If !

Come.
Ah, here.
Yes, the lines
are very close together.
It means that it rises strong.
Or that it goes down,
look at the numbers.
Don't put your fingers
Full of chocolate on the card.
Can I really not have an iPhone?
Just for Google Maps?
You won't find these signs,
On Google Maps.
What does that sign?
- It's the places where you can camp.
Elsewhere is it forbidden?
Not in the Netherlands, nor in Germany,
But there are enough land where it is authorized.
There is still one there.
- Make a brand. Alright.
Do you give them to your bird?
Choco.
Are you okay, his injury?
- He is not healed.
It is better, all the same. But I want
to keep it and take care of it.
We'll see.
Still three days?
- Yes.
Sleep well.
Good night.
- Good night.

During the holidays? Caitlyn?

And Yuna?
What do you do during the holidays?
- Camping with my dad.
Where are you?
We're going to hike in the Ardennes,
up to my brother in Germany.
On an adventure!

Even higher?
Yes.

Like earlier, plan the line.
You can do it!
Are we trying again?
Yuna!
- But I'll get there!
Start by making your bag,
please.
But the ball ...
We have to take it with us!
You just had to play with it!
Okay, will prepare your things.
I take the scale.
Iona, could you tell
me how old are you?
Iona, do you hear me?
It's Yuna.
Excuse me, Yuna.
How old are you ?
Eleven years.
- Where's your mom, Yuna?
Where's your mom?
- In Japan.
Do you have brothers, sisters?
A brother.
Yuna.
You were fast.
- Where's Dad?
What about the doctor?
- I don't know.
Do you have money?
- No, sorry.
Are you hungry?
- A little.
Vanderlinden?
- Yes.
You want to go and sit down
While I speak to your brother?
She can stay.
Your father suffers
of severe head trauma.
Can we see it?
Yes, but because of the cerebral hemorrhage,
We put it in an artificial coma.
He was unable to breathe
independently.
And now ?
We hope he will recover quickly,
But we cannot guarantee anything.
Do you know where to go tonight?
- I stay here in Belgium, with Yuna.
What about your mother?
- She is warned. She arrives.
Do you think we can camp?
I don't know, Yuna.
Dad is awake?
No.
Stay in bed, it's still early.
But I'm already going to go.
Where are you going...
....in the hospital.
Do you want to come?
You don't have to.
- If.
Yuna, it's not an hour
To eat cornflakes.
Put at least a little milk.
There are no more.
Who do you call?
Pizza?
Really ? Can I call them?
A Hawaiian for me.
Hello ?
I would like to order pizzas.
A Hawaiian and a four cheeses.
Can I have more ham on mine?
I take the four cheeses.
A euro of supplement,
are you okay?
Yes, an additional ham supplement.
And also corn.
More corn on both pizzas,
Is it possible?
Hello ?
Sorry. No hawai on the corn pizza...
Uh. No corn on Hawaiian. Yes.
Is it true that mom will come?
Yes, she arrives tomorrow.
When, tomorrow?
In the afternoon.
Do you still have Skyp?
Yes, when she had sent
A pack of candies.
And you ?
I hope she's going again
Bring these candies.
Yuna, eat a little cleanly!
I'm going to look
for a paper towel.
Mom.
Here, money.
We're going there.
Sorry, it took time.
Your little sister Otoka.
Otoka is your big sister.
Pretty girl, huh?
You grew up.
How old are you ?
Eleven years.
You must be tired
to stay here for so long.
Tired?
Kai.
It's been a long time.
We will wait outside.
I put the suitcases there?
THANKS.
Can I really sleep here?
Yes, no problem.
It would be bored if I was
going to sleep at a friend?
For what ?
Mom sleeps in my old room.
- So sleep here.
Look at this bed. Look at me.
Is it my size?
He's too small,
It's in Otoka format, huh!
And dad's room?
Can I have a piece of paper?
I leave you the address.
No, not my drawing book!
There.
You know what would be
Practical now?
What ?
- an iPhone.
It does not depend on me.
Are you still going
to the hospital?
Yes. In any case...
My boyfriend lives in groenstraat,
It's halfway between here and the hospital.
Do you eat with us?
The meal is almost ready.
Can you put this on the table?
Do you give them?
Please.
THANKS.
Only one,
we're going to eat soon!
Can I have one?
Can I give him?
No !
It is the dad of Yuna and Kai.
Otoka, do you give the gifts
to Yuna and Kai? Yes !
Please.
THANKS.
- THANKS.
Otoka, get to the table.
Look, we have the same!
Not yet, Otoka!
Enjoy your food.
Enjoy your food.
A little salad?
Otoka, be careful.
Yuna is coulis
Or tomatoes in pieces?
Coulis.
Ouch.
- Otoka, are you okay?
Are you in pain?
- Here.
I want to go home.
- Yes, we're going to go.
Otoka,
we can speak with dad.
How are you ?
- I'm doing well.
We just shopped.
Everything has changed so much.
Did you buy something good?
We ate a dessert.
- I'm jealous!
What have you ate?
Tone favorite dessert, dad.
A chocolate mousse!
And time is it okay?
- GOOD.
A bit like in Tokyo.
- And there?
Cloudy, but it's okay.
What time is it?
Here ? Half past four.
- Still full day.
What time is it in Japan?
- Eleven hours and a half.
What's it?
Hospital...
I want to go to
The hospital.
The hospital?
Visit hours are over.
We will go tomorrow.
We cannot go there
that at certain hours ...
But Kai goes to
The hospital.
You want to see Dad, huh.
Does it sting?
Your sister is here.
- What ?
Yuna?
What are you doing there,
at this hour? I couldn't sleep.
Does mom know you are here?
Did you come by bike alone?
- Yes.
Not bad.
Do you still have?
Otoka ate the rest.
How are you at home?
How are you here?
How are you.
I will go home tomorrow,
For my business.
I return to Bochum for my exam.
Do you want to come with me?
- Yes.
There is a gigantic wood.
- It's true ?
Gigantic!
Kai! You scared me!
What's it?
Sorry.
Are you sleeping anyway here,
finally?
I take Yuna with me in Germany.
It will please him.
When ?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow ?
But we just arrived.
It will do him good.
We don't often have
The opportunity to see each other.
Ah yes, and why?
We come back after my exam.
Yes...
OK.
Yuna.
Look at the branch.
- Where?
Where there are the branches ...
- What branch?
No, he left.
How was he?
Small like that
and with lots of colors.
A train?
- I don't know.
It looks like red-gorge
but these are not the same colors.
They can fly for days
without resting.
Pay attention to the branch.
I have an idea, Yuna.
- What ?
Are you trying to jump above me?
Do you manage to jump like that?
- A little lower.
Not in my face!
With dad,
I jumped 100 centimeters.
Again.
- A little higher.
I do it with my hands, I don't
want have your feet in my face.
OK.
- Is it high enough?
Have you seen this slug?
No, no, no!
Do we do something?
Sorry Yuna,
I have to study now.
I forgot my notebook at home.
You can play with my phone.
Where are your games?
On the left, above,
in this file.
There is nothing interesting.
Kai?
I want to go home.
Are we going back
in two days, okay?
I have to take care of Choco.
- Choco?
The bird that dad and me
saved together.
Dad may already be awake.
Mom
What are you doing ?
- Nothing.
Look at what you did!
Why did you want to call him?
I want to go home.
- And after?
What are you doing ?
- I'm going to mom's.
How do you plan to do?
Eh ?
Well go ahead, with mom's!
A little sandwich for the trip?
Go ahead with mom!
I was more or less your age
When she left.
Do not hope she will stay
With us, Yuna.
Tickets, please.
Who is still on board the train?
THANKS.
Have a good trip.
THANKS.
Have a good trip.
THANKS.
Who is still on board?
THANKS.
Have a good trip.
Your ticket, please.
Your ticket?
Where are your parents?
Do you understand me?
Your name?
- Yuna.
Your name, here.
Where do you live ?
Belgium.
Your address, do you know your address?
And the phone number?
THANKS.
Wait here.
Your mother arrives, yes?
I had his brother on the phone.
She fled when she
was alone at home.
Has he left his little
sister on his own?
Apparently. It happens.
And he speaks German.
Are you thirsty?
Drink ?
Vanderlinden?
- Yes, Kai Vanderlinden.
I come to get my sister.
- Yes, sit down.
Why did you go like that, Yuna?
I'm sorry.
Are you talking about German?
- Yes, I live here.
Can we leave?
Your mother is already on the way.
They are there!
Yuna.
How are you ?
We don't leave
a child alone like that.
You are no longer a kid, kai,
Drive up as an adult.
Did you drink all these cocasters?
Excuse me.
Your ID please ?
It has only one tourism visa.
She has lived in
Japan for seven years.
What about your father?
He's not there. I can take care of Yuna.
Has your father never been there?
- He's in a coma.
Sorry.
- THANKS.
What does she say, Kai?
The girl lives with
you in Belgium?
For now.
But I can take care of Yuna.
Your mother always has the supervision,
She must be with her.
Mom ?
I want to go home.
Yes. Excuse me,
is there a problem?
No.
- Can we leave?
THANKS. Come, we get home.
We will go see dad together
When I come back ok?
You don't have to leave
on your own like that, you know?
It could have turned very badly.
What if you really lost?
How is Dad?
He is not yet awake.
Is it true that you will leave?
I cannot stay in Belgium.
Yuna, what are you doing!
How are you ?
You don't hurt?
Sorry.
Otoka gave him food.
Where is my drawing book?
Talk to me in Japanese please.
My drawing book.
I put it in your room.
Yuna?
You don't have to worry.
Worry?
Worried.
What are you drawing?
It's beautiful.
Yellow there?
No, blue, there. Blue.
He seems to sleep,
but he heard you.
I jumped 105 centimeters,
When I was at Kai.
You remember that
I often danced here?
I soon have a show in Japan.
A show.
So I have to repeat now.
So your mom came to Belgium.
First my brother and then my mom.
Your brother?
Yes, he came from Germany.
He studies in Bochum.
And you will
sometimes see your dad?
With someone?
Cousins, cousins?
I have no cousins.
Your dad has brothers, sisters?
Thank you, Yuna.
You can go play,
I'm going to talk a bit with your mom.
My interpreter colleague will help us.
It will be easier to speak like that.
Hello, delighted,
I will be your interpreter.
You understand that we
worry about Yuna's situation?
Yes.
Sorry to be so direct,
But what's going on for Yuna...
...if his father does not wake up?
I talked about it with my husband,
in this case, Yuna will come with me to Japan.
Is your husband Japanese?
Yes, we have a six -year -old daughter.
Yuna gets along very well with her.
Has Yuna already lived in Japan?
What's it?
I'm thirsty.
Otoka, calm down a bit.
- But Yuna ...
Stop arguing, will apologize.
What are you doing ?
Where is a mom?
- Inside.
I come with you.
- No.
I'm going to tell mom.
Mom !
Yuna!
Wait for me!
The faster,
Ching, Chang, Chong!
Yuna!
Where were you?
Bike.
- Where's Otoka?
There.
- Or ?
I don't know.
- How don't you know?
Go up!
There !
Let go! Calm,
you just looked for your house.
Yuna?
How are you ?
Come.
Doctor?
I think the patient wakes up.
Yes.
THANKS.
Yuna.
Shouldn't you be at school?
It's the holidays.
Holidays ...
We will camp, huh ...
Kai.
How is Dad?
He regained consciousness.
But...he is very confused.
Confused.
It'll be OK.
It'll be OK.
Does his dad do he miss him,
in Otoka?
If.
She never passed
So much time away from him.
Before,
...when I was little,
...I dreamed that
I could fly like a bird.
Like that...
I could fly at low prices
Between Belgium and Japan.
It's funny that
I was so concerned...
by the price of plane tickets,
...when I was little.
If you were a bird, It would not
be at low prices, but free!
When I can go home?
It's hard to say, It all depends
on the rest of the revalidation.
I do my best.
On the physical level, you are advancing well,
you do the exercises very well.
But we are worried
about your autonomy.
My daughter lives with me.
Do you have your
notebook with you?
What ?
You have a notebook that helps you
For your memory.
I don't need a notebook.
- In your pocket, dad.
I really don't need a notebook!
Hey !
Again?
- Yes.
I have to do exercises, huh!
You jump better than me now.
I practiced.
- Yes ?
It's too high.
I get there.
What are you doing ?
Excuse yourself.
Excuse yourself
with this gentleman!
Excuse yourself.
Excuse yourself!
Yuna!
Yuna!
No !
No !
Yuna.
Leave me alone.
I am in dad's room,
If you need me.
Yuna. There is your favorite
dessert in the fridge.
Chocolate mousse.
Come and eat it if you want to.
Yuna?
We go to dad.
I don't want to.
What are you going to do at home?
Yes.
Are you sure?
But get up anyway,
It is almost noon.
Yuna.
Come!
Choco.
Ouch!
How are you ?
Choco!
Sorry.
He looked sad,
so I opened his cage.
Hello, Julien.
How long do you stay?
We come in in two days.
I have a show in four days.
I stay here.
Don't worry, dad.
Do you want to eat?
We brought things.
Julien? Sit, please.
- What are you doing, dad?
I will help.
Sit, please!
Have you ever seen the garden?
Are we going to camp there?
But it's a garden.
Yes.
A little imagination.
Yuna!
Wait, it's rude.
Julien?
You want to give the gift
To Yuna now?
A smartphone!
Thank you dad!
Take care.
It's to call and for maps.
No games.
- None ?
Only one.
And only on weekends.
Yuna, don't you want to draw?
Dad said not to pass
Too much time on the phone.
It doesn't work.
-Give it to me.
Yuna?
It's not over,
you can't watch.
Can I, Yuna?
I'm not going to look at anything,
Could I just have a blank page?
Can you read this?
Your name.
Yu-na.
Yu for nice and na for petals.
A gentle sheet in nature.
It was your father
who chose your name.
It is funny that he chose a Japanese name
while he does not speak Japanese. Isn't it?
You were still very small ...
When dad and I divorced.
But at that time,
...Papy Tokyo
has become very sick.
He was in a coma,
like dad.
What is a coma?
Coma.
He was in a coma like dad,
And I had to take care of him.
Do you understand?
So I returned to Japan ...
And you and
kai you stayed with dad.
As Kai is now in Belgium for dad.
Yuna?
We would like you to come
with us in Japan.
I don't want to.
I understand you.
I still want to camp with dad.
Otoka, Kai,
we're going to eat.
Enjoy your food.
Enjoy your food.
Choco!
Yes, like that.
Yes, firm.
And...
And on the side ...
No, on the other side.
Yes, you go down.
And if you turn now ...
You hear the gas, and then
there is a flame...that's it!
And then the water...
half a bottle.
Again ?
- A little. Yes.
And then the pasta.
It doesn't weigh anything.
And does it become pasta?
It's not very
good for health, but ...
We have to survive here,
in nature.
And we have to pay very
attention to the bears.
Please note, a raptor!
Choco is free.
Didn't you want to keep it?
Come on,
put them in the water.
Stir well.
Everything is good in nature,
anyway.
Mom gave me chocolate mousse.
You have to turn it.
The spoon must be down.
Mom spoke with you?
We can call ourselves every day.
Now that you have a smartphone.
You shouldn't be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
Japan ...
Japan will be for you ...
A great, new adventure.
The campsite is nothing,
next to it.
Yuna!
Yuna, wait!
