:00:01
How can I put it? It's painfuI.
:00:06
There have been two Iines
on my mother's face for years.
:00:09
- Lines?
- Yes, Iines.
:00:11
You mean scars?
:00:12
Yes, scars.
:00:14
They are marked during the ceremony.
:00:18
The first scar
:00:20
was for the death of my aunt.
:00:23
My poor mother did it
:00:26
to show her Iove to my father.
:00:29
The second,
:00:33
was for the boss of the factory
where my father worked.
:00:38
One of his cousins had died.
:00:43
So that my father
wouIdn't Iose his job,
:00:49
my mother mourned a great deaI.
:00:53
She scratched her face.
I couIdn't beIieve it.
:00:56
There was a Iot of competition
at the factory
:00:59
between the men to hoId
onto their jobs.
:01:03
Need and necessity, you see?
:01:06
Everyone pIayed aIong.
:01:08
There was a great deaI of pressure.
They aII needed work.
:01:11
No question of showing pity
or giving in,
:01:15
everyone dispIayed themseIves,
:01:17
pushed themseIves forward
to pIease the boss.
:01:21
Each wanted to show that he grieved
more than the others.
:01:25
That he was with him.
That he was IoyaI...
:01:30
That kind of thing
doesn't interest me.
:01:35
When I think about it,
:01:37
it's painfuI.
:01:40
Let me teII you...
:01:42
I think the origins of this ceremony
:01:45
are bound to the economy.
:01:47
What I just toId you is engraved
:01:51
in their memories. It has been
:01:54
for years and for generations now.
:01:58
You Iook on it from the outside.
