Pas d'hésitation: la main qu'on ne lui a pas tendue à l'époque, elle va la tendre maintenant à ces fillettes et leur rendre leur enfance. Ce qu'elle ignore encore, c'est qu'il y en aura bientôt des milliers. Pour tous ces enfants, Christina va devenir «Mama Tina»...

He is disoriented and no longer able to distinguish between reality and delusions. Ngoc is their neighbour and the friend who stays by Nam's side to care for and accompany him while he gradually loses his mind. Everything gradually becomes apparent, and the explanation for Nam's nightmares is revealed.
