Why is there so much lag? Stupid wifi. I traveled with my mother.
The internet is terrible. Run! !
Bad wifi signal. It´s a nightmare! LOL.
My mother came to finish writing her book. She wanted a quiet place. So it’s almost like kidnapping?
Shut up! LOL She didn't want to leave me alone. Focus on the game.
Hey, son! Hello mother. So now you don’t even knock?
I knocked. . .
. . .
but you didn’t hear. What? Dante, stop that so we can talk.
(sigh of annoyance) Why do you spend so much time playing? Mom, what's your problem? I'm on vacation.
You are the one who came to work. What do you want? Nothing.
Nothing. I only came to say good night to you. Good night, then.
Wow, Dante. Why are you being so aggressive? Mom.
. . I don't like you interrupting me when I'm playing.
This takes time. And there are people there who need me. There.
. . In the virtual world, you mean.
I knew you wouldn't understand. It's okay, Dante. I understand.
But don't stay up too late, okay? Are you done? I'm done.
Good night. (Sigh) SILENCE ALSO SPEAKS (knocking on the door) (Sigh) Dante. .
. Dante! Dante!
What? You're not eating. It's going to get cold.
Cold food is fine. So you like to eat cold food? What?
I asked if you like your food cold. . Oh mom, cold, hot, whatever.
This place is nice, isn't it? Well, uh. .
. . .
. one of these days we could go out, maybe take a walk. What do you think?
Sure. So you'll go? Mom, what's going on?
What do you want? What do I want, Dante? Oh, my son.
. . I'm trying to talk to you.
You never let go of that cell phone. I don't understand it. Understand what?
That real life sucks. How does real life suck? Dante, I worry about you.
You don't have friends. You spend all your time on this technology. Mom, I have friends, okay?
I have several online friends. Wow! What is that?
It's not a healthy thing. Online friends? You need to go out.
. . .
. . to see people your age.
"See" people. Get some sun. .
. Sun? Yes!
Sun! Okay. Dante!
Dante, where are you going? Are you satisfied? You know what, Mr.

Are you okay? I haven't heard from you in the last two days. Yes, it’s just that.
. . I have tried to disconnect a bit.
Do you have any news about the book? Did you choose the title and the new texts? Well.
. . so.
. . Laura, do you hear me?
Yes, yes, I hear you, It's just that I'm not done yet, Selena. Uh. .
I've had some problems with Dante. But is he okay? Can I help in some way?
He's okay. Yes, he's okay. I think it's just a phase.

MOM! Mom! !
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Good morning to you too! You got up early today! Yeah, yeah, yeah, Look, the internet went down.
I know. Then do something. I was in the middle of my game.
I turned it off. You did what? I turned it off.
And I temporarily blocked our cell phones as well. But why? Why would you do that?
Are you crazy? Don't talk to me like that, my son. And how should I talk then?
You’re destroying my life! On the contrary. I just want you to have a life.
Look at yourself! You are no longer the Dante I know. You are closing yourself in that world.
. . .
. . more and more and you do not realize it.
You don't know anything, okay? This is my life and I do what I want with it. That.
. . .
. . is not living.
You are controlled by that device, by those games. Look around you, my son. You are missing the best years of your life.
. . .
. . locked in your room, alone.
But. . .
(Breathing with anger) I hate you. I hate you so much. And I love you.
I love you so much. I always loved you and I will always love you. You may not believe it.
. . .
. . but everything I do is for your own good.
You know what? Mind your own business. .
. . .
. and forget mine. Why don't you come to enjoy this stupid nature?
Why don't you come to breathe this ridiculous clean air? Why do I have to respect your stupid opinion and you don't listen to mine? Why don't you leave me alone?
(screams and gasps nervous) (Camera shutter sound) Hey son! Dante, you need to eat something. Take this.
(Sigh ) Dante, how long are you going to be without talking to me? That's not right. .
. . (Sigh) Hi!
! Hi. Could you help me?
Of course! Watch out! Thank you.
I'm Aurora. Dante. I'm.
. . I'm.
. . Why have I never seen you around here?
Well, until yesterday, of course. You seemed a little nervous. Oh, that.
. . I think uh.
. I needed to vent a bit, you know? Hey, watch out.
You did not answer my question. What question? Oh, oh!
Oh yeah, I remembered. Um. .
. You asked why you haven't seen me here before. Yeah.
Um. . .
I think. . .
I like to be in the house. . .
I'm not the type that goes out a lot. I'm always a bit isolated. What a pity!
Life is like a breath, you know? You should take more advantage of it. But I do take advantage of it, I do things.
Um. . .
The problem is. . .
. . .
it’s very quiet here. Don't you like the silence? Many things go through my head.
Mmm. . .
Can I sit with you? I once. .
. . .
. heard the story of a man named Elijah. And he.
. . .
. . was very angry.
. . .
. . with a heart full of resentment.
God had given Elijah a mission. To tell the people to stop being idolaters. But they didn't want to hear him.
Still he told them. . .
. . .
and showed them to be wrong. Idolaters? Yes, you know.
When something. . .
. . .
takes your time and. . .
. . .
begins to be worth more than God, more than people who are close to you. Those people. .
. . .
. were stubborn . .
. and he was disgusted with them. Then he went up the hill and he started to say: I’m a failure!
I'm a failure! What did he say? Listen, I'm serious!
(laughs) Okay, sorry. Then God. .
. . .
. sent a strong wind. .
. . .
. that even cracked the stones. But God was not in the wind.
Then came an earthquake. And immediately a fire came. But God was neither in the earthquake nor in the fire.
It was when he felt a breeze. . .
. . .
with a soft voice. (Laughs) Don’t you understand? No!
(Laughs) Sorry. Silence also speaks. That's it.
(Laughs) (Laughs) (♪ Meditative Music ♪) Dante. . .
I wanted. . .
Mom. . .
. . .
not now. But. .
. I just wanted to talk to. .
. Don't you have a book to write? A job to deliver?
Let me live in peace. Dante. .
. . .
. don't talk to me like that. You are under my roof.
I'm the one who pays your bills. Yeah, you pay my bills, . .
. I'm under your roof, and what else? What else are you going to get in my face about, huh?
Tell me! I am your mother. Respect me.
Look what you've done. Dante! Aurora!
Aurora, wait! Wait! Wait!
You shouldn't have seen that. I'm sorry. No.
I’m not the one you should apologize to. You don't understand! My mother destroys everything I like.
That's not what it looked like to me. Aurora, you don't know anything. That is a problem between me and my mother.
. . and I am going to solve it.
She doesn't leave me alone, she bothers me. I know that you too must have problems with your mother and surely your mother is better than mine. I had.
Past. And I would give everything to have her close again, . .
. even if it were to scold me. Because.
. . .
. . because I know.
. . .
. . that she did that to make me a better person.
So if you want to keep talking to me, . . .
come back and ask your mother for forgiveness. Okay. I’ll go.
(Crying) Can we talk? (♪♪♪) Aurora, I'm really sorry for your mother. I lost my father when I was a baby.
Do you live with your father? I have been an orphan since the beginning of the year. My parents died of Covid.
I’ve been living with my aunt. She is the only person I have left. Everything is fine.
I. . .
. . .
had the opportunity to tell them. . .
. . .
how much I loved them. And I heard the same thing. Death is not the end, you know?
If we make the right decisions, . . .
we will see again the people we love. . .
. . .
and who are no longer here. Aurora, I. .
. Dante. .
. . .
. don't just talk. Show it.
. . .
. . before it's too late.
I came to give this to you. Wow! Aurora, they are beautiful!
But I can't accept them. I'm sure they mean a lot to you. They meant.
. . .
. . and taught me a lot.
The voice of silence, right? (Laughs) That's it. You got it.
(♪♪♪) "I dedicate this book to my beloved son, Dante, who changed my life forever. " Laura. We are all here.
Only you are missing. Where are you? (Typing) (Typing) (Hair dryer noise) (Typing) Dante!
Mom. But. .
. Um. .
. I. .
. You were again. .
. No, no, no. Look, .
. . our generations are very different.
I know, but I. . .
Calm down, calm down. What I mean is that. .
. . .
. there will be many things that you may not understand. But Mom.
. . for me and.
. . for people my age, these things matter.
I know. Come here. (Deep sigh) You may think that I don't understand it, .
. . that I'm old.
. . .
. . but that's not what it's about, you know?
Dante, . . .
it's about time. It happens so fast! (♪♪♪) Things can change, yes.
. . .
. . I know, of course they can.
But not time. My boy, time passes for everyone! And one day you will look back.
. . .
. . and you will see that you lost so much time!
And maybe today you don't believe it, . . .
but there's no way to go back. Do you understand? I know.
I was not playing. What do you mean "I was not"? Come here.
"Silence also speaks" (♪♪♪) (Crying) Silence can say. . .
. . .
more than words! In such. .
. . .
. a noisy world. .
. . .
. with so many voices . .
. that want to show us different directions, . .
. hearing the voice of silence. .
. . .
. is liberating. (Sigh) It's like a gentle breeze.
I want to feel. . .
. . .
and understand. . .
. . .
things much bigger than us. Silence also speaks. And he has a lot.
. . .
. . .
to tell us. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I love you!
