This is so very calming and beautiful! Nowadays children wouldn’t easily have this type of experience, they grow up with technology and live THROUGH their phones instead. We text our friends to catch up instead of connecting in person. We share our lives on social media and portray and fake perfect looking life instead of going out and making friends. Everything’s different now. I envy our previous generation
I can understand Standard German and a bit of Dutch, so I could pick up on a few words. I may be wrong, but I believe I heard at 3:17 "Wohnst Sie in Marksco?" "No ek komm van Kanora" I think I also heard Grosmama (Grandmother) Ek Wot Nich (I don't know, Ich weiß es nicht, ik weet nie Wo wohnst ji? Even though I couldn't really understand this video, it was still interesting to watch. It is nice to see that the Mennonites appreciate and maintain their culture, especially their language.
You're almost right. 3:17 is: " Do you live in Mexico?" No, I come from Canada". Actually, the culture here in Mexico is very diverse nowadays. Kids are Speaking Plautdietsch at home, but they learn to read and write Spanish, English and German in school. For me, I don't really write plautdietsch because I never learned how to. Thanks for watching.
Eck wun krak in daut Dorp wua de Isaak wunt en dua bi den Presa wua de beid opp den Video sen, dua sen eck en mine 3 Poatna uk aul feaken gewas. Eck haud never gedoch daut son Video wued im CZcams nen kum. De Städen luten mi aula bekont.😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is a great short film. Thank you for sharing! Is there any chance you could share the script? It would help those of us who are trying to learn the language. Or even an English translation of the script, since writing Plautdietsch is a very new thing. Again, thank you very much for this and your other videos!
Blake Hamm I can look into adding subtitles via youtube.. As for the script, there's not much dialogue. The video, or the story, was made in such away that one could more-less visually understand it. For now I'll just give you the translation here. Cheers! #1 Hi. Can you not hear me? Hi Ahh! Are you okay? What did you say? Can you not speak English? No. My name is Jennifer. I'm Isaak. Come, sit down here. #2 Do you live here in Mexico? No. I come from Canada. What are you doing here? I'm visiting my Grandma. How long will you be here yet? I don't know. Do you like to draw? Yep.You come here often? Yes... Do you catch fish here? Sometimes. Where do you live? Over there, by the village. Wow. This looks really beautiful here. mmmm... yeah. #3 I still got nothing. Still not anything? It's stuck! Hello! Yeah, I'll be right there. Bye. -I have to go home now. Will you be here tomorrow? Yep! See ya tomorrow! Bye. #4 Hey, Isaak! Where were you? My grandma died. Oh. Here's your book. Thank you. Why are you all wet? My fishing pole fell into the water. Oh. Will you be here tomorrow? No. We're leaving for Canada tomorrow? Okay. Bye Bye.
WilFriesen Thanks! I did understand most of it, as you say, the film gives context which is great. Well done. Now I can work at getting down the Plautdietsch words. Thanks again
Intresauntet Filmkje, een bät langsom oba väl schmocke Natua. Een poa Bemoakjungen: Een kjliena Jung met een T-shirt un Schlaubbekjsen un dan noch onen Metz ooda Hoot, daut sitt sea butajeweenlich. Daut Mejalkje es gaunz kloa nich Plautdietsch oppjetrocken. Ekj denkj see frajcht: "Komst du hia foaken?" enne Städ "kjemst du..." See sajcht: "Morjen veloten wie no Kanada". Daut es een Gramatikjfäla: aule Verben ver "wie" un "jie" velieren de -en Silb. Oba een Plautdietscha wudd väl ea sajen: "Morjen foa wie no Kanada".
I don't write Plaudietsch well so I will just respond in English. Thanks for your comment. Also, you think you may have noticed some mistakes, but everything you mentioned was done on purpose. Many boys nowadays wear overalls with a t-shirt and without a hat or cap. Also, visually, it looked better for the boy to not wear a hat. As for the girl's character, her broken Plautdietsch was also done on purpose because her back story is that she grew up in Canada, and so she would have only learning a bit of Plautdietsch at home. I thought that the dialogue explained everything well enough.
I have some cousins that live there... Most Mennonites in Bolivia are still very conservative and live a very strict life. Most men are more outgoing and willing to talk to strangers, but the woman are quit shy overall and only speak one language.
I am from Germany and understand the "plautdietsch" from the mennonites ;-) It is very intersting to see people live traditional in comparison to the modern west society. I want to visit Santa Rita south from Santa Cruz.
ha ha. I like your honesty...and if you say that this video is "boring", you might be right, but only because you can't fully understand the language, or you don't understand the culture, or you don't realize what the kids are actually experiencing and discovering about life, as they are growing up. One thing I've learned in music and video... don't try to create something that everyone will like, because you can't. I WOULD like to know WHY you think it's "boring".
Beautiful movie. I was so struck at how similar the language, landscapes and culture are to rural Afrikaners here in South Africa!
Interesting. Thanks for the comment.

I've thought about a sequel, but financially I can't make it. My movie Pancho was somewhat of a sequel/extension of that idea.
Yes wonderful short love movie. Thanks for share it here in youtube.

Love this video ^^ In may this year I am in Santa Cruz in Bolivia. It is possible to visit the mennonites or are they shy ??
I have some cousins that live there... Most Mennonites in Bolivia are still very conservative and live a very strict life. Most men are more outgoing and willing to talk to strangers, but the woman are quit shy overall and only speak one language.

Boring!
ha ha. I like your honesty...and if you say that this video is "boring", you might be right, but only because you can't fully understand the language, or you don't understand the culture, or you don't realize what the kids are actually experiencing and discovering about life, as they are growing up.
One thing I've learned in music and video... don't try to create something that everyone will like, because you can't.
I WOULD like to know WHY you think it's "boring".
Nicely done
Thanks.
