The Christmas Shoes (2002) - full transcript

AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS

I know that most people decorate
tombs on the Day of the Dead,

but... my mother
loved Christmas.

Therefore, independently
of the weather, every Christmas, I go to
cemetery to decorate his grave.

Can people freeze
if they stay here?

-You're not from around here?
-I left a long time ago

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

If you believe, small miracles
can change your life.

A child who laughs, the car that needs
a repair, even a pair of shoes.

Nor did I know that I needed a
miracle, until it happened.



It was about fifteen years ago

What have I done to
deserve a beautiful girl?

She is amazing, fifty times
more intelligent than me.

Talented, clean your room.

It is excellent in the School.

So maybe you will not go
to my concert tonight?

- This time I will go.
- Maybe I should not go.

-What are you talking about?
-I feel a little dizzy.

You are very well,
sleep a little more.

Dad, when you come
tonight, bring me flowers.

You can bet.

-Robert, do you want to drink your coffee?
-No, I'm late.

- Hey, guess what.
-What?

Remember that Victorian mansion?



The mansion you were
drooling for having?

- As I remember you were the one who drooled!
-On sale.

- It's a great commitment!
- Let's fly higher

- You're coming tonight, right?
- Everyone puts me to the test today!

Buy some roses and
please do not be late.

I have clients from the agricultural
sector who are trying to keep the tubes

of irrigation. It's one thing,
I'm leaving the job now.

You talked to the farmers. true?

Everyone in the company is involved.
Tom prepares documents, Noggets

He does not stop talking with men on his
tractors like removers through his short nose.

They are experienced partners,
they always get what they want.

I am better at what I do.
And I work hard.

Gwen prepared this curriculum for you.

We need you again to teach
a course on Madson Hill.

I think Lilly is used
to staying at home?

Yes! But we agreed to do it...

I think we talk about it.

- See you at night.
- Very good

Is not my style!

I caught her

- Run Run!
- Have you heard, come on!

All right, I'm ready. Come on, strip

I am so sorry!

You hit my antenna, did not you
see me before throwing the ball?

I was just trying to teach
my son how to throw

Think it is so. Whatever.

I'd better take my coffee
before going to school.

- Crepes?
- Oh, boy, it's okay.

Come on mom, why
are you delaying?

I'm going, I'm going!

Well, check out the classifieds!

- Here it is.
- Bom!

- Not yet.

Let me see.

If you get a job as a
cook you will be rich.

Thank you!

Here, mom, I found it, I found it!

We are not going to have puppies.
No way!

Honey, you have more butter?

Why not! You did not
have a dog as a child?

- That's a good argument!
- Help.

I'll take care of him.
No, we do not have much money.

- It's the last thing we need.
- I need a puppy.

- Why can not I have a puppy?
- Why?

Wait a minute!

I do not know dear!

Well, remember my
friend's goldfish?

Two weeks ago they are
floating around the belly.

I did not want to bury him.

Have you finished all your homework?

- The majority?
- The teacher taught them to only do the majority?

- Yes!
- Yes, go to school!

This sucks!

- Do not you want to talk about the dog at least?
- Oh, dear, it's so irresponsible.

- It's just a boy.
- Children have to be responsible.

Your mother says that the dog was
exactly the cure for you
irresponsibility, okay?

-My mother said that?
-Yes.

- Any news from the doctor?
- Nothing new.

So... respect?

Regarding what?

To the puppies?

This is a dirty trick.

- It was not.
- It's not fun

-We'll talk later!
-Bye

I love you!

Andrews Mechanics Workshop

- Hi boss.
- How are you, Carl.

I was thinking about placing a

cappuccino machine, maybe that
will attract more customers

Maybe that will help!

Carl, do you know what a cappuccino is?

An Italian sports car.

We have Italian sports cars around
here, they're a lot of old cans.

Let's go to work!

A pair of magic shoes!

All night the girl put on her special
shoes and ran through the woods...

He danced, as if by magic, the entire night.

When he woke up at dawn,
the shoes were gone.

and she still could not walk.

Nathan!

Come here!

-Because you do not finish the story.
-Agree.

Finally, one day the girl woke up
and told her dream to her mother.

Lying on the bed and motionless, he said:
I do not want to have more dreams

Why? Asked his mother.

Well, I'm tired of dancing
alone, said the girl.

But you never danced alone, said her mother.

You were dancing with the angels.

I am sorry!

I wore a pair of shoes just like this one.

It, it seems dramatic, but

I had never started dancing,
and it was wonderful...

Well, someone got excited about the story.
Besides Mrs. Andrews?

Noooo!

Do not forget to finish
the art project!

And please do not forget
the concert tonight!

The choir members remember to arrive
half an hour early. Thank you!

Hey you know. You have
to finish your studies,

You could have a good
job here, Maggie.

No, I like to do it voluntarily.
Especially the music.

Yes, but think about the pay.

Well, I do not see myself going back to
studios now. Maybe in a few years...

- You would enter my place!
- You say the same thing every year

Next year I'll be in Florida!

-What are you going to do there?
-To have peace and quiet

I'll leave the problems to you.

How many farmers
involved so far?

So far we have twenty-eight, more...

- It bends but we're going to have to sweat the shirt.
- I have a list of names.

I need all the necessary hydrology
documentation of the area that you made,

they have water rights, until
the end of the 19th century.

- All.
- It is done!

I need a study of flora and fauna,
everything that lives: fish, plants. All

The lady who paid the
taxes checks my folder.

We still need your signature and
comments from Boswell Pharmaceutical

They confirmed the interview that
was requested with his wife.

Excellent!

Robert!

I received a call from
John Cardwell, we have

the case of a complicated
farm, in your hands.

Yes, I do not blame them. If
you can testify on your way

There will be a farm
left in the city.

- And when will he testify?
- Morning.

This case is getting too long.

You should have anticipated it before,
not letting things go forward.

It's going to be OK!

Excuse me, Mrs. Andrews

What's up, Lily?

My nose is blocked
and my throat hurts.

I guess I will not sing tonight.

Let see your language.

Well, do you know what I think you have?

Anxiety, I'm the same too.

You know, after you start
singing, it will disappear.

I promise

We are going to be ready.

I will see you later!

Hi, I do not think we've met
before, I'm Lily's mother

I'm Maggie Andrews, it's a pleasure.

Pleasure in knowing her too.

Lily is just adorable.

-Where did you get that voice from?
-I assure you not of me.

- Can I help with these chairs?
- I would like to, thank you!

I studied music for
some time, but...

-You studied music?
-Yes.

Until I found my husband, he
went to law school and...

We had a mountain of accounts to pay and the
music did not seem to be very practical...

Then, I went to study
administration.

- When was your son born had to stop working?
- Something like that.

-And you?
-I am also a teacher... in my dreams.

-Your husband must be very proud of Lily?
-It is.

He is here?

Is coming.

How are you, Kate?
-Good and you?

- Robert is here?
-You know your son.

- How are you, Dalton?
- Well well. Thank you!

Do not you think I
should wear a tie?

Come on! You know I hate ties

You will be great!

Oh, dear, I'm sorry I created a fool for a son.

It's not his fault, he
can not stop working.

Like his father!

Mom!

-Good luck, mom.
-I love you.

-Thank you!
-I love you so much.

Do not fall behind!

My Lord, let me do this work.

Thank you!

Thank you, Thank you
all for being here.

My name is Maggie Andrews, and
I'm the director of the Choir

We have a great show tonight, your
children are great. They worked a lot!

And for this reason, I have great news:
The city has chosen its children

to sing during the illumination of the
Christmas tree in the Plaza de la Ciudad.

The rehearsals will start next holiday
and it is better to be prepared!

OK, let's start. To kick off tonight,
we have a wonderful young singer.

Miss Lilly Layton.

Watch out!

Dalton, I still think you're driving too fast.

Silly stuff!

-And you should wear a tie.
-I never liked wearing ties.

He is very kind to bring me here.

I really live next door, so...

- Would you accept a tea?
- No no. I have to go.

Oh, Dalton, you can stay, I insist!
I want to talk about tonight.

I have to order a table full of papers
waiting for me. Anyway, thank you!

-Hey, Robert!
-Hi! How are you?

Dalton, who is this stranger in my house?
Do not wait, do not tell me.

Oh yes, my son, the lawyer!

- Why do not they put the correct name?
- The price of the company!

A hundred dollars per hour. Dalton, a mother
should not be on her son's side, right?

Mothers love their
children, good or bad.

There is a big difference.

- I need you to sign this.
- What is it.

Revised taxes.

- Work work work. He can not wait?
- Mom, hurry!

Dalton, do not tell me you're tired
it will be when you reach my age.

- Listen to your mother. Goodnight!
- Goodbye!

Sign it! Put it in your mailbox!

- I'm going!
- Robert, do not just think about work!

I already heard you!

- Remember!
- I'm listening!

Kate!

I'm sorry, I had a lot of
cases to review for tomorrow.

And you had to be
until 08:30 PM?

You never had cases where you
stayed until 08:30 at night

All this because I did not
want to go to a concert.

I had 10 thousand phone calls!
Desktop routines

And then someone leaves
for some reason.

It seems to have no life.

I know you, Robert.

And I know that you are capable of
doing anything, even when you can not.

It's Lily who worries me.

She is awake?

Yes!

Hello!

I will not talk to you
I'm in the middle of the Show.

You should not have a
television in your room

-Who is that device?
-Of yours.

I assure you it is
the best for you

How was it?

I was pretty good

-The people asked me for
BIS, daddy -I bet that yes.

You really would
have liked the Show

But, Daddy... I wanted
you to be there

Next time I will go.

I promise.

I know you're tired of hearing the same thing,
but I did not have to be there to
feel proud of you

Kate!

Is not it wonderful? We are all proud of Lily
Layton. How beautiful the future awaits you.

Doctor Mather, come in!

Excuse me, it's too late.

Did not know that the
doctors made visits?

Well, there are exceptions.

Please sit down!

Maggie, the exam results came.

And they are not good.

Your heart is not
pumping correctly.

That's why he has
difficulty breathing.

You have an incongruent
failure in the heart.

But how...

We thought it was
because of the flu.

It is an inflammation
of the myocardium.

It has the same symptoms, but...
it's not the flu.

I would have liked it to be so...
I really would have loved

We think it may be
caused by a virus.

What does it mean?

It means that Maggie's heart
muscle cells are being destroyed.

And this is getting worse.

And now, what are we going to do?

There is nothing more that can be done, I
want to send you to Boston, for more tests.

I can not do this!

Do you need the instruments to sing?

This looks good!

Maybe I'll take one or two for Maggie.
You know how much he loves Chocolate.

I also like Maggie, I wish
I had met her before.

I would have liked to help
her with the whole concert.

I'm feeling aromas, I'll have
to see where they come from

So this is what was driving
me crazy while shaving.

- Do not!
- I think you should return this to the store.

-Just one?
-Dad!

Dad, no!

I see that they are not for me.

They are for the choir!

And, you'll go to the Christmas Concert, right?

If there is a DAY in the year, what
can you count on me is Christmas.

And happily, without a shadow of a doubt,
it will be the last Christmas in this house

Next year we will
be in Madison Hill.

Why Madison Hill?
I do not want to live there.

You will love it, you
will have a large room.

You have an interview with Boswell
Pharmaceutical at 10 o'clock in the morning

Interview for what?

For a new job for mom.

I do not think Robert, I thought
we would talk about it.

- Talk?
- Forget this! I'm going to do the interview.

- I worked hard for this.
- Very good, good. Case closed, I will.

It is true!

Lily!

If you are going to get that job

... I think I will
not see you either.

I called the parents so they did
not send me email after I left.

Doctors say I have to
go to a Heart Hospital

-You'll need a transplant?
-They say it's the only thing they can do

The good news is that they are
determined to make me live.

When they call, we have to go
to Boston as fast as possible

we have to carry these Beeper

Jack has one too.

If you need... of anything,
if I can help in any way.

Well, I was thinking, if you get a
call from school, maybe you could...

take care of Nathan, we'll hire
an assistant to be with him
while we are in Boston.

No, it will not be necessary, Nathan
can stay with me until they return

-Insurance?
-Absolutely.

I have excellent neighbors who like children
who visit them and drink chocolate...

..if Nathan stays with me, rest
assured that he will do his homework

-Everything is set.
-Thank you

Oh, Lily!

Hello everyone!

All right, everyone,
let's get ready.

Well, everyone open their singing books.

We are going to work in groups.

You left it on the
kitchen table.

Maggie, is everything okay?

Do you want me to call a doctor?

I can not do this, I have no strength.

-Kate, can you do me a favor?
-Insurance!

-Continue the class.
-You mean now?

No, I mean the
Christmas Program.

Oh, Maggie, I can not... I
do not have experience...

-But you studied music.
-Yes, but it was a long time ago...

... I can not, I'm not capable.

But you have the heart.

It's just a joke.

Is that...

I have something today.

I do not get!

These children!

Where are the other Lily?

Oh! I know where they
are, I can in a second

Are here!

I think dad has gone crazy.
Fill out the form.

Why? do not!

Oh! Who does this here, your
father had to return it.

It is better to go up to your room.

What's happening, Kate?
You lost your interview.

Something came up at school

-What are you talking about.
-I'm going to do the Christmas Program.

This is not happening, you
did not leave everything.

Did you change the interview for a Christmas
program at school? This is a joke!

-Maggie, be sick.
Maggie?

The music teacher, Robert.
From the choir.

Have an Aspirin, that's
not your problem.

She is waiting for a heart transplant...
a heart transplant.

Something that you could consider.

You have the opportunity
to get a great job.

..in which anyone would do everything
to get it, and you do not want it?

By the way, because the School does not
place a substitute. Are not taxes for that?

It is a voluntary work. If Maggie does not...

... I did it, there would be no Choir,
and without Chorus, our daughter ..

..and the rest of the children, they would
not have experience singing for one ..

community. And I do not know why
I'm giving you explanations.

I think there must be
another volunteer.

There must be someone responsible.

Is that witchcraft?

Because you?

And, why not me, Robert?
why?

This is important for me, maybe it's
something that will make me feel good.

Look, I know this can interfere with

your plans to make money,
but what is best for you.

It's not about me,
it's about the family.

-Then, they are your dreams, you want me to follow you.
-You know what my dreams are?

My dreams are... I'll tell you: I'd
like to go to Dean's desk and ..

tell him to deliver the
cases to someone else.

But I'm not telling you, you know why?
because I have a family to support.

-I feel we are a burden!
- Oh please.

I just want to say that.

What I want to say is: You do
not know what my dreams are.

Robert, that's a problem...

for us two!

Nathan Andrews, what's happening?

Your heart...

... I wanted to know if it was still beating.

This will not work, this will not work!

I said, this would not work.

Sorry!

-Works at Wilson's. -Better,
I'm the owner, Tom Wilson.

This fell out of a delivery truck, I
tried to return it but it was closed.

I called, but a young man
said he was not there.

OK, most people
travel in this era

It seems that the shipping in our.

- It's not exactly your style, but I'll try.
- Very good. Thank you!

I'll call a crane for you.

No, I'll take it to the
one who sold it to me.

No, no, trust me, I know a man,
honest, decent and knows about cars

- I mean, it does not turn on. You will save time.
- Very well thanks.

Well, I'll give you a test, but...
It's probably electric.

Well, I want it as
quickly as possible.

-I will do what i can.
-All right.

Oh, please, put a blanket
over him tonight, okay?

All right.

That guy, he looks like
he drinks cappuccino.

I have to go.

Well, you have something for me, boy.

What do you say if we have an ice cream?

No thanks.

Insurance?

Have you met someone
who likes to hide?

Do not!

I bet you're hungry,
let's get out of here!

Please, can I have your
attention, children?

Attention please!

Class!

Hello everyone.

I'm Kate Layton, Lily's mom.

I'm here to replace Mrs.
Andrews while she's...

Well, listen, I'll need your...

help, I've never done this before, but Ms.
Andrews says that

you are the most, and I know that it is
true because I was in all the concerts

Including when Troy
vomited in the box.

This upcoming Christmas
concert will be great!

Mrs. Andrews is counting on you and
we will not disappoint her, right?

-True!
-As?

-True!
-Sorry?

-True!
-True! Okay, so let's go
to page 33 of the book.

Dr. Lawrence, call 76. Dr.
Lawrence, room 76, please.

-What fast!
-We do it as quickly as possible.

Better put the seat belt.

-Doctor, who is the donor?
-A teenager.

Your poor mother.

I will leave as soon as I finish.

-Curtain lights.
-You like them, do you?

Mrs. Layton takes Christmas seriously.
It took a week to prepare these things

Here, come!

-Hello Ellen!
-Dalton!

-This is Nathan!
-Good good good...

- Hello!
- Will stay with me this
night. Maybe a couple of nights.

I knew you would come. Come with
me, I want to show you something.

Here it is!

- He has all the things that the Red Sox.
- My son!

-A long time ago.
- He must have been good.

It was, everything I did was
practice and practice...

He had to be the best.

-What is your favorite team?
-Oh The Red Sox.

Oh, this is not good.

Maybe you like this.

I'm sure it will work for you.

-Robert will not even know that I'll give it to you.
-Thank you

What is that?

Robert's lunch box.

Well, Cool!

Cool!

Dear Robert, I was remembering
when you were a child

Jack and if the procedure did not work?

I do not know.

The news is not good.

We had problems with
the donor's heart

It was perfect for
your blood type.

But he was infected
with type B hepatitis.

I am so sorry!

And what do we do now? I mean,
there must be something I can do.

Maybe there is another donor, there
is always an opportunity, right?

As Maggie's immune
system is failing,

and her blood type is hard
to find, the odds are...

just for a miracle!

Jack, we must go home.

I'm not going to stay in a hospital.

I want to make an
offer for that house.

I thought you said you
could not pay it.

The Christmas program will end in a couple
of weeks, I will continue after that.

I do not know after that.

Kate!

What are you trying to do

What is happening?

I like the School project, I
like to work with young people.

Maybe I want to teach.

- Go back to school.
- My teaching title is fine.

-When did this start?
-Robert, I'm trying to talk to you for months.

You are never here, the same as when you are,
it seems like I can not get your attention

I was just trying to
make a living, Kate.

What kind of support is that, Robert?

And at what price?

We were two people who
shared the same house.

and sometimes, the same bed.

There are no more options.

I guess you do not want
me to make a new offer.

Think about it a little!

Everything is alright?

If it is!

Oh, Kate!

Hi, Maggie, I did not know if it was all right,
maybe it would be better to come back later.

Nonsense, sit down!

-I will prepare lunch!
-Thank you!

I was dying to chat together
about Christmas music.

-How have the boys behaved?
-Excellent.

I need your advice, Maggie.

I thought, instead of singing on the Christmas
tree, maybe, singing in the streets.

-Resolved, I love it.
-Really?

If you could go from
house to house.

Well, Pierdy complains that almost 90
percent of the fish die at 81, 82 and 83.

Well, those claims are
incredible, ninety percent?

The highest water levels
were ten years ago, then no.

We are receiving more people

- Gwen?
- I'm trying.

Try again. And what about
the Woodshole expert?

It is available, but it was
never used as an expert.

Well if you wait a little longer,
you'll have the biologist who ..

He talked with David
about the Stanley case.

I can not use that type. get to
the Woodshole, he is the man.

Pierdy complains that the farmers...

... they consume a lot of water,
they will testify that the fish die

When the level of the lakes is higher, it
will kill him, Gwen bring them together.

- Mr. Layton?
-Yes!

- Rivercity real estate on line two,
and this was sent by his mother
- Thank you!

-Hello Jeanny.
- Mr. Layton, I was calling you

I had a long day...

It's about the Madison Hill house, I'm sorry
to inform you that there was another offer.

What do you mean, with another offer?

-Someone gave another higher offer.
-And they accepted?

I think so!

You promised me that I would
be the first to know.

I'm very sorry, Mr. Layton,
but I could not find it.

-All right, if this offer fails, let me know.
-I will do so.

No salt is tasty!

-You're good?
-I'm fine, go to work

Wherever you go, just in case.

go away! go away!

Bye! bye!

I do not remember when it was the last time
I saw my husband for lunch, dinner or...

... at the school parent meeting.

I know we live in the same house because
we have to brush our teeth in the morning.

and toothpaste mixed
in the middle.

You know what I think, I think they
are getting slower and slower.

How long are you going to hide that?

I do not know if I can
do more of that, Maggie.

How long are you married?

-Not enough.
-Oh, Maggie, I'm so sorry.

Is nothing.

The problem with Jack...

... he is not ready for
what is going to happen.

Not a little prepared

And Nathan!

I do not want to leave them Kate, I
do not want to leave them like that.

I am sorry!

If you need help with the lesson
at home let me know, okay?

Sometimes I'm afraid
to go home...

and not find my mom.

It's hard to imagine, but Jack and I met
in one of those dance studio classrooms

Jack, and you, kid!

-Nathan?
-Yes!

-How is school going?
- A nuisance!

Great.

Well, anyway, since I was a girl
I loved dancing, but not Jack.

- His mother made him take dance lessons.
- Poor Jack!

- I think she thought about giving him a little pose.
- Or help with the girls.

-Exactly, it helped me.
-And you him.

So every year on our anniversary,
we get dressed and go dancing.

It is very romantic!

I used to have that
pair of dance shoes...

I do not know what happened to them...

every time I put them
on, I just felt so...

...special.

Those few hours once a year...

... they were magical.

Jack, I hated to dance,
but I did it for me.

How good!

It was not bad either,
with each of his hands.

Hey, take care little man!

Attention to all visitors, there is a special
discount on the sale of men's clothing.

Pa .. I need to work!

I need a job now, please!

Well dad, it's very important!

It is very very important!

A job, what are you talking
about, why are not you home?

Hey Boss, the capuchin man
wants to talk to you!

-All right!
-I need to earn some money.

Please daddy!

Nathan, I'm not going
to want puppies, okay?

Do you understand ?, without puppies

But dad, it's not about puppies.

You have my car since last week .. and ..

What accounts are these?

When Jack Andrews takes
an expensive car, sir...

Money is like tin, when you
get to like it, it ends.

You see, 5 cents is 5 cents.

You give me that can, dad!

You did not do well on your
last math test, little man!

I know!

-You can do much better.
- Hey, look at that!

-This is great!
-Great!

It's an empty, dirty can,
what are you talking about?

It's worth 5 cents.

If I get twenty I'll have a dollar,
and I'll pick up a lot more.

I'll make more money

and I can buy a special gift
for my mom at Christmas.

Well enter the car.

Good idea!

Hello, Jake

Mr. Layton, Ronald came.
Nobody else.

When I heard that he was coming,
some others waited to see him.

I know how important
water is for you.

That's it!

Well, I brought a camera, show me
the home of the famous remora.

Not all developers, or Pierdy
environmental groups have achieved it.

Are we going to lose our farms, Mr.
Layton?

Many of us here, we have our roots for
more than one hundred years on this earth

None of that would make a difference for a judge.

Why are they behind
people like us?

Because of fish that nobody wants
to fish and nobody wants to eat?

PIERDY companies like it.

They take advantage of the environment,
they do not care about the fish

They want their lands.

They cut the water, they lower
the prices they buy cheap and ..

It is then that they sell
for a much higher price

I think it's the fish
that are hurting us.

My grandfather was a farmer
during the Great Depression...

... the bank took away his land.

I do not know if we will achieve it...

... but let's fight.

I will talk to all the
experts personally.

whatever the argument they
have to block irrigation.

Well, if we do not win, we
will not be together next year

Thank you!

Thank you!

Nathan, come here!

Nathan!

Nathan!

Why are not you answering me?

I wanted to surprise
Mom with those lights.

Mom has to rest,
without surprises.

The dinner is ready

Nathan!

Thanks for the lights, they are beautiful!

You're welcome!

Your mom is right, the
lights are great son.

I think I'm going to get it, like that, ah?

Honey, talk to Nathan tonight.

-Canta!
-Don't sing this song!

Daddy!

Hello, Robert!
-We already took the dinner.

I'm sorry, I'm late
because of some clients.

We thought you would not come.

Well, sometimes I am
surprised by myself.

We knew you would come, we are going
to prepare something for dinner.

Robert!

Sit down!

It smells good, everything smells good!

This is the test
of the pink tray.

This pink tray is the
improvement you have made.

Robert, I'm not blind
and I'm not stupid!

Something is wrong between you and Kate.

You're right.

You know, people actually go
through things that are very...

... more complicated!

It's when you put your
marriage in play.

And what are these things: power, prestige, taking
the account to see who is the first of the company.

I still remember your feet
after you got out of the crib.

And sometimes I remember...

... the smell of grass,
after cutting it.

Sixth grade... Oh, the man who became,
when he brought me the report card.

All outstanding.

... and your first deadly game.

Rivercity against the Redsox.

Oh, and when I saw the tears in
your eyes when they lost the game.

Thinking you
disappointed the team.

Common things, Robert.

Simple things, from day to day.

Your father failed, in
many of those things ..

... he never shared these memories.

At the end...

... And in the end I think that
you would like to share them too

They arrived separately,
they will split apart.

They do not realize how
much they love each other.

Sometimes the darkest
things are for some reason.

-Good evening, Dalton!
-Goodnight!

What things in the world, are
you doing with all those cans?

What's wrong with trying to make
a better world for someone.

Are you okay, do you look tired?

I'm fine, just worried.

Safe?

Yes!

Do you want me to help you
turn off all the lights?

No, I'm going to leave them like
that, I'm going to sit a little.

-Good, goodnight!
-Goodnight!

Is beautiful!

Your design is so smart.

I would like to put
angels in the front, mom.

I love the Angels.

Soon I will see a lot of Angels.

you will do it?

Yes!

In the sky.

Why does God have to
take you to heaven?

I do not have all
the answers Nathan?

But...

... It's not like, that He takes me...

..but it's ok that He is
receiving me in Heaven

-Exist animals in Heaven?
- I bet they have many animals.

-Children?
-Principally puppies.

Call me mom, I told dad... he would
not want to be taken to heaven!

No, he understands.

Let me know if he changes his mind.

You know...

.. Can you be somewhat angry with me sometimes, because I
have to go, but I want you to know that everything is fine.

But remember always...

... that you are my greatest joy.

And I love you very much.

Will the grandfather see?

He will meet me at the door.

Tell him one thing for me?

Insurance!

When I was alone, I found a
dollar in his dressing room...

and I took it!

And I ended up spending it. I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry.

I will tell that to him.

Do not go mom!

I do not want you to
leave, I need you.

I just have to go, dear. I have to...

Take me with you.

No, you need to stay
here with your daddy!

Nobody is going to take you out now
that you have to take care of him.

Agree.

Nathan.

Even if mom has to leave...

you will always
know where mom is.

..here!

you promise me?

I promise.

Do you know mommy?

Every time I feel
my heart beating

I will remember You

Thank you!

Oh God!

Ellen!

The lights left out here.

Ellen!

You left all the
lights on outside.

It's going to cost
you a small fortune!

Ellen!

Oh no!

We had little time.

It was very fast.

She continues to live
inside of us, Robert.

Feel free to call, no
matter the time. Agree?

Do not delay, Jack.

I appreciate everything.

Daddy!

-Where are you going?
-I'm going out.

-With Dalton-True?

- Well, I think I'll have to see...
- I'm going to buy cereals.

I'm going to buy lunch, I'm
going to do a little ..

Tuna sandwich.

Dalton will arrive at any time.

- Surely you do not want to stay?
- It's Christmas Eve, Dad.

I have something important to do.

Agree.

Do not be late!

Yes I know!

- I brought this lunch!
- Oh thanks

Let's go downtown!

This is the center of the river street.
You can find something here.

It's one of the most beautiful Christmas
trees I've seen, what do you think?

-Get one!
-Excellent.

Remember when I told you that ..

I had never lost
anyone close to me?

Yes!

Well, I lied!

My wife died eleven years ago,
shortly before moving here.

Why did he lie?

Because it was painful
to talk about it.

And why do you talk about it now?
-Why...

... I know the pain does not go away...

... If you do not want to talk about it.

It's good to know that.

Let's cross here.

- Hey, another one!
- Yes!

- Another can!
-Yes!

Uau!

- Check it out!
- What's going on here?

This is a gold mine!

- You were right, it's a great place
to find the cans.
- Yes

Each one is worth 5 cents, and there
are probably a hundred of them...

... then they are like 5 dollars.

They are many cans

And they are all mine. I'm
going to make a lot of money.

And what will you do with that pile of money?

I'll buy the Christmas
shoes for my mother.

Ok, let me help you.

Where is Robert?

Let's wake up to the city!

I have to go. It's Christmas Eve!

You should go too.

I beat him, Gwen.

Well, if no one can Robert, can

Merry Christmas!

-Thank you!

To you too.

Jack.

You have to let me go.

I know.

Jack

About the puppy

I will have to accept it.

One more thing.

We can dance?

Agree!

Ok, I have you!

-Hey!
-Sorry!

Oh, no, no... no

It can not be
closed, it can not.

Open... Please!

-Excuse us sometimes we close the door
early.
-Thank you!

How old are you?

-Seven!
-seven!

Excuse me, I'm looking for a...

Lonely doll, I think
they saved one for me?

We keep one until 6:00 p.m. It's
Christmas Eve, we had to sell it.

I could try Dealinger's, but
they sure sold everything, too.

Do not!

Do not!

Where is it?

world that does not reject such a gift.

You are missing five
dollars and fifty cents

I stuttered, or something like that. You

Look boy...

You do not have enough money, you're
getting stuck, you come back next year.

Then it will be very late!

Very late!

-Mr!
-Yes?

-Mr!
-Yes!

I do not have enough money, and...

My mom is really bad.

Hey, hey calm!

who was about to die.

This will be my mom's Last Christmas...

I left for Heaven.

You can take them.

Oh, sir, it would help me,

Thank my Lord!

Mr!

Ready?

He went!

Do not!

No, I do not think it is.

I do not want to leave again?

Tonight you really need to
be taken, can you help me?

Almost a Miracle, is not it?
Snowing at Christmas.

Go to the concert?

-Yes.
-Come with me.

My father made me swear
that I did not...

would miss any Christmas concert

I thought it would be
behind Times Square.

It was, but everything changes, do not you think?

"Sir, I want to buy these shoes...

... For my mother please

It's Christmas Eve and they
are exactly your number.

Could you hurry, sir?

Dad says there's not much time.

You see, she has been
sick for some time

I know these shoes will make you smile

And I want it to be beautiful

I know mom will meet JESUS

Tonight.

You can hurry, sir

Dad says there is not much time

See you, I want her to look beautiful

If mom goes to meet JESUS

I arrived mom!

Maa!

I bought you these shoes.

So you can use them in Heaven.

These are the most beautiful
shoes I have ever seen.

Can you place them for me?

Insurance!

Thank you!

Nathan!

Do not forget...

My dad loved music...

...a lot!

I know you're worried I know you.

We will be fine!

Do not care anymore!

Hello Dalton, have you seen Kate?

It's there!

I'm sorry about your friend!

I also.

This is your husband, ma'am?

Yes!

I certainly appreciate all that Mr.
Layton has done for us.

You know, he's been working
late, and it's very difficult.

But we would be lost if
it were not for him.

Your husband has given
us hope this Christmas.

What happened to you tonight?

I went to Wilson to pick up the doll...

Of course, they had already sold it, and then...

I found that boy.

who showed me how much I love you

Do not!

It is true,

So much!

To you and Lily.

And I want you to teach,
you were born to teach.

And I'm not interested in buying the house,
and I do not care if you come back ..

to school, and I do not
care about anything else.

I've been so stupid!

I only want to make you happy.

You forgive me?

I already forgive you.

What do you say?

Very good!

-Where are you going, it's three thirty?
-I have to go to a game of Basketball

-Okay coach, give them hard!
-OK!

Dear Robert, I was remembering
when you were a child,

You had so much
passion for things.

you used to talk about the things
you would do when you were big

I just want to tell you that it does not
matter what difficulties you may face

GOD is there!

Maybe, it will be in Lily's
songs, or in Kate's laughter

In the simplest things, but
if you listen carefully...

you can hear it

I miss you, mom!

Kate is doing it for the best.

Lily too.

You would be proud.

He's the first person I see
around here at Christmas...

...in years

I was just thinking the same thing

Well, I have to go, the studios.

-College?
-Medicine School.

Merry Christmas

For you too!

Nice hat!

Pretty?

- Subtitle not translated -

If you are open to it, small
miracles can change your life.

The laughter of a child,
a dinner in a pink pot

A car that needs fixing

even a pair of shoes.
