know Quentin's condition?
04:05The 9 months of Quentin,
04:07I went to,
04:08I went to my mom,
04:10to my spiritual mentor.
04:12He said,
04:13check Quentin's eyes.
04:14Sometimes it's dark,
04:15sometimes it's bright.
04:16There's no coordination.
04:17So, you noticed his eyes first?
04:19Yes.
04:20Because he has a checklist.
04:21Does he like being in a circle?
04:22Does he tick-tock?
04:23Does he look at you?
04:24What's your name?
04:26Does he talk?
04:27Does he grunt?
04:28Does he jump?
04:29So, all of that,
04:30it's like I'm there in the circle.
04:32He doesn't look at me.
04:33He doesn't grunt.
04:35You checked all of that?
04:36I checked all 5.
04:37It's 1 to 5.
04:38Right?
04:39So, it's like I'm in all 5.
04:40So, he said,
04:41okay, we have to go to an OT.
04:43Then, after that,
04:44we have to go to a speech therapist.
04:45Now, he has ADHD,
04:47or under the spectrum of autism.
04:49As for me,
04:50I'm really a solution-based person.
04:52So, I immediately said,
04:53okay, let's go to an OT.
04:54You didn't emote?
04:55Like that?
04:56Immediately a solution?
04:57Or you still have it?
04:58I don't really emote.
05:00Because there's no time.
05:01There's no time.
05:02So, how did you feel?
05:05It's okay.
05:06It's okay.
05:07Acceptance right away?
05:08Yes.
05:09You're good at running to the Lord.
05:11Yes, because
05:13you can't run to anyone else.
05:15Because I saw that you can't take medicine.
05:17Right?
05:18I can't take it.
05:19You can't take charms.
05:20You can't laugh.
05:21Isn't it more difficult
05:22when you have to face everything alone?
05:24I don't think I'm alone.
05:25Because...
05:26I mean, when my dad passed away.
05:30Yes, I had a family.
05:31You had a support system.
05:32Yeah, I had my mom, my sister.
05:34I had my friends, right?
05:36This is the reality.
05:38This is the reality.
05:39So, there's no shortage.
05:41We're perfect.
05:42Next page.
05:43Quentin's childhood.
05:45The struggles of being a mother.
05:47It's the same.
05:48Right?
05:49It's the same.
05:50It's the same.
05:51It's just that there are more responsibilities.
05:55Yes.
05:56Because, right?
05:57It's the same.
05:58You have a different headache.
05:59It's different because my son doesn't snore.
06:00But my son snores.
06:02Yes.
06:03Yes, you're right.
06:05Right?
06:06My son
06:07calls me,
06:08Who are you?
06:09Am I crazy?
06:10You're crazy, ma'am.
06:11Right?
06:12We're just the same.
06:13I am not special.
06:15I am not extraordinary.
06:17That's what I always say.
06:18We're just the same.
06:20Next page of our storybook.
06:23A mother's love.
06:25I'm curious.
06:26What's your biggest fear?
06:28To Quentin.
06:29You go first, chef.
06:31To your son.
06:33What are you most afraid of?
06:36For him to leave me first.
06:39But that's my biggest fear.
06:41I don't want to be the one to bring my son to his death.
06:46I can't do that.
06:47What about you, ma'am?
06:48I'm just afraid that when I'm gone,
06:51he'll leave me alone.
06:53I want him to be independent.
06:55I'm just afraid that when I'm gone,
06:57what will happen to him?
06:58What will happen to Quentin?
06:59Even if I leave him money,
07:00you see, everyone will hug Quentin.
07:04When he rents a house,
07:05no one will pay for his rent.
07:07He'll just accept it.
07:08What's your biggest dream for Quentin?
07:11For him to be independent.
07:13That's all, right?
07:14Yes, that's all.
07:15He'll be able to handle it.
07:16He'll be able to handle it.
07:17He'll just understand that he needs to be punished.
07:20That's all.
07:21Even if he's not there.
07:23He'll just accept the punishment.
07:25He'll just accept the punishment.
07:26He doesn't want to accept it?
07:27Yes, he doesn't want to accept money.
07:29He says it's dirty.
07:30He doesn't want to accept it.
07:33He doesn't want to accept it.
07:34He doesn't want to accept it.
07:35He doesn't want to accept it.
07:36He doesn't want to accept it.
