I'll shake you up! 01:20:19.295 --> 01:20:22.262 Come on, let's go! 01:20:24.295 --> 01:20:28.250 I'll get you this dress as a present. 01:20:28.295 --> 01:20:30.261 - For me? - Yes, for you. 01:20:30.295 --> 01:20:33.262 - How much is it? - Five bucks. 01:20:36.295 --> 01:20:40.250 You'll look much nicer in that dress. 01:20:45.295 --> 01:20:47.261 I'm beat. 01:21:13.228 --> 01:21:20.184 - No, don't do that. - Should we tear them up first? 01:21:20.228 --> 01:21:23.195 Give them to me. 01:21:24.228 --> 01:21:27.195 I'll do something with them later. 01:21:38.228 --> 01:21:42.183 Will we look for my dad tomorrow? 01:21:42.228 --> 01:21:47.184 Yes, there's a bus that leaves at lunchtime. Come, you can sleep here. 01:21:49.228 --> 01:21:52.126 - Good night, Josué. - Night, Dora. 01:21:53.161 --> 01:21:58.117 - Do you always go to bed like that? - You don't expect me to sleep naked? 01:21:58.161 --> 01:22:03.117 - Sleeping naked is much nicer. - Well, take off your clothes if... 01:22:03.161 --> 01:22:07.116 you like. I don't mind. What? Are you embarrassed? 01:22:07.161 --> 01:22:11.116 I bet you've never seen a woman naked. 01:22:11.161 --> 01:22:15.116 - I've seen loads. - Sure, your mother. 01:22:15.161 --> 01:22:19.116 Not true! I've seen other women. 01:22:19.161 --> 01:22:25.117 - You might've seen, but only that. - I had sex with them. 01:22:25.161 --> 01:22:30.117 - Oh, you did? How did you do it? - It's not something to... 01:22:30.161 --> 01:22:35.117 - discuss with women. - So I've got a real man... 01:22:35.161 --> 01:22:37.127 in my bed! 01:22:43.161 --> 01:22:48.117 How long will it take to get there? How long? 01:22:54.094 --> 01:22:58.049 Stay here, I'll be right back. 01:23:14.094 --> 01:23:18.049 Dora! The bus! 01:23:32.094 --> 01:23:34.060 It's packed. 01:24:04.028 --> 01:24:06.995 Could you tell me where F Street is? 01:24:11.028 --> 01:24:17.984 - Hey you! Where's F Street? - That's the new street... 01:24:18.028 --> 01:24:21.983 the paved one. It's that way. 01:24:28.028 --> 01:24:31.983 - They're all the same. - Yeah, you're right. 01:24:34.028 --> 01:24:36.995 - Did your mom have your dad's photo? - Yes. 01:24:38.028 --> 01:24:42.984 - Can you remember his face? - Sometimes I can remember... 01:24:43.028 --> 01:24:45.995 but then it gets blurry. 01:24:48.028 --> 01:24:51.927 I forget my father's face, too. 01:24:53.961 --> 01:24:59.917 Damn photos shouldn't be there to remind us. We should be able to forget. 01:25:02.961 --> 01:25:08.917 I left home at sixteen, and never saw my father again... Except for once... 01:25:08.961 --> 01:25:14.917 years later, I saw him in the street. I froze, then found the courage... 01:25:14.961 --> 01:25:22.917 to go up to him. "Remember me?" I said. "Do you recognize me?" 01:25:22.961 --> 01:25:27.917 I could see he hadn't recognized me. He didn't recognize... 01:25:27.961 --> 01:25:30.928 his own daughter. He said: 01:25:30.961 --> 01:25:34.916 "How could I have forgotten such a lovely girl like you?" 01:25:34.961 --> 01:25:40.917 I told the rat I'd made a mistake and left. 01:25:41.961 --> 01:25:47.917 I heard he died soon afterwards. You understand? 01:25:47.961 --> 01:25:51.860 - What did I do? - You'll soon forget me, too. 01:25:51.894 --> 01:25:57.850 - I don't want to forget you. - Even so... you will. 01:26:08.894 --> 01:26:10.860 Mr Jesus! 01:26:15.894 --> 01:26:19.849 Jesus doesn't live here anymore. 01:26:21.894 --> 01:26:27.850 - Do you know where he lives? - No. Vanished into the wilderness... 01:26:27.894 --> 01:26:30.861 no one's heard from him since. 01:26:33.894 --> 01:26:36.861 Thank you. 01:26:48.894 --> 01:26:53.793 So he'll never come back? 01:26:54.827 --> 01:26:58.782 - I don't think so. - I'll wait for him. 01:27:00.827 --> 01:27:04.782 It's no use, Josué. He's not coming back. 01:27:10.827 --> 01:27:14.782 Why don't you come with me? 01:27:15.827 --> 01:27:19.782 I'd really like that, kid. You know that. 01:27:20.827 --> 01:27:22.793 I really would. 01:27:27.827 --> 01:27:29.793 Let's go. 01:27:43.827 --> 01:27:47.782 - The father's vanished. - What are you going to do? 01:27:47.827 --> 01:27:52.726 - I can't leave the boy here on his own. - Of course not. 01:27:52.761 --> 01:27:55.728 You know him, he's really a good kid. 01:27:55.761 --> 01:27:59.716 Are you coming home with him? 01:27:59.761 --> 01:28:02.728 - I'm not sure what to do. - What do you mean? 01:28:03.761 --> 01:28:07.716 I've made so many mistakes in Rio, you know that, Irene. 01:28:07.761 --> 01:28:14.717 - So what are you going to do? - I want you to sell my fridge and... 01:28:14.761 --> 01:28:18.716 - my sofa... What else have I got? - The TV? 01:28:19.761 --> 01:28:20.727 Yeah, sell the goddam TV. 01:28:20.761 --> 01:28:22.727 What are you going to do? 01:28:22.761 --> 01:28:26.716 When I'm settled somewhere, I'll call you. 01:28:28.761 --> 01:28:31.728 Two tickets back to Bom Jesus, please. 01:28:31.761 --> 01:28:34.728 Not till tomorrow morning. 01:28:34.761 --> 01:28:36.727 What about to somewhere else? 01:28:36.761 --> 01:28:41.717 Nothing till tomorrow. This is the end of the world here. 01:28:41.761 --> 01:28:45.716 - How do I get out of here? - Tomorrow. 01:28:46.761 --> 01:28:48.727 Not till tomorrow. 01:28:53.694 --> 01:28:57.649 Okay... Two tickets for the first bus tomorrow morning. 01:29:07.694 --> 01:29:11.649 Are you looking for my father? 01:29:11.694 --> 01:29:14.661 - Your father? - Yes, Jesus. I was told... 01:29:14.694 --> 01:29:18.649 - some strangers were looking for him. - That's right. 01:29:19.694 --> 01:29:24.650 - Do you know him? - I'm a friend of his. 01:29:24.694 --> 01:29:30.650 - What a coincidence, meeting his son. - Not really... 01:29:30.694 --> 01:29:36.650 given the size of this place. Nice to meet you. I'm Isaías. 01:29:36.694 --> 01:29:42.650 - Nice to meet you, Isaías. - Are you visiting? 01:29:43.694 --> 01:29:49.650 I was in the area and I remembered an old friend who lived here. 01:29:49.694 --> 01:29:53.649 Then you must come to the house for a bite. 01:29:53.694 --> 01:29:57.649 People don't often come to visit dad. I insist... 01:29:57.694 --> 01:30:01.649 You're not going to refuse me. And who's this? 01:30:01.694 --> 01:30:05.649 - What's your name? - Geraldo. 01:30:05.694 --> 01:30:08.661 Geraldo, Mrs Dora, please. 01:30:08.694 --> 01:30:11.661 I insist. Come... 01:30:22.694 --> 01:30:27.650 Come here, Geraldo. Know what a tongue twister is? 01:30:27.694 --> 01:30:30.661 "Peter Piper picked 01:30:30.694 --> 01:30:33.661 a peck of pickled peppers." Now you say it. 01:30:33.694 --> 01:30:36.661 "Peter pecked a pick of paper..." 01:30:36.694 --> 01:30:38.660 What a dope! 01:30:38.694 --> 01:30:41.661 This is where me and my brother moved... 01:30:41.694 --> 01:30:46.650 after father left. Moisés! Guests from far away! 01:30:58.627 --> 01:31:03.583 Moisés, this is Mrs Dora, a friend of father's. Imagine! 01:31:03.627 --> 01:31:07.582 - Hello... - Hello. 01:31:08.627 --> 01:31:11.594 Mrs Dora, how long is it to get here? 01:31:11.627 --> 01:31:13.593 It depends on the way you come. 01:31:13.627 --> 01:31:17.582 Moisés is dying to see Rio. They say it's nice... 01:31:17.627 --> 01:31:22.583 - but full of crooks. - You find crooks everywhere. 01:31:22.627 --> 01:31:26.582 We took this land and are squatting it, Mrs Dora. All of it. We took this... 01:31:26.627 --> 01:31:31.583 house after dad lost the other, and put in this carpentry workshop. 01:31:31.627 --> 01:31:34.594 Moisés grinds away here all day long. 01:31:34.627 --> 01:31:37.594 He's even better than father now. 01:31:37.627 --> 01:31:45.583 He can make tables, chairs, everything. We even sell things to the capital. 01:31:56.561 --> 01:31:59.528 Go on, Geraldo. You can get closer. 01:32:32.561 --> 01:32:34.527 Hey, the kid plays pretty well! 01:32:34.561 --> 01:32:38.516 No praise, his head's already big enough! 01:32:38.561 --> 01:32:42.516 I play okay, it's just that they're lousy! 01:32:59.494 --> 01:33:04.450 Give it to her... She can read it for us. 01:33:05.494 --> 01:33:08.461 What's she got to do with it? 01:33:08.494 --> 01:33:13.450 She's dad's friend. We can trust her. Show it to her, please. 01:33:23.494 --> 01:33:25.460 Then I'll get it. 01:33:27.494 --> 01:33:30.461 All right, get that damned letter. 01:33:40.494 --> 01:33:45.450 This came six months ago, from dad to Ana Fontenele. She was the woman... 01:33:45.494 --> 01:33:48.461 he was with after mother died. 01:33:48.494 --> 01:33:51.392 Nine years ago, Ana Fontenele took off to Rio. She was expecting... 01:33:51.427 --> 01:33:55.382 - our little brother. - Dad waited two years for her... 01:33:55.427 --> 01:34:01.383 to come back. He stopped working and started drinking all the time. 01:34:01.427 --> 01:34:05.382 He sold the house to pay his debts. 01:34:05.427 --> 01:34:10.383 One day, I woke up to find dad gone and a half-empty bottle... 01:34:10.427 --> 01:34:15.383 on the table. That worried me. For dad to leave a bottle half empty... 01:34:15.427 --> 01:34:21.383 something serious must have happened. He vanished, but it was better for us. 01:34:21.427 --> 01:34:25.382 We saved money... Our lives improved. 01:34:25.427 --> 01:34:29.382 - Don't say that, Moisés. - I will say it! 01:34:29.427 --> 01:34:33.382 You know father... He's an okay guy. 01:34:33.427 --> 01:34:37.382 Okay? I'm going to ask her to read it. 01:34:37.427 --> 01:34:40.394 Yes, ask her. 01:34:41.427 --> 01:34:47.383 It's a letter to Ana, not to us. Dad never cared about us. 01:34:47.427 --> 01:34:51.326 But Ana never came back, so we can open it. 01:34:53.360 --> 01:34:56.327 You don't mind reading it to us, do you? 01:34:56.360 --> 01:34:58.326 Not at all. 01:35:21.360 --> 01:35:24.327 So? It says where he is? 01:35:24.360 --> 01:35:26.326 Go on, read it. 01:35:28.360 --> 01:35:30.326 "Ana, 01:35:32.360 --> 01:35:40.316 my misfortune. It was hard to find a letter writer to tell you... 01:35:40.360 --> 01:35:44.315 that I finally understood that you went back... 01:35:44.360 --> 01:35:47.327 and found our new little house, 01:35:47.360 --> 01:35:49.258 while I'm here in Rio 01:35:49.294 --> 01:35:52.261 looking for you. 01:35:53.294 --> 01:35:59.250 I hope I get back before this letter, but if it arrives before me, 01:35:59.294 --> 01:36:02.261 do as I say: 01:36:02.294 --> 01:36:06.249 Wait for me. I'll be coming home, too." 01:36:06.294 --> 01:36:09.261 The letter arrived six months ago. 01:36:09.294 --> 01:36:12.261 He's been held up. 01:36:12.294 --> 01:36:16.249 "I left Moisés and Isaías to look after things." 01:36:16.294 --> 01:36:20.249 To look after things? That's a joke! 01:36:20.294 --> 01:36:26.250 "Ana, I may work in the mines for a month before coming home, 01:36:26.294 --> 01:36:29.261 but I'll be back. Please wait. 01:36:30.294 --> 01:36:33.261 Then we'll all be together: 01:36:33.294 --> 01:36:35.260 Me, you, 01:36:35.294 --> 01:36:37.260 Isaías, 01:36:38.294 --> 01:36:40.260 Moisés, 01:36:45.294 --> 01:36:47.260 and Josué... 01:36:51.227 --> 01:36:53.193 and Josué, 01:36:53.227 --> 01:36:55.193 who I can't wait to meet. 01:36:59.227 --> 01:37:04.183 You're a bad-tempered mule, but I'd give all I have to... 01:37:04.227 --> 01:37:07.194 see you again. 01:37:08.227 --> 01:37:10.193 Forgive me. 01:37:11.227 --> 01:37:14.194 It's you and me, for life. 01:37:16.227 --> 01:37:18.193 Jesus." 01:37:23.227 --> 01:37:25.193 He'll be back. 01:37:26.227 --> 01:37:28.193 No, he won't. 01:37:29.227 --> 01:37:31.193 Yes, he will, one day. 01:37:46.227 --> 01:37:52.126 Did my father really say he wanted to meet me? 01:37:53.160 --> 01:37:59.116 - Of course he did. - I know he didn't. 01:38:02.160 --> 01:38:07.116 Hey, folks. Come inside. I fixed up dad's bedroom for you, Mrs Dora. 01:38:07.160 --> 01:38:10.127 Thank you. 01:38:10.160 --> 01:38:13.127 - Tongue twister, boy. - Again? 01:38:13.160 --> 01:38:18.116 "How now brown cow."
