We are all born to dream.
It is the very purpose of our mind.
And when we are young, our dreams are vivid,
crystal clear.
My grandson, Savino,
he is a dreamer.
When Savino was six years old,
Felipe, his father, had uprooted the family
and his brother, Goyo, from their vineyards in Spain
to begin life anew on the other side of the world.
He had his reasons,
but he never shared them with Savino.
What parent ever does?
Savino, sit down and say grace.
God bless all the gifts we are receiving thanks to your generosity.
Bless all those who share them at this table.
Dad, Mum, Grandpa, Grandma
Uncle Goyo and...
Savino. Finish.
And his girlfriend.
- Amen. - Amen.
Amen.
It smells burned.
That's because it is burned.
And what is my grandson gonna do
on his very special day?
- What plan do you have? - I don't have a plan.
Savino, don't speak with your mouth full.
Okay.
- Be a good boy. - I will.
- And eat everything. - I will.
Savino? Savino.
Wait!
Put this on. Don't get sunburnt.
Papa, I'm going to high school next term.
What? I'm not allowed to kiss my son any more?
It's nothing.
See ya!
Nice hat, mate!
As parents, we try our best to protect our children,
to shield them from the tides of life.
But we often cast stones into the waters of their youth.
And those ripples can last a lifetime.
We've always had practical reasons
why we look at stars, and up until recently,
anyone taking a long journey
would have navigated by star charts.
This constellation, this was used to navigate
around our half of the world, the Southern Hemisphere,
like the Pole Star was by travelers
in the northern part of the world.
And these two Centauri,
here and here,
these are called the pointers,
because they point to the Southern Cross.
- Where'd you get the phone? - I found it.
- Really? - Well, I need it
- so I can text my dad. - Mm.
See this guy?
You be him.
You're about to get an arrow through the heart.
Look what I found today.
Yeah, great.
Weirdness.
And I found this, too.
Sick.
Oh, shit!
He's gonna kill me.
Dude, slow down!
Who's dying?
Me, if I'm not home soon enough!
He's not gonna shoot you, is he?
Why are you still following me?
I don't know.
Takes time for me to think.
He's out there.
Okay, this way, come on.
Where have you been?
We were playing and we lost track of time.
Ah, so you lost track of time. You suddenly became an idiot?
What is he doing here?
He's my friend.
I thought your dad spoke English.
Of course I speak English.
Get in the house.
Forgive me for any wrongdoing.
And if Dad could forgive me, too,
that'd be great.
Bless all of my family and my friend, Skeet.
And if, in your eternal wisdom,
you could consider a blessing for me on this day,
that'd be really great, thank you.
Amen.
It takes courage to accept and embrace our own story.
For we are afraid that people might not like us
if they know the truth about who we are
or where we come from.
But there is a yearning deep inside us all
to know more about what came before.
Good morning.
Hello, good morning.
Have you come with the family that has rented the house?
Rented? No not rented.
American?
No Australian.
Wow, I have heard that place is beautiful.
Yes, this is beautiful too.
I was looking for my father's house.
Your father?
You're saying that this is your father's house?
Yes, my father.
Felipe?
You are Felipe's son?
- Sorpresa! - Sorpresa!
Okay, which present first?
- The big one? - That's mine.
Oooh!
- Ah! - It's a game,
but it makes you think.
That one's from me, Janine.
Oh, cool! Maths instruments, thanks!
It's like a ruler and stuff.
Don't know how to show you how to use them.
Open this one.
I chose this for you, especially this year.
You know, Savino, something I think
you will really treasure.
This is your history, our history.
You see here?
Our father, your grandfather, Antonio,
gave this to me on my 12th birthday.
So now it's yours.
And you can put your name under us.
- Do you like it? - Thanks, it's nice.
Three generations.
You can read a bit of it,
now we are all together, if you want.
I think I'll read it later when I can really appreciate it.
Okay.
Thank you.
It's okay.
- It's great. - Bravo, Felipe.
They are socks.
But your grandfather has a gift for you
that you might really like.
All right, let's see.
Socks. Warm feet.
Luis, give Savvy a proper present.
What do you mean, "proper present," Maribel?
What is the point of saying that?
It's okay.
We could give this another day.
Oh, come on, it's a present.
He's gotta open it.
Happy Birthday, my grandson.
Look, your name. Savino.
Savino.
I didn't know you were going to put his name in your book.
It's okay, no problem, Luis.
I'm going to work.
The water can wait.
What the...?
Are you shitting me?
We got shoes! We got new shoes!
Is this telescope powerful enough
to see other galaxies and stuff like that?
Powerful enough, yes.
That's a good word.
I do not know what you are going to see, son.
This is your adventure now.
What?
You do not believe me?
Maybe you're not ready.
But one day you will be ready and you will know.
You will see it.
See what?
I've given you the tools.
Use your eyes, Savino.
You should knock.
Your grandmother and I could be doing something
not meant for a boy's eyes.
Unlikely, but you never know.
What?
I saw something.
What's happening?
Oh, sweetheart.
It's too early!
Come back when I'm beautiful.
You're always beautiful my sweet.
Go on.
Okay, so I saw the Southern Cross.
- Yes. - And it was pointing
- to this rock. - Which rock?
He's trying to tell me.
Nah.
- No, don't worry about it. - Hey.
- It sounds stupid. - Stop.
- Go on. - Okay.
Well, I found this rock with my telescope.
There were these colors.
Oh, yeah, and there was a shadow
of this really big bird.
And... and then another one, but this time a golden one,
and it wasn't as big, but it was a golden bird,
and it flew up over the rock.
- That rock. - Shh.
- Do you know the place? - Yes.
It's a beautiful place.
Come on, tell me.
Can I... can I go there?
I don't know, can you?
How do I get there?
You know how.
Follow the stars.
Savino should be out in the sunshine.
It's the holidays and he is stuck in this dark hole.
Mama.
It's true...
...he needs some brothers to run around with...
...out on his bike like normal children.
You don't want your grandson to have an education?
- Is that it? - What I am saying
is that he should have some sunshine, too.
You don't think he needs to learn how to run this place?
Who else is going to do that?
You? Or him?
You think he could do it?
I could do it.
Give me a few weeks, and I'm running this thing.
He doesn't trust you at all.
A family from Barcelona bought the house
when your father decided to leave.
They use it as a holiday home.
I take care of the vineyards,
and my wife looks after the house.
As we did with your family.
See that house?
That's where I live.
Let's go, meet my family.
What do you have to write about?
- Family. - Perfect.
So you can write about how we made
one of the most beautiful wines in Spain.
This.
Our Tempranillo '65,
the finest we ever produced.
But you never drink wine.
You don't have to drink it.
It's enough to taste it.
That's not what Uncle Goyo says.
Yeah. Tio Goyo's a wine expert.
And this is the only bottle I brought from Spain
worth the price of a ruby,
and your inheritance right here, Savino.
But be careful.
An old wine can be disturbed easily.
Look.
Made from the grapes of your old family vineyards.
- Wow. - Give it to your father.
Dad used to have a bottle of wine like this, but...
but he doesn't have his anymore.
I wonder what life would have been like for my family
if we all stayed here.
Tomorrow I will take you somewhere
before you leave.
Savino, come here.
- Try. - Mhm.
Smell it.
You see? Sweet.
Did your father teach you and Tio Goyo how to make wine?
Yes.
I wish you could meet him.
Your grandfather showed me everything.
Now I am teaching you.
Perfect, you see?
Now...
I can't listen to Felipe's crap any more.
- Do you want a smoke? - Yeah.
He only talks about the good times,
before our father changed.
I think it's time to go to dinner, Savino.
- See you later. - See you.
Tio Goyo.
- It's dinner time. - Okay.
Bueno.
Paella, paella.
It's so special having you here, Savino.
I've thought about your father a lot.
Did he ever talk to you about his life here
and why he left and went to Australia?
- Kind of. - He is a good man.
He deserves happiness.
Most people do, I suppose, but especially your father.
Let's have a family toast to Savino...
...who has come from the other side of the world...
...just to try my wife's paella!
Hi.
How you doing?
- Hey, Dad. - Hey.
What are you doing, Savvy?
I'm learning the family business.
- You know, for my essay. - Good.
Yeah, Tio Goyo is teaching me
how to taste wines from different years.
Yes, I'm showing him how this works, more or less.
It's good.
You have to move it.
Open it.
2002.
- Correct? - Probably.
What's wrong?
You let him drink?
He's 12 years old.
Just a little.
I'm sorry, Felipe, just a little.
We did this in Spain.
I mean, there's no problem with it.
We are not in Spain.
What do you have in your head?
You wanna tell your son about the family business?
Tell him how our father ran the business,
because the way I remember things,
he drank the most of it.
That's what he did.
And you are drinking the rest, aren't you?
I am not like him.
I got nothing, as you like to say,
but I'm enjoying life.
I'm a good man and I'm enjoying life.
Can you say that?
You got a great family and you run the business,
but you're the sad man, not me.
Drink it.
I'm not a baby.
Ah, you're not a baby, you're a man.
A drinking man.
You are not going to walk from this room
till you sober up.
Do you understand me?
Yeah.
Perfect.
And from now on, you are going to work
in a place where I can see you.
With me.
How are we doing?
We are doing all right.
For a family of seven with two workers.
Mom and Dad and five kids.
We should've had more children.
I just think it's hard for Savvy.
Oh! You dirty bastard!
- You nearly got me then. - Shh, shh!
- What are you doing here? - Let's go out.
Let's do something.
- I can't. - Just come down.
Hurry up.
Shh!
- Quiet. - Catch this, okay?
Go.
Come on, I've got you.
Go.
Sorry, mate.
- You smell like the pub. - Yeah, I know.
- Are you pissed? - Off my face.
Come on, let's get out of here.
You didn't reply to my signals.
What was your message?
Light, dark, light, dark, light, light, light, dark.
That's very informative, Skeet.
Wait here.
We don't need water.
We will where we're going, buddy.
Quiet.
So where are we going?
We're going to this place.
My pops told me, out past Emu Plains,
there's a rock, something strange to see.
- See what? - I don't know.
Mate, this is gonna be sick.
I guess so.
Can you see it?
The Milky Way.
Cool.
I need the Southern Cross to show us the way.
The stars are gonna get us there?
Yeah.
Well, that's what my granddad said.
How old is he again?
Are you gonna be doing that the whole way?
Yeah.
We gotta let the snakes know we're coming.
Yeah, right.
Seriously.
It's the brown ones you've really gotta worry about.
They've got these tiny fangs
and their venom just thins your blood.
You won't feel a thing, but then you just drop dead.
That's gross!
Did you know there are more stars
than there are grains of sand?
Really?
Yeah.
Or something like that.
It's like millions of tiny little eyes
just staring down on us.
Hey, look.
A satellite.
- Where is it? - There.
There's thousands of them up there.
Most of them stopped working ages ago.
They're still up there, just trying to find a signal.
Do you have maps on that phone of yours?
No.
You know you can get apps that have star maps on it?
I don't want that shit on my phone.
I've just got the games I like.
It's just for texting my dad.
- What did he say? - I haven't texted him yet.
Why not?
I'm just working out what to say.
- Do you even know his number? - Yes.
You just gotta find the right words.
That's it.
There's something biting my leg.
Oh.
- Oh! - Shit!
- Get them off my back. - Yeah.
Let's go.
The bag, you dickhead, get it!
Shit.
What am I even doing out here?
I don't even believe there's any stupid rock.
Your crazy grandfather made it up.
He did not.
Is he still all there in the head?
He's smarter than anyone else I know.
Which way now?
I don't know.
- For fuck's sake. - I'm looking.
I'm going home.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait!
Give me your phone.
No reception.
You should have told your freaky father we're coming.
- He's not a freak. - He is too.
He's a bit of a freak.
Did you ever think maybe our dads
would like it if we died out here?
And they wouldn't have to pretend to care anymore?
That's not good for you.
You think that's my main concern right now?
Can I have a puff?
You're not getting any better at it, are you?
Get lost.
Maybe your dad was hoping for you to go out to the desert
and never come back.
Then he wouldn't have to worry about paying
for your clothes or your food,
or coming to see you, or texting you back.
Or anything like that.
Maybe he'd like it if you just fell off the face of the earth,
'cause he doesn't give a shit about you.
I just disappoint him.
I don't know what he wants.
Not me.
I'm not the kid he wants.
Savino?
See? Woo-hoo!
Get a move on.
- Come on. - Shut up.
- Come on. - Thank you.
Go on.
Give us a look.
- Can you see anything? - Yeah.
I can see a whole heap
of nothingness.
This isn't right.
You know the problem with your grandfather's stories?
There's no fucking ending.
Give it here.
For fuck's sake.
I can see the lights of our town.
I can see the way straight back.
Come on, let's go.
Hurry up, let's go, move it!
Skeet?
Fucking hell.
No, no, no, no, no.
Shit, no.
Where is Savino?
What happened? Have you no manners?
- Where is he? - I don't know, he should be in his room!
- He's not there. - What do you mean he's not there?
Luis, do you have an idea where is he?
Where did you send my son, Luis?
Skeet? Skeet!
Fuck.
Skeet, Skeet.
Fuck, fuck.
What the fuck are you gonna do with that?
- Savino! - Shit.
What happened?
Skeet kind of fell.
Savino, you stay here.
Could you drop me round the back?
I'm going to deliver you to your father.
It's just my mom now.
And don't wake her up.
Before eating, Savino,
tell me what your grandfather said.
I can tell you exactly what I told him.
But I want my son to tell me.
It's my fault.
When you make a mistake, and we all do,
it is not your fault.
Eat up now, Savvy.
What? I'm the problem here?
He's the one who sends Savvy into the desert.
I thought he would talk to you.
- Why he would do that? - Because you're his father.
Look at him. Luis, no.
Please, look at him.
You see?
He has no words for me.
- Hello. - You have a problem!
I'm trying to eat my breakfast here.
- A big one! - The most important meal
- of the day. - Tell your mother
to stay out of this.
- Stay out of it, Mama. - No, I will not.
I've got my health to consider.
Did you see it, Savino?
Did you look hard enough to find it?
Answer to your grandfather, Savino.
Did you see anything?
- Did you use the telescope? - Yes, he looked!
But he didn't see anything
because there is nothing up there.
One day you will see it.
Not another time, please!
Stop your crazy dreaming, putting my son at risk!
Stop! Stop!
- Sweet Jesus. - I can point a finger, too.
Adrianna.
Get your parents out of my house.
- What? - Calm down, please.
I will calm down
when your parents were out of my house.
- It's their house, too. - No, no.
This is our house, Savino.
You have to understand that.
This is the family, your mother, you, and me.
Felipe, por favor.
Por favor, Felipe.
No.
Okay, Luis.
I will not throw you out.
Yes, it is time.
Time for what?
You don't have to pack today.
I have already packed.
Papa. But you can't.
- You have nowhere to go. - I will not be a burden
for you any longer.
Papa.
Mama.
Savino, go to your room.
What's wrong with Pops?
He's just getting older, I guess.
How can he be out there working on his stupid car
while they're leaving?
He's hiding from us.
Hiding?
That's what he does, isn't it?
Eat your food, Savino.
We always wait for you, Felipe.
Of all God's creatures,
man is the only one who sees fit
to punish himself...
over and over again.
Good.
And what is worse...
we make our children pay dearly for our mistakes.
It's me again.
If you can tell Mom to come home now, that'd be great.
I don't even know where she is.
Savvy?
Hello?
I'm coming in. Is that alright?
Do you think God speaks Spanish?
I think it might be his first language.
- Nice room. - Thanks.
My 12th birthday was pretty shit.
But I'll tell you,
no one ever gift-wrapped school shoes
and made me smile about it.
That really, really sucks.
I don't even know what that is.
That's like weird medieval shit.
You want your telescope back?
Okay.
Shit.
Fuck.
Shit.
Felipe!
Shit.
- Felipe! - Keep working.
Um, help! Ah!
- Oh, my God. - Careful, careful.
Oh, my God.
I don't know what happened.
I was washing dishes and I...
Aren't you done yet?
Almost.
Finish up and then you can go.
I have work to do.
When a family breaks into many pieces...
when we feel forgotten and unaccepted...
a week can feel like a lifetime.
You need to talk to him yourself.
- Is Pops sick? - He's in the hospice.
Why didn't you tell me?
Come on, Savvy.
Quick.
It's here.
Come in, sweetie.
Ah, my beautiful girl and Savino.
Come in.
There they are.
You're so beautiful.
Maribel.
Always so beautiful.
We should have stayed there.
We should have stayed in Spain.
Maybe then you'd never have got this cancer.
Always so cheerful.
You want me to smile at your deathbed?
Why not?
I love your smile.
Give it to me.
Maybe in a minute.
Go and talk with your grandpa.
Okay?
You should have told me sooner.
Do not be frightened.
He didn't want me to tell you.
I didn't think it would be this fast.
Leave me alone.
Everyone loses someone they love.
This is half of your family
and you must find the other half.
It is lost
and only you can find it.
Only you.
Do you understand?
No.
You will find the way.
I want to kiss your eyes.
I want...
to kiss your nose.
Then I want to tickle you.
I'm not a little kid any more.
Then let us talk business.
You have to go back
and see the rock one more time.
- I can't. - In the light.
Because I went there, you're here.
Make a better plan.
Not without you.
I am not necessary.
That is how the world turns.
Not too hard, darling.
Lay down next to me.
Adrianna.
Where is your mother going?
Go inside, Mama.
Adrianna?
My mother is going to her room.
- She has to rest. - She has no room here.
This is our house.
We have talked about this.
She has to find another room.
Felipe.
- Take the bags in, sweetie. - No.
No, no, no, put that on the floor.
She just told me to take them inside.
- Put that on the floor. - No.
Felipe.
I tell you put that on the floor.
Felipe, Felipe...
...I need a hand.
Felipe, I don't know how this works.
Felipe.
Felipe, give me a hand with this.
It's not working.
You ruined the family, you son of a bitch.
Coward.
What do you want? What do you want?
What are you saying? What the fuck are you saying?
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
You sit at my table looking like this?
My mother's home is with me now.
She was staying with my father in the hospice.
He died last night.
What?
How are you gonna live with that?
I'm getting away from you and this family.
You are so fucked.
You're gonna spend the rest of your days
locked up behind those shutters in the dark,
eating dust, snarling at each other in fucking Spanish.
That poor kid!
- No. - Take it easy.
Give the rest of my shit to your next girlfriend.
I feel sorry for her.
He doesn't want any sad clothes.
He wants dominoes and music played at supper...
and...
This bit is very personal.
So I don't want to read about how he liked me
in my green dress with a red net petticoat.
Aw, Mama, no.
Everybody liked me in that.
I was spectacular.
Yeah.
And...
He wants you to make lots of food...
...and for us to drink the Tempranillo '65 from the study.
Mama, that's not in the letter.
He doesn't want Felipe to suck the color out of everything.
He doesn't want us to close the shutters any more.
And he wants all of us to take care of his Savino.
I didn't know where you were.
Adrianna, do you hate me?
- Do you all hate me? - What's the matter with you?
Do you know how many years it's been since Orian died?
He's gone, but Savino is here.
It had nothing to do with Orian.
- No? - No.
Then why should I make any more excuses for you, Felipe?
You can't put my son in a prison
because he looks like another boy you lost.
Look at me.
Your precious brother died years ago,
and none of us have ever been allowed to get out
from under your misery.
Well, you won't crush my son with it.
Do you hear me?
My Savvy is going to laugh and be happy and live.
Like his grandfather.
And you can sit here on your own in the dark.
I've had enough.
Do you hear me?
I said do you fucking hear me?
Ugh!
Savvy?
Where are you going?
I'm going back.
Savino, you can't go back.
It's dangerous for you.
You are 12 years old.
I didn't know about your grandfather.
I didn't know he was sick.
I didn't hate him.
I promise.
I'm just trying to protect you.
Do you understand?
I'm your father. Please, come on.
Stay here, please.
Savino. Savino.
Stay here. Savino, you can't go.
Savino, you can't go!
I'm telling you!
What are you gonna do, hit me?
I hate you.
I'm going back to the rock.
I bet your dad's foaming at the mouth.
I don't give a shit about him.
Well, at least he came looking for you.
Yeah.
You want me to come?
Hm.
Come on.
I'm ready.
You gotta be joking.
For fuck's sake.
Take care of yourself.
Oh, yeah.
Did you ever get round to texting your dad?
You gotta tell him something.
Anything.
Anything that you want him to know.
Right from here.
Just in case you don't make it back,
can I have that telescope?
Not a chance in a billion years.
Youth is as beautiful and as fleeting
as a shooting star
in a clear night sky.
But wisdom is the Southern Cross,
fixed and infinite,
a guide for eternity.
I'm not coming home with you.
Oi, did you hear what I said?
I'm not coming home.
It's impossible to make a fire up here.
It's too windy.
I don't get you.
Who's Orian?
Here it is.
It's part of your family.
My dad's parents.
I never even met them.
I only knew my mom's side, and my pops meant so much to me.
Orian.
He's just a little kid.
Six.
51.
42.
70.
What are you doing?
I look at the dash in between the two dates
and I calculate how long each person lived for.
Oh.
Isn't that what everyone does at cemeteries?
I don't know.
Do they?
Well, I just feel sorry for the ones who have a short life.
Do not just think of a dash as merely
a distance between two dates.
A dash itself represents a life.
But wouldn't a longer one be better than a shorter one?
Look, some people die at 20 but are buried at 80.
I mean, you can live 100 years,
but if it's a wasted life, then for what?
Orian...
How do you know?
I found these drawings in Tio Goyo's bedroom.
Orian was my little brother.
Your uncle.
What happened?
I don't have friends here, Savino.
I don't have...
Orian!
We were in a cart rolling down.
He was chasing us.
And...
I heard some sound, the car braking.
I was supposed to look after him.
Can you understand me?
And I didn't.
It was an accident.
I'm sorry, Savino.
I... I can't...
I can't live with it.
I have something here.
It's not your fault.
I promised Savino he would see wonders on that rock.
And he did.
Savvy...
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
It's okay.
We're still here.
Please, think of this place as your second home.
And us as your second family.
I will.
I hope you and this bottle arrive safely to Australia.
Savino...
Your father was a brave man.
To take his family to another country
and start again.
It takes time to understand your parents.
You will learn it with age.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
It is not loss we fear the most.
Our greatest fear is to look up at the stars and to dream.
And to take the risk to make the dash of our lifetime meaningful.
At some stage in our life,
each of our journeys will change.
We will be tested in ways we could never imagine.
And this is when we might find ourselves
looking through the wrong end of the telescope.
Unable to see the stars.
Unable to find the right words to say to your child,
"It's not because of you."
That summer on the rock,
Felipe gave the greatest gift a father could give.
His honesty.
The truth in his heart.
We are tied on this journey together.
We must teach our children and be taught by them.
For once we trust in them,
we will learn they are not us.
They are themselves completely.
