Invisible Lives: Meet Canada’s Undocumented Kids

Without legal status, these young people must live in the shadows

“Kids deal with the decisions other people made,” she says. Those kids spend most of their childhoods in Canada, where they do their schooling, form relationships, and build career aspirations, like everybody else. “It’s just this piece of paper thing—that is the difference,” says Pole. This “piece of paper thing” shuts folks out of ­colleges, universities, and trade schools: those who are not citizens or permanent residents generally require a study permit and must pay international fees to attend post-secondary institutions, and provincial aid often isn’t an option. It’s also a ­barrier to more basic rights, like access to health care and ­secure housing.

Dreamer D (R14)

Na samym wstępie Dirk mi zwariował. Czemu? Nikt nie wie. Nie umarła mu żadna bliska rodzina ani nie miał niskiego wskaźnika aspiracji. Magia 🤷‍♀️

At the very beginning, Dirk made me crazy. Why? Nobody knows. Nobody close to him died nor did he have a low aspiration bar. Magic 🤷‍♀️

Indigo May Have Lost the Plot

Did the bookstore chain sell its soul when it started selling vitamins, vibrators, and $800 patio umbrellas?

In an era of book bans, the death of big independent analogues like Toronto’s World’s Biggest Bookstore, and the shuttering of independent bookstores, Indigo is needed. While figures on Indigo’s market share aren’t publicly available, a 2022 survey found that independent bookstores account for only about 13 percent of Canadian book-buyer purchases. Indigo remains Canada’s leading bookseller, and, without it, Canadian publishers would lose a massive buyer, as made stark by the scale of Indigo’s losses in the wake of the cybersecurity incident. What few need—as the decline of non-discount department stores reflects—is a bookstore that sells, among many other things, five-foot artificial willow trees.

Sleeping Beauty Spring: "Märchenperlen – Dornröschen" ("Fairy Tale Pearls – Briar Rose") (2008 German TV film)

Märchenperlen ("Fairy Tale Pearls") is a series of fairy tale films produced by the German TV network ZDF, which airs one or two new installments every Christmas season. Having already seen the series' excellent adaptations of Cinderella and Snow White, I looked forward to seeing its version of Sleeping Beauty. This film starts out as a faithful retelling of the Grimms' Briar Rose, with some inspiration drawn from the 1971 German film too. But the princess falls asleep just a quarter of the way through, and from there on, it becomes quite an inventive retelling... in more than one sense of the word.

In an 18th century kingdom, King Arthur (Dirk Bach) and Queen Ute (ChrisTine Urspruch) long in vain for a child, until Queen Ute sheds a tear into a well, out of which pops a talking frog (in slightly jarring CGI) that foretells the birth of Princess Rosalinde. When the princess is born, twelve wise women are invited to her christening, but since the king has only twelve golden plates, the thirteenth wise woman, Zeta, goes uninvited. (Yes, this version follows the Grimms in calling them "wise women" instead of "fairies," although Zeta is referred to as "a wicked fairy" later.) These wise women are stately, ethereal, middle-aged and elderly figures in black robes and silver-gray veils, who sing an ethereal, Enya-like song before they bestow their gifts. When Zeta (Nicole Spiekermann) arrives unexpectedly, she sets the Lord Chamberlain's beard on fire and turns the guards' spears to snakes, and then curses the princess to prick her finger and die on her fifteenth birthday. Of course the twelfth wise women, Svenia (Dorothea Parton), alters the curse to a hundred-year sleep. Nonetheless, despite the distraught pleas of the kingdom's peasant women, King Arthur has every spinning wheel burned.

Fifteen years later (the passage of time conveyed by a minstrel's song), Rosalinde, nicknamed Rosa (Anna Hausburg) has grown to be a free-spirited, tomboyish beauty. She frolics in nature and plays at sword-fighting with peasant boys, and loves science as well, idolizing Leonardo da Vinci and aspiring to be an inventor herself. But her progressive spirit can't save her from her fate, as on her birthday morning, when her parents are out buying her a horse as a gift, she hears a mysterious voice singing from inside a tower. It is, of course, an ethereal wise woman's song, and when Rosa ventures into the tower, she finds a disguised Zeta with a spinning wheel. When Rosa falls asleep (not on the usual bed, or even in her spinning chair – this poor princess has to spend a hundred years lying on a pile of straw on the floor), the rest of the castle instantly falls asleep with her, and briars quickly grow all around.

A hundred years later, in the early 19th century, we meet our new protagonist: Prince Frederik (Moritz Schulze). This prince is an aspiring scientist and inventor, constantly studying with his mentor Professor Prätorius (Franz-Joseph Dieken), to the dismay of his mother Queen Margarete (Bettina Kupfer), who would rather see him find a bride. He doesn't believe in fairy tales like the popular story of "Briar Rose" either. But as it happens, his greatest invention so far is the photograph, and he attaches his tiny clockwork camera to the bodies of pigeons so they can bring back pictures from far and wide. To his surprise, he finds that his latest areal photo set includes pictures of the sleeping court inside the briar-covered castle, and of the sleeping Rosa, whose beauty captivates him.

At first Frederik tries to battle the briars with a sword, but the seemingly sentient briars entwine him like snakes and he barely escapes with his life. Undeterred, he performs a series of clever, funny experiments back at home, testing different methods of avoiding the briars, all in vain. But eventually, he devises an elaborate, daring new invention: the hot air balloon. After long construction, Frederik and Professor Prätorius experience the wonder of flight. But when they reach the castle, the magic briars ensnare the balloon's rope, their escape throws them off course, and a storm forces them to land in the nearby forest. Ultimately, fairy tale magic and courage succeeds where science fails: the next day, Frederik once again charges at the briars with a sword, and when he does so, a hundred years having gone by to the day, the briars vanish. The wise women's otherworldly song then leads Frederik to Rosa, whom he wakes with a kiss on her forehead. Her parents and the rest of the court awaken too, Frederik and Rosa's love blossoms as they discover their shared passion for science, and all ends happily.

Overall, this is a fresh and enjoyable Sleeping Beauty: mostly lighthearted in tone, without the emotional depth of some other versions, but engaging all the same. While the addition of science and invention into a classic fairy tale might seem awkward, it works surprisingly well, adding liveliness and creativity yet never outbalancing the magical elements. The film's aesthetics are appropriately charming, colorful, and fairy tale-ish too (though the special effects can be corny at times) and the cast is strong.

This is definitely a Sleeping Beauty I would recommend.

DAY 4

HAMBURG

It’s been 45 years since John and I visited Hamburg. We were just 17 and 18 in 1977 when we left Lima OH via Amtrak as just friends for a 2 month adventure in Europe. We arrived home as “good friends and more.” The rest is history ❤️

John also was in a CISV Interchange with Hamburg. He and his partner were part of the 1974-75 program. So in 1977, John visited Dirk then traveled to Italy for the CISV International Meeting while I stayed with Nicole then attended a CISV seminar camp in Hamburg.

Today we walked around Outer Alster Lake. Gorgeous day with gorgeous views!!

Later we toured the Banksy Exhibit. What an interesting guy!

Listened to the 2-CD anthology “Music for Film” (2021) of the French composer Gabriel Yared published by the Film Fest Ghent.

The Brussels Philharmonic is conducted by the Belgian film composer Dirk Brossé.

I started following his work in 1986 when I heard the soundtrack for the French movie “37,2 le Matin” (a.k.a. “Betty Blue”).

The Parisian of Lebanese descent hasn’t stopped since. You’ve seen movies he scored: “The English Patient” (won him an Oscar), “Cold Mountain” (with Nicole Kidman), “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (with Matt Damon and Jude Law).
