00:00:59.025 --> 00:01:00.626
My name is Michelle McNally
3
00:01:00.994 --> 00:01:04.396
The older child of an Anglo lndian
family based in Shimla
4
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:10.636
This story is about me
and my teacher
5
00:01:11.371 --> 00:01:14.506
A story about two people
left incomplete by god...
6
00:01:15.275 --> 00:01:17.543
who have fought a battle
with fate...
7
00:01:17.677 --> 00:01:20.045
and made the impossible,
possible
8
00:01:20.914 --> 00:01:23.582
The world in my story
is different...
9
00:01:24.751 --> 00:01:28.120
where sound transcends
into silence...
10
00:01:30.924 --> 00:01:34.059
and light into darkness
11
00:01:35.995 --> 00:01:37.763
This is my world
12
00:01:37.764 --> 00:01:42.134
Where nothing can be
seen nor heard
13
00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:48.907
There is only one name
for my world...
14
00:02:00.086 --> 00:02:02.788
How long can you
live in this darkness?
15
00:02:03.156 --> 00:02:07.726
A few moments...
hours... days?
16
00:02:08.695 --> 00:02:12.498
For 40 years I've lived
in this darkness...
17
00:02:12.665 --> 00:02:16.468
for 4 years I've given
my final B.A. exam...
18
00:02:17.237 --> 00:02:20.439
and for twelve years, I've gone
to this church, every Sunday
19
00:02:21.941 --> 00:02:23.976
But that Sunday was special
20
00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:28.147
I felt God
would answer my prayers...
21
00:03:06.252 --> 00:03:09.421
my only prayer was...
Encoded By CharmeLeon
22
00:03:09.522 --> 00:03:13.392
that my teacher
would come back to me
23
00:03:16.296 --> 00:03:21.767
My prayers take long
to reach God...
24
00:03:22.535 --> 00:03:25.837
and he takes long
in granting them
25
00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:29.808
Even that Sunday I didn't
find my teacher
26
00:03:30.677 --> 00:03:33.145
That evening Sara
and I were returning home...
27
00:03:33.279 --> 00:03:34.479
when suddenly...
28
00:03:48.394 --> 00:03:49.461
Wait...
29
00:03:53.233 --> 00:03:55.500
Michelle, just wait for me, ok?
30
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.200
Oh my God!
31
00:04:29.502 --> 00:04:33.538
MlCHELLE!
MlCHELLE! MlCHELLE!
32
00:04:36.376 --> 00:04:39.911
MlCHELLE!
Your prayers have been answered...
33
00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:43.215
it's Debraj... he's there
near the fountain.
34
00:04:45.151 --> 00:04:51.590
It's true, I promise, yes promise!
Come! Yes. Yes
35
00:05:16.783 --> 00:05:19.551
That day my teacher
came back to me...
36
00:05:20.119 --> 00:05:23.088
after 1 2 years I recognized him...
37
00:05:23.222 --> 00:05:27.693
but he had forgotten everything...
38
00:05:28.861 --> 00:05:33.165
even me
39
00:05:33.766 --> 00:05:37.336
I am writing this story for him...
40
00:05:37.503 --> 00:05:40.405
to my teacher - Debraj Sahai
41
00:06:06.866 --> 00:06:09.935
He doesn't remember anything?
42
00:06:10.069 --> 00:06:11.770
Surely there must be something
we can do.
43
00:06:12.271 --> 00:06:16.942
Sara, Mr.Sahai
has Alzheimer's disease.
44
00:06:17.076 --> 00:06:20.579
He has forgotten everything.
It's a very scary void.
45
00:06:20.713 --> 00:06:24.316
Mr. Sahai has
even forgotten his bed.
46
00:06:24.484 --> 00:06:31.823
He has forgotten words,
even forgotten how to speak.
47
00:06:31.991 --> 00:06:35.260
No doctor.
I refuse to believe this...
48
00:06:35.428 --> 00:06:37.562
he must remember something...
49
00:06:37.697 --> 00:06:41.833
otherwise, after all these years,
to find him at our house...
50
00:06:43.770 --> 00:06:47.172
and Mr. Sahai can
never forget Michelle.
51
00:06:48.141 --> 00:06:51.243
Like a duster wipes the words
of a blackboard...
52
00:06:51.878 --> 00:06:56.648
the disease has slowly
wiped out all his memories.
53
00:06:57.216 --> 00:07:02.421
A few words or instances
might spark some memory...
54
00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:05.023
but Alzheimer's has no cure.
55
00:07:06.526 --> 00:07:07.959
What is Michelle doing?
56
00:07:09.228 --> 00:07:13.365
She wants to read to him
her life story, in Braille.
57
00:07:14.634 --> 00:07:20.539
Maybe by touching those words
he might remember something...
58
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:28.079
Michelle believes
that this miracle will happen.
59
00:07:29.882 --> 00:07:32.250
Science doesn't believe in miracles.
60
00:07:32.251 --> 00:07:34.753
It is impossible for him
to remember anything....
61
00:07:34.754 --> 00:07:40.058
Impossible is one word that
Mr. Sahai never taught Michelle
62
00:07:41.127 --> 00:07:44.229
And what you call impossible...
63
00:07:44.697 --> 00:07:47.265
she will make possible.
64
00:07:48.301 --> 00:07:51.269
You were written in my destiny...
65
00:07:51.471 --> 00:07:53.271
when I was 2 years old
66
00:07:53.439 --> 00:08:01.580
That night suddenly
all happiness left us....
67
00:08:02.114 --> 00:08:04.549
when my life
entered a black vaccuum
68
00:08:04.817 --> 00:08:09.788
Michelle.... my beautiful baby.
69
00:08:09.956 --> 00:08:14.493
You're not sick anymore...
now you can play in water.
70
00:08:16.829 --> 00:08:19.598
Look who has come! Papa!
71
00:08:19.732 --> 00:08:21.900
What has the doctor told papa?
72
00:08:22.034 --> 00:08:26.171
The doctor has said that
Michelle can't see or hear.
73
00:08:31.511 --> 00:08:32.744
What did you say?
74
00:08:34.146 --> 00:08:36.715
Our Michelle has gone
blind and deaf.
75
00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:56.501
Look at me! Michelle!
76
00:09:28.568 --> 00:09:31.036
I was like an animal
77
00:09:31.404 --> 00:09:33.838
Children loved playing
pranks on me.
78
00:09:34.707 --> 00:09:36.942
So did God.
79
00:09:37.543 --> 00:09:43.048
Mrs. Gomes! Who has tied
these cans on Michelle?
80
00:09:43.182 --> 00:09:46.484
Shh... calm down Michelle,
calm down, baby calm down.
81
00:10:02.468 --> 00:10:04.836
Fire! Fire! Mrs. McNally. Fire!
82
00:10:04.971 --> 00:10:09.374
Help Mrs.McNally
Help. Mrs.McNally
83
00:10:13.512 --> 00:10:17.282
For eight years... every day
a new accident
84
00:10:17.283 --> 00:10:20.685
Hurting someone with a knife,
or breaking her own head!
85
00:10:20.686 --> 00:10:22.454
She could have burnt
the whole house down.
86
00:10:22.622 --> 00:10:25.824
With Michelle,
We can never be happy.
87
00:10:25.958 --> 00:10:27.626
What are you trying to say?
88
00:10:27.627 --> 00:10:30.195
We will send her to an institution.
89
00:10:30.863 --> 00:10:34.065
You mean a mental asylum?
90
00:10:34.934 --> 00:10:37.736
How can you think that?
91
00:10:37.737 --> 00:10:41.039
Cathy, I love her just as much.
92
00:10:41.173 --> 00:10:42.974
But I still want to send her away.
93
00:10:43.142 --> 00:10:45.610
She could cause irreparable damage.
94
00:10:45.778 --> 00:10:48.613
No. I 'm sorry. I don't agree.
95
00:10:48.781 --> 00:10:51.516
There is no other solution.
96
00:10:51.517 --> 00:10:54.285
I have no more patience left.
97
00:10:55.454 --> 00:10:56.688
Sara! Oh my God!
98
00:10:59.892 --> 00:11:04.329
Enough of this...!
This child will be the death of us.
99
00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:05.597
Paul, leave her!
100
00:11:05.598 --> 00:11:09.601
She will not stay her another moment.
She almost... killed Sara.
101
00:11:13.005 --> 00:11:17.542
Let her go!
102
00:11:17.677 --> 00:11:20.445
It's not her fault.
103
00:11:20.646 --> 00:11:23.615
For God's sake!
104
00:11:24.283 --> 00:11:26.117
Try and understand her.
105
00:11:28.154 --> 00:11:31.022
You, l, everyone...
can see, listen and speak!
106
00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:37.162
She is suffocating
in her own darkness.
107
00:11:40.132 --> 00:11:41.966
My baby is suffering
108
00:11:49.475 --> 00:11:54.212
There's this school in Dehradun...
109
00:11:54.380 --> 00:11:57.882
where children like Michelle
are given special training.
110
00:11:58.317 --> 00:12:01.186
If you let me,
I can write for a teacher...
111
00:12:01.187 --> 00:12:03.455
We do not need a teacher...
112
00:12:03.889 --> 00:12:05.523
We need a magician.
113
00:12:06.192 --> 00:12:10.295
I don't want to hear anymore
that there is no cure for our Michelle.
114
00:12:10.663 --> 00:12:13.131
One Last time Paul.
115
00:12:13.165 --> 00:12:15.533
Maybe this is the teacher
who is the magician...
116
00:12:15.668 --> 00:12:19.070
who will bring light
into our Michelle's life.
117
00:12:30.683 --> 00:12:31.883
Debraj.
118
00:12:33.619 --> 00:12:36.087
Ah, Ms. Nair.
119
00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:41.092
Come into the light.
120
00:12:41.961 --> 00:12:45.964
What are you doing, Debraj?
You've just had your eyes operated.
121
00:12:46.132 --> 00:12:49.434
And now what are you doing
holding a dying bulb?
122
00:12:49.568 --> 00:12:51.803
This bulb is dying, Ms. Nair.
123
00:12:52.905 --> 00:12:54.539
I need to stand by it
124
00:12:55.708 --> 00:12:56.508
Am I right?
125
00:12:58.944 --> 00:13:02.881
It's.... it's dying.
126
00:13:06.385 --> 00:13:09.187
You've been drinking again all day.
Haven't you, Debraj?
127
00:13:09.188 --> 00:13:11.256
No, no...
128
00:13:12.224 --> 00:13:17.929
Trying to find a sign for light.
For my deaf and blind children...
129
00:13:18.998 --> 00:13:21.366
Whose light has been
taken away from them.
130
00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:31.476
Light... LlGHT!
131
00:13:31.610 --> 00:13:36.781
Just spell it, Debraj.
L.I.G.H.T. Light
132
00:13:36.782 --> 00:13:40.752
Ah! The difference between
a teacher... and a magician.
133
00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:43.755
You make me so angry
sometimes Debraj.
134
00:13:43.923 --> 00:13:46.291
Angry... Angry
135
00:13:46.425 --> 00:13:48.293
Stop this bullshit
136
00:13:48.294 --> 00:13:52.831
Bullshit Bullshit
Bull. Bull..Bull..shit Bull..shit
137
00:13:52.998 --> 00:13:55.466
I do not have time for your talks.
138
00:13:56.836 --> 00:13:59.003
I have some
very important news for you.
139
00:13:59.138 --> 00:14:00.939
Three guesses....
140
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:05.076
If it's my termination letter,
put it in the third drawer.
141
00:14:05.211 --> 00:14:07.378
If it's my last salary,
then it goes here in my pocket...
142
00:14:07.513 --> 00:14:10.982
and if it's a notice to vacate this room
then throw it in the dustbin.
143
00:14:11.116 --> 00:14:13.751
And, on your way to any of
these Ms Nair...
144
00:14:13.886 --> 00:14:15.420
could you please fetch me my...
145
00:14:15.454 --> 00:14:17.822
Eye-drops...from that
table over there. Thank you.
146
00:14:17.823 --> 00:14:19.891
You may have three guesses Debraj...
147
00:14:20.025 --> 00:14:22.927
but you have only one choice.
This letter.
148
00:14:23.662 --> 00:14:27.699
An eight-year girl,
in Shimla, Michelle.
149
00:14:27.833 --> 00:14:31.970
She can't see, she can't hear and
her parents don't understand her.
150
00:14:33.172 --> 00:14:35.306
You are their last hope Debraj.
151
00:14:35.975 --> 00:14:38.076
Otherwise they will put her
in the asylum.
152
00:14:38.077 --> 00:14:43.548
You are the best teacher I know.
She needs a teacher, you need a job.
153
00:14:43.682 --> 00:14:44.916
Look up
154
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.988
What do you see in this eye, Ms. Nair?
155
00:14:51.523 --> 00:14:52.857
A great love for me.
156
00:14:52.858 --> 00:14:54.993
You need to get your eyes checked.
157
00:14:59.632 --> 00:15:02.133
- And this one?
- Nothing
158
00:15:02.301 --> 00:15:06.204
Her name is Michelle, isn't it?
159
00:15:09.074 --> 00:15:11.309
I can see everything clearly.
160
00:15:13.245 --> 00:15:15.179
A beautiful morning...
161
00:15:16.782 --> 00:15:18.716
Snow covered streets...
162
00:15:19.785 --> 00:15:21.619
And that little girl...
163
00:15:22.388 --> 00:15:26.491
A lost soul, directionless.
164
00:15:27.626 --> 00:15:34.365
I will give her wings
made of words, Ms. Nair.
165
00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:37.535
I will teach her how to fly.
166
00:15:37.536 --> 00:15:44.042
You couldn't do anything for yourself
and you're out to change others' lives
167
00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:48.346
What happened, do your eyes hurt?
168
00:15:49.515 --> 00:15:51.549
No, not my eyes...
169
00:15:52.851 --> 00:15:57.522
My heart hurts...
170
00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:12.036
listening to your cruel words...
171
00:16:14.173 --> 00:16:22.146
It hurts... it hurts!
172
00:16:25.217 --> 00:16:28.920
that after spending thirty years
in this school...
173
00:16:29.054 --> 00:16:36.961
I 'm just an unseen unheard entity.
174
00:16:38.964 --> 00:16:44.702
When I saw the school
for the last time...
175
00:16:44.703 --> 00:16:51.342
my students were waving to me
in the wrong direction.
176
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.250
Waving to me in the
wrong direction Ms. Nair.
177
00:17:02.154 --> 00:17:06.157
Oh! It... it...
178
00:17:07.292 --> 00:17:08.659
It... hurts...
179
00:17:11.663 --> 00:17:12.830
It hurts.
180
00:17:19.471 --> 00:17:22.340
Destiny had put together
two strange soul- mates.
181
00:17:23.242 --> 00:17:26.344
I was left incomplete by god...
182
00:17:27.312 --> 00:17:30.515
and you were
a battle-weary warrior.
183
00:17:34.086 --> 00:17:36.220
I was waiting in my darkness...
184
00:17:37.222 --> 00:17:39.957
and you were bringing
the flickering light.
185
00:17:50.436 --> 00:17:53.538
Right. Where's the girl?
186
00:17:53.672 --> 00:17:56.874
This is all we needed.
An alcoholic teacher.
187
00:18:01.447 --> 00:18:04.415
Mmmm... Interesting.
188
00:18:06.652 --> 00:18:09.854
Playful, bit of a brat.
189
00:18:14.326 --> 00:18:16.060
And very pretty....
190
00:18:35.948 --> 00:18:41.219
Yes. Yes... someone new...
a new buddy.
191
00:18:48.861 --> 00:18:51.195
You like my glasses, don't you?
192
00:18:51.363 --> 00:18:55.166
Well... you can have them...
193
00:18:55.334 --> 00:18:58.336
here... there you go.

194
00:19:03.809 --> 00:19:04.942
Happy?
Encoded By CharmeLeon
195
00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:11.082
Teacher... Tea... cher
Encoded By CharmeLeon
196
00:19:14.553 --> 00:19:17.321
Mr. Sahai, she understands?
Encoded By CharmeLeon
197
00:19:17.489 --> 00:19:22.126
No, she's just imitating me.
198
00:19:22.261 --> 00:19:24.795
Good... good girl
199
00:19:32.371 --> 00:19:33.171
What is she doing?
200
00:19:33.305 --> 00:19:37.041
That's her sign for me.
Her mother
201
00:19:37.709 --> 00:19:42.580
- Oh, she's strong.
- I 'm really sorry, Mr. Sahai
202
00:19:42.714 --> 00:19:44.015
It's alright.
203
00:19:46.151 --> 00:19:47.351
What's this!
204
00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.554
What is this bell for?
205
00:19:49.688 --> 00:19:51.856
This is her identity
206
00:19:51.990 --> 00:19:55.493
If she is lost.
we find her through its sound.
207
00:19:55.627 --> 00:19:56.861
Take it off!
208
00:20:01.266 --> 00:20:04.936
When you think, that
your child is an animal...
209
00:20:05.037 --> 00:20:12.109
- What do you expect of others?
- It's your job to make her human.
210
00:20:12.244 --> 00:20:14.078
How do you plan to do this?
211
00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:16.881
These Fingers, Mr. McNally.
212
00:20:18.283 --> 00:20:20.451
They're eyes of the blind...
213
00:20:20.586 --> 00:20:22.320
Voice of the mute...
214
00:20:23.088 --> 00:20:24.622
poetry of the deaf.
215
00:20:26.625 --> 00:20:29.293
Raise it to a sword...
216
00:20:29.461 --> 00:20:31.896
clench it for strength.
217
00:20:32.064 --> 00:20:33.965
They can feed you and slap you,
218
00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:37.602
They can point you towards God
and sometimes... even the door.
219
00:20:39.137 --> 00:20:43.074
It isn't as easy as you make it seem.
220
00:20:43.208 --> 00:20:45.977
My daughter is like me...
221
00:20:46.111 --> 00:20:48.379
- Stubborn...
- lnsolent.
222
00:20:49.681 --> 00:20:51.515
Not you. Your daughter
223
00:20:51.650 --> 00:20:54.652
Lunch... will be served
shortly, Mr. Sahai.
224
00:20:54.786 --> 00:20:57.455
Thank you. Mrs. McNally,
I 'm so hungry.
225
00:21:06.598 --> 00:21:10.067
Thank you Lord, for the bread
on our plate
226
00:21:10.202 --> 00:21:14.138
for the air we breathe,
so fresh and pure.
227
00:21:14.306 --> 00:21:18.409
For kindness and faith,
we are thankful to Thee.
228
00:21:18.577 --> 00:21:23.748
Life's treasures and loved ones,
we hold and cherish.
229
00:21:34.126 --> 00:21:35.326
No!
230
00:21:35.661 --> 00:21:37.628
Leave her, Mr. Sahai.
231
00:21:37.763 --> 00:21:40.865
No. She has to learn how to behave.
232
00:21:40.999 --> 00:21:43.734
Leave her hand Mr. Sahai!
233
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:47.605
This is the only reason
she hasn't learnt anything.
234
00:21:48.707 --> 00:21:52.209
I will not tolerate this
in front of my guests.
235
00:21:52.344 --> 00:21:55.246
Michelle eats like this.
236
00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:59.317
Either she eats from her plate
or stays hungry.
237
00:21:59.451 --> 00:22:00.651
Am I understood?
238
00:22:00.919 --> 00:22:04.288
Let her eat, you will
get another plate.
239
00:22:04.289 --> 00:22:07.792
I... don't have a problem
with the plate, Mr. McNally.
240
00:22:08.026 --> 00:22:09.860
The plate... is fine.
241
00:22:09.995 --> 00:22:12.363
Let her go.
This is no way to teach.
242
00:22:12.497 --> 00:22:15.199
Don't you feel pity
for this handicapped child?
243
00:22:15.334 --> 00:22:17.902
Pity? And on this devil...?
244
00:22:18.003 --> 00:22:20.571
so she can do as she pleases?
245
00:22:20.739 --> 00:22:23.074
No Mr. McNally,
I have pity on you...
246
00:22:23.241 --> 00:22:25.643
and don't you dare
call her handicapped.
247
00:22:25.644 --> 00:22:28.813
That's enough!
248
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:32.283
Do not forget that you
are a paid servant in this house.
249
00:22:32.417 --> 00:22:34.385
A Teacher! Mr. McNally...
250
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.021
not a paid servant...
A paid teacher.
251
00:22:37.022 --> 00:22:39.190
Leave her, right now.
252
00:22:39.191 --> 00:22:40.658
No! You leave. All of you.
253
00:22:40.659 --> 00:22:42.526
Mr. Sahai,
handling Michelle like this...
254
00:22:42.527 --> 00:22:46.163
Mrs. McNally... you had said that
you'd cooperate.
255
00:22:46.298 --> 00:22:48.265
All right. there's no point in
going on like this.
256
00:22:48.266 --> 00:22:51.369
Let's give him a chance.
Let him do his job Paul.
257
00:22:51.503 --> 00:22:55.706
Leave!
258
00:23:10.622 --> 00:23:13.391
Martha, I 'm really sorry,
for today's lunch
259
00:23:13.525 --> 00:23:15.059
Don't worry Cathy.
260
00:23:15.193 --> 00:23:18.829
He's a new teacher, that's why.
Isn't it, Paul?
261
00:23:18.964 --> 00:23:21.732
Martha, I 'll drop you home.
262
00:23:23.702 --> 00:23:25.202
Paul, I will speak to Mr.Sahai...
263
00:23:30.842 --> 00:23:33.944
I am very hungry
I am going to eat...
264
00:23:34.613 --> 00:23:39.150
And if you behave
then you can eat too.
265
00:23:56.168 --> 00:23:57.401
Spoon!
266
00:24:00.338 --> 00:24:03.541
No. You will not use
your hands to eat your food.
267
00:24:03.675 --> 00:24:06.977
Open it, open it, open,
and open your hands.
268
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:08.979
Leave, leave it. Leave it.
269
00:24:09.314 --> 00:24:13.684
Sit. sit. sit. Sit down.
270
00:24:18.557 --> 00:24:21.292
You will not touch the food
with your hands.
271
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:23.093
Sit down... sit.
272
00:24:28.633 --> 00:24:30.067
Stop it... stop it.
273
00:24:30.202 --> 00:24:34.972
Just stop it, just stop it.
Stop it. Just stop it,
274
00:24:35.106 --> 00:24:38.776
Just just stop it.
STOP lT.
275
00:24:40.011 --> 00:24:42.346
Spoon. Spoon.
276
00:24:46.418 --> 00:24:49.286
There is going to be no mother.
Your mother's not here.
277
00:24:49.287 --> 00:24:51.489
Just your teacher.
278
00:24:51.490 --> 00:24:52.857
Your teacher... just me
279
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.993
Where you going?
280
00:24:58.096 --> 00:25:00.264
Where do you think
you are going...
281
00:25:00.265 --> 00:25:03.734
you are not going to
go out... don't...
282
00:25:04.903 --> 00:25:07.071
Wait... where do you think
you are running from?
283
00:25:07.205 --> 00:25:08.639
You are not going out...
284
00:25:10.642 --> 00:25:14.245
come along... with me...
come on.
285
00:25:15.847 --> 00:25:17.047
Come here... Sit.
286
00:25:17.849 --> 00:25:22.586
You are going to eat your food
with a spoon. Come on.
287
00:25:23.054 --> 00:25:28.859
You are going to eat your food
with a spoon, come on,
288
00:25:28.994 --> 00:25:31.161
Open your mouth... Open it...
289
00:25:31.296 --> 00:25:32.630
Open your mouth...
290
00:25:32.764 --> 00:25:37.935
Open, Open it...
open it. Open it, open it.
291
00:25:38.069 --> 00:25:42.506
Yes. yes. yes... very good.
292
00:25:47.479 --> 00:25:49.046
You little brat....
293
00:25:54.452 --> 00:25:56.186
That should cool you down.
294
00:25:57.355 --> 00:25:59.723
This is no way to teach...
295
00:26:04.796 --> 00:26:06.730
We thank you Lord
296
00:26:09.401 --> 00:26:11.835
For the food on this plate...
297
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.474
For the air we breathe.
298
00:26:17.943 --> 00:26:21.211
So pure and clear.
299
00:26:21.746 --> 00:26:27.384
For good health and peace.
For beauty and love.
300
00:26:27.619 --> 00:26:29.086
Please don't make
a hasty decision
301
00:26:29.087 --> 00:26:31.288
Paul I know that his way
of teaching is eccentric...
302
00:26:31.289 --> 00:26:33.857
He's rude, he's arrogant,
and he's an alcoholic.
303
00:26:33.992 --> 00:26:35.225
He's not fit to be a teacher.
304
00:26:35.226 --> 00:26:37.595
But, you didn't see
what he did today...
305
00:26:37.729 --> 00:26:42.099
- Michelle actually ate today with...
- What do you want Cathy?
306
00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:45.536
Get insulted in my own house?
307
00:26:48.373 --> 00:26:51.241
- No.
- Then he's got to go.
308
00:26:51.409 --> 00:26:53.344
I hope you understand.
309
00:27:00.251 --> 00:27:03.053
The woods are lovely...
dark and deep
310
00:27:03.054 --> 00:27:05.990
- But I have promises to keep...
- Mr. Sahai...
311
00:27:06.124 --> 00:27:09.226
And miles to go before I can
find the damn envelope. Ah, yes!
312
00:27:09.361 --> 00:27:12.463
I need to talk to you, Mr. Sahai.
Are you busy?
313
00:27:12.597 --> 00:27:16.834
No. Not at all. I was just writing
to my friend, about Michelle.
314
00:27:16.968 --> 00:27:21.939
She has learnt her first lesson
today... etiquette, behavior.
315
00:27:23.241 --> 00:27:24.775
That you do not possess.
316
00:27:25.410 --> 00:27:27.878
Anyway I 'll skip the pleasantries.
317
00:27:28.046 --> 00:27:31.915
I want you to leave this house.
318
00:27:32.050 --> 00:27:36.720
I will not leave without
completing my job.
319
00:27:37.422 --> 00:27:39.623
I 've only just started.
Still a long way to go. You know.
320
00:27:39.624 --> 00:27:43.327
I don't like the way you teach.
321
00:27:43.461 --> 00:27:46.764
And I don't like your interference.
322
00:27:46.898 --> 00:27:53.237
This is your train ticket... Cheque.
And your termination letter.
323
00:27:57.342 --> 00:28:02.379
We don't need you anymore.
You're taking the first train tomorrow.
324
00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:04.615
And Michelle takes the next
to the mental asylum?
325
00:28:05.884 --> 00:28:09.887
Now she's deaf blind and also
mentally retarded.
326
00:28:09.888 --> 00:28:12.389
My daughter... is my responsibility.
327
00:28:12.390 --> 00:28:14.224
And mine too, Mr. McNally.
328
00:28:15.293 --> 00:28:17.027
You do understand that this will...
329
00:28:17.162 --> 00:28:19.229
destroy her completely.
330
00:28:22.167 --> 00:28:26.103
Train will leave exactly at seven.
331
00:28:26.671 --> 00:28:32.676
And please... put this back
where it belongs. Good night.
332
00:28:33.545 --> 00:28:34.845
Goodnight.
333
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.319
Goodnight!
334
00:28:44.689 --> 00:28:46.924
Mr. Sahai must have left by now.
335
00:28:47.826 --> 00:28:53.497
We'll talk about Michelle
after I return.
336
00:29:06.211 --> 00:29:09.813
What is happening in this house?
Mrs. Gomes!
337
00:29:11.649 --> 00:29:13.050
What is going on here?
338
00:29:13.418 --> 00:29:14.885
This is ridiculous.
339
00:29:15.053 --> 00:29:19.423
Mrs. Gomes, I don't understand what
is going on in this house today.
340
00:29:19.424 --> 00:29:22.326
Good morning, Mrs. McNally.
And how are you today?
341
00:29:22.327 --> 00:29:24.094
Mr Sahai...?
342
00:29:24.095 --> 00:29:26.196
We thought you would have left.
343
00:29:26.197 --> 00:29:29.399
Just shifting rooms Mrs. McNally.
I never leave my work incomplete.
344
00:29:29.534 --> 00:29:30.734
What do you want?
345
00:29:31.703 --> 00:29:34.905
Same thing you want... that
Michelle becomes independent.
346
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.741
And for that, I need time.
347
00:29:37.876 --> 00:29:40.277
You know that Paul...
348
00:29:40.278 --> 00:29:41.378
Has gone out for twenty days.
349
00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:43.814
And those twenty days
belong to Michelle and me.
350
00:29:43.815 --> 00:29:45.983
Now, don't say No, Mrs. McNally.
351
00:29:45.984 --> 00:29:51.021
No! It's not possible. You won't
take advantage of Paul's absence.
352
00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:58.662
Oh my God! Oh my God!...
I don't believe this!
353
00:29:58.830 --> 00:30:00.264
This is ridiculous.
354
00:30:00.265 --> 00:30:01.965
I don't believe this!
What have you done?
355
00:30:01.966 --> 00:30:05.869
- This is Paul's study...
- Now this will be Michelle's study.
356
00:30:06.004 --> 00:30:09.106
- Mrs. Gomes! Put that back!
- No, Ma'am, he's right!
357
00:30:09.874 --> 00:30:12.342
Oh ho! So the servants also
listen to you now!
358
00:30:12.477 --> 00:30:15.245
Who are you to take over my house?
359
00:30:17.081 --> 00:30:18.182
Michelle's teacher.
360
00:30:18.316 --> 00:30:23.020
Were... were Mr. Sahai,
not anymore.
361
00:30:23.021 --> 00:30:27.658
I am your last hope.
362
00:30:28.326 --> 00:30:32.529
If I leave today
then after a few days...
363
00:30:33.331 --> 00:30:34.898
Michelle will reach the asylum.
364
00:30:34.899 --> 00:30:38.302
Mr Sahai... Mr Sahai!
365
00:30:38.436 --> 00:30:39.870
Mr Sahai!
366
00:30:40.004 --> 00:30:41.205
Yes?
367
00:30:42.407 --> 00:30:46.343
As long as I live, my daughter
will never enter the asylum.
368
00:30:46.778 --> 00:30:47.678
Do you understand?
369
00:30:50.949 --> 00:30:52.683
My mother always...
370
00:30:54.085 --> 00:30:55.519
said the same thing.
371
00:30:58.356 --> 00:30:59.857
That as long as I live...
372
00:31:01.326 --> 00:31:04.294
my daughter will never leave me.
373
00:31:06.331 --> 00:31:13.170
But one day, she herself...
374
00:31:17.976 --> 00:31:20.444
Dragged her to the asylum.
375
00:31:25.183 --> 00:31:36.793
And she got lost behind
the asylum's iron doors.
376
00:31:42.901 --> 00:31:46.770
Michelle is deaf and
blind, Mrs McNally!
377
00:31:46.771 --> 00:31:50.173
She is not mentally retarded!
378
00:31:54.579 --> 00:32:00.817
She need to recognize words...
379
00:32:02.287 --> 00:32:06.790
Every thing that she touches,
that she eats...
380
00:32:08.393 --> 00:32:11.762
Has a name, which has a meaning.
381
00:32:11.930 --> 00:32:14.498
I will teach her to speak...
382
00:32:14.632 --> 00:32:18.669
through signs.
383
00:32:19.971 --> 00:32:25.375
Till she is secure in her house,
this can't happen.
384
00:32:25.376 --> 00:32:29.212
That's why!
385
00:32:30.081 --> 00:32:31.381
Firstly...
386
00:32:32.483 --> 00:32:35.052
I will have to change
this part of the house.
387
00:32:35.186 --> 00:32:40.257
Everything should be new for her.
388
00:32:40.491 --> 00:32:44.161
No papers, no books...
Only empty walls.
389
00:32:44.195 --> 00:32:45.862
I 'll even change
the smell of this room.
390
00:32:45.863 --> 00:32:48.799
Secondly, only I will have
a right over Michelle.
391
00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:51.401
She will rely only on me!
392
00:32:51.402 --> 00:32:53.270
Third thing, no one including you
will be allowed here.
393
00:32:53.271 --> 00:32:56.406
No, no no... don't shake your head!
Look at me... look!
394
00:32:56.407 --> 00:33:01.478
It's difficult but it will
have to be done for Michelle.
395
00:33:01.612 --> 00:33:04.548
Fourth thing, all I want is
time and trust.
396
00:33:04.682 --> 00:33:10.187
No salary, no allowances,
nothing and... no alcohol
397
00:33:10.955 --> 00:33:13.924
And the fifth thing...
398
00:33:18.029 --> 00:33:23.900
So, when do I get
charge of my student?
399
00:33:28.973 --> 00:33:30.207
This evening.
400
00:33:40.551 --> 00:33:46.323
You know. Mrs. McNally,
I wish I could sing...
401
00:33:46.324 --> 00:33:50.327
but my singing is so... pathetic.
402
00:34:08.112 --> 00:34:15.052
Dear Ms. Nair,
I have good news.
403
00:34:16.754 --> 00:34:25.395
You will be unhappy to know that
the magician is at work
404
00:34:26.564 --> 00:34:30.767
Today is Michelle's first day...
405
00:34:30.768 --> 00:34:31.968
- Mr. Sahai...
- In school.
406
00:34:36.574 --> 00:34:38.008
Your student.
407
00:34:39.077 --> 00:34:40.811
You kept your promise, Mrs. McNally
408
00:34:44.082 --> 00:34:47.517
School has started,
409
00:34:47.518 --> 00:34:51.755
and parents are not allowed.
So you should leave.
410
00:34:57.428 --> 00:35:00.931
I have never left her alone.
411
00:35:01.065 --> 00:35:05.802
Please take care of her.
Don't be harsh on her
412
00:35:06.003 --> 00:35:07.003
No.
413
00:35:11.008 --> 00:35:13.910
- She is looking for me.
- Yes I know.
414
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.181
She's going to come to you now.
Leave, Mrs. McNally.
415
00:35:18.316 --> 00:35:19.850
Please leave. Get back.
416
00:35:27.291 --> 00:35:29.659
- No, I can't take this...
- 20 days!
417
00:35:29.794 --> 00:35:31.795
- You cannot touch her for 20 days.
- But its time for her to eat.
418
00:35:31.796 --> 00:35:33.563
Yes I know Mrs. McNally.
You must leave now.
419
00:35:33.564 --> 00:35:35.832
- Please. Please. Can l...?
- I said leave.
420
00:35:51.082 --> 00:35:57.187
NO! No. No more mother.
No more father. Just me.
421
00:35:57.321 --> 00:36:00.423
Me, your friend. Your Friend.
Look see see ya ya, your teacher.
422
00:36:00.558 --> 00:36:06.396
Friend. Friend!
423
00:36:26.117 --> 00:36:33.523
The magic has begun, Ms. Nair!
The magic!
424
00:36:33.658 --> 00:36:36.526
I will change her life.
425
00:36:36.594 --> 00:36:40.964
The magic has begun!
Magic!
426
00:36:58.516 --> 00:37:05.689
Wake up, Miss... Michelle McNally.
We all pass through this darkness
427
00:37:05.823 --> 00:37:08.291
Once in which you are living.
428
00:37:09.493 --> 00:37:15.398
So don't remain in the dark.
429
00:37:15.933 --> 00:37:21.037
Come into the light!
Light. Light.
430
00:37:21.172 --> 00:37:25.875
Yes! Yes! Yes! Light!
431
00:37:27.845 --> 00:37:30.247
The alphabets for the world start
with A, B, C, D, E but yours...
432
00:37:30.248 --> 00:37:37.821
Start with B, L, A, C, K...
433
00:37:39.924 --> 00:37:43.226
Black, black, black
434
00:37:46.297 --> 00:37:49.499
Your alphabets, your world
are different Michelle.
435
00:37:49.634 --> 00:37:54.604
You are different, you are, you are,
and you are different...
436
00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:58.942
And are proud that you're different.
437
00:38:14.058 --> 00:38:20.897
Here. This is cake.
Yes cake, C.cake, C.A.K.E.
438
00:38:22.066 --> 00:38:29.239
Cake. C.A.K.E. Cake. Cake.
439
00:38:29.373 --> 00:38:35.245
C.A.K.E. spell it.
Spell it spell... cake
440
00:38:35.413 --> 00:38:37.914
cake on my hands.
Spell it. Spell it.
441
00:38:37.915 --> 00:38:41.851
Cake. Cake.
442
00:38:45.856 --> 00:38:51.227
Don't you dare touch the cake!
443
00:38:51.996 --> 00:38:55.732
Mrs. McNally, could you...
444
00:38:55.866 --> 00:39:02.605
Mrs, Mrs McNally,
could you get some light?
445
00:39:02.707 --> 00:39:04.507
I 'm coming! I 'm coming.

446
00:39:05.276 --> 00:39:07.644
Oh God! Is Michelle all right?
Encoded By CharmeLeon
447
00:39:07.645 --> 00:39:09.746
Can you get some light? Oh. Oh!
448
00:39:11.549 --> 00:39:15.118
Mr. Sahai! Mr. Sahai
Encoded By CharmeLeon
449
00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.822
- Good evening Mrs. McNally
- Do you need any help?
450
00:39:18.823 --> 00:39:21.725
Do I look... as though
I need some help?
451
00:39:22.293 --> 00:39:25.895
Well, that looked
like a knockout to me.
452
00:39:26.030 --> 00:39:28.498
Knockout, Knockout yes.
453
00:39:33.738 --> 00:39:39.976
Eyes are not important
as compared to light.
454
00:39:40.111 --> 00:39:41.911
I have learnt this,
while teaching Michelle.
455
00:39:43.814 --> 00:39:47.450
In darkness, even eyes are of no use.
456
00:39:51.889 --> 00:39:58.728
The first round was a knock out.
But the next round will be mine.
457
00:40:00.531 --> 00:40:02.365
Good luck to you, Mr. Sahai.
458
00:40:03.134 --> 00:40:04.567
Good luck.
Encoded By CharmeLeon
459
00:40:07.004 --> 00:40:10.407
Come along, yes,
come along... Here!
460
00:40:10.741 --> 00:40:15.478
This is water. No, no...
don't be afraid. don't be afraid.
461
00:40:15.613 --> 00:40:18.748
- Mr. Sahai..
- Yes?
462
00:40:18.883 --> 00:40:21.718
Michelle is scared of water.
463
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:26.423
And I want to take this
fear out of her mind.
464
00:40:26.724 --> 00:40:29.325
In five days, she will be swimming.
465
00:40:29.326 --> 00:40:30.994
Round Two has begun.
466
00:40:30.995 --> 00:40:33.329
Hey! Where are you going?
Come here.
467
00:40:35.132 --> 00:40:38.168
Where are you going?
Come back...
468
00:40:38.169 --> 00:40:42.539
careful, careful.
Careful now. Watch it! Watch it!
469
00:40:42.540 --> 00:40:43.840
Watch out!
I told you to be careful.
470
00:40:43.841 --> 00:40:48.478
Calm down. Calm down, calm down.
This is a thorn.
471
00:40:56.153 --> 00:40:57.587
Balm,
472
00:41:06.096 --> 00:41:07.297
balm.
473
00:41:09.733 --> 00:41:11.367
To soothe the pain.
474
00:41:21.111 --> 00:41:23.546
Your first handshake, Mr. Sahai.
475
00:41:23.881 --> 00:41:27.016
Yes, we're friends now.
476
00:41:34.859 --> 00:41:38.695
And... my first flying kiss.
477
00:41:40.598 --> 00:41:47.871
She needs to learn that
she is destined to thorns.
478
00:41:51.141 --> 00:41:54.110
Those very thorns that adorned
Jesus's crown.
479
00:42:03.053 --> 00:42:05.622
Right Mrs. McNally?
480
00:42:07.124 --> 00:42:08.124
Yes!
481
00:42:24.642 --> 00:42:27.410
I was slowly understanding
relationships...
482
00:42:27.878 --> 00:42:33.016
Between a thorn and pain...
between water and thirst...
483
00:42:33.984 --> 00:42:35.318
Bird...
484
00:42:35.452 --> 00:42:37.887
But one relationship
was still strange to me...
485
00:42:39.390 --> 00:42:41.024
Of names and meanings.
486
00:42:41.025 --> 00:42:42.191
Bird...
487
00:42:47.264 --> 00:42:52.769
Ball. B.A.L.L.
ball. ball.. ball..
488
00:43:06.483 --> 00:43:16.225
W.A.T.E.R.
489
00:43:17.861 --> 00:43:21.264
Water. water... water
490
00:43:30.474 --> 00:43:34.177
This is... Napkin...
491
00:43:36.213 --> 00:43:40.950
- SPOON
- No. no. This is not spoon
492
00:43:41.085 --> 00:43:48.958
This is... napkin, Napkin..
Say ' Napkin' .
493
00:43:52.129 --> 00:43:53.796
Ah! I am fed up.
494
00:44:03.641 --> 00:44:07.276
No, Mrs. McNally, I will not
allow you to take Michelle yet
495
00:44:07.411 --> 00:44:08.845
She hasn't learnt anything yet.
496
00:44:08.979 --> 00:44:12.682
She knows words,
but not the meanings.
497
00:44:12.816 --> 00:44:14.917
She still calls napkin, spoon.
498
00:44:14.918 --> 00:44:15.952
It's still a long way to go, you know
499
00:44:15.953 --> 00:44:17.987
How much longer Mr. Sahai?
500
00:44:18.122 --> 00:44:19.455
Nineteen days have passed
501
00:44:19.456 --> 00:44:22.625
The promise was for 20 days,
I still have a few hours
502
00:44:22.626 --> 00:44:25.194
What can happen in a few hours?
503
00:44:26.363 --> 00:44:27.997
Knowledge can
come in a flash Mrs.McNally.
504
00:44:27.998 --> 00:44:30.400
It's like lighting a candle....
505
00:44:30.534 --> 00:44:33.736
Once this candle is lit, the whole
house will be filled with light.
506
00:44:33.871 --> 00:44:35.972
Believe me, this miracle
can happen any time...
507
00:44:35.973 --> 00:44:40.743
And Paul can come at any moment.
I 'm really very sorry.
508
00:44:41.812 --> 00:44:46.449
I will come to get Michelle tomorrow.
At sunrise
509
00:44:48.152 --> 00:44:52.889
And I shall pray there is
no sunrise tomorrow, Mrs McNally
510
00:44:53.023 --> 00:44:54.157
Good night
511
00:45:13.644 --> 00:45:14.644
What?
512
00:45:15.612 --> 00:45:19.849
You've made a fine young lady
out of my Michelle!
513
00:45:25.923 --> 00:45:48.311
Thank you.
514
00:46:00.157 --> 00:46:01.057
Spoon...
515
00:46:24.348 --> 00:46:30.753
Try and understand Michelle,
every word has a meaning.
516
00:46:30.888 --> 00:46:35.725
And without words, you will
never come out of darkness.
517
00:46:35.859 --> 00:46:39.595
You will never be able
to see the light!
518
00:46:40.297 --> 00:46:44.600
You will you will never be
able to see the light.
519
00:46:44.768 --> 00:46:47.236
They will put this bell around you
and call you a cow.
520
00:46:47.371 --> 00:46:50.373
C.O.W... cow.
521
00:46:50.507 --> 00:46:53.810
You will become an animal Michelle.
Just an animal
522
00:46:53.944 --> 00:46:56.112
Michelle...
523
00:46:56.246 --> 00:46:59.315
They will put you in an asylum.
524
00:46:59.483 --> 00:47:01.450
And this time
I won't let this happen.
525
00:47:01.585 --> 00:47:05.454
You will have to learn Michelle.
Are you listening?
526
00:47:05.455 --> 00:47:10.259
You are my last hope.
Michelle, Michelle...
527
00:47:10.260 --> 00:47:12.295
- Michelle, are you listening?
- You'll have to leave now Mr. Sahai.
528
00:47:12.296 --> 00:47:14.997
No, I am not going to
leave Mrs. McNally
529
00:47:15.699 --> 00:47:17.567
I will not give up so easily.
530
00:47:17.568 --> 00:47:19.535
I have kept my promise.
Now it's your turn.
531
00:47:19.536 --> 00:47:23.406
But it's not yet over Mrs. McNally.
There are still a few minutes left.
532
00:47:23.407 --> 00:47:26.442
Paul can come at any moment.
Mr. Sahai. I 'm helpless
533
00:47:26.443 --> 00:47:28.578
Yes. Mrs. McNally.
But she has to learn.
534
00:47:28.579 --> 00:47:30.580
- Mr. Sahai...
- She has to learn...
535
00:47:30.714 --> 00:47:34.517
that the hand she is holding has a name.
That you are mother,
536
00:47:34.651 --> 00:47:40.790
mother... M.O.T.H.E.R... mother.
537
00:47:45.896 --> 00:47:47.430
and that is FATHER.
538
00:47:51.702 --> 00:47:54.337
- Paul, I was just...
- Leave, Mr. Sahai.
539
00:48:20.964 --> 00:48:25.001
Dear Ms. Nair, you will be
delighted to know...
540
00:48:25.002 --> 00:48:29.772
that after having spent 20 days
with little Michelle, I have failed.
541
00:48:30.540 --> 00:48:35.344
However, if you're smiling
at the thought of looking into my eyes again...
542
00:48:35.812 --> 00:48:37.747
you are terribly mistaken.
543
00:48:48.125 --> 00:48:51.127
Mrs.Gomes, will you stop her?
544
00:48:51.128 --> 00:48:54.897
Let her be Mr. Sahai.
She's very happy today
545
00:48:58.635 --> 00:49:02.071
No! Stop it Michelle.
You little brat.
546
00:49:02.072 --> 00:49:05.308
I am not going to allow you
to do this to me.
547
00:49:06.076 --> 00:49:08.477
I might have been asked to leave...
548
00:49:08.478 --> 00:49:12.615
but I am not going to leave you
to behave like this.
549
00:49:17.220 --> 00:49:19.388
Stop it Michelle.
Stop it!
550
00:49:19.389 --> 00:49:23.259
You won't forget what I 've
taught you in 20 days... sit down
551
00:49:23.260 --> 00:49:25.761
- Please leave her Mr. Sahai...
- Sit... sit down.
552
00:49:25.762 --> 00:49:31.467
You will use this napkin on your
neck and use a spoon... to eat.
553
00:49:31.468 --> 00:49:34.070
No, you are not going to throw...
554
00:49:58.462 --> 00:50:00.029
Come on, Come here...
555
00:50:02.132 --> 00:50:04.700
You brat... you want to
throw water at me!
556
00:50:04.835 --> 00:50:10.106
Let me teach you what water is!
Come here! What water is, come on!
557
00:50:10.307 --> 00:50:16.212
This is water... water... water...
558
00:50:16.346 --> 00:50:20.583
Give me your hand.. This is woah...
Water... water...
559
00:50:20.717 --> 00:50:22.451
Understand? Water!
560
00:51:37.294 --> 00:51:47.369
Woah!
561
00:51:51.108 --> 00:51:55.044
Water... it's water...
562
00:51:55.212 --> 00:52:00.883
W.A.T.E.R.
563
00:52:24.107 --> 00:52:25.508
Mrs. McNally!
564
00:52:33.183 --> 00:52:40.656
Yes... this is 'Grass' .
G.R.A.S.S. spell it..
565
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:45.161
Very good... Very good..
Mrs. McNally!
566
00:52:46.429 --> 00:52:54.003
That's 'FLOWER' flower...
flower... F.L.O.W.E.R... flower.
567
00:52:54.171 --> 00:53:00.442
Mrs. McNally! Mr. McNally!
Mr. McNally! Mr. McNally!
568
00:53:02.012 --> 00:53:05.614
What's wrong Mr. Sahai?
Is Michelle all right?
569
00:53:05.749 --> 00:53:08.751
Michelle. Michelle she...
Mrs. McNally. She knows.
570
00:53:09.186 --> 00:53:11.253
She knows, She knows
the meaning of words.
571
00:53:11.254 --> 00:53:14.490
She actually. actually
knows the meaning of words.
572
00:53:14.624 --> 00:53:16.058
Look. Look!
573
00:53:19.529 --> 00:53:22.398
Yes, Michelle...

Yes...
583
00:55:19.683 --> 00:55:22.384
Yes, he's your Tee
584
00:55:41.204 --> 00:55:42.938
Dear Ms. Nair...
585
00:55:48.812 --> 00:55:50.779
You'll be happy to know....
586
00:55:53.783 --> 00:55:55.217
That I have...
587
00:56:00.390 --> 00:56:01.757
I have...
588
00:56:30.153 --> 00:56:34.189
That day you had won your
first battle over my darkness.
589
00:56:35.492 --> 00:56:37.526
But today you don't
remember anything.
590
00:56:38.828 --> 00:56:41.296
Now I will fight
against your darkness.
591
00:56:42.265 --> 00:56:47.136
I'll teach you everything
you taught me
592
00:57:42.792 --> 00:57:46.728
Water. The first word
that you taught me...
593
00:57:47.163 --> 00:57:49.965
and after that...
594
00:57:50.834 --> 00:57:56.872
You typed every little
detail on my hand....
595
00:57:57.340 --> 00:58:01.477
like a maestro playing a symphony
596
00:58:04.380 --> 00:58:05.380
Cathy!
597
00:58:06.049 --> 00:58:07.483
Martha...
598
00:58:07.617 --> 00:58:11.420
When did you return from London?
Oh! It's so good to see you.
599
00:58:11.621 --> 00:58:13.655
Merry Christmas.
600
00:58:15.792 --> 00:58:19.695
- Mr. McNally...
- Coming, Mr Sahai. Just a moment
601
00:58:20.263 --> 00:58:23.131
I 'd like you to meet Mr. Fernandez,
602
00:58:23.132 --> 00:58:25.634
principal of the
King Edward University.
603
00:58:25.635 --> 00:58:28.570
I want Michelle to study
in their college
604
00:58:28.705 --> 00:58:31.206
It's an honor to meet you,
Mr. Fernandez.
605
00:58:31.841 --> 00:58:33.709
I don't believe how time
has passed, Martha
606
00:58:33.710 --> 00:58:35.477
Let me prove it to you...
607
00:58:37.046 --> 00:58:37.846
Hello... Come
608
00:58:41.084 --> 00:58:42.384
Did you recognize her?
609
00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:47.155
- My younger daughter
- Sara
610
00:58:47.156 --> 00:58:49.558
Sara, this is aunt Martha,
an old friend of mine
611
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.494
- Oh! Hello, aunt Martha...
- But where is my dear Michelle?
612
00:58:52.495 --> 00:58:54.463
- I can't wait to see her
- Ah Michelle.
613
00:58:54.464 --> 00:58:55.831
Have you seen Michelle?
614
00:58:58.034 --> 00:59:00.836
Yes... I think
she's inside, excuse me.
615
00:59:01.471 --> 00:59:06.542
Come... we'll go look for her.
616
00:59:37.006 --> 00:59:38.473
Ah! There she is
617
01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:38.767
Mr. Sahai. Look at that girl.
618
01:00:38.768 --> 01:00:42.371
She can't hear or see, and still...
619
01:00:42.505 --> 01:00:44.973
just look at her,
it's wonderful.
620
01:00:46.876 --> 01:00:48.944
That's Michelle McNally...
621
01:00:51.147 --> 01:00:55.417
- The girl I was talking about.
- That's impossible Mr. Sahai.
622
01:00:55.485 --> 01:01:00.022
Impossible is a word that I have
never taught her Mr. Fernandez.
623
01:01:00.023 --> 01:01:02.691
There are special schools
for such children...
624
01:01:02.892 --> 01:01:05.627
where they are taught many things.
625
01:01:07.296 --> 01:01:11.733
To make baskets, weave carpets...
626
01:01:12.602 --> 01:01:18.140
Have you heard of a girl like Michelle
getting admission in a normal college?
627
01:01:18.141 --> 01:01:19.441
No.
628
01:01:20.209 --> 01:01:21.576
But I would love to.
629
01:01:21.577 --> 01:01:24.179
How will she understand
the lectures?
630
01:01:24.180 --> 01:01:26.448
I will sit with her
in the classroom.
631
01:01:26.482 --> 01:01:29.685
She will learn everything
through signs
632
01:01:29.686 --> 01:01:32.054
Every word, every letter.
633
01:01:34.357 --> 01:01:40.562
Michelle... meet your Principal
634
01:01:46.703 --> 01:01:50.205
Yes yes... I 've told him...
635
01:01:50.339 --> 01:01:52.908
you want admission in arts,
not science
636
01:01:53.476 --> 01:01:57.679
Mr. Sahai I will have to consult
the trustees on this.
637
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:03.385
You get few chances
for good deeds.
638
01:02:04.053 --> 01:02:07.222
And I hope that you will
not lose this opportunity.
639
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:11.359
Cheers?
640
01:02:11.928 --> 01:02:20.068
Mr. Sahai, you know this university
is for normal students.
641
01:02:20.203 --> 01:02:23.071
But because of your faith
in Michelle...
642
01:02:23.206 --> 01:02:25.273
and because we believe
you are a good teacher...
643
01:02:25.408 --> 01:02:28.610
- We will interview Michelle.
- Thank you.
644
01:02:28.745 --> 01:02:31.747
But today, you cannot
interpret for Michelle.
645
01:02:31.881 --> 01:02:37.152
We have called a special teacher,
who doesn't know either of you.
646
01:02:37.286 --> 01:02:38.420
- She will interpret.
- They will interview you.
647
01:02:38.554 --> 01:02:41.757
Another interpreter, not me, ok?
648
01:02:49.132 --> 01:02:50.932
Ah, there she is.
649
01:02:54.670 --> 01:02:55.570
Mrs Nair...?
650
01:02:56.172 --> 01:02:58.807
Welcome Ms.Nair, meet Mr. Sahai.
651
01:02:59.609 --> 01:03:01.176
- Hello, Ms. Nair.
- Hello.
652
01:03:01.177 --> 01:03:02.477
Light
653
01:03:12.955 --> 01:03:16.358
Are you ready for the interview?
654
01:03:18.694 --> 01:03:19.594
We're ready, Sir.
655
01:03:23.432 --> 01:03:25.367
Why does she want to study?
656
01:03:26.035 --> 01:03:28.603
Why do you want to study?
657
01:03:30.206 --> 01:03:32.574
I want to study...
658
01:03:32.708 --> 01:03:37.179
and learn...
so that I may live with dignity,
659
01:03:37.313 --> 01:03:40.615
with independence...
and to be alive.
660
01:03:41.050 --> 01:03:46.254
How many oceans are
there in the world?
661
01:03:47.723 --> 01:03:54.596
For me every drop of water
is an ocean
662
01:03:54.597 --> 01:03:56.665
She is not answering my question.
663
01:03:57.433 --> 01:03:59.634
How many oceans
are there in the world?
664
01:03:59.635 --> 01:04:03.839
They want a straight answer
to their question
665
01:04:10.680 --> 01:04:14.816
If we are in lndia,
on which side will America be?
666
01:04:15.451 --> 01:04:17.819
If you are in lndia,
which side is America?
667
01:04:38.307 --> 01:04:45.547
The world is round.
So America can be on any side.
668
01:04:48.517 --> 01:04:52.320
- What does knowledge mean to her?
- What does knowledge mean to you?
669
01:04:55.391 --> 01:04:58.226
Knowledge... is everything
670
01:04:58.995 --> 01:05:07.769
Knowledge is spirit, wisdom,
courage, light, sound.
671
01:05:09.105 --> 01:05:12.674
Knowledge is my Bible, God...
672
01:05:14.110 --> 01:05:15.310
Tee!
673
01:05:15.444 --> 01:05:17.512
knowledge is my teacher
674
01:05:17.647 --> 01:05:21.349
Bravo! Excellent.
675
01:05:27.256 --> 01:05:29.324
Congratulations, Mr. Sahai.
676
01:05:29.625 --> 01:05:33.261
Your student is now a
part of our university.
677
01:05:37.199 --> 01:05:42.170
Thank you... Thank you
678
01:05:51.447 --> 01:05:52.881
I answered
every question they asked.
679
01:05:54.083 --> 01:05:57.052
Michelle looks so happy
today Paul.
680
01:05:57.153 --> 01:05:59.721
Can't stop talking about
the interview
681
01:06:00.823 --> 01:06:03.291
She hasn't stopped smiling all day.
682
01:06:03.426 --> 01:06:04.659
Why not?
683
01:06:04.794 --> 01:06:08.296
A girl who couldn't
sit at the dining table...
684
01:06:08.864 --> 01:06:13.969
has a seat in the university today.
Unbelievable.
685
01:06:14.136 --> 01:06:15.971
Can you imagine?
686
01:06:16.105 --> 01:06:21.910
Can you imagine the day
when we see Michelle as a graduate?
687
01:06:22.211 --> 01:06:26.548
Ah, it's going to be such a
special day, isn't it Sara?
688
01:06:28.050 --> 01:06:29.451
Yes, of course, mama.
689
01:06:29.585 --> 01:06:32.687
Whatever Michelle does
is always special. Isn't it?
690
01:06:34.090 --> 01:06:36.758
Excuse me,
I need to finish my sketch.
691
01:06:44.600 --> 01:06:46.735
- Good evening Sara.
- Good evening.
692
01:06:46.869 --> 01:06:49.471
Mr. Sahai, congratulations.
693
01:06:49.472 --> 01:06:52.841
You have performed yet...
another miracle.
694
01:06:53.376 --> 01:06:55.677
Still a long way to go, Mr. McNally
695
01:06:56.178 --> 01:07:00.148
The journey has just begun.
696
01:07:02.685 --> 01:07:03.485
Teacher!
697
01:07:07.957 --> 01:07:11.359
She's been waiting for
her gift for so long.
698
01:07:24.206 --> 01:07:25.407
What is this?
699
01:07:27.576 --> 01:07:31.780
Your friend, for... life.
700
01:07:31.947 --> 01:07:35.450
I don't need. I don't want
to be dependent on this.
701
01:07:42.158 --> 01:07:46.928
This will not make you dependent.
702
01:07:48.431 --> 01:07:51.933
It will make you independent.
703
01:07:52.802 --> 01:07:54.002
Do you understand?
704
01:08:31.240 --> 01:08:33.608
It was the beginning of a new life...
705
01:08:34.043 --> 01:08:37.245
A new feeling, a new horizon...
706
01:08:37.847 --> 01:08:41.950
You had faith in me...
and I had faith in my wings.
707
01:08:42.651 --> 01:08:45.720
Remember how happy I was
that day?
708
01:08:56.198 --> 01:09:00.034
Is it wise
to let Michelle live alone?
709
01:09:00.169 --> 01:09:01.503
She is not alone,
710
01:09:01.837 --> 01:09:05.540
Mrs. Gomes will also live here.
I will also live next door.
711
01:09:07.543 --> 01:09:11.880
University is close by,
she will meet new people.
712
01:09:12.081 --> 01:09:16.951
Besides, we can't protect
her all her life.
713
01:09:16.952 --> 01:09:18.052
Don't worry. She'll be fine!
714
01:09:18.220 --> 01:09:20.155
What's wrong with you, Sara?
715
01:09:20.156 --> 01:09:22.290
We were all just laughing
now suddenly you're fighting.
716
01:09:22.291 --> 01:09:25.093
It's very irritating, mama.
Anything that I put anywhere...
717
01:09:25.094 --> 01:09:27.262
She picks it up and puts it
somewhere else.
718
01:09:27.796 --> 01:09:30.198
Ma, I love her very much,
I really do.
719
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:32.600
But... Please... leave me
out of this. Ok?
720
01:09:32.601 --> 01:09:34.669
She's very excited, sweetie.
721
01:09:34.670 --> 01:09:36.938
- Please understand
- I understand everything.
722
01:09:37.072 --> 01:09:38.406
It's always about her, right?
723
01:09:38.541 --> 01:09:40.241
Her excitement, her happiness,
724
01:09:40.376 --> 01:09:42.443
She's the one
who means everything to you
725
01:09:42.444 --> 01:09:44.012
But what about me?
726
01:09:44.146 --> 01:09:46.414
Should I speak to you
in sign language?
727
01:09:46.582 --> 01:09:48.283
Paul, I can't believe
what she's saying. Oh My God...
728
01:09:53.455 --> 01:09:54.689
Michelle!
729
01:09:55.858 --> 01:09:59.460
- Michelle!
- No, Mrs. McNally. Leave her alone.
730
01:10:01.397 --> 01:10:04.365
With every fall, she'll rise higher.
731
01:10:06.068 --> 01:10:07.602
I fell.
732
01:10:09.205 --> 01:10:10.505
That's the spirit.
733
01:10:12.841 --> 01:10:20.381
I want you to walk alone,
without any help.
734
01:10:21.584 --> 01:10:27.188
50 steps. Straight, and
then right. Understood?
735
01:10:42.338 --> 01:10:45.340
JoJo... go slow...
I 'm getting old.
736
01:10:46.208 --> 01:10:48.042
Oh! I 'm so sorry.
737
01:11:01.890 --> 01:11:02.890
Where is she going?
738
01:11:07.529 --> 01:11:09.264
Where... are you going?
739
01:11:10.132 --> 01:11:14.269
No no no... This is the
wrong way... it's this way.
740
01:11:14.403 --> 01:11:19.574
No... it's... tch!
We're getting late...
741
01:11:20.142 --> 01:11:21.242
Come on...
742
01:11:23.379 --> 01:11:24.545
Hurry up
743
01:11:26.882 --> 01:11:28.816
Yes, come on...
744
01:11:30.886 --> 01:11:33.354
Run, run, run!
Yes!
745
01:11:41.397 --> 01:11:43.464
- 38
- Present.
746
01:11:43.599 --> 01:11:45.533
- 39
- Present
747
01:11:45.668 --> 01:11:47.735
- 40
- Present
748
01:11:48.704 --> 01:11:51.906
- 41
- Present
749
01:11:53.809 --> 01:11:56.744
- 42
- Present.
750
01:11:58.180 --> 01:12:02.083
There was so much to learn
and there was such little time.
751
01:12:02.851 --> 01:12:10.191
24 hours without tiring...
Your fingers would speak to me.
752
01:12:10.192 --> 01:12:14.929
Whether life starts from
the womb or from the earth...
753
01:12:15.064 --> 01:12:21.202
Its journey starts from darkness
and ends in darkness.
754
01:12:22.471 --> 01:12:26.607
One day we will all have to pass
through this darkness...
755
01:12:26.742 --> 01:12:29.210
and reach into the light.
756
01:12:38.187 --> 01:12:41.322
New doors opened up for me...
757
01:12:41.457 --> 01:12:46.928
new friends, new stories,
new poetry...
758
01:12:47.096 --> 01:12:49.330
a new way of looking at the world
759
01:12:49.898 --> 01:12:54.235
'What you see is what you dream'
760
01:12:54.803 --> 01:12:58.339
No. She, she... she disagrees
with the poet
761
01:12:59.308 --> 01:13:03.778
Eyes don't see dreams
but the mind does.
762
01:13:03.912 --> 01:13:10.184
I can't see with my eyes,
yet I dream.
763
01:13:10.552 --> 01:13:15.523
Our dream is that one-day
I would graduate.
764
01:13:29.138 --> 01:13:33.574
- Are you ready?
- Ready...
765
01:13:35.277 --> 01:13:37.845
- Tree...
- Tree...
766
01:13:38.013 --> 01:13:40.882
- Burr...
- Butterfly...
767
01:13:41.016 --> 01:13:43.551
- Bir...
- Bird...
768
01:13:43.685 --> 01:13:46.687
- Fish...
- Fish...
769
01:13:46.822 --> 01:13:49.290
- Bee..
- Bee..
770
01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:02.303
The best years of my life...
771
01:14:03.038 --> 01:14:05.606
Memories of which
bring joy even today
772
01:14:20.422 --> 01:14:22.356
It's ok....
Encoded By CharmeLeon
773
01:14:23.492 --> 01:14:24.559
It's all right!
Encoded By CharmeLeon
774
01:14:32.034 --> 01:14:34.402
What...? Tickly...?
Encoded By CharmeLeon
775
01:14:45.681 --> 01:14:47.515
It's not going to snow.
776
01:14:47.683 --> 01:14:50.151
Please concentrate on your studies
777
01:14:51.220 --> 01:14:55.623
No, no... you wont need the
umbrella at all, concentrate.
778
01:15:09.171 --> 01:15:10.705
Give me the umbrella.
779
01:15:11.473 --> 01:15:14.976
Hey stop it...
Give me the umbrella...
780
01:15:50.112 --> 01:15:53.214
- Can't you see
- I 'm sorry sir
781
01:15:55.217 --> 01:15:57.118
Hey... no... no. no.
782
01:15:57.452 --> 01:15:59.620
It's alright... it's alright.
783
01:16:00.689 --> 01:16:03.224
No, no...
784
01:16:03.792 --> 01:16:08.062
You are too slow!
How will you pass?
785
01:16:09.331 --> 01:16:10.765
You'll try?
786
01:16:10.999 --> 01:16:12.199
Let's watch it
787
01:16:14.570 --> 01:16:19.407
This is ten words in one minute
788
01:16:22.077 --> 01:16:25.046
You're going to try and do thirty.
Thirty words, my foot!
789
01:16:34.890 --> 01:16:38.993
- Pass?
- No fail.
790
01:16:45.200 --> 01:16:49.837
No, not in one or two subjects,
you have failed in all of them.
791
01:16:56.478 --> 01:16:57.612
Congratulations.
792
01:17:16.498 --> 01:17:20.935
People celebrate success
but we celebrated failure
793
01:17:22.270 --> 01:17:25.573
While eating ice cream
you told me the story of the spider
794
01:17:26.108 --> 01:17:29.010
Who after a lot of tries
made her home.
795
01:17:29.544 --> 01:17:33.080
After all, failure is
the first step towards success...
796
01:17:33.949 --> 01:17:37.018
but for me these steps
were never-ending.
797
01:17:41.857 --> 01:17:43.791
- Hello.
- Hello.
798
01:17:43.959 --> 01:17:47.194
Mr. Sahai, how are you?
How is Michelle?
799
01:17:48.296 --> 01:17:51.232
She's all right,
her results have come out.
800
01:17:51.733 --> 01:17:52.700
And what happened?
801
01:17:54.269 --> 01:17:56.303
She has failed again.
802
01:17:58.473 --> 01:18:02.176
But she said that
her papers were easy.
803
01:18:02.344 --> 01:18:07.515
She lied, so she could
enjoy her holidays
804
01:18:10.619 --> 01:18:16.323
But you said that only after falling
can a person rise higher.
805
01:18:17.926 --> 01:18:22.463
Before I fall, I want her
to learn how to fly.
806
01:18:23.331 --> 01:18:28.569
I 'm getting old, you know?
807
01:18:28.670 --> 01:18:29.837
Oh no...
808
01:18:31.573 --> 01:18:34.442
What happened?
Michelle has failed again?
809
01:18:34.743 --> 01:18:37.912
Yes Paul. I 'm worried.
810
01:18:38.046 --> 01:18:39.380
I think Mr Sahai...
811
01:18:41.383 --> 01:18:43.751
Ma...
812
01:18:44.820 --> 01:18:46.987
I want to come home.
813
01:18:52.961 --> 01:18:57.298
Ma, I failed.
814
01:19:00.902 --> 01:19:03.137
Teacher...
815
01:19:05.107 --> 01:19:11.812
shouted at me.
816
01:19:12.814 --> 01:19:15.182
I love you, my baby, I love you.
817
01:19:40.108 --> 01:19:43.010
I was told you were looking
for me Mr. Fernandez
818
01:19:43.545 --> 01:19:45.146
Ah Mr. Sahai, please come in.
819
01:19:46.782 --> 01:19:48.749
I have been waiting for you all day...
820
01:19:49.284 --> 01:19:54.054
I want to share my biggest
achievement with you.
821
01:19:54.189 --> 01:19:55.723
Please have a seat.
822
01:20:00.462 --> 01:20:06.834
Mr. Sahai, Michelle has been studying
in the same class for 2 years.
823
01:20:07.402 --> 01:20:10.604
So I thought I would do
something to... help her.
824
01:20:14.009 --> 01:20:17.945
First year Arts, entirely in Braille.
825
01:20:19.414 --> 01:20:24.919
You had once said very few chances
are given for doing good deeds.
826
01:20:25.787 --> 01:20:30.558
I 'm happy that you haven't
wasted this chance.
827
01:20:31.193 --> 01:20:34.028
Now no one can stop Michelle
from going ahead. Thank you.
828
01:20:34.029 --> 01:20:38.365
Not at all... It's my duty,
my pleasure, my pride.
829
01:20:42.637 --> 01:20:43.871
I trust that was all right?
830
01:20:52.380 --> 01:20:53.581
Is anything the matter?
831
01:20:57.152 --> 01:20:59.453
Then the books, Mr. Sahai.
Please take them to Michelle.
832
01:21:05.961 --> 01:21:08.929
How do I go out?
833
01:21:10.966 --> 01:21:15.369
How... how do I go out?
834
01:21:15.503 --> 01:21:17.671
I beg your pardon?
835
01:21:17.806 --> 01:21:20.574
The way to go out?
836
01:21:21.610 --> 01:21:24.445
The door, Mr. Sahai...
it's right behind you.
837
01:21:24.613 --> 01:21:26.313
Exactly the way you came in.
838
01:21:30.452 --> 01:21:31.785
Yes...
839
01:21:35.557 --> 01:21:38.292
Mr. Sahai, is everything all right?
840
01:21:57.012 --> 01:21:59.146
Tee... cher...
841
01:23:01.810 --> 01:23:04.378
New feelings
were arising with age...
842
01:23:04.546 --> 01:23:06.914
something that
I couldn't understand
843
01:23:07.482 --> 01:23:11.185
I knew no one besides you teacher
844
01:23:12.921 --> 01:23:16.824
That's why I thought of another
relationship with you teacher
845
01:23:17.492 --> 01:23:19.860
Was it wrong for me
to think this way?
846
01:23:21.363 --> 01:23:23.097
A lot was changing...
847
01:23:23.765 --> 01:23:27.901
But my failure was constant
848
01:23:35.176 --> 01:23:36.944
Time up, Michelle... time up.
849
01:23:36.945 --> 01:23:40.748
Michelle, you've already
had extra time.
850
01:23:40.749 --> 01:23:44.852
Michelle... I 'll take
the paper out then.
851
01:23:47.722 --> 01:23:49.323
- No...no....
- Please....
852
01:23:49.491 --> 01:23:51.558
- Leave it...
- Please......
853
01:23:55.130 --> 01:23:59.400
Knowing the answers is not enough...
You have let me down completely.
854
01:23:59.534 --> 01:24:02.336
I am angry... I am very angry....
855
01:24:03.104 --> 01:24:06.607
No... knowing the
answers is not enough...
856
01:24:06.741 --> 01:24:09.376
you need to put them down
on paper too, understand?
857
01:24:16.017 --> 01:24:17.851
Don't just stand there
like a failure!
858
01:24:22.490 --> 01:24:25.459
- It's all right.
- No. It's not all right, Mrs. McNally.
859
01:24:25.593 --> 01:24:27.861
It's not only her failure,
it's mine too.
860
01:24:27.996 --> 01:24:30.664
This is the third year in a row
that she's failed.
861
01:24:30.832 --> 01:24:32.866
For three years we have been doing
those same lessons.
862
01:24:33.001 --> 01:24:35.803
She's just too slow at typing.
1 0 words in 2 minutes. I mean...
863
01:24:36.337 --> 01:24:38.906
Hey, Michelle... Michelle...
864
01:24:39.040 --> 01:24:42.576
Where do you think you are going?
Leave this bag...
865
01:24:42.710 --> 01:24:45.145
Leave it, leave it...
Leave this bag!
866
01:24:45.280 --> 01:24:47.948
Enough! I want to go home.
867
01:24:48.083 --> 01:24:50.217
No. No...
you're not going anywhere.
868
01:24:50.218 --> 01:24:51.885
I don't want to stay.
I don't want to study.
869
01:24:51.886 --> 01:24:56.056
No... no... You will stay...
you will study. You understand?
870
01:24:56.057 --> 01:24:59.226
You will study. In three years even
the Braille letters have worn out...
871
01:24:59.227 --> 01:25:03.230
- But nothing has entered your brain.
- Let her be, Mr. Sahai!
872
01:25:03.398 --> 01:25:06.567
Mrs. McNally, I haven't spent
1 8 years of my life for this!
873
01:25:06.734 --> 01:25:08.669
I 'm not going to allow her
to be a failure.
874
01:25:08.803 --> 01:25:11.071
Hey... come here... you...
come here...
875
01:25:11.072 --> 01:25:16.009
Listen, you will... you will not...
you will not run away from failure.
876
01:25:16.010 --> 01:25:18.445
Understand?
Not run away from failure!
877
01:25:19.614 --> 01:25:20.981
Michelle... what is this?
878
01:25:20.982 --> 01:25:23.784
Don't you dare disrespect a book!
879
01:25:23.785 --> 01:25:25.786
Pick it up... Come on.
Pick it up., pick up the book...
880
01:25:25.787 --> 01:25:28.822
Pick up the book... Michelle..
Michelle....
881
01:25:28.823 --> 01:25:32.126
Pick up the book...
Stop it
882
01:25:43.104 --> 01:25:46.106
As long as I am alive,
you will study.
883
01:25:46.975 --> 01:25:49.243
I don't want to learn.
884
01:25:49.244 --> 01:25:52.079
Yes! You will learn.
You will graduate.
885
01:25:52.080 --> 01:25:54.748
The black robe. Our dream...
886
01:25:54.749 --> 01:25:55.849
I don't want a robe.
887
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.754
My world is black
888
01:26:00.755 --> 01:26:04.625
No. Your world...
your world is not black.
889
01:26:04.626 --> 01:26:06.460
It is full of light!
890
01:26:10.965 --> 01:26:12.633
My world is black, black, black!
891
01:26:12.634 --> 01:26:15.002
Black... black...
892
01:26:44.666 --> 01:26:49.303
62 words...
893
01:26:50.505 --> 01:26:51.905
in less than 2 minutes.
894
01:26:55.710 --> 01:26:59.046
She's not slow anymore Mrs McNally
895
01:27:01.049 --> 01:27:03.684
Time for celebration.
896
01:27:05.086 --> 01:27:09.523
Time for... an icecream, my dear
897
01:27:11.492 --> 01:27:14.995
- lce-cream?
- Yes...
898
01:27:16.064 --> 01:27:19.800
Mrs. McNally.
Life is an ice-cream.
899
01:27:20.668 --> 01:27:23.737
Enjoy it before it melts.
900
01:27:38.853 --> 01:27:40.487
Can I have two...?
901
01:27:43.591 --> 01:27:45.392
Ice creams, of course...
902
01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:53.667
Sir... ice-cream...
903
01:27:56.104 --> 01:27:57.537
Ice-cream sir.
904
01:28:04.579 --> 01:28:06.647
- What happened?
- Tee...
905
01:28:07.282 --> 01:28:08.715
What's wrong with you?
906
01:28:12.787 --> 01:28:14.321
Your change, sir.
907
01:28:15.690 --> 01:28:17.457
Sir, your change?
908
01:29:21.255 --> 01:29:24.825
- Are you alright...?
- Call for a doctor!
909
01:29:32.100 --> 01:29:37.070
Mr. Sahai?
910
01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:41.108
You are here...
I 've been looking for you.
911
01:29:42.710 --> 01:29:43.944
Yes...?
912
01:29:44.278 --> 01:29:47.914
Don't you recognize me?
It's me... Fernandez
913
01:29:50.952 --> 01:29:52.185
Michelle's Principal.
914
01:29:53.888 --> 01:29:57.758
Oh... yes. of course.
I 'll get Michelle for you.
915
01:29:57.925 --> 01:30:01.328
- Michelle!
- Michelle can't hear, Mr. Sahai.
916
01:30:07.335 --> 01:30:11.004
I 'll just call her.
917
01:30:13.775 --> 01:30:17.411
- Mrs. Gomes!
- Michelle is not at home.
918
01:30:23.918 --> 01:30:25.018
She's here.
919
01:30:38.699 --> 01:30:44.604
To forget my name, to forget
the door... all this is fine...
920
01:30:45.072 --> 01:30:47.741
But to forget
Michelle like this...
921
01:30:48.609 --> 01:30:51.077
Something is seriously wrong,
Mr. Sahai.
922
01:30:51.212 --> 01:30:54.514
I really think you should
get some help and see a doctor...
923
01:30:57.785 --> 01:30:59.052
Good night. Mr. Sahai.
924
01:31:40.962 --> 01:31:44.464
I 'm... sorry.
925
01:31:48.503 --> 01:31:49.769
It's ok.
926
01:31:51.005 --> 01:31:53.340
Don't ever forget me...
927
01:32:00.448 --> 01:32:01.882
I promise...
928
01:32:02.750 --> 01:32:04.684
I will never forget... you
929
01:32:07.555 --> 01:32:09.789
You worry about me?
930
01:32:13.160 --> 01:32:17.264
No. Don't... worry about me...
931
01:32:19.033 --> 01:32:24.337
Just... getting old.
932
01:32:27.675 --> 01:32:31.077
No... Don't worry.
933
01:32:33.814 --> 01:32:37.117
Go to... sleep.
934
01:32:41.155 --> 01:32:44.124
Sing you... a lullaby...
935
01:32:46.093 --> 01:32:47.994
No, I can't sing...
936
01:33:02.777 --> 01:33:10.250
# Hush, my baby.
On the treetop.
937
01:33:12.453 --> 01:33:15.755
# When the wind blows,
938
01:33:16.857 --> 01:33:19.426
# the cradle will rock...
939
01:33:20.895 --> 01:33:23.697
# hush my baby...
940
01:33:24.732 --> 01:33:27.934
A storm had scattered my dreams
941
01:33:28.636 --> 01:33:31.605
All those dreams those
were most dear to me
942
01:33:33.774 --> 01:33:36.943
That day was the first time
I felt fear...
943
01:33:38.045 --> 01:33:42.482
How would I live
if you forget me?
944
01:33:45.252 --> 01:33:47.721
- What happened now?
- She doesn't want to come downstairs.
945
01:33:47.855 --> 01:33:50.523
She is feeling awkward to come
in front of your in-laws.
946
01:33:50.658 --> 01:33:52.392
She thinks she'll spoil the evening.
947
01:33:52.526 --> 01:33:54.394
Then why did she bother
coming till here?
948
01:33:54.629 --> 01:33:56.162
Stop it Sara..!
949
01:33:56.297 --> 01:33:59.699
She's worried about
Mr. Sahai's health, please...
950
01:33:59.834 --> 01:34:04.170
It really hurts me to see
the two of you fight like this....
951
01:34:04.405 --> 01:34:06.239
Now you get her ready
and you bring her down.
952
01:34:06.240 --> 01:34:07.707
I have a lot of work to finish...
953
01:34:13.414 --> 01:34:18.084
Michelle, I 'm requesting you...
954
01:34:18.219 --> 01:34:21.921
till now whatever you did
was special.
955
01:34:22.089 --> 01:34:26.426
But today is a very
special day for me.
956
01:34:26.560 --> 01:34:31.331
I 'm in love and I am getting
engaged before you.
957
01:34:31.465 --> 01:34:33.099
I know this could upset you.
958
01:34:33.234 --> 01:34:36.503
Maybe this evening will
never come in your life
959
01:34:36.637 --> 01:34:39.839
And you may be feeling that
you will never fall in love.
960
01:34:41.275 --> 01:34:44.244
I hope you will.
I really do...
961
01:34:44.378 --> 01:34:46.846
But, until then...
962
01:34:46.981 --> 01:34:52.686
Please don't...
spoil.my.evening. Ok?
963
01:35:03.898 --> 01:35:06.566
I am very happy today
Because all the people
964
01:35:06.567 --> 01:35:08.935
I care about in the world...
Are in this room.
965
01:35:09.804 --> 01:35:12.472
On this occasion,
I 'd love to say a few words.
966
01:35:19.313 --> 01:35:22.615
I 'm a very lucky girl that
I got parents like you.
967
01:35:23.384 --> 01:35:24.918
And a sister like Michelle.
968
01:35:25.886 --> 01:35:28.855
I haven't been the best
daughter or the best sister.
969
01:35:29.023 --> 01:35:31.791
But I want to tell you all
I that really love you very much.
970
01:35:33.594 --> 01:35:35.228
And I love this house.
971
01:35:36.197 --> 01:35:37.731
There are so many memories here.
972
01:35:39.333 --> 01:35:42.202
I remember one time Michelle
and I were playing outside.
973
01:35:42.369 --> 01:35:44.904
We were running through
the grass holding hands.
974
01:35:45.539 --> 01:35:50.210
And while running, both of us fell
down and both of us started crying.
975
01:35:50.344 --> 01:35:53.480
Mama and Papa
came running outside
976
01:35:53.481 --> 01:35:57.350
and picked up Michelle
and left me outside...
977
01:35:59.286 --> 01:36:02.422
and there I was...
with my arms stretched out.
978
01:36:02.423 --> 01:36:03.323
Waiting.
Encoded By CharmeLeon
979
01:36:05.392 --> 01:36:07.026
I 'm still waiting.
Encoded By CharmeLeon
980
01:36:09.864 --> 01:36:14.000
As a child, l...
I used to be so angry with her
981
01:36:15.836 --> 01:36:19.205
The amount I loved her the
same amount I was jealous of her...
982
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:22.008
Whatever food I didn't like,
I 'd feed her.
983
01:36:24.645 --> 01:36:28.314
I used to wake Michelle in the
middle of the night and ask her...
984
01:36:28.315 --> 01:36:29.783
Do you want to drink water?
985
01:36:30.017 --> 01:36:32.585
Michelle used to nod her head
and say yes...
986
01:36:34.288 --> 01:36:36.189
and I used to turn my head
and go back to sleep.
987
01:36:38.659 --> 01:36:40.827
She would wait for me
all night long.
988
01:36:45.599 --> 01:36:47.534
I can't believe I did that.
989
01:36:51.972 --> 01:36:52.872
Can you Marc?
990
01:36:57.778 --> 01:37:03.616
For all those things that I did,
and all the misplaced... anger...
991
01:37:04.185 --> 01:37:05.885
I 'd like to say I 'm sorry.
992
01:37:08.055 --> 01:37:09.589
Did I say something wrong?
993
01:37:10.257 --> 01:37:12.292
- Then please let me finish.
- I don't want to listen,
994
01:37:12.426 --> 01:37:13.860
It's important to me. Michelle.
995
01:37:28.876 --> 01:37:32.812
- Michelle....
- Enough!
996
01:37:41.722 --> 01:37:42.956
Sit down.
997
01:37:45.392 --> 01:37:47.827
SlT... DOWN.
998
01:38:03.844 --> 01:38:06.312
For this joyous and
eventful evening...
999
01:38:08.415 --> 01:38:11.818
Michelle had prepared
a speech for Sara,
1000
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:18.524
I would read and Michelle
would sign...
1001
01:38:19.827 --> 01:38:24.264
But I don't think that Michelle
is in any mood for signs.
1002
01:38:25.966 --> 01:38:32.705
It's important however, that we
should all hear what she said.
1003
01:38:35.042 --> 01:38:41.214
I was eight years old, wild, violent
always angry at life.
1004
01:38:44.852 --> 01:38:48.521
I felt that I would never experience
the beautiful moments of life.
1005
01:38:50.057 --> 01:38:56.930
Then mother put Sara in my arms
for the first time...
1006
01:38:58.198 --> 01:39:00.166
I touched little eyes...
1007
01:39:00.834 --> 01:39:02.869
And then I knew that
1008
01:39:03.871 --> 01:39:06.205
I 'd see the world
through Sara's eyes.
1009
01:39:07.608 --> 01:39:13.780
Ma says, that I couldn't
stop smiling all day.
1010
01:39:20.321 --> 01:39:23.589
Sara shared all her happiness
with me...
1011
01:39:24.925 --> 01:39:28.428
She would hold my hand
and take me everywhere.
1012
01:39:28.562 --> 01:39:31.230
When Ma wasn't around
she would feed me...
1013
01:39:31.999 --> 01:39:36.035
She would wake me at night
and ask me if I wanted water.
1014
01:39:41.709 --> 01:39:44.577
You were the voice
to my silent fingers.
1015
01:39:46.814 --> 01:39:49.749
I am so looking forward
to your wedding day.
1016
01:39:51.452 --> 01:39:53.286
I 'll dress up beautifully that day.
1017
01:40:02.229 --> 01:40:05.131
I may never be the bride,
but I will still be the bridesmaid.
1018
01:40:09.837 --> 01:40:17.643
Do teach Marc how to sign,
I have lots to complain about you.
1019
01:40:20.614 --> 01:40:23.116
Thank you for allowing me
to be your bridesmaid, Sara.
1020
01:40:24.518 --> 01:40:33.326
I promise I will not cry... as you
walk with Marc towards a new life.
1021
01:40:51.645 --> 01:40:54.213
So on this happy note...
1022
01:40:57.518 --> 01:40:58.618
A toast....
1023
01:41:01.622 --> 01:41:04.290
For Sara and Marc
1024
01:42:05.719 --> 01:42:09.956
Do you, Marc Philip Bragger,
take Sara Maria McNally...
1025
01:42:09.957 --> 01:42:13.759
- To be you're lawfully wedded wife?
- I do.
1026
01:42:14.261 --> 01:42:16.829
Marc... says yes.
1027
01:42:16.964 --> 01:42:23.636
- Do you, Sara Maria McNally...
- Now the priest is asking Sara...
1028
01:42:25.005 --> 01:42:26.005
I do.
1029
01:42:26.140 --> 01:42:28.307
Sara says... 'Yes' .
1030
01:42:29.176 --> 01:42:32.044
I declare you to be man and wife
1031
01:42:35.215 --> 01:42:38.818
Now they are exchanging rings.
1032
01:42:38.986 --> 01:42:40.586
You may now kiss the bride.
1033
01:42:40.721 --> 01:42:46.926
The priest has asked them
to kiss as man and wife.
1034
01:42:50.764 --> 01:42:51.697
On the cheek?
1035
01:42:51.698 --> 01:42:54.534
No, no, not on the cheek.
On the lips.
1036
01:43:46.353 --> 01:43:47.587
Tee...
1037
01:44:08.242 --> 01:44:11.244
What are you doing here?
1038
01:44:12.946 --> 01:44:15.514
Wanted... to talk.
1039
01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:36.135
Do you love... me?
1040
01:44:46.613 --> 01:44:49.515
I 'm suffering...
1041
01:44:54.855 --> 01:45:00.126
I understand
that you are suffering...
1042
01:45:04.031 --> 01:45:06.399
I may never know...
1043
01:45:06.533 --> 01:45:10.970
What it is to... love... a man
1044
01:45:15.542 --> 01:45:26.952
Maybe you will never
experience physical love
1045
01:45:33.427 --> 01:45:34.427
But...

1046
01:45:40.901 --> 01:45:45.871
Will you kiss me once...
Encoded By CharmeLeon
1047
01:45:50.744 --> 01:45:51.944
Please?

1048
01:47:29.943 --> 01:47:31.143
Tee...

1049
01:47:36.516 --> 01:47:37.750
Teee...
Encoded By CharmeLeon
1050
01:47:38.618 --> 01:47:42.121
In giving me dignity
as a woman...
1051
01:47:42.656 --> 01:47:46.292
You lost all dignity
as a teacher.
1052
01:47:47.160 --> 01:47:50.362
I realized that
I had asked too much.
1053
01:47:50.697 --> 01:47:51.931
I made a mistake.
1054
01:47:52.899 --> 01:47:55.634
You didn't even give me a chance
to ask for your forgiveness.
1055
01:47:56.803 --> 01:47:58.237
I'm leaving
1056
01:47:59.473 --> 01:48:04.643
Like your walking-stick,
never forget one thing
1057
01:48:05.545 --> 01:48:11.350
Darkness is desperately trying
to engulf you
1058
01:48:12.419 --> 01:48:14.887
But you must always
walk towards light
1059
01:48:15.856 --> 01:48:18.457
Every step of yours,
filled with hope,
1060
01:48:18.458 --> 01:48:20.526
Will keep me alive, Michelle
1061
01:48:34.708 --> 01:48:37.309
Once again light transcended
into darkness...
1062
01:48:38.678 --> 01:48:41.247
and sound into silence.
1063
01:48:41.781 --> 01:48:45.351
For twelve years
1064
01:48:45.519 --> 01:48:47.486
I walked the path you showed me...
1065
01:48:48.455 --> 01:48:50.923
Alone in the darkness.
1066
01:48:52.726 --> 01:48:57.496
When after twelve years I had
found you near the same fountain...
1067
01:48:57.831 --> 01:49:01.166
and today after 1 2 days
this mark sheet.
1068
01:49:01.301 --> 01:49:04.169
I'm now a graduate in the arts.
1069
01:49:05.038 --> 01:49:08.007
I want you to be the first one
to hear the good news
1070
01:49:08.842 --> 01:49:12.378
Mr. Sahai this is your bed,
please lie down.
1071
01:49:12.546 --> 01:49:15.714
Please... that's it
1072
01:49:15.882 --> 01:49:20.085
Mr. Sahai...
This is your bed, Mr. Sahai!
1073
01:49:20.253 --> 01:49:21.453
Nurse!
1074
01:49:22.322 --> 01:49:23.556
Mr.Sahai...
1075
01:49:24.958 --> 01:49:28.027
Please lie down... Mr. Sahai
1076
01:49:47.047 --> 01:49:48.213
Tee...
1077
01:50:06.967 --> 01:50:08.167
Teee!
1078
01:50:08.635 --> 01:50:09.835
Tee...
1079
01:50:13.273 --> 01:50:14.506
Tee...!
1080
01:50:52.178 --> 01:50:54.980
Amidst us today there
is a student...
1081
01:50:54.981 --> 01:50:58.183
who has set an example
of grit and strength...
1082
01:50:58.985 --> 01:51:04.056
And has proved that
nothing is impossible.
1083
01:51:05.158 --> 01:51:08.193
She is the pride of our university.
1084
01:51:08.194 --> 01:51:12.331
And on this rare achievement,
I would want her to say a few words.
1085
01:51:12.465 --> 01:51:15.567
Ladies and Gentleman,
Michelle McNally
1086
01:51:22.442 --> 01:51:24.376
That's my daughter.
1087
01:51:41.461 --> 01:51:43.395
After many attempts...
1088
01:51:43.963 --> 01:51:47.666
The spider, in spite of
falling several times...
1089
01:51:48.134 --> 01:51:50.069
Has finally made her home.
1090
01:51:51.571 --> 01:51:53.706
The ant has climbed her mountain.
1091
01:51:54.708 --> 01:51:57.543
A tortoise has crossed the dessert...
1092
01:51:58.411 --> 01:52:01.747
And today Michelle McNally,
has finally become a graduate.
1093
01:52:07.253 --> 01:52:09.888
But there is a difference
between you and me.
1094
01:52:10.056 --> 01:52:15.027
What took you 20 years
has taken me 40.
1095
01:52:15.895 --> 01:52:17.529
But I finally did it!
1096
01:52:25.872 --> 01:52:31.043
As a child, I always
lagged behind others.
1097
01:52:33.847 --> 01:52:38.417
My parents were
always ashamed of me.
1098
01:52:39.719 --> 01:52:44.256
Every year I would call home
and say, 'Ma, I failed.'
1099
01:52:47.026 --> 01:52:48.794
But today I can say...
1100
01:52:48.795 --> 01:52:50.429
Ma, I passed.
1101
01:52:59.005 --> 01:53:03.709
I know that my parents
are very proud of me.
1102
01:53:04.577 --> 01:53:08.480
Telling the world proudly that
I am their daughter
1103
01:53:09.015 --> 01:53:11.183
Thank you Mama, Papa...
1104
01:53:20.326 --> 01:53:24.863
As a child, I was always
searching for something.
1105
01:53:27.400 --> 01:53:33.105
But in the end,
I would only find darkness
1106
01:53:34.607 --> 01:53:41.513
One day, my mother put me
in those unknown arms.
1107
01:53:42.916 --> 01:53:46.518
He was different from every one.
He was a magician.
1108
01:53:47.086 --> 01:53:53.926
For years he dragged me from
darkness into the light.
1109
01:53:57.330 --> 01:54:00.165
When it comes to God,
we are all blind.
1110
01:54:00.700 --> 01:54:04.336
None of you have ever
seen Him or heard Him.
1111
01:54:05.405 --> 01:54:11.410
But I have touched God.
I have felt his presence.
1112
01:54:12.478 --> 01:54:16.582
I call him 'Tee' .
1113
01:54:24.791 --> 01:54:26.692
For me everything was BLACK
1114
01:54:29.462 --> 01:54:35.133
But my teacher taught me
the new meaning of Black
1115
01:54:39.672 --> 01:54:43.375
Black is not only darkness
and suffocation.
1116
01:54:46.779 --> 01:54:51.483
It is the colour of achievement.
The colour of knowledge.
1117
01:54:53.820 --> 01:54:56.154
The colour of the graduation robe.
1118
01:54:56.923 --> 01:54:59.191
The colour that we all share today.
1119
01:55:01.060 --> 01:55:03.462
But there is a difference
between you and me.
1120
01:55:03.463 --> 01:55:07.332
Today you all wear this
to celebrate graduation.
1121
01:55:07.333 --> 01:55:08.767
But not me.
1122
01:55:10.770 --> 01:55:15.641
Because I want my teacher
to be the first one to see me...
1123
01:55:15.775 --> 01:55:18.143
Wear this black robe.
1124
01:55:25.952 --> 01:55:30.088
Every graduation day,
he brought me here.
1125
01:55:30.757 --> 01:55:34.259
Every year, we would stand
near that door...
1126
01:55:34.294 --> 01:55:37.496
and every year he would
write in my hand...
1127
01:55:38.097 --> 01:55:42.301
One day I want to see you
on that stage Michelle
1128
01:55:45.705 --> 01:55:49.741
It has taken me 40 years...
to fulfill his dream.
1129
01:55:50.176 --> 01:55:55.347
And today, for the first time,
I feel my lack of sight.
1130
01:55:55.481 --> 01:55:59.618
Because I want to see my teacher
standing at the door...
1131
01:56:00.186 --> 01:56:06.191
Watching me fulfill our dream
with pride
1132
01:56:31.617 --> 01:56:32.818
Teacher...
1133
01:58:27.500 --> 01:58:34.039
Our dream
1134
01:59:33.499 --> 01:59:49.347
Woah...
1135
01:59:59.392 --> 02:00:00.825
- Woah...
- Woah...
1136
02:00:23.649 --> 02:00:25.283
Dear Ms. Nair,
1137
02:00:26.252 --> 02:00:29.988
You'll be happy to know that
we have come into the light:
1138
02:00:31.891 --> 02:00:36.528
Today my teacher has remembered
his first word - Water.
1139
02:00:37.530 --> 02:00:42.434
He is the greatest teacher
in the world...
1140
02:00:42.602 --> 02:00:44.736
Who has proved again that
1141
02:00:45.404 --> 02:00:47.839
There is nothing impossible
in this world.
1142
02:00:47.840 --> 02:00:50.575
Who has taught me that there
is so much happiness in living for someone else
1143
02:00:51.377 --> 02:00:54.779
Today is my teacher's
first day at school Miss Nair.
1144
02:00:54.914 --> 02:00:57.816
And his alphabets,
just like mine,
1145
02:00:57.850 --> 02:01:00.151
will not start with
A, B, C, D, and E.
1146
02:01:00.486 --> 02:01:06.291
But with B, L, A, C, K
1147
02:01:07.059 --> 02:01:08.260
BLACK
