02:28.5
02:35.7
-Valentina!! Nice to meet you! -Nice to meet you too!
02:37.2
02:40.2
- How did you meet with him?
02:40.3
02:41.2
-Because of Tinder
02:43.6
02:44.7
-Because of Tinder?!
02:44.8
02:51.2
-It was like the second day I had Tinder and I found Ricardo, I liked his profile, and then realise he already had a like on mine
02:51.5
02:53.0
-And what did u like about him? his pictures? -Yes, his pictures. Because he had long hair
03:01.5
03:09.7
-And how was the fist time you guys met? -OMG it was magic, I saw him and i fell in love. -Just like that? -Yes
03:09.8
03:14.6
-I never believed about love at first sight but when I saw him I fell in love immediately
03:14.7
03:24.4
- What did you fell in love with him? - His eyes, first his eyes, his cute face and smile -That killed you. -Yes, it killed me.
03:24.5
03:29.3
-He said me "hello" and smiled to me
03:29.4
03:39.3
(Valentina and Ricardo were without knowing neightboors, they lived 5 minutes from each other. They were a young couple, happy and in love...
03:39.4
03:54.6
..They enjoyed to take long walks, long conversations and listening to songs played by guitar...
03:54.7
04:04.5
But all this started to dissapear when Ricardo started to feel weird pain in his body that he never felt before).
04:04.6
04:14.0
-When he started to get sick we had just 6 months of relation. He started to get sick and anyone knew what was wrong, they could not get the diagnosis...
04:14.1
04:18.9
And then after 6 months, the doctors said he had a tumour.
04:19.0
04:26.8
It is a very aggressive tumour that usually appears in the brain and there is easier to trate, but he has it in the spinal cord
04:26.9
04:35.8
And cases like his there is like 160 all around the world, so there is not cure. The chemotherapy does not work, the radiotherapy does not work
04:36.1
04:38.4
-Just 160 cases in the world?
04:38.5
04:45.5
-Yes, even all the information we found its all in english
04:45.6
04:50.6
-And what do the doctors say? -The doctors say he is going to die.
05:02.0
05:11.6
- Did the doctor give you any limit of time? -Yes, he said me that Ricardo will de before July of this year.
05:13.2
05:16.5
-Does Ricardo live with you? -Yes
05:16.6
05:19.5
-Why with you? Where s his family?
05:21.2
05:23.9
-Mmmh, long time ago Ricardo lives with me...
05:24.0
05:28.8
-But he had a terminal sickness, his family is supposed to be with him
05:29.4
05:36.6
- I think the same, but... in this case is not like that
05:37.7
05:53.6
(Sadly, Ricardo:s family, of 23 years, does not visit him. His mother writes him infrequently and his father abandoned him when he was a child...
05:53.7
05:58.9
today, all the economical support is payed by Valentinas parents)
05:59.0
06:06.9
-With just 6 months of relationship, or you stay with him or leave him because you are not able to handle all this... -Yes...
06:07.0
06:09.2
-And you stayed. -I stayed
06:09.3
06:14.4
-Your strenght is amazing, is very inspiring to meet you...
06:14.5
06:21.4
... Is very inspiring to speak with you. You left everything, for love.
06:22.2
06:36.5
-Look, we are here because we want you to marry. We want to support you and be with you all this time. You called us and here we are.
06:51.4
06:56.2
-When reality breaks fiction...
06:56.3
07:05.9
We think this kind of stories just appear in the novels or movies, but no... this is real life and here am I beside the hero
07:06.0
07:10.8
- I had to live it, and now I just have to face it...
07:10.9
07:19.0
-Can we go to meet Ricardo? -Yes -The man that wants to marry -Yes... -Lets go then...
07:20.0
07:25.8
(Finally we will meet Ricardo, Valentinas boyfriend...
07:25.9
07:32.9
(that sadly has a cancer at 23 years old. She warns us that Ricardo does not look like in the pictures that she sent us...
07:33.0
07:42.1
(...According to Valentina because of a bad treatment with corticosteroids Ricardos body changed drastically...)
07:42.2
07:47.0
Today he is bedridden. He lost all kind of mobility)
07:47.1
07:57.5
-Sir! how are you? -Good and you?
07:57.6
07:59.4
-Do you want to marry?
07:59.5
08:01.6
-Of course, since always
08:01.7
08:11.6
-At the same moment you were happy and in love the doctors said you have cancer. What happens to you when they said that you are sick?
08:11.7
08:16.5
-I was in shock, cuz you do not really think that it can happen to you.
08:19.3
08:23.0
- Did you already marry in the civil way? -Yes
08:23.1
08:32.8
(When Ricardos cancer started to grow uncntrollably, they decided to civil-marry to solidify their love. But all the dates were...
08:32.9
08:42.0
(... already occupated. So they decided to sign up a AUC -gay marriage- because they did not know how much time did they have)
08:42.1
08:45.6
-Why is it so important for you to marry in the church?
08:45.7
08:49.1
-Because is something beautiful...
08:49.2
08:56.9
-I have always wanted to see me like that, with a suit, or to see her with her bride dress
08:57.0
08:59.4
- Is it a dream for you? -Yes.
09:00.2
09:03.6
-It would have been nice walking but... -laughts-
09:03.7
09:07.6
-What happens with your body right now? -I can not move it
09:07.7
09:12.5
-The legs, the hands... -I can move a bit the fingers
09:13.2
09:17.6
-If I touch you it doesnt hurt you, right? -No
09:17.7
09:19.8
-Do you have sensivity or did you lose it? -No, I lost it
09:19.9
09:24.7
-What are the things that you miss the most of your past life with Valentina?
09:26.2
09:34.4
-Damn... I think to walk. We used to walk a lot
09:44.3
09:49.1
-Or to play her guitar
09:49.6
09:51.2
-To sing to her
10:11.2
10:15.8
-And you, what do you miss the most of the old Ricardo?
10:18.3
10:24.6
-Something as simple as hug him... just that.
10:26.5
10:31.1
-To hug him and that he hugs me back
10:50.8
10:55.6
-Something as simple as that. -yes
11:09.7
11:18.9
-And its just a hug, I mean, I have him everyday here and I can not hug him because it hurts him or because he can not hug me back
11:20.6
11:30.0
-Obviously I try to show my love the best way possible, careesing him, touching his hand...but yes.
11:31.0
11:33.5
-Does your body hurt?
11:37.4
11:44.3
-She tries to hug me, but I have to say "I can not" I can not because it hurts me
11:49.3
11:58.6
-I can not even caress her, with my hands. I always have to ask her for it
12:13.7
12:17.7
-I get angry, angry and sad
12:17.8
12:29.9
-How many couples are checking us right now, couples that are healthy and that dont show love to each other...
12:30.0
12:34.8
and that maybe are upsett... look how are they loosing the time
12:38.9
12:47.3
-Hug the people you love, say to them you love them. Enjoy a hug. Because you never know when you can lose them.
12:49.2
12:52.2
-But here you are, with him 24/7
12:53.2
12:59.0
-And you guys are giving us a big love story and lection of life, and thats the important...
12:59.1
13:08.1
and if you called us is because you want to marry, and if you tell us that you want
13:08.2
13:12.0
to wear a suit and see her with a bride dress, we are going to support you all this time
13:12.1
13:13.0
-That is all i want
13:18.6
13:20.7
-And when do you want to marry?
13:20.8
13:23.0
-Uf, as soon as possible
13:24.9
13:33.3
-Because I do not know how long I will stay here...
13:33.4
13:36.6
..It would be a honor to marry her...
13:39.2
13:41.5
Just if she wants, if no
13:43.6
13:49.7
-Even thought all this situation you are living, I always see you with a smile in the face
13:51.4
13:54.6
-Ah, yes, always... We have to smile to the life
13:55.2
13:57.4
-We are still alive
13:57.5
14:03.7
-Yes. I always say the same, "It can always get worse"
14:05.4
14:06.2
-You are right.
14:06.3
14:08.4
-So we have to appreciate what we have...
14:08.5
14:10.0
today I can speak
14:10.1
14:13.0
maybe tomorrow I will not.
14:13.1
14:16.4
So I have to enjoy all what I can
14:18.1
14:20.2
with her...
14:24.0
14:30.9
(This story impact me very much, I can not understand how his family does not care about him...
14:31.0
14:38.2
(If it wasnt for Valentinas parents, the future of Ricardo would be even worse)
14:41.5
14:47.2
Theres two people I want to meet in this story; they are Luis and Teresa. They are Valentinas parents
14:47.3
14:53.4
and they destinated a lot of their time to take care of Ricardo
14:53.5
14:56.7
They work in this shop
15:00.0
15:02.7
-Hello, Panchito -How are you?
15:04.4
15:08.4
-Is very hard what is happening to a couple of 22 and 23 years
15:08.5
15:12.2
- It has being very difficult. We have seen all the process and it has being terrible, very terrible
15:13.9
15:18.3
-To see his deterioration has being horrible, because from one day to another he couldnt walk anymore
15:18.4
15:19.9
-He barely speaks
15:21.5
15:23.5
-What happens to your body today?
15:23.6
15:28.4
-I can not move it, I can move a bit the fingers
15:28.5
15:30.1
-You work from monday to Saturday?
15:30.2
15:33.9
-From monday to Saturday. We have one day free in the week
15:34.0
15:41.8
The free day we use it to take Ricardo to the hospital, to be with out daughter... thats our free day.
15:41.9
15:47.8
(Since Ricardo developed the terminal cancer the parents of Valentina received him at their home...
15:47.9
15:52.7
(and they took care of him, not just economically, they gave him their time
15:52.8
16:00.2
more than 2 years ago they dont have vacations because all their attention is on the love of her daughter)
16:00.3
16:19.6
-What do you feel as parents, when you see that your daughter is fighting for her love and that doesnt run away as a lot of people do when their parthner are sick?
16:19.7
16:24.9
-We think that we have to support her. We as a couple have to support her...
16:25.0
16:29.8
and if she chose Ricardo as a partner we can not turn the back to her
16:29.9
16:35.1
-To me my dauhter is a brave, and to me Ricardo is a brave
16:43.6
16:44.3
-Is he like a son to you?
16:49.2
16:54.2
-The love that I have for Ricardo is so big that one day I said to him:
16:54.3
17:00.7
"Rica if I could, I would give my life...If God would say I change your life instead of Ricardos
17:00.8
17:04.8
I promisse you I would give it
17:04.9
17:08.6
not just for him, but for my daughter.
17:13.1
17:17.6
-Can you tell me why the hell Ricardos parents do not visit him?
17:18.8
17:25.0
-Look, I know that divine justice exist, and that everything bad we do,it come back
17:25.1
17:29.9
I do not wish her any bad,beause I dont wish bad to anyone
17:30.0
17:35.5
bur I know that she will regret. You know why? cuz we have lived beautiful moments with Ricardo
17:36.6
17:40.7
I have videos of him singing karaoke, having great moments
17:42.0
17:45.6
(video of Ricardo before the sickness)
17:52.5
17:55.9
-Dancing cueca (chilean dance)And she dont.
18:07.0
18:14.5
-So if all this end up in a bad way, if we end up without Ricardo, I will have all that good memories
18:21.1
18:29.6
-I can not believe that his mother, the woman that gave him the life, is not with him in his lasts days!
18:30.9
18:36.0
-And its not just the parents, its all the family
18:36.1
18:38.8
noone calls him, he has a lot of uncles, a lot of cousins
18:38.9
18:42.0
and noone, noone calls him.
18:42.5
18:45.8
Once I heard a conversation of Ricardo and his mother and he asked her:
18:45.9
18:55.0
"mom I can not understand that you have a son with few months of life left and you dont call me or visit me"
18:55.5
18:57.4
I promisse you that broke my heart
19:05.7
19:09.1
-Madam, please, dont cry. Dont cry
19:09.2
19:13.3
I want to promise you something, with all my heart
19:13.4
19:15.6
Dont distress you for that kind of things
19:16.3
19:21.1
(It really hurts me to see the sadness in Valentinas mother, but this story is just starting...
19:21.2
19:25.9
(in few minutes Ill have a strong confrontation with Ricardos mother)
19:26.2
19:31.2
-I am here because I want to convince you that HE NEEDS YOU.
19:31.8
19:32.5
-My son wasnt like this before
19:32.6
19:37.8
-I am the guilty in everything, the only thing I do for Ricardo is to almost kill myself for him.
19:37.9
19:42.5
-The reasons that you can have are not enought to dont go to visit a son that is dying.
19:45.0
19:51.4
-The only thing I say is to the people that are in ths situation right now, please dont live your sons
19:52.0
19:54.3
Always support your sons, always.
19:59.3
20:05.1
(The cancer that Ricardo has is ubicated in his cervical zone, specifically in his spinal cord
20:05.2
20:12.9
upp in the neck, this is one of the cancers that does not have a cure
20:13.0
20:22.6
Everything happened really fast, and at his 23 years turned from a energic student and musician boy
20:22.7
20:25.8
to a bedridden person
20:25.9
20:31.9
Right now he has a terminal cancer and his doctors didnt give him more than 3 months of life
20:32.0
20:36.8
even knowning this, this young man fights everyday for his life.
20:36.9
20:39.7
Though he does it with a strong pain in his heart.
20:39.8
20:44.6
His family is not there with him since he got the disease.
20:47.4
20:49.4
-How was your night? how did you feel?
20:49.5
20:54.3
-This night was good, I have has bad days too
20:54.9
20:59.1
-What is your point of view about your sickness?
21:00.5
21:01.9
-That I am going to die.
21:02.7
21:05.2
that practically I am at the last moments
21:10.2
21:12.4
-You can not move from the bed?
21:12.5
21:16.3
-No, I mean, with help I can sit.
21:17.1
21:18.0
-But you can sit. Does it hurt?
21:20.2
21:23.5
-It hurst, Where does it hurts? in the neck?
21:23.6
21:24.8
-In the neck, back.
21:26.9
21:31.9
-In fact I can not keep my head straight.
21:34.3
21:36.3
-Is it painful to not count with the support of your parents?
21:36.4
21:41.3
-I ask myself and I say: What happen to them?
21:45.1
21:47.7
-Why do they do this
21:49.9
21:52.8
-I prefer to dont think about it
21:54.5
22:01.2
And its sad anyway cuz they are my parents... I wait a better support from their side
22:02.2
22:04.9
-But do they call you? Does she come here? or no?
22:06.8
22:11.0
-She calls me once... in the month
22:12.2
22:13.8
-She calls you once in the month??
22:16.2
22:22.1
-Would you like her to be here by your side? Do you need her hug? Do you need her everyday?
22:24.8
22:26.8
-I miss her
22:29.6
22:32.8
-What would you like I do for you? please just tell me.
22:32.9
22:35.8
-OH yes! to go out from here.
22:37.5
22:40.6
-Even if its a short walk
22:41.9
22:43.6
-To go out with her
22:45.7
22:53.3
(Before the cancer, Ricardo and Valentina loved to walk outside, today their reality is very different
22:53.4
22:58.5
because of his deterioration, it has being 3 months ago Ricardo doesnt go outside
22:58.6
23:05.0
they had to move the bed from the second floor to the middle room,that is in the first floor.
23:05.1
23:14.2
months ago Ricardo just dream with going outside...Even it its just to the park of the corner
23:14.3
23:18.7
we will see how will we do it to make this dream true)
23:20.4
23:24.3
-Today is a special day because Ricardo will return to the Teleton because of his therapy
23:24.4
23:30.4
the problem is that his physical state is worse than the last time we saw him
23:31.3
23:33.8
-Lets see what does Valentina say...
23:33.9
23:37.6
-Darling, how are you? -Good and you?
23:39.3
23:40.4
-How is Ricardo?
23:41.3
23:50.6
-Soso, tired. He feels a bit bad, he is tired, but its normal.
23:51.4
24:03.2
-We came for you today because you asked us to help you with the therapy in Teleton
24:03.3
24:06.8
-when you brought him there it was easier because he had a better condition
24:06.9
24:16.0
-Look, we brought this car, we are ready to help you but...
24:16.1
24:21.8
we feel like its a bit irresponsible to bring you a car without a medical supervision.
24:24.1
24:30.4
-The next thing we will do is to bring a doctor to your home, we will bring several specialists to check how is Ricardo
24:31.2
24:37.4
-Right now I do not know if he can use the wheelchar that we have because it doesnt hold his head.
24:38.7
24:40.9
- But he said me he couldnt not hold his head by his own
24:42.2
24:44.0
-Then if this chair is not backed up
24:45.2
24:46.5
That chair.. . do you have it here or not?
24:48.1
24:49.7
-Which one is it? Can we see it? -Yes
24:49.8
24:52.2
-This one is it
24:53.1
25:01.6
-But this is the classic wheelchair, this is not a wheechair that has a back where he can hold his head.
25:01.7
25:06.5
-No, he just needed this one and he got worse and worse suddenly... then..
25:07.8
25:13.8
-Ricardos deterioration is every time worse, few weeks ago he could hold his head by his own
25:13.9
25:21.2
but today that is not possible. Valentina, his unconditional girlfriend, starts to realise whats is coming...
25:21.4
25:28.9
with that physical limitations the dream of going to a church to marry is almost impossible...
25:31.2
25:34.1
-How will we take him to a church?
25:35.7
25:42.4
How will he try on his suit? of course we can bring the persons and the clothes to make his suit but...
25:42.5
25:47.3
have you think about it?
25:51.6
25:57.5
-Its a dream... and when we have a dream we just want to make it true
26:02.9
26:06.6
And I say to myself "damn, we have passed trought that many bad things that...
26:07.2
26:17.4
why not to make somethig we always wanted to, at least that the life give us the gift of
26:18.5
26:21.4
doing something for each other
26:23.2
26:27.0
-Of loving each other -Yes.
26:27.1
26:28.7
-Life owes you that gift
26:31.8
26:42.4
-Now, you will marry, you will wear a white dress and he will use a suit, if its nessesary we sew it to his body
26:46.0

26:49.1
26:51.1

26:54.1
26:57.2
-I always wanted to see me in a suit
26:57.3

Because the groom is not here, he is at home

28:55.0
-I am going to be there
28:57.0
28:58.2
... to her...
28:59.6
29:05.3
-Its a dream and a hope, because for me every happy moment that Ricardo lives its a hope.
29:09.7
29:13.4
-Are you going to help us to make her the most beautiful bride in this country?
29:13.5
29:16.8
-Of course, all that hope we will use it here, for the dress. -lets go
29:20.0
29:24.3
-What does it feel, as a mother, being here with your daughter?
29:24.8
29:30.1
-Mixed feelings, Im happy for her because I see her happy...
29:30.5
29:32.6
but I know what will happen and that really scares me....
29:33.4
29:38.1
because my daughter will end up destroyed.... destroyed
29:41.9
29:43.2
-No, please stay calm
29:43.3
29:44.8
-Its impossible
29:44.9
29:47.0
-No no no no
29:55.1
29:57.9
-I know Ricardo is her happinnes
29:58.0
30:02.8
And I would be enchanted to be able to do something to change this situation...
30:03.5
30:05.3
I promisse you I would give him my life
30:07.0
30:12.8
-I know that is very hard to you to deal with this
30:13.6
30:17.3
but you are Valentinas mother, you are the most important support to her
30:17.4
30:20.1
and in this moment the only thing we have to do is give her strength
30:22.3
30:25.3
I want to ask you, please, that she sees you strong
30:26.1
30:30.2
she has to see you strong, if there is tears they will be tears of happiness
30:33.6
30:36.2
-This moment is named "the bride in front of the mirror"
30:36.5
30:39.2
-I will lead you with eyes covered to the mirror, ok?
30:42.1
30:46.4
-Like thaat, stay there, stay there.... OK!
30:49.5
30:54.7
-What are you doing today is an act of love, of pure love, of good love.
30:55.3
30:57.9
that kind of love that we dont find too easy today
31:14.5
31:17.1
-You look pretty!!
31:21.8
31:25.3
-I told you she was brave, thats why her name is Valentina
31:25.4
31:28.2
-Ahaaa, look! Valentina because of brave!
31:28.3
31:32.3
-You know why? Because I was close to loose her when I was 3 months pregnant
31:32.4
31:37.6
but when she continued alive in my belly I knew it was for something important
31:37.7
31:40.2
I knew that she had to do something very important in this life
31:40.3
31:42.5
-It means you are a fighter since you were born
31:42.6
31:44.5
-Exactly! - I think so
31:47.1
31:49.1
-You signed up the AUC(gay marriage). -Yes.
31:49.2
32:00.1
And sadly, there is a problem, the church does not accept the AUC(gay marriage)as a valid document
32:02.1
32:04.7
-To make a religious marriage. -No.
32:06.4
32:09.4
-How did you feel when in the church they said to you "No"
32:09.5
32:14.3
-It was very shocking, because they told me they give an authorization
32:14.4
32:20.5
to some couples, but they didnt know if they would give me authorization just with the papper of the AUC(gaymarriage)
32:20.6
32:23.3
-And did you tell them about your situation?-Yes
32:23.4
32:26.3
-that your boyfriend has a terminal cancer.-Yes, I told them
32:26.4
32:30.3
-That he is going to die soon... even with that did they answer NO? - -Yes.
32:30.4
32:32.6
-Okay I wanna tell you something
32:32.7
32:50.2
we talked with the ecclesiastical court, we called them and they will meet tomorrow to decide if they give the authorization, so you can marry without having a civil marriage
32:53.7
33:03.0
-And now, I tell you. Whatever that happens, if they say no we will go on our knees to supplicate a date in the civil marriage so you can marry in teh church
33:03.1
33:11.0
But we will make it, so you now you have to have in mind that the next week you are going to marry
33:11.1
33:15.9
And if there is not a priest, I can dress as a priest
33:18.5
33:21.4
and I marry you, I promise you Im even able to cut my hair here up
33:29.6
33:36.4
(As Ricardo can not go out from the house and his dream is to marry with a groom suite, my friends of the casa blanca(store)
33:36.5
33:44.0
accepted tp bring him the different kind of suits to his home and like that he could choose the suit that he wants.)
33:44.5
33:49.0
-How is the man? -Soso, he did not have a good morning and
33:49.1
33:53.5
and now is a bit complicated...
33:54.0
33:56.5
-Why is he complicated? Does he have pain?
33:56.6
34:00.4
-Yes, pain and desires to puke
34:00.5
34:02.7
-Hello -How are you, dear friend?!
34:02.8
34:05.1
Did you cut your hair? -Yes
34:05.2
34:09.2
Its cool! You look very good!
34:10.5
34:15.9
-I am here because you told me you had a dream, the dream of marrying. -Yes
34:16.0
34:18.1
-To see your bride with a white bride dress
34:19.4
34:26.3
But you did also want to look like a groom. We talked to our friends od the "casa blanca"
34:26.4
34:30.3
and they came here to show you the suits.
34:30.4
34:33.9
-Which one is the one you like most to try it on. -That one
34:34.3
34:35.1
-That one -YES.
34:35.9
34:46.2
-I understand he wants to marry but we can not commite the irresponsability to move him to a church without a medical supervision
34:46.3
34:55.1
If he is not in the conditions. We talked to the teleton and they will come soon to evaluate Ricardos condition
34:55.2
35:01.7
and according to what they say we will continue with our plan of marrying them in the church
35:01.8
35:06.5
-And lady? Was everything alright with the measurements? Are we ready?
35:06.6
35:07.2
-We are ready
35:07.3
35:09.9
-Then with this suit you marry.
35:10.0
35:11.4
-Excellent!
35:14.1
35:16.4
-Whatever that happens, you have to marry.
35:17.0
35:21.6
-I will do it, I am going to be there
35:23.0
35:24.3
... to her...
35:43.4
35:44.9
Even if I cant be in body
35:45.0
35:46.8
I will be always there
35:52.6
35:57.3
I want everyone to know that I love you a lot
36:00.8
36:02.9
-Always there to her
36:09.4
36:11.0
-Im very excited for the wedding
36:11.8
36:14.4
-I can not tell you anything, you will see her that day
36:14.5
36:16.0
-Does she look pretty?
36:16.8
36:17.9
-She looks precious
36:21.5
36:23.0
-Are you happy?
36:25.1
36:26.8
-Really? -YES!
36:26.9
36:31.3
-When you see Valentina as a bride you will get happier, she looks pretty.
36:31.8
36:35.2
-OK! Lets go with all the power...-With all the power
36:39.2
36:46.6
(Valentina just want to give happiness to Ricardo and in few moments she will surprise him wit something he never imagined)
36:47.5
36:53.3
-In that green car sits the biggest idol of Ricardo...
36:54.1
36:56.5
-There is a friend here that wants to greet you...
37:01.1
37:09.0
(As Ricardo has everyday less body mobility, and we felt that it wasnt sure to use the basic wheel chair that he had
37:09.1
37:13.9
We talked to the Teleton, Ricardo was attended there some time ago
37:14.0
37:26.9
but his deterioration forced him to leave the treatment. We want that the doctors evaluate him and then we can know if he can marry in the church.
37:29.7
37:34.6
-Doctor, Im really thankful to having you here
37:34.7
37:48.5
-I think it was an excellent idea because we needed to evaluate, he had haven a fast development since the last time we saw him
37:48.6
37:54.9
We think is very important to take a magnetic resonance of the back and a radiography
37:55.0
38:01.3
because the neck is one part of the body that we move a lot and we need to know how steady is it.
38:01.4
38:06.0
Any abrupt movement can be a vital risk
38:09.4
38:22.1
-That magnetic resonance will be very important because it will show how can we take him to the church, how can we transfer him...
38:22.2
38:28.3
And here he have several ways, the most important right now is your health. We will take care of it.
38:33.5
38:44.1
(The wedding day is getting closer and Ricardos family havent even ask about it. We know that for the groom the love of his family its important, specially his moms.
38:44.2
38:47.7
but she is not here. Thought the anger and sorrow that Valentina feels,
38:47.9
38:55.0
she asked us to speak with her mother-in-law to make her visit her son.
38:55.1
39:02.6
To avoid any problem in the beggining of the conversation, I will speak with her first and Valentina will wait in our Van.
39:05.9
39:09.9
-Nice to meet you .-Nice to meet you too
39:10.0
39:16.3
-First I want to thank you because you accept to speak with me and becase you allowed that we recorded all this conversation
39:17.0
39:24.4
I met your son and Valentina.Because they called us to make their dream come true.
39:24.5
39:26.7
The dream of marrying
39:30.5
39:35.1
and he told me he misses you a lot,
39:39.6
39:41.8
that he wanted to hug you, give you a kiss
39:45.4
39:46.8
-And its sad because they are your parents
39:46.9
39:48.2
-Would you like her to be here?
39:48.9
39:50.9
do you need her hug?
39:51.0
39:53.6
-Yes, I miss her a lot
39:55.7
39:59.3
-Well, all the time I go I say to him that I love him and I kiss him
39:59.4
40:03.4
-But going to visit him once in a month or every two months doesnt work
40:04.7
40:10.9
-So that hurts me, cause they moved so far. I do not have time because of my job.
40:11.0
40:17.0
-She is saying that we live far but when we lived here in the corner she didnt visit him either
40:17.1
40:22.2
-But under the last 3 weeks his deterioration has grown
40:25.3
40:28.0
-She doesnt know, she doesnt call or visit him. How can she know...
40:28.4
40:31.3
-And everyday he is getting worse.
40:31.9
40:33.2
-I know, the doctor told me.
40:33.3
40:37.3
-Which doctor!!? she says the doctor told her, which doctor?!
40:37.4
40:41.4
-What are you doing that you dont visit your son?
40:41.5
40:45.1
-Because I dont feel comfortable in that house.
40:49.8
40:55.6
-She never said that she didnt like to go to our house.-She didnt tell you that?.-No
40:57.1
41:00.6
-But is that an excuse to dont go to visit a son that is going to die?
41:00.7
41:04.0
-No, its not an excuse. Because my duty is to be with him always.
41:04.1
41:06.4
-And why dont you do it? what happen?
41:06.5
41:09.3
-Everytime I go I end up really bad
41:10.4
41:12.4
-Because my son wasnt that sick before
41:16.8
41:19.9
-Do you think if your son was under your care he wouldnt be that sick?
41:20.0
41:23.8
-Maybe he would be bedridden, but not as big as he is.
41:23.9
41:29.0
-I have the fault in everything, the only thing I do for Ricardo is almost killling myself to take care of him
41:29.7
41:32.4
-But do you think that they didnt take care of him properly?..-Yes
41:36.2
41:47.1
-I talked to a lawyer and I asked him the posibility to take Ricardo with me
41:47.2
41:50.3
-She talked to a lawy...
41:51.7
41:55.4
-You know what happens?
41:57.3
42:03.1
-I feel like there is not time, to anything of that. And I ask you in the name of your son
42:03.8
42:05.5
-Why arent you there for him?
42:05.6
42:07.4
-I can not tell you
42:07.5
42:12.5
-Ms... I know that is not my bussiness but whats going on?
42:13.8
42:15.7
-Whats wrong?
42:21.8
42:23.6
-I can not understand if you dont tell me
42:23.7
42:27.5
-You wouldnt understand, even if I tell you
42:28.0
42:33.6
-I am here today because the only thing I want is to convince you that he needs you,
42:33.7
42:38.4
he wants you to be there in his weeding, he needs your hug
42:40.2
42:47.0
-I do not even know when or where it will be...because he invited me but he didnt say anything more than that...
42:47.1
42:51.8
-For the same reason I am not here alone, Im with Valentina so she can invite her to the weeding
42:57.1
42:58.1
-Whats wrong Vale?
42:58.2
42:59.7
-Nothing, that I am really rotten
42:59.8
43:02.9
-Why? tell me... what happened?
43:03.0
43:05.9
-That I feel rotten -Why, Vale?
43:06.0
43:14.8
-For all that I heard, I can not understand that she thinks that Ricardos disease is worse because he lives with us.
43:14.9
43:18.3
-I took him everywhere to try to trate his cancer -WHERE?- Everywhere
43:18.4
43:23.2
- We tried with alternativ medicine-THAT DIDNT WORK
43:23.3
43:25.8
- And the immunotherapy treatment? who found it?
43:25.9
43:26.6
-It didnt work neither
43:26.7
43:27.9
-And why do you say it doesnt work?
43:28.0
43:28.8
-Because the doctor told me
43:28.9
43:37.0
-But why do you have to believe in everything that the dctor say!! I will not leave Ricardo in hands of people that give up that easy
43:37.1
43:41.0
I do not give up cause I love him, and my parents love him...
43:41.1
43:44.9
And I dont know what is wrong with my house that you cant visit him
43:45.0
43:49.8
that are just excuses, and Ricardo doesnt deserve excuses in this moments.... he doesnt deserve them
43:53.0
43:56.8
-And why do you feel like is their fault that Ricardo is this sick?
43:56.9
44:06.9
-I said a lot of times that he needed medical treatment, with a kinesiologist. But they didnt bring him to anything like that... medical
44:07.6
44:15.0
-But he wanted to stop the treatment. Why should I force him? he is already an adult
44:15.4
44:17.1
-Because you are his girlfriend....
44:17.5
44:24.9
-No, Ricardo didnt go anymore to the treatment cause he felt bad. Everything has an explanation
44:25.0
44:29.6
and if you ask to me or to Ricardo,you would understand a lot of things.
44:29.7
44:34.2
-The answer will always be the same, Ricardo do as you say, it has being always like that.
44:36.2
44:45.5
-I need you to say if you will go to visit him... or to the weeding
44:45.6
44:47.3
-After this I do not know
44:47.4
44:49.0
-What is "this"?
44:51.1
45:03.5
-All this, I feel it as you want to make a show before to helping my son
45:07.7
45:14.7
-If you say me that this is a show I tell you that inside this "show" that you believe. Cause I tell you right now it is not
45:14.8
45:15.9
-I dont know
45:16.0
45:42.9
-We are helping him so he can have a better life,we made him a lot f exams so we can make his life good until the end of his days.
45:43.0
45:53.9
the reasons you have are not enought and excuses to dont visit a son that is, accrding to the doctors, in his last days.
45:56.7
46:01.8
-ok.Bye Ms Pilar. Lets go, Vale?
46:08.9
46:19.3
-In this moment I just can think about Ricardo and how his eyes shined, saying me that the only think he wants is to see his mother.
46:20.1
46:21.6
-I miss her
46:24.2
46:26.3
-But I can not force her.
46:26.4
46:30.4
I wish she could be here to hear all this
46:42.2
46:49.7
We arrived in Ricardos house because we have good news about the tratment he used to have to minimize his pain
46:51.1
46:55.6
but that sadly he couldnt continue because it was too expensive
46:58.1
47:03.1
There is a theme that I want to speak with you because you told me some time ago
47:03.2
47:07.2
That you started a expensive treatment
47:08.5
47:12.4
Schearching and searching I found the immunotherapy. It was the best option
47:12.5
47:16.6
in some countries the immunotherapy is the first therapy that people with caner receive.
47:16.7
47:23.5
they say it gives a better quality of life and in a extremly lucky case it can even make the tumour to dissapear.
47:23.6
47:24.5
-And that treatment is expensive?
47:24.6
47:26.4
-It costs 10,5 millions
47:26.5
47:30.8
-And you said me you payed 4 doses, where are the another 4?
47:30.9
47:40.5
-We can not get it if we dont pay the another debs. In general I owe 6,3 millions.
47:45.0
47:49.0
-How did you feel when you got the first half of the treatment, Ricardo?
47:51.5
47:52.7
-Did you get a bit better?
47:52.8
48:06.1
-Yes. I felt good. The treatement is suppossed to be continued, but 2 weeks ago I do not vaccinate.
48:07.9
48:14.2
-In this kind of situations is very... complicated, because
