Good night.
You know what? They're asking me to clean up with the dishes, and then I'll eat them alone.
You know what? They're asking me to clean up with the dishes, and then I'll eat them alone. It's funny.

My father came from England, knowing everything. He was from Raul, because he was from Molino Sampson.
What is Molino Sampson? The one you see when you go through the field?
Through the field, yes.
Oh, I don't know where they are now, but they're all from England.
My brothers were also from England.
Why did you come here?
Because when you get used to living on the island, I didn't want to go anymore.
I started when there was a man up there who was making boats, and one day I went there to see how my boat was going.
When I got there, the lady was crying. I said, what's wrong with you, lady?
They were going to cut my daughter's leg. On Monday, I had to go with my husband and the girl, the little one.
I said, why? Let me see her. I looked at her and she had a bad knee infection, and she had a red line.
And at that time they were cutting her fingers.
They were cutting her fingers, because the lady who had had a bad knee infection cut her hand.
So I told her, look, that's Monday. You have to go to get your leg.
I said, let me go until Monday. Yes, lady, yes. So I came here to look for the things up there.
I went and I said, wait a minute.
With what?
With this sun. It's like a storm.
Then on Saturday, I went three times. On Sunday, when I went, the lady was happy, because the girl had slept all night.
She didn't cut her leg?
No, so they didn't cut her leg.
So, well, that's where it all started.
They all came here to see it.
So?
All life fighting.
More or less. Fighting. But my angel always falls.
Because of coincidences, things continue.
And who is the angel?
I don't know, but here he is.
For me, they are not coincidences.
Where did you study?
I was in San Isidro Girls' School.
In San Isidro. I took the train all morning and came back in the afternoon.
And good memories of that time?
Yes, yes. I believe it. We lived horses.
Or in the river.
In the river La Plata.
But how old were you, Clemens?
86.
I was 27 when I arrived.
Well, here I walked a lot. I took all the nuts.
The nuts?
I took all the nuts this year.
And I put all the leaves in the basket, too, and burn them.
And a lot of nuts?
Yes, pecan nuts.
These are the ones I brought from the United States.
I sent them.
These ones.
They were small.
These were sent from the United States?
Yes. I took care of them.
A man I knew.
And he sent them to me.
They were small.
I came and said I was crazy.
I was 47.
Inta told me I was crazy.
And they told me not to...
They came to tell me not to do that.
Because it was crazy.
You don't know that there is the winter here in Verano.
I said yes, I know that.
And well, the thing is that there were six plants, girls.
And none of them dried up.
How many were there? Six?
Six.
And what are they?
That's one. This is another.
That's another.
And one more over there.
And one was given to a man there in Canal.
In Canal, who was the brother of the one who was in the United States.
And how is she?
Well, she's good.
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
From Araigana.
Cooking.
Cleaning.
Planting.
Laundry.
And well...
With the plants?
Well, I'm planting now, I'm planting.
Well, in November it's instead of planting.
So I'm going to finish this week.
And where are the plants?
And the same plants.
Up to two.
It came out a lot, right?
It's over there.
Ah, then I could...
There it is.
And I'm trying on this, the plum.
What are you trying?
To insert there.
To see if it works.
Insert it?
With what?
It's a bulb, isn't it?
I make a...
I take out the shell of a piece like this.
Right?
Yes.
I put the paste on it, like a mud.
Aha.
And then the plastic...
I take out the muzzle, the muzzle.
The fifth one.
Right there.
Yes.
And then I touch it with a plastic.
Yes.
Now in March...
And it gives me the muzzle alone?
Yes, that.
It makes the root.
Aha.
Here a root is born.
And it cuts it after where?
Here.
Right here, before...
Here?
Aha.
Then I take this out and bury it.
Yes.
I already had a root.
And from this I take out so many plants
like insects do from this.
That's right.
Do you sell them afterwards?
No.
Almost always a gift.
I haven't sold them, I haven't sold them.
And with the nut?
Huh?
The nut.
I sell them at the nut.
That's right.
But...
And your father came to see that?
His work, his own work?
My father, no.
The nut, no.
He no longer existed, father.
He died before I came to this house.
And he wanted you to come here to the Delta?
I came to the Delta because they sent me
because he was sick.
Of course.
And he could breathe better from this side
for nothing.
His heart was empty.
And in that time there were no remedies
for the heart.
There were no antibiotics either.
There was nothing.
That's why one...
had to fix it as soon as possible.
So...
That was 32 years ago.
Yes.
And well, I don't know.
Is someone here?
Very well.
And when did you come?
He always went crazy.
He got jealous a few days earlier.
At that time I saw Rau,
she said that she got me
I don't know much about flour, that's why I almost dropped it.
The Paraná is so impressive.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know how to talk about the island.
Well, I actually didn't know much about it.
That boat with the carpenter is so beautiful.
Yes.
When I see a helmet like this on the ground, it always gives me...
...a lot of desire to see it sail fast.
And...
More or less, it's a work of artisanism.
It works wood by wood.
You see the floor of the house, the tables.
Yes.
Look, I learned it with...
...I mean, with veteran people, nice people.
I worked very young.
I went to work as an assistant of a man...
...I went to France to work in the workshop with this man.
And since I had that vocation that I had...
...or that one that comes from...
...of the boat like this, from the inside...
...I liked to learn something beautiful that I learned.
I liked it and I looked at the free rats that I had.
When I finished doing some task of helping me...
...all those five minutes of free rest.
And I looked at how I was doing.
And there?
No, we met in Valle.
But, well, he...
...in the school of...
...here in La Rocha de Brasno.
And, well, there I was 13 years old...
...and he was 16 years old.
What a story.
And we got married, I was 18, and he was 21.
I had finished the military service that at that time was...
...at 20.
I wanted to do the military service.
And, well, after that...
...of course, at the beginning it was difficult because...
...there was to start to put a workshop.
And we had bought with the help of family members...
...and we had already bought the island with the house.
It was a bit quite complicated.
At the beginning it was very hard because it cost a lot.
Nogical.
We just got married, then the boys started.
And, well, to get up the workshop and raise a family at the same time, right?
To go and live in the city.
Did that happen to you?
Yes.
Three years ago it was more or less the time that came at night...
...no, 193.
When that marriage came...
Yes, that marriage continued.
There was a big flood, another one came, another one came...
...and it really had not bothered us because...
...at that time the electricity had also arrived.
And, well, it was a lot of sacrifice.
Each marriage destroyed something.
Markets that one had at that time used the electrical group.
It was, for example, he had covered the engine, changed the oil...
It was good to recondition everything.
The marriage destroyed.
Destroyed.
Destroyed.
It destroyed the loss.
Do you know why it destroyed?
Because everything was low.
No, no, no.
Because there were...
There were intense.
Intense.
And what happened?
And at one point we planned it.
But why?
Because they thought it was going to be like this always...
No, because we would have been animated, really.
We were animated a little by the fact that...
It was too much sacrifice and in that moment...
It was not the conversation.
Of course.
Well, we decided to...
But...
To tolerate a little more.
Then we said no.
We were going to wait, we were going to have faith.
Let's see what happens.
And we are going to continue.
You know, it's a little...
...one that, as they say, it's hard to start a big plant...
...and know that that plant is going to sprout on the other side...
...if it goes, things...
The river was very big, but...
...the river was the same.
Actually, many people...
...who know me for work like that...
...don't even know my nickname.
They say it's the standby.
They call it the standby.
And then...
...to see the standby...
...and the thing is...
Oh, Raúl, the standby.
The nickname.
Yes, yes.
The standby and the thing is...
And on the other hand, it doesn't bother me...
...because that's how you see it.
Let's go, let's go.
I don't know what the name of the park is...
And the neighbor?
The neighbor that when he hears a boat...
...he knows the engine, the engine knows the boat...
...more or less they know the schedules...
...the school that always happens at the same time...
...and that more than one wants to see everything.
That's Clara's sister, right?
Hey, that's my sister.
That day I was with Gripe...
...or Cresciente.
That day it was a shame that she didn't see.
Do you remember Cresciente that day?
Yes.
What year is that photo?
Well, this photo...
...I think I was 10 years old.
And my father was from Caseros...
...and then, buying the mountains and working with the wood...
...little by little Cresciente bought all this.
This was also from his father.
Here, to the limit with the standby.
And then he took the whole front...
...and with that he could pay the bank...
...all the island.
Because in reality, for what I wanted the island...
...was to work it.
He planted alamos, he used alamos...
...and he had a serrador.
Then he worked fruit trees...
...he worked the ends, he had some quince...
...he also had vegetables, he had all the chicken...
...whether it was the bread or at home, everything.
And the truth is that it was very beautiful.
Because it was another life.
And these were the trees that existed.
When we saw this chain, we were eating everything...
...we had to cut it all.
We played the ball, we were going to dance...
...but...
Where to dance?
In the Delta Club and in Santa Rosa Club...
...that existed in Sociedad Alfomento.
So we had a good time.
The truth is that I had nothing to envy someone...
...who lived in the capital.
No, stop there.
Besides, there was a week that we didn't go to the cinema...
...if we didn't go to the center...
...we didn't spend a week.
That's how it was like, then we had to go back...
...maybe with my brother, even Fernando...
...we were coming back with a club boat...
...and there was a boat.
The boat at night is more than once a boat boat.
There was a place to go crazy.
Yes, but it wasn't as dangerous as it is now.
There was nothing.
Why?
Because it was very quiet up there.
There were no boats I saw now.
Apart from carrying a balloon...
...and carrying an internal one, nothing else.
It was enough.
On the other hand...
No, I don't know...
...now it's a terrorist attack.
It's sad to know a little bit how people are...
...with big boats breaking things.
Yes, apart from...
...even contaminating the river, too.
It's not boats that go on a roll.
That's why it's not taught them perfection or anything...
...when they take out a boat to handle a boat...
...that in a roll you can't go so fast.
Because this is not a roll, it's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
It's a roll.
