Short filmTranscript
00:00When I started my studies, it was unthinkable that a woman would do medicine.
00:11Today we know that even little idiots can learn.
00:15Good morning, ma'am. Maria Montessori.
00:19It's for the child.
00:20You take children like that?
00:23Are you taking care of it?
00:25No, it's a pedagogical institute here, not an orphanage.
00:28Come on! Idiots stay idiots, they don't heal.
00:30Good!
00:31Do you want to take it there, then?
00:32No, no, no.
00:34It's an education full of love,
00:36the one that allowed us today to bring these children here,
00:40to the preparatory course exam.
00:43My name is Tina.
00:47It was a great success, Maria.
00:49But how much is a success if the price to pay is this?
00:52I want to be with my son.
00:54You know it's not possible to lose my reputation.
00:57You're a man, Mr. Margeret.
01:00Did I invent a method?
01:02No.
01:03Yes? Tell us a story.
01:06I'm going to revolutionize the school.
01:08You're exaggerating a bit, Maria.
01:10Follow the color well.
01:12I have the intuition that the methods developed at the institute
01:15are oriented specifically towards the education of idiots.
01:18Blue.
01:23I can't continue to be crushed by your selfishness and your ambition.
01:28This is my cross.
01:31To go to war
01:34to conquer the rights of the child.
