One, two, three, knock on the wall!
Good Shepherd Orphanage, hello?
It's all ready.
She's playing. We haven't told heryet.
She'll be happy in her new home. Don't worry.
See you then.
Yourfriends will miss you a lot, Laura.
Got you!
THE ORPHANAGE
Mummy!
I'll go, it's my turn.
I'm coming!
Siṃn!
They're outside. Listen.
Go to sleep.
Siṃn, darling.
Oh, I see!
Watson and Pepe have played very late,
now they can't get in?
Come on, in you go.
Aren't you a bit old forthis?
Weren't you scared here, when you were little?
You couldn't be afraid. There was a gang of us,
and there was the lighthouse...
- Lighthouse? - It's still there,
but it doesn't work anymore.
I'll show you tomorrow.
Why doesn't it work?
Can you keep a secret?
Actually, it does work.
But the light's invisible, it protects us.
Invisible light?
OK, try this.
Look at the window, overthere.
Don't move.
See it?
Did you see it?
Those kids that are coming,
why can't they stay at home?
They're special children,
and they need a lot of special care.
They can't come and go, they need a home.
You understand?
Can I sleep with you tonight?
You're pushing it, kiddo!
Dad, are you coming to the beach?
Aren't Watson and Pepe going?
No, they didn't sleep a wink last night.
You're such a smartass! Friends only when it suits.
OK, wise guy, take your pill.
"S" for Siṃn!
Go upstairs and get your bag. Dad'll meet us there later.
One of us should talk to him.
About his invisible friends.
He's lonely, he's bored. It's normal.
He'll forget them as soon as the real kids arrive.
Everything will work out.
We'll have a great home.
I'm so glad we're here together.
Pirate.
Cave.
And lighthouse.
Once upon a time there was a very, very bad pirate
who hid his treasures in a cave, near a lighthouse.
- What treasures? - Stolen treasures.
But it wasn't easy to get into the cave.
How did they get in?
They'd click a stone in a gap in the rocks...
Siṃn!
Siṃn, come on!
What's your name?
I'm Siṃn. Do you want to play?
Why can't you play?
Do you want to come to my house to play later?
What are you doing?
Playing.
But Watson and Pepe didn't come.
It's another boy.
He shouldn't play here. It's dangerous.
Come on, let's go.
Can he come home to play?
Why are you dropping shells?
It's a path for my friend to follow
so he can come and play.
- He made a new friend. How's that? - Another one?
We won't have room for all these kids.
Good afternoon.
Sorry I didn't call
but I couldn't get your number.
Benigna Escobedo.
I'm a social worker.
I'm sorry you've come so far
but there are no interviews today.
Interviews?
No, I'm here for Siṃn.
What a sitting room!
It's a beautiful house.
How did you find it?
I grew up here. It was an orphanage.
I wanted to return, so I thought of the home.
Home?
For special children. That's not why you came?
You'll need a lot of people forthat.
It's not that kind of a home.
We'll be happy with 5 or 6 children.
More would be too complicated.
What about Siṃn?
Yes, of course!
I received his file yesterday
and thought: "I should visit them,
in case they need anything. "
Will you make many changes?
Sorry, I don't understand why you're here.
This information's old.
I know, but I received it.
There are new treatments, an experimental program
that requires an application, You might be interested.
My husband is a doctor.
We're aware of all treatments for Siṃn's disease.
Now please leave.
Siṃn doesn't know he's adopted, or about his illness,
and I'd rather deal with it with my husband.
CHANGE OF RESIDENCE
HIV POSITIVE
Carlos.
I'll go. It's my turn.
Who's there?
What are you doing?
Carlos!
What is it?
Planning to bash the old lady's head in?
Sleep with Siṃn tonight.
If she shows up again, we'll call the cops.
Can I wake up?
You are awake.
You can get up now.
Wendy gets old and dies?
Wendy gets old, but Peter Pan takes her daughterto Neverland.
Why doesn't Wendy go too?
If Peter Pan came to get me, would you come too?
I'm too old to go to Neverland.
- How old are you? - 37.
At what age will you die?
What sort of question is that?
Not for a long time, when you're much older.
I won't get older.
I'm not going to grow up.
Like Peter Pan?
Like my new friends.
- There's more than one? - Six.
- They won't grow up either? - They can't.
What are they holding?
Treasures. To play with.
Yourfriends play together?
Sure.
They steal yourtreasure,
something you love, and you have to find it.
That's the game? Finding treasure?
Yes, but following the clues.
If you find it, they grant you a wish.
Well now.
And you have a treasure?
Special coins.
An old man left them in the park. I think they're gold
and very valuable.
Want to see them?
Don't look yet.
- Where'd you get all this? - I found it.
What's this?
The first ice cream I had after my tonsils operation.
The special coins.
They're not coins, they're milk teeth.
- Where'd you find them? - See?
They're the first clue. They've got my coins.
You want to play treasure hunt?
The game's started.
Rememberwhere you kept my milk teeth.
If I find my treasure, I can make a wish.
Sand. Where do you find sand?
You set this up, right?
- The beach? - No, it has to be at home.
What's this?
The sewing box!
Siṃn, wait!
Come on, hurry up!
This rings a bell.
The key in the kitchen!
Those are Daddy's...
I can make a wish!
Leave that alone!
Those are ourthings, you shouldn't touch them.
I didn't. It was them!
- Don't lie to me. - I'm not lying.
You're lying! You say you're my mother,
and you're not!
- What? - You're not my mother.
- Who told you that? - My friend told me.
- What friend? - Tomàs.
Tomàs said I'm just like them,
I have no mother orfather. And I'm going to die.
You're not my mother, you're a liar!
We wanted you to be a bit older to talk about certain things.
If you want to ask us anything...
Is Father Christmas a lie too?
Siṃn...
You heard Mummy and that lady,
saw the envelope and invented the game
because you were afraid to ask about it.
What if I don't take them?
Nothing would happen.
If I don't take them, how soon would I die?
It would take many days, even weeks.
Don't worry, we'll take care of you. You won't get sick or die.
OK?
You don't love me! It's a lie!
Come down, son!
Hurry, the first kids are here! Come on!
We can't go yet. I want to show you something.
- What is it? - Tomàs' little house.
Not now, darling. You can show me tomorrow.
No!
- Not now, Siṃn. - Now!
Go downstairs right now!
I don't want to!
Come and see Tomàs' house.
If you don't want to go downstairs, don't.
No one is forcing you.
WELCOME
Darling!
Siṃn, son.
What's going on?
Darling!
He's overthere, Carlos!
There's no one, Laura! Come on.
There's no one! We can't stay here!
He's there, Carlos!
Carlos is here.
He spoke to the police, and they want to talk to you.
How are you?
He's not in the caves.
But I saw someone, Carlos.
You must have imagined it,
in all the confusion.
Believe me, he wasn't there.
I'm Pilar.
I know it's hard, but you must know we're doing all we can
to locate your son.
Pilar is a psychologist.
She works with the police.
They're working hard to find Siṃn.
I have a few questions.
Your husband told me about the adoption,
and your son's illness.
As he was adopted,
There are possibilities we must consider.
What possibilities?
That he has been kidnapped by a relative.
I heard you recently found
a woman intruder in the grounds.
Benigna Escobedo, a social worker,
came a few days ago.
We can find no social worker
with that name.
Could you describe her?
She was about seventy, with white hair,
pale eyes, very thick glasses.
We will find her.
You can be sure of that.
How can they trust me with their kids afterthis?
Let's do something.
Wear my grandmother's Saint Anthony medal.
To bring us good luck.
You don't believe that.
Exactly. But you do.
Take it now.
Give it back when we find Siṃn.
Siṃn Sànchez's parents feel more and more forsaken.
The 7-year-old boy disappeared
from his home 6 months ago.
The situation is even more desperate
because Siṃn is ill and needs daily medication.
My son disappeared 6 months ago.
His name is Siṃn.
There are posters everywhere. You may have seen them.
We've tried everything,
but not one clue,
not even a trace.
My son had imaginary friends.
We never paid much attention but...
I have the feeling they're in the house.
I saw my daughter.
A year after her death.
It was at night, we were asleep.
I woke up and,
without knowing why, I went to her room.
And there she was.
Smiling. Calm.
It was herway of telling me:
"I'm fine, I'm safe,
don't sufferfor me. "
It is not unusual to feel, in some way,
the presence of a loved one aftertheir death.
All of us in this group
could tell you similar stories.
You don't understand.
My son is not dead.
His friends took him. I saw one of them.
He was at home.
I'll do whatever it takes to recover my son.
I'm not crazy,
believe me.
I know what I'm saying.
It's her.
The woman who came to the house.
Benigna?
Siṃn!
We went to Benigna's house. We found some pictures
and old Super 8 films.
I'd like you to see them.
Are any of the faces familiar?
Antonia, the principal, the orphans.
My friends.
Mart́n. She liked to be called Mart́n.
Rita.
V́ctor... I think his name was Guillermo.
That's Alicia, she was blind.
And this is me.
Benigna?
The woman you saw
worked at the orphanage.
That's impossible. I'd remember!
She wasn't there very long.
She had a son. Tomàs.
The child was deformed,
he was kept away from the others.
No one knew.
It was a total shock when they found the body.
What do you mean?
It seems he disappeared while playing.
CHILD'S BODY FOUND ON BEACH
Shortly afteryour adoption.
One of the orphans confessed
that they had played a trick on him.
They went into the caves with Tomàs
and took his mask off to see if he'd come out.
But he never emerged. He drowned.
They found his body at low tide.
The children weren't blamed. They were only playing.
That boy was in my house.
We asked everyone at the opening party.
No one remembers a child with a sack mask.
