Why did they decide to go there, maybe in my mind probably just for one month or two or a season or two and then decide to move away and go back on the mainland, I don’t know, but they stayed there too much longer, and it is a strange decision, but our ancestors, and we have to respect that, they have always taken the best decision based on what they had in mind.

Fade Out: End credits.
