00:01Hello children, welcome to our school and to our country I could say.
00:05Hi Ella, I'm Nurak.
00:06Hi.
00:07I understand that you came all the way from...
00:09Romania.
00:10But my wife is Norwegian, so...
00:12They seem so happy here.
00:14And they've bonded so much with Nora.
00:17Why don't you let Emanelia come for a birthday?
00:19Because they're punished.
00:21What are you doing here?
00:23We're five, unless there's some discipline now.
00:28I hope it is going to speak to people about this necessity of getting into a dialogue with the others.
00:35I hope it's going to bring more doubts to people who are sure that they are right and everybody else
00:41is wrong.
00:42Well, you know, it's good every now and then to double check your values
00:45and to understand that there isn't just one solution for the problems that the world is having.
00:52If you're tolerant, you can understand that, you know, the big questions of humanity can be answered in very different
00:58ways.
00:59And I am a very rational person.
01:01My answers are rational.
01:03But I can empathize with somebody whose answers are, I don't know, intuitive.
01:07And it doesn't mean that we cannot live in the same world.
01:10And we need to make this effort, all of us.
01:12I think that, you know, a big change starts with the small changes that each of us is ready to
01:16do.
01:16What happened to you?
01:17I just scroll down the stairs.
01:19She has blue marks on the face and on the sides.
01:23Yes?
01:24Hi, Giorgio.
01:25I love my children.
01:26And I hope you'll never hurt them.
01:29Elia!
01:30Elia, let me turn on your phone.
01:31It's not your machine on these.
01:32Sochi!
01:33Elia!
01:34But now it turns out that you have decided that we have done something very bad against them.
01:39Don't you have to prove what they claim?
01:41Not before they take the children.
01:43I am your family.
01:45And I try the children too.
01:50You are so bad.
01:57Amen.
01:58Amen.
01:59Amen.
02:01Amen.
02:02Amen.
02:03Thanks.
02:03I have to steal from the limit to her.
02:04It does not want to hear of anything.
02:04Amen!
02:04You
