1. Alexandre, are you coming'?
We're going to the island.Copy !req
2. - Where?
- To the island.Copy !req
3. We're going to dive
to see the ancient city.Copy !req
4. Later, we'll go up
to the rock...Copy !req
5. and we'll greet the passing boats.Copy !req
6. What do you know
of the ancient city?Copy !req
7. Grandfather says that
that happy city was swallowed up...Copy !req
8. by an earthquake,Copy !req
9. and that it has slept under the sea
for centuries.Copy !req
10. It emerges from the water
once a month,Copy !req
11. and then only for a very short time,Copy !req
12. when the morning star regrets
having to leave the Earth,Copy !req
13. and stops and contemplates it,Copy !req
14. and everything stops then...
Time also stops.Copy !req
15. Time... what is it?Copy !req
16. Grandfather says that
time is a child...Copy !req
17. that plays dice on the shore.Copy !req
18. Are you coming then?Copy !req
19. Alexandre!Copy !req
20. You fell asleep there...Copy !req
21. And you haven't eaten anything!Copy !req
22. I have a taste of salt...
the taste of the sea in my mouth.Copy !req
23. So, this is our last day...Copy !req
24. Let me come with you,
tomorrow, to the hospital.Copy !req
25. Ourania, don't make things harder...Copy !req
26. After all, doesn't everything end
sooner or later?Copy !req
27. Coffee is served
in the office...Copy !req
28. I've also packed your suitcase.Copy !req
29. It's not too full, I hope.
It's useless...Copy !req
30. You know it well.Copy !req
31. Ourania...Copy !req
32. Thanks for the three years
that you spent here.Copy !req
33. Without you, I don't know
what I would have become.Copy !req
34. The dog has eaten.Copy !req
35. For the last few monthsCopy !req
36. my only contact with the worldCopy !req
37. has been this unknown neighbour of mine,Copy !req
38. who always answers to me
with the same music.Copy !req
39. Who are they?Copy !req
40. What are they like?Copy !req
41. One morning,
I wanted to go and meet them,Copy !req
42. but then I changed my mind.Copy !req
43. Maybe it's better not to meet them,
but to imagine them instead.Copy !req
44. Will it be a hermit like me?Copy !req
45. Or perhaps a little girlCopy !req
46. who, before leaving for school...Copy !req
47. plays with the unknown neighbour.Copy !req
48. Everything passed by so quickly!Copy !req
49. This suspect pain...Copy !req
50. my stubbornness to want to learn,
to want to know...Copy !req
51. then the darkness...Copy !req
52. the silence around me...Copy !req
53. the silence.Copy !req
54. It all made me believe
that before the end of winterCopy !req
55. with the ethereal
silhouettes of the boats,Copy !req
56. and their sudden
jutting into the sky,Copy !req
57. with the lovers along the promenade,
in the declining sun,Copy !req
58. and the hypocritical promise
of the spring,Copy !req
59. it all made me believe
that before the end of winter...Copy !req
60. My only regret, Anna...Copy !req
61. - but is it only one? -Copy !req
62. is not to have finished anything.Copy !req
63. I left all as a draft,Copy !req
64. shattered words here and there.Copy !req
65. Get on!Copy !req
66. Where do you come from?Copy !req
67. Do you speak Greek?Copy !req
68. Do you want me to take you
somewhere?Copy !req
69. Hello, Dad.Copy !req
70. What brings you here on a Sunday?Copy !req
71. No one answers at yours.
I've called for 15 days.Copy !req
72. I was worried.
What happened?Copy !req
73. I must leave for a while.Copy !req
74. I don't know where to leave
the dog, Katerina.Copy !req
75. Do you want to drink something?Copy !req
76. - There's some coffee...
- I've also brought you...Copy !req
77. - some of your mother's old letters.
- My mother's letters?Copy !req
78. You're leaving, you said?Copy !req
79. Where are you going?Copy !req
80. You know that Nikos doesn't want
animals in the house.Copy !req
81. And your work, how is it going?Copy !req
82. My Work?Copy !req
83. On The Free Besieged of Sokamos.Copy !req
84. Your third project;
you left it incomplete...Copy !req
85. after mom's death.
Isn't it what you were working on?Copy !req
86. Besides,
I've never understood...Copy !req
87. how come a great writer like you
abandoned his work all of a sudden...Copy !req
88. in order to finish an incomplete
19th century poem.Copy !req
89. Don't tell me
that you've dropped it, too!Copy !req
90. I don't know,Copy !req
91. maybe I couldn't find the words...Copy !req
92. This one has no envelope.
Why?Copy !req
93. Shall I read it?Copy !req
94. "September 20th, 1966".Copy !req
95. My day!Copy !req
96. Mom often spoke to me
of that day.Copy !req
97. "You were still sleeping
when I woke up.Copy !req
98. "I watched you breathe.Copy !req
99. "Were you dreaming, Alexandre?Copy !req
100. "You moved your hand slightly,
as if to look for me.Copy !req
101. "Your eyelids blinked,
then you dove back into sleep.Copy !req
102. "A little tear came from your eye.Copy !req
103. "It rolled, it travelled.Copy !req
104. "From the side, the baby uttered
a little moan.Copy !req
105. "A door moved.Copy !req
106. "I went to the veranda...Copy !req
107. "and cried."Copy !req
108. Hello, Anna.Copy !req
109. I'm having strange dreams,
these days.Copy !req
110. - Did you cry, Anna?
- It's nothing.Copy !req
111. You cried.Copy !req
112. It's nothing.Copy !req
113. What's wrong?Copy !req
114. - Anna, you cried.
- It's nothing.Copy !req
115. SQ?Copy !req
116. - How do I look?
- As beautiful as a summer day!Copy !req
117. Liar! And the weight I've gained,
due to my pregnancy?Copy !req
118. Is that dress new?Copy !req
119. - Don't you remember it?
- No.Copy !req
120. You brought it to me
from one of your journeys.Copy !req
121. You only think about your book!Copy !req
122. When will you send it to the editor,
so we can stay together?Copy !req
123. "... I wish I could keep that moment,Copy !req
124. "pin it up like a butterfly
to prevent it from flying."Copy !req
125. They're coming!Copy !req
126. Go dress! Quickly!Copy !req

the hot milk and the humid jasmine.Copy !req
130. "I write to you, I speak to you...Copy !req
131. "I feel so close to you,Copy !req
132. "who feel threatened and resist me.Copy !req
133. "Do you think that I threaten your world,
Alexandre?Copy !req
134. "Yet,
I am only a woman in love."Copy !req
135. ls the little one sleeping?Copy !req
136. She's with her other
grandmother, on the beach.Copy !req
137. Grandmother... Like me!
My God, how old have I grown'?Copy !req
138. See, my daughter, by playing...Copy !req
139. the part of a naive person all the time,
your mother got naive.Copy !req
140. She always acts naive...Copy !req
141. Hecuba, Clytemnestra...Copy !req
142. My wife always loves to exaggerate.Copy !req
143. Dad, stop teasing her all the time!Copy !req
144. - How will you call her?
- Did you decide it?Copy !req
145. Eléni or Katérina...Copy !req
146. But her grandmother
will have the last word!Copy !req
147. You shine, you know.
My little Anna, a mom!Copy !req
148. I'm going to put the flowers
in a vase.Copy !req
149. As far as I remember,
the house hasn't changed.Copy !req
150. This will be the last
careless summer, Alékos!Copy !req
151. What do you mean?Copy !req
152. Everybody speaks of an intervention
by the army before the elections,Copy !req
153. but you politicians,
you play dumb!Copy !req
154. "At night, I looked at you.Copy !req
155. "I didn't know if you were sleeping,
or just quiet.Copy !req
156. "I was afraid
of what you might think,Copy !req
157. "afraid of invading your silence.Copy !req
158. "So I let my body speak,Copy !req
159. "- the only language I know -Copy !req
160. "because only in that way
do you not feel threatened.Copy !req
161. "I am only a woman in love,
Alexandre."Copy !req
162. And where's the lucky father hiding?Copy !req
163. Lost in his thoughts, Uncle, as always.
He's there, without being there.Copy !req
164. As children we had to speak
in a low voice when he was working.Copy !req
165. Father got angry when someone
disturbed his beloved son!Copy !req
166. And now, if you want
to see the little wonder,Copy !req
167. follow me!Copy !req
168. She's beautiful, isn't she?Copy !req
169. "I walked naked on the sand.Copy !req
170. "The Wind blew,Copy !req
171. "a boat passed by.Copy !req
172. "You weren't getting up.Copy !req
173. "I could still feel your warmth
on my body.Copy !req
174. "I didn't dare dream
that you were dreaming of me!Copy !req
175. "Oh! Alexandre...Copy !req
176. "if I could have believed it,
just for an instant,Copy !req
177. "I would have let myself go
and screamed."Copy !req
178. Did you say something, Dad?Copy !req
179. Are you already leaving?Copy !req
180. I hadn't understood...Copy !req
181. Hello.Copy !req
182. I'm glad you came,
I wanted to speak with you.Copy !req
183. You know, we sold
the house on the beach.Copy !req
184. The house...? You sold it?Copy !req
185. Tomorrow morning, I'll give them the keys
and the bulldozer will start work.Copy !req
186. Is that your dog?Copy !req
187. I'm going to get dressed.Copy !req
188. Don't take it so much to heart, dad!Copy !req
189. What's wrong with you?
You look so pale.Copy !req
190. Do you remember
our first journey?Copy !req
191. You were maybe 15...Copy !req
192. The two of us in Yannina,
for that damn tennis championship!Copy !req
193. You lost and you started crying.Copy !req
194. We had no choice, father...Copy !req
195. Only two people, Nikos and me,
in that immense house...Copy !req
196. damaged by the earthquake
and surrounded by buildings.Copy !req
197. We walked hand in hand
along the banks of the lake.Copy !req
198. I tried everything...Copy !req
199. you were inconsolable!Copy !req
200. A glass of water, please,
and a sandwich.Copy !req
201. I have a clandestine kid on board...Copy !req
202. So what?Copy !req
203. A little refugee from Albania...
of Greek origin, apparently.Copy !req
204. So what?Copy !req
205. How long does it take from here
to the Albanian border?Copy !req
206. Two hours... Maybe more if it snows.
You need to cross the mountain.Copy !req
207. Why don't you ask that bus-driver?Copy !req
208. He's going to Pentalofo in the north,
not far from the border.Copy !req
209. He ran away!
They do it all the time!Copy !req
210. The cops keep catching them
and sending them back home...Copy !req
211. All in vain! They keep
crossing the mountains.Copy !req
212. How did you come to Greece?Copy !req
213. Don't you want to tell me?Copy !req
214. Is your village far from the border?Copy !req
215. - Do you have a family over there?
- My grandmother.Copy !req
216. That bus goes to Pentalofo,
close to the border.Copy !req
217. I couldn't leave you there
after all that. Do you understand?Copy !req
218. I'm leaving on a journey tomorrow.
I don't have the time...Copy !req
219. Once there, the driver will find you
a taxi to get to the border.Copy !req
220. Don't you want to go
to your grandmother's?Copy !req
221. Little exiled birdCopy !req
222. You are unhappyCopy !req
223. A foreign country
is happy to have youCopy !req
224. and I long for youCopy !req
225. What can I send you,
my little flower?Copy !req
226. Did you say "my little flower"?Copy !req
227. Repeat...Copy !req
228. What did you say'?
The song... Sing it again!Copy !req
229. I couldn't leave you like that.
I had to find a solution.Copy !req
230. I know what you want,Copy !req
231. but I can't leave you like that!Copy !req
232. I just can't!Copy !req
233. Hello.Copy !req
234. A glass of water.Copy !req
235. Where can I find a taxi
to take the child to the border?Copy !req
236. It won't be easy to find one;
the road is terrible.Copy !req
237. My son-in-law has a taxi.
Shall I call him?Copy !req
238. Yes.Copy !req
239. He'll be here in 10 minutes.Copy !req
240. Giorgos, four rakis
and something to eat!Copy !req
241. If I send you an apple, it'll rotCopy !req
242. If I send you a quince
it'll dryCopy !req
243. A bunch of white grapes
will lose its beads along the wayCopy !req
244. I 'II send you a tear in a...Copy !req
245. What's wrong?
You're trembling!Copy !req
246. Were you afraid of the police?Copy !req
247. No.Copy !req
248. It's yours.Copy !req
249. Remember those words,
on the motorway...Copy !req
250. korphoula mou'?Copy !req
251. Do you know what a poet is?Copy !req
252. If I had the time, I would tell you
the story of a poet...Copy !req
253. who used to buy words.Copy !req
254. I understand.Copy !req
255. Let's go. You're going to freeze...Copy !req
256. Let's go.Copy !req
257. The armed gangs came down
to the streets.Copy !req
258. The men shot all night.Copy !req
259. They entered the houses,Copy !req
260. the babies cried...Copy !req
261. The empty village...Copy !req
262. The passage is up there.Copy !req
263. My buddy Selim knew it,
he had already crossed it.Copy !req
264. There are a few signs
left by some grown-ups,Copy !req
265. some plastic bags
hanging from the trees.Copy !req
266. If you don't know it, you get lost.
The snow eats you up.Copy !req
267. From one bag to another,Copy !req
268. you arrive at a bare plateau.Copy !req
269. Sélim started screaming...Copy !req
270. because I didn't know it
and started walking.Copy !req
271. "There are hidden bombs there,
bonehead!" he tells me.Copy !req
272. "Get down!"Copy !req
273. I did.Copy !req
274. He took a big stone...Copy !req
275. and threw it in front of him,Copy !req
276. then he crouched down
before it fell on the snow.Copy !req
277. Nothing happened,Copy !req
278. so we advanced up to the stone.Copy !req
279. He had me crouch down,Copy !req
280. took the stone...Copy !req
281. and threw it farther.Copy !req
282. I was afraid, I was cold...Copy !req
283. We started walking again.Copy !req
284. And that way, throwing the stone,Copy !req
285. we reached the other side.Copy !req
286. We saw the lights far away.Copy !req
287. I don't have anybody.
I lied.Copy !req
288. I have to leave tomorrow,
I told you.Copy !req
289. You've fooled me again!Copy !req
290. A sandwich, please!Copy !req
291. Thank you.Copy !req
292. Don't you ever eat?Copy !req
293. Sometimes.Copy !req
294. - I know what a poet is.
- Do you?Copy !req
295. I see...Copy !req
296. Once there was a poet,Copy !req
297. in the last century.Copy !req
298. A great poet.Copy !req
299. He was Greek...Copy !req
300. but he grew up and lived in Italy.Copy !req
301. One day, he learned
that the Greeks...Copy !req
302. who were under the Ottomans,
had taken up their weapons...Copy !req
303. to take back their freedom.Copy !req
304. Then, inside he felt awakening...Copy !req
305. his lost country, the years
of his childhood on the island,Copy !req
306. his mother's face,
who still lived there...Copy !req
307. He had no peace anymore.
He walked and was delirious.Copy !req
308. Every night, he dreamed of his mother...Copy !req
309. in her white bridal dress,Copy !req
310. who called to him.Copy !req
311. I made up my mind!Copy !req
312. "I'm leaving for Greece.
I cannot stay here."Copy !req
313. After so many centuries,
the Greeks took up their weapons.Copy !req
314. What can a poet do?Copy !req
315. Sing about the revolution,Copy !req
316. cry over the dead,Copy !req
317. invoke the lost face of freedom.Copy !req
318. The following day,
he took a boat in Venice,Copy !req
319. and went back to Greece,
to Zante...Copy !req
320. his island.Copy !req
321. He recognised the faces,
the colours, the perfumes...Copy !req
322. his house...Copy !req
323. but he didn't know the language.Copy !req
324. He wanted to sing of the revolution,Copy !req
325. but he couldn't speak
his mother tongue.Copy !req
326. Then he started going through
the popular districts...Copy !req
327. the fields, the fishermen's villages,Copy !req
328. noting down the words that he heard,Copy !req
329. and paying for those
that he heard for the first time.Copy !req
330. The news spread everywhere.Copy !req
331. "The poet buys words!"Copy !req
332. From then on, wherever he went,Copy !req
333. all the poor of the island
gathered, old and young,Copy !req
334. and seized upon him to sell him words.Copy !req
335. Abyss...Copy !req
336. Fragrant...Copy !req
337. Dew...Copy !req
338. Stream...Copy !req
339. Nightingales...Copy !req
340. Sky...Copy !req
341. Wave...Copy !req
342. Lake...Copy !req
343. Unknown...Copy !req
344. Embalm...Copy !req
345. Most light...Copy !req
346. Most light...
Tell me, last night, what did you see?Copy !req
347. A night enameled with prodigies...Copy !req
348. a night full of magic.Copy !req
349. Most... light.Copy !req
350. And so he wrote his Hymn to Liberty.Copy !req
351. Of course, he also wrote other poems...Copy !req
352. among which was a very long,
incomplete one,Copy !req
353. that he called The Free Besieged.Copy !req
354. He spent the rest of his life
trying to finish it.Copy !req
355. But he never did.
He lacked some words.Copy !req
356. I brought the dog, Ourania.Copy !req
357. I didn't have anywhere to leave him.Copy !req
358. My son is getting married.Copy !req
359. Forgive me, I didn't want
to spoil your feast.Copy !req
360. I don't know where to leave him.
I'm sorry...Copy !req
361. Let me come with you tomorrow.Copy !req
362. The bride is beautiful!Copy !req
363. You know, my daughter and her husband
sold the house on the beach.Copy !req
364. I Wish l...Copy !req
365. I think he's hungry.Copy !req
366. I see you smiling,
but you are sad.Copy !req
367. Do you want me
to bring you a few words?Copy !req
368. They'll cost you a lot!Copy !req
369. Stranger...Copy !req
370. Stranger... exile.Copy !req
371. Stranger everywhere...Copy !req
372. Do you understand that word?Copy !req
373. No.Copy !req
374. The women at the village said it.Copy !req
375. Do you want me
to bring you others?Copy !req
376. Where?
On the island, Anna?Copy !req
377. Mom, I'm afraid that
the sun might hurt you!Copy !req
378. I've been dreaming
of your father, lately.Copy !req
379. Every night.Copy !req
380. I miss him so much!Copy !req
381. He left us too early.Copy !req
382. - You were on a journey, as usual!
- My first book was published in France.Copy !req
383. You were never very close to him.Copy !req
384. You always contradicted him,Copy !req
385. and he suffered for that.Copy !req
386. But I returned as soon as I could.Copy !req
387. What are you two plotting?Copy !req
388. Your hat, Mother.Copy !req
389. - I should have stayed with the baby.
- Melpo and the children are with her.Copy !req
390. I should have stayed with the baby!Copy !req
391. Melpo is with her.
Don't worry!Copy !req
392. I try to kidnap you,
between one book and another.Copy !req
393. "You live your life close to us,
your daughter and me...Copy !req
394. "but not with us.Copy !req
395. "I know that one day you will leave.Copy !req
396. "The wind pushes your eyes away.Copy !req
397. "but today, give me this day,Copy !req
398. "as if it was the last.Copy !req
399. "Give me this day!"Copy !req
400. What are you thinking of?Copy !req
401. I'm going to climb up there!Copy !req
402. Traitor!Copy !req
403. Why you are angry, Anna?
Please! It won't take long.Copy !req
404. Please...Copy !req
405. It won't take me long.Copy !req
406. Traitor!Copy !req
407. Christos... Vassilis...
Alexandre... Summer '39.Copy !req
408. Good evening.Copy !req
409. Good evening, Doctor...Copy !req
410. Sorry, I was distracted.Copy !req
411. I was worried for you.
I feared that...Copy !req
412. It's spreading faster
than you thought... isn't it'?Copy !req
413. My body doesn't obey anymore...Copy !req
414. My body, whose edges vanish
in the mirror...Copy !req
415. and becomes a shade.Copy !req
416. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.
You said, when the pain gets strong.Copy !req
417. See...Copy !req
418. I didn't know how to tell you,Copy !req
419. my position wasn't easy...Copy !req
420. I had such admiration for you!Copy !req
421. Our generation grew up
reading your books and your poems.Copy !req
422. I have to go...Copy !req
423. Someone's waiting for me.Copy !req
424. Why did you disappear?
I looked for you...Copy !req
425. What happened?Copy !req
426. Sélim...Copy !req
427. Good evening.Copy !req
428. Who let you in'?
It's forbidden, don't you know'?Copy !req
429. A "boy of the red lights"
was brought here this afternoon...Copy !req
