Tutto il giorno davanti

Amira!

Mohammed!

Mohammed!

Abdullah!

Ibrahim!

Ibra!

Ibra!

Fatima! Fatima!

Fatima!

Fatima!

Abdul!

Fatima!

Oh, God.

Andrea.

-Hi, Adele. -What is it?

What do you mean? I'm here. Will you open up?

-But it's so early. Where are you? -At the door. Come on.

Tell me, what is the point of us being separated

if you show up at my house at 5:00 in the morning?

Come on, open up.

No. Why don't you have the keys that you kept with you?

Wait. "I take custody of migrant minors. They are my 480 children."

Good morning, Great Mother.

TAKING CUSTODY OF UNDERAGE MIGRANTS THEY'RE MY 480 CHILDREN

-Good morning. What is it? -Read, read.

Oh, the interview.

You have more children than I have delivered as a gynecologist.

You woke me up for that?

If I remember correctly,

exactly seven years ago, more or less, at this same hour,

you woke me up, "My water's broke. We must go to the hospital."

Oh, sure. You came to celebrate your daughter's birthday at 5:00 a.m.

I practically just left the delivery room. Twins.

I thought, "I'll surprise Silvia."

Assessor, let me in,

or must the entrance procedure for your ex-husband,

and father of your children, have to go through more clarification?

Come in.

I'll turn on the light.

The Great Mother!

Get ready, because that is what everyone will call you. "Great Mother."

I am only the tutor.

It's a journalistic term they made up. It has no importance.

-Ouch. -What is it? Does your neck hurt?

Want a nice massage? You know I'm good with my hands.

Andrea, are you making a pass at me?

Listen, I heard that even the minister is coming to sign the protocol.

Nice, right?

-I need coffee. You want one? -Here, there's hot croissants.

The minister being there in person is important. Aren't you happy?

Well, I'd say I am happy.

We've been working for two years to reach an agreement for everyone.

Lucky them. They saw you in these last two years.

Aside from the remarks,

there wasn't a law for unaccompanied minors.

Let's hope that after this is signed, there will be.

I am glad. Everyone should be.

-Why? Aren't you glad? -Don't look at me like that. I am too.

We are the first in Europe to think about a tutorial system

for foreign minors.

Do you realize that? Anyone will be able to take care of them.

Not to mention that I will have less youngsters to care of.

And maybe I will be a bit less "Great Mother",

and a bit more "small mother" for our children.

Mom, is it day already?

No, love. It's still nighttime. Go to sleep.

-Hi, Dad! -Hi, my love.

-Happy birthday. -How great that you're here!

Come on, love. It's still nighttime. You have to sleep a bit more.

When you get up, we'll celebrate. Okay?

Up you go!

Here we are.

-I'm not sleepy anymore, Dad. -Did Mr. Sleep leave?

What a rascal! I will call him now and tell him to come back.

That's it, Dad. Go look for Mr. Sleep out there.

-You can't trust anyone? -Mom, did you order the cake?

-Of course. -A cherry one?

-Yes. -Will you come to my party?

I'll do everything I can. I promise. As soon as I finish working, I'll come.

It's not right, Mom.

You always work. Even when it's my birthday.

You know you're the love of my life. I would spend all of my time with you.

But I have to make the city more beautiful, even today.

What will you do?

I was thinking of putting very soft

and fresh grass in place of the crosswalks.

So everyone crossing has to take off their shoes

and feel the soft grass under their feet.

-Do you like the idea? -Yes.

Mom, I can't wait to blow out the candles.

I have an incredible wish to make.

But you must not tell anyone or it won't come true.

Sleep now, my love.

Sleep!

And when you wake up, you'll be seven years old. Just think!

So…

There.

Andrea, it's better if Silvia and Marco don't see this.

Sooner or later you must tell your children what you really do.

Yes, but Silvia is too little and wouldn't understand.

Marco is a complete adolescent and he barely speaks to me.

-What it is, Caterina? -They are closing the Aurora Center.

No, I don't believe it.

The police are there. We didn't need this!

-We certainly didn't! -I have been here since 4:00.

Listen, give me a second. I'll put something on and come.

-Hey, Dad. -Hey! Hi, big boy.

-Why are you here at this hour? -It's your sister's birthday.

-At 5:00 in the morning? -Did we wake you?

-No. I was going to the bathroom. -I'm going.

-Where are you going? -They're closing the center.

See you later. You're coming to see me at the town hall?

No. I forgot to tell you. We're not doing the doc on you anymore.

Oh, no?

We're doing it on the father of a friend of mine who fixes scooters.

Nobody in class gives a darn about the assessor for social politics.

Good night!

I'm rushing because I want to be back in time to take the kids to school.

Ouch…

Listen, you don't want a massage, but at least put this on?

-I left breakfast on the table. -Perfect.

-All right? -Bye. Have a nice day.

PALERMO 11TH JUNE 2016

Temporary authorization has expired.

And the structure has not been authorized for a definitive function.

Excuse me. You're closing it at 5:00 in the morning, just like that?

There are 40 more people in there than allowed.

All the kids have to be transferred by tonight.

-No. Really, by tonight? -I am sorry. Those are the rules.

-Oh, sure. -Good morning.

-Everything okay, Adele? -Yes, yes.

But maybe my neck should sleep more.

I have some pills in the office that will be good for you.

Thanks.

What can I do?

I don't understand a thing!

What is this commotion?

What's with this commotion? I don't understand a thing!

How can I help you if I don't understand what you want? What is it?

We want to stay here!

I am trying to find a solution. That's all I do!

I am looking for-- Hey! Are you listening to me or not?

-We don't want to leave Palermo! -Right! We want to stay.

Kids, there has been a problem.

Today, a ship is arriving and the centers are all full.

We can't leave.

-I know you don't want to leave. -It's not that. It's that we can't!

The school has to stay together for the final.

-It's important! -That's right!

What is this final?

The final of the citizen tournament. They have their heart set on it.

We are in the final, we're playing next week.

-We have to stay together to train. -I see. You really care about it.

I'll ask you something.

Is the soccer final more important than finding a place to live?

-What are you doing? -I won't calm down! I won't calm down!

Take it easy!

-What are you doing? -You don't understand!

You want to take care of everyone, but you aren't good with anyone!

We worked hard on this!

-We bought the uniforms. -I know.

We take courses! We work!

-And now you want to take us away? -No.

But we won't move. We will not move!

We will stay!

We will not leave!

Have you finished?

First of all, don't you ever dare talk to me like that again.

Along with the social workers…

we will do our best to have you stay here in Palermo. Is that clear?

By tonight!

So there is very little time.

Instead of helping me in doing this, you are having me waste time.

-Is that clear? -Go on!

-Go away! -Come, Adele. Let's go to the girls.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Shame!

The owner of the center hasn't been found yet.

It seems he's not in Italy.

Oh, sure. Enjoying the easy money he makes here, right?

-As soon as he comes back-- -If he comes back.

Right. I want to have a chat with him.

I want to tell him what a mess he's got us into.

-Hi to everyone! -Hi!

Adele!

-Gethru! Hi, how are you? -I'm fine, and you?

Fine. A bit of a neck ache. I had a bad dream.

-Rania is not well. -Rania is not well? Where is she now?

She's still in bed and doesn't want to get up.

Take me to her.

She's over here.

Rania?

Rania.

Little one.

How are you?

Not well.

When is the delivery due?

-In a week. -Is she having her checkups?

Yes, every day.

Where does it hurt?
