We are gathered here to say goodbye to the baby who could not be...

Anita.

We miss you even though we did not meet you,

but we pray for you to leave in peace and...

for you to meet with all the babies that could not be,

of all the women and girls of the world.

Amen.

How old are you?

and Cleo, she's twelve.

I'm Aylin and I'm ten.

Which school do you go to?

I'm on vacation, I had to come from Paraguay because
my grandma couldn't take care of me anymore...

I'm on vacation, I had to come from Paraguay because

So you don't live with your mom?

No... she only comes to see me on holidays...

I would miss my mom very much...

Do you want me to show you something I found in the market?

Yes.

Whose is that?

This was written by a girl who was
kidnapped by the "School bus Driver".

Thanks

And who is that?

I don't know if I can tell you, because it's a scary story...

Yes, do it. I'm the oldest and I allow you to.

Besides, our mom allows us to watch horror movies.

He's a man that used to take kids to school,

but he made the girls disappear.

In the dirt roads is where he robbed most of them.

But that happened in Paraguay...

Yes, but the other day, at you Grandma's house,

... I saw on the news that a girl was kidnapped here in Buenos Aires....

... and I feel that this paper was written by that girl.

("HELP")

And I also have this.

Who is she?

She's the sister of my second cousin, Iris.

Since her six years old that she no longer exists.

Because somebody kidnapped her.

What's that?

and didn't let her see her family ever again.

It means that a bad person took her
and didn't let her see her family ever again.

and didn't let her see her family ever again.

Many people there in General Delgado, said they saw him...

... so maybe the "School bus Driver" took her.

Here, there was a case of a girl who disappeared...

and her mother started looking for her...

and once they found written in the
bathroom door of a gas station her name...

... warning that she was alive.

Nerina, it's scary...

I told you, now my mom is going to be mad at me...

Don't worry, we won't say anything.

1, 2, 3.

A little sailor threw me a piece of paper,
that paper said to marry him...

... I grabbed the pen and answered,
that I would marry, but not him...

that I would marry, but not him...

if you'd marry that animal.

Tell me little girl tell me the truth,
if you'd marry that animal.

if you'd marry that animal.

I'm too young to be a mom...

No mama, no papa,
I'm too young to be a mom...

No mama, no papa,

I have to wash, I have to iron...

and I have to put up with my husband.

Do you want to try my cake?

Shall we sing the happy birthday to Leoncia?

Happy birthday to you...

happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday Leoncia...

Happy birthday to you.

Make your wishes!

Three!

Cleo

I'm cold, can you make me the hair dryer-thing?

Manu...?

What?

About her little cousin...

Do you think is true what Aylin told us?
About her little cousin...

I don't know...

Once at school, it happened that a girl never came back.

Viola was her name.

A week before, she celebrated her birthday
at her gradmother's swimming pool,

And one day she stopped coming to school,

but the teacher never said anything...

Her little sister kept coming to school...

Then she changed school.

in one of those school buses.

Now that I think about it, she used to come to school
in one of those school buses.

Look for challenges where you can
ensure you love each other...

and do not leave forgiveness aside

That test is bullshit.

No

Bunny!

And you?

No, neither... but I'm very curious about it...

How would it be like?

Doesn't it happen to you?

What's the name of the boy you like?

Lorenzo.

Well say "Lorenzo, I love you, I can't help it anymore".

And then, you kiss him, the tomato, I mean.

No... you do it.

Okay

Tomas, I love you, I can't help it anymore.

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of many things, such as monsters,
cockroaches, spiders, the Ayuwoki...

Of being alone in the dark.

And just these things scare me...

And also the vampires...

the monsters, everything...

I'm afraid of all that.
