Elisa y Marcela (2019)

1
00:01:07,165 --> 00:01:10,885
<i>As far back as I can remember,
I had a happy childhood.</i>

2
00:01:12,485 --> 00:01:13,605
<i>But I grew older,</i>

3
00:01:14,445 --> 00:01:16,925
<i>and that's when the questions started.</i>

4
00:01:18,125 --> 00:01:20,605
<i>And with the questions came the suffering.</i>

5
00:01:22,005 --> 00:01:23,005
<i>Who am I?</i>

6
00:01:24,445 --> 00:01:25,685
<i>Where do I come from?</i>

7
00:01:26,645 --> 00:01:28,125
<i>What is my story?</i>

8
00:01:31,205 --> 00:01:32,885
<i>Who were those women</i>

9
00:01:32,965 --> 00:01:35,925
<i>whose names were always
pronounced quietly...</i>

10
00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:38,805
<i>when they thought I wasn't listening?</i>

11
00:01:40,685 --> 00:01:41,725
<i>Who were they?</i>

12
00:01:43,845 --> 00:01:44,925
<i>Who were they?</i>

13
00:01:54,165 --> 00:02:00,125
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

14
00:02:07,405 --> 00:02:11,525
CHUBUT PROVINCE, ARGENTINA. 1925

15
00:05:02,725 --> 00:05:04,165
Can I touch your face?

16
00:06:03,005 --> 00:06:05,365
I imagine there are things
you'd like to know.

17
00:06:06,965 --> 00:06:07,965
Things?

18
00:06:12,805 --> 00:06:13,805
Everything.

19
00:06:23,005 --> 00:06:24,605
It's impossible to know everything.

20
00:07:31,245 --> 00:07:32,805
Are you in the first year?

21
00:07:37,045 --> 00:07:39,805
But I've been sick
and I missed the first few days.

22
00:07:42,125 --> 00:07:44,885
If you don't dry off,
you'll get sick again. Come on.

23
00:07:46,805 --> 00:07:47,805
Come on!

24
00:07:50,885 --> 00:07:53,125
VANITY IS YOUR WEAKNESS

25
00:08:11,885 --> 00:08:15,325
Do you think they will take into account
the days off that I've missed?

26
00:08:18,245 --> 00:08:20,125
Don't worry, I'll talk to them.

27
00:08:20,765 --> 00:08:23,725
I'm in my third year and I work here.
My aunt is the headmistress.

28
00:08:26,605 --> 00:08:27,805
Let me help you.

29
00:08:32,325 --> 00:08:33,325
Thank you.

30
00:08:41,845 --> 00:08:43,525
- Am I hurting you?
- No.

31
00:08:49,925 --> 00:08:50,965
And now?

32
00:08:52,645 --> 00:08:53,645
No.

33
00:08:56,005 --> 00:08:56,885
Now?

34
00:08:56,965 --> 00:08:57,965
No.

35
00:09:01,885 --> 00:09:02,925
My name is Elisa.

36
00:09:04,285 --> 00:09:05,285
I'm Marcela.

37
00:09:13,605 --> 00:09:14,605
I like your mole.

38
00:09:23,645 --> 00:09:26,925
This week, we are going to learn
about pronouns.

39
00:09:29,405 --> 00:09:30,565
Come in.

40
00:09:32,325 --> 00:09:34,085
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

41
00:09:34,405 --> 00:09:37,285
Excuse me, Sister,
she's new at the school and was lost.

42
00:09:37,365 --> 00:09:39,445
She's been sick
and missed the first few days.

43
00:09:39,525 --> 00:09:43,125
But she's very hardworking
and keen to get up to date quickly.

44
00:09:43,205 --> 00:09:45,805
- Can she take a seat?
- Yes. Thank you, Elisa.

45
00:09:46,165 --> 00:09:47,165
Please...

46
00:09:48,725 --> 00:09:49,765
Your name?

47
00:09:50,245 --> 00:09:51,885
Marcela Gracia Ibeas.

48
00:09:51,965 --> 00:09:54,165
Very well. Have a seat there, please.

49
00:10:00,045 --> 00:10:01,965
Let's continue with the lesson.

50
00:10:02,245 --> 00:10:06,325
People or things
are not only called by their name,

51
00:10:06,405 --> 00:10:09,885
but also by words which replace the name.

52
00:10:10,285 --> 00:10:12,005
So, when we say,

53
00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:15,765
"Bernardo was very happy with his Elvira,

54
00:10:16,085 --> 00:10:18,125
and they lived happily together,

55
00:10:18,205 --> 00:10:20,645
she with him, and he with her,"

56
00:10:20,725 --> 00:10:23,925
"he" replaces Bernardo
and "she" replaces Elvira.

57
00:10:53,085 --> 00:10:54,085
You scared me.

58
00:10:54,165 --> 00:10:55,645
Really? I'm sorry.

59
00:10:56,885 --> 00:10:58,205
I was waiting for you.

60
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:02,325
I live upstairs with my aunt
and the other nuns. Didn't I tell you?

61
00:11:03,165 --> 00:11:04,765
- Inside the school?
- Mm-hmm.

62
00:11:06,325 --> 00:11:07,645
I wanted to thank you.

63
00:11:08,565 --> 00:11:09,925
There's no need.

64
00:11:16,805 --> 00:11:19,005
What is it like living with the nuns?

65
00:11:20,045 --> 00:11:21,125
What do you think?

66
00:11:23,005 --> 00:11:24,005
I don't know.

67
00:11:29,085 --> 00:11:30,165
It's hell.

68
00:11:32,325 --> 00:11:35,725
Considering they're the wives of God,
they're a bunch of old hags.

69
00:11:35,805 --> 00:11:38,765
They're always fighting
and criticizing each other,

70
00:11:39,325 --> 00:11:40,645
and they're not happy.

71
00:11:41,365 --> 00:11:43,045
It's like living in a harem,

72
00:11:43,925 --> 00:11:47,605
where all the women fight
in order to be the Sultan's favorite.

73
00:11:49,525 --> 00:11:51,205
But the Sultan is never there.

74
00:11:54,645 --> 00:11:55,645
Never?

75
00:11:56,365 --> 00:11:57,565
I've never seen him.

76
00:12:02,885 --> 00:12:04,085
Don't you believe...

77
00:12:04,925 --> 00:12:05,925
in God?

78
00:12:21,925 --> 00:12:23,365
I don't believe in nuns.

79
00:12:23,845 --> 00:12:25,325
I don't believe in priests.

80
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:28,965
Nor the Virgin Mary, nor the Holy Spirit,
especially not that.

81
00:12:31,165 --> 00:12:33,085
And... I don't believe in God.

82
00:12:35,245 --> 00:12:36,245
And you?

83
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:40,525
I don't know.

84
00:12:43,005 --> 00:12:45,085
I only believe in things that move.

85
00:12:47,005 --> 00:12:48,205
I believe in horses.

86
00:12:48,765 --> 00:12:50,245
I'd do anything to have one.

87
00:12:50,765 --> 00:12:53,845
What about mice? And cats and dogs,
do you believe in them?

88
00:12:53,925 --> 00:12:56,765
In pigeons and in snails.

89
00:12:57,165 --> 00:12:59,685
And in ants, in everything.

90
00:13:10,925 --> 00:13:12,405
You should go home.

91
00:13:14,405 --> 00:13:16,525
And you have to go back to the nuns.

92
00:13:16,685 --> 00:13:17,685
Yes.

93
00:13:20,725 --> 00:13:22,125
See you tomorrow, then.

94
00:13:23,445 --> 00:13:24,525
See you tomorrow.

95
00:13:28,565 --> 00:13:29,885
Have a nice evening.

96
00:13:29,965 --> 00:13:32,565
- Don't forget an umbrella tomorrow.
- No.

97
00:14:27,685 --> 00:14:28,805
Who was the girl...

98
00:14:29,525 --> 00:14:30,685
that accompanied you?

99
00:14:32,565 --> 00:14:33,645
She's from school.

100
00:14:35,645 --> 00:14:36,645
Elisa.

101
00:14:39,485 --> 00:14:41,445
She helped me find the classroom.

102
00:14:44,445 --> 00:14:45,765
Her aunt is the headmistress.

103
00:14:55,685 --> 00:14:57,365
There are husks in the soup.

104
00:14:58,245 --> 00:14:59,805
I strained it three times.

105
00:15:01,205 --> 00:15:02,245
You strained it?

106
00:15:17,325 --> 00:15:20,725
In this school, you must learn, yes,
but not too much.

107
00:15:21,685 --> 00:15:23,645
Not too much, just enough.

108
00:15:57,565 --> 00:15:58,605
Hello, Elisa.

109
00:15:59,005 --> 00:16:00,005
Hello, Elisa.

110
00:16:01,165 --> 00:16:02,525
Good morning, Elisa.

111
00:16:02,845 --> 00:16:04,125
Good morning, Elisa.

112
00:16:05,445 --> 00:16:06,765
How are you, Elisa?

113
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:09,525
Hello, Elisa. How are you?

114
00:16:20,845 --> 00:16:21,845
Elisa...

115
00:16:22,365 --> 00:16:23,365
Elisa...

116
00:16:24,525 --> 00:16:26,285
Elisa, Elisa, Elisa...

117
00:16:26,365 --> 00:16:27,725
Elisa, Elisa...

118
00:17:04,285 --> 00:17:05,725
You didn't listen to me.

119
00:17:08,405 --> 00:17:09,405
No.

120
00:17:12,845 --> 00:17:13,845
I forgot.

121
00:17:59,525 --> 00:18:03,165
This Christian victory
beside the Cave of Covadonga

122
00:18:03,245 --> 00:18:06,245
is the result of bravery
and the Christian faith,

123
00:18:06,325 --> 00:18:09,285
which nourished the Christian soldiers,

124
00:18:09,365 --> 00:18:13,365
who were capable of defeating
the Moorish troops,

125
00:18:13,725 --> 00:18:15,365
who, I'd say, were barbarians.

126
00:18:15,445 --> 00:18:18,605
<i>Isabel and Fernando</i>

127
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:22,845
<i>Were excellent monarchs</i>

128
00:18:23,245 --> 00:18:26,445
<i>- They kicked out of Spain...</i>
- Do you want to see my bedroom?

129
00:18:26,525 --> 00:18:29,565
<i>The dark-skinned Moors</i>

130
00:18:29,645 --> 00:18:30,645
Now?

131
00:18:31,525 --> 00:18:32,525
If not now, when?

132
00:18:44,485 --> 00:18:45,485
Elisa...

133
00:18:47,085 --> 00:18:48,125
Who are you with?

134
00:18:49,125 --> 00:18:51,285
Marcela, she's new at the school,
Sister Clara.

135
00:18:51,365 --> 00:18:52,965
Ah, and what is she like?

136
00:18:54,765 --> 00:18:56,125
She's...

137
00:18:57,765 --> 00:18:58,765
a redhead.

138
00:18:59,365 --> 00:19:00,925
Or carrot-colored, rather.

139
00:19:01,245 --> 00:19:02,725
She has lots of freckles.

140
00:19:03,365 --> 00:19:04,925
And she's very fat!

141
00:19:05,925 --> 00:19:07,245
- Are you sure?
- And lame!

142
00:19:10,685 --> 00:19:12,965
If I didn't know you, Elisa...

143
00:19:13,845 --> 00:19:15,245
If I didn't know you!

144
00:19:24,165 --> 00:19:25,965
This is where I read and draw.

145
00:19:27,725 --> 00:19:29,365
At least they leave me alone.

146
00:19:32,685 --> 00:19:33,925
Do you want me to go?

147
00:19:34,245 --> 00:19:35,565
No, not you, please.

148
00:19:36,125 --> 00:19:38,005
I meant the nuns and my aunt.

149
00:19:43,085 --> 00:19:45,285
Do you know
what they're always telling me?

150
00:19:45,925 --> 00:19:46,925
No.

151
00:19:47,685 --> 00:19:50,005
That I should find a man
and get married soon.

152
00:19:50,085 --> 00:19:52,765
If I don't, I'll have to stay
with them here forever.

153
00:19:53,845 --> 00:19:56,045
They tell me that day in, day out.

154
00:20:05,485 --> 00:20:08,205
My dad tells me not to waste
too much time at school.

155
00:20:09,005 --> 00:20:11,365
And that teachers have a bad reputation.

156
00:20:12,605 --> 00:20:15,565
And that I should get married now
before I get pregnant.

157
00:20:21,165 --> 00:20:22,645
And what do you tell him?

158
00:20:29,805 --> 00:20:31,765
And you, what do you tell them?

159
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:34,285
I asked first.

160
00:20:39,365 --> 00:20:41,005
I tell them...

161
00:20:43,885 --> 00:20:45,565
I tell them what they want to hear.

162
00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:49,725
Me too.

163
00:20:53,005 --> 00:20:57,325
But instead of marrying a man,
I'd rather do anything else, anything.

164
00:21:10,885 --> 00:21:13,045
I don't know
if I want to get married or not.

165
00:21:14,445 --> 00:21:15,445
Dear me!

166
00:21:16,365 --> 00:21:18,605
There are lots of things
you don't know, right?

167
00:21:18,885 --> 00:21:21,845
If you believe in God,
if you want to get married.

168
00:21:23,605 --> 00:21:25,805
Is there anything you are sure about?

169
00:21:54,325 --> 00:21:56,565
I know that I was in an orphanage
until I was ten.

170
00:21:59,365 --> 00:22:01,965
Sleeping with 40 other girls
in potato sacks.

171
00:22:03,285 --> 00:22:05,485
With rats crawling where they please.

172
00:22:09,805 --> 00:22:12,485
Eating watered-down soup
full of dead spiders.

173
00:22:13,445 --> 00:22:14,885
Seeing nothing but misery...

174
00:22:15,565 --> 00:22:16,565
and filth.

175
00:22:18,165 --> 00:22:19,245
And masses.

176
00:22:20,885 --> 00:22:22,525
One morning, all of a sudden,

177
00:22:23,285 --> 00:22:25,445
a woman came who said she was my mother.

178
00:22:26,205 --> 00:22:27,365
My real mother.

179
00:22:29,885 --> 00:22:32,605
She took me to a house
with a man who said he was my father.

180
00:22:38,525 --> 00:22:39,885
They never hugged me,

181
00:22:41,685 --> 00:22:45,125
nor told me why for ten years
I had thought they were dead.

182
00:22:49,885 --> 00:22:51,485
I don't know if they're my parents.

183
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:54,565
So, if I don't even know that,

184
00:22:56,245 --> 00:22:58,325
how can I know if I believe in God?

185
00:22:58,925 --> 00:23:00,565
Or in marriage? Or anything?

186
00:23:02,125 --> 00:23:03,485
Forgive me, Marcela...

187
00:23:05,045 --> 00:23:06,045
I didn't know.

188
00:23:09,965 --> 00:23:11,805
- I'm going to class.
- I'm sorry.

189
00:23:12,885 --> 00:23:14,085
Will you forgive me?

190
00:23:42,805 --> 00:23:43,725
Good evening.

191
00:23:43,805 --> 00:23:45,765
I'm Elisa, Marcela's classmate.

192
00:23:45,845 --> 00:23:49,085
She lent me this book this morning
and I came to give it back. Can I...

193
00:23:49,165 --> 00:23:50,845
- I'll give it to her.
- Thank you.

194
00:23:50,925 --> 00:23:52,765
- Good night.
- Good night.

195
00:23:56,845 --> 00:23:59,325
From that classmate of yours.

196
00:23:59,765 --> 00:24:01,485
You left it behind, she said.

197
00:24:13,565 --> 00:24:16,165
Some books bring us nothing good.

198
00:25:05,485 --> 00:25:06,645
"Dear Marcela,

199
00:25:07,405 --> 00:25:09,685
I would never deliberately hurt you.

200
00:25:10,085 --> 00:25:11,085
I swear.

201
00:25:12,285 --> 00:25:13,285
Believe me.

202
00:25:14,125 --> 00:25:15,685
Believe me and forgive me.

203
00:25:16,045 --> 00:25:17,405
Yours, Elisa."

204
00:25:27,685 --> 00:25:29,165
"Yours, Elisa."

205
00:25:34,845 --> 00:25:35,845
Marcela.

206
00:25:43,645 --> 00:25:45,165
Your father is wrong.

207
00:25:48,205 --> 00:25:49,285
Books...

208
00:25:51,205 --> 00:25:52,205
What?

209
00:25:53,645 --> 00:25:54,805
What about books?

210
00:25:55,005 --> 00:25:56,565
I read in secret...

211
00:25:57,085 --> 00:25:58,725
when your father doesn't see me.

212
00:25:59,565 --> 00:26:00,565
That's not true.

213
00:26:17,925 --> 00:26:19,405
Emilia Pardo Bazán.

214
00:26:32,765 --> 00:26:35,885
THE BURNING QUESTION

215
00:26:42,885 --> 00:26:44,085
- I dreamt...
- I dreamt...

216
00:26:47,245 --> 00:26:48,885
- You first.
- No, you.

217
00:26:51,005 --> 00:26:52,325
I had a dream about you.

218
00:26:54,525 --> 00:26:55,525
No way.

219
00:26:56,165 --> 00:26:57,605
I had a dream about you.

220
00:26:59,445 --> 00:27:00,445
Really?

221
00:27:02,685 --> 00:27:03,685
Yes.

222
00:27:20,485 --> 00:27:22,205
You won't tell me your dream?

223
00:27:23,005 --> 00:27:24,005
No.

224
00:27:24,325 --> 00:27:25,325
Never.

225
00:27:27,605 --> 00:27:28,605
And you?

226
00:27:31,525 --> 00:27:32,525
Me neither.

227
00:27:44,685 --> 00:27:47,325
Do you know something
I've been thinking my whole life?

228
00:27:50,445 --> 00:27:51,445
What?

229
00:27:59,725 --> 00:28:01,285
Sometimes I walk here.

230
00:28:02,805 --> 00:28:04,245
I go close to the water.

231
00:28:04,725 --> 00:28:06,565
Then I close my eyes and dream.

232
00:28:09,325 --> 00:28:10,325
You dream?

233
00:28:14,365 --> 00:28:16,805
I dream that I'm riding a horse,

234
00:28:17,125 --> 00:28:18,325
and I cross the sea.

235
00:28:19,285 --> 00:28:20,965
Then I reach the shore...

236
00:28:22,005 --> 00:28:23,125
and it's Argentina.

237
00:28:26,365 --> 00:28:29,045
And I keep riding the horse
for a long time...

238
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:31,445
without getting tired.

239
00:28:40,845 --> 00:28:43,965
It's an absurd dream,
because I've never ridden a horse and...

240
00:28:44,045 --> 00:28:45,645
I'm very scared of the sea.

241
00:29:07,565 --> 00:29:09,765
But... What are you doing?

242
00:30:26,605 --> 00:30:27,965
This is real, isn't it?

243
00:30:29,365 --> 00:30:30,445
It isn't a dream?

244
00:30:32,485 --> 00:30:34,445
It isn't this cold in dreams.

245
00:31:02,925 --> 00:31:05,605
You should go.
It's a long way back to school.

246
00:31:05,685 --> 00:31:06,885
I don't mind.

247
00:31:09,085 --> 00:31:10,085
See you tomorrow.

248
00:31:10,525 --> 00:31:11,525
Marcela, I...

249
00:31:12,005 --> 00:31:14,165
- There are so many things...
- Elisa.

250
00:31:15,325 --> 00:31:17,005
They're waiting for me inside.

251
00:31:19,405 --> 00:31:20,525
Let me tell you one.

252
00:31:24,445 --> 00:31:25,445
What?

253
00:31:30,925 --> 00:31:32,125
If I died right now,

254
00:31:33,045 --> 00:31:35,205
that moment with you in the sea...

255
00:31:38,805 --> 00:31:40,845
would be the happiest moment of my life.

256
00:31:48,965 --> 00:31:50,805
One day, I'll buy you a horse.

257
00:32:28,085 --> 00:32:29,125
Let her go.

258
00:32:29,205 --> 00:32:31,685
- She’ll stay to take care of you.
- She's studying.

259
00:32:31,765 --> 00:32:33,445
- I'm fine, really.
- Enough.

260
00:32:37,565 --> 00:32:40,845
No way. Don't even think
about going to school today.

261
00:32:41,365 --> 00:32:42,245
Why not?

262
00:32:42,325 --> 00:32:44,365
You'll look after your mother,
she's not well.

263
00:32:44,445 --> 00:32:47,485
I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. Let her go.

264
00:32:47,565 --> 00:32:49,205
Marcela is staying here today.

265
00:32:50,645 --> 00:32:51,645
That's final.

266
00:32:56,205 --> 00:33:00,045
In Portugal, there are
three main natural regions,

267
00:33:00,125 --> 00:33:03,885
the north, the center, and the south,

268
00:33:03,965 --> 00:33:06,845
which consists of the Alentejo
and the Algarve.

269
00:33:06,925 --> 00:33:08,205
The northern region

270
00:33:08,285 --> 00:33:11,245
is located between the Minho Province
and the Serra da Estrela.

271
00:34:26,285 --> 00:34:27,405
You know something?

272
00:34:30,045 --> 00:34:32,125
My body is covered in moles.

273
00:34:40,285 --> 00:34:41,405
And one day...

274
00:34:43,485 --> 00:34:44,965
will you let me see them?

275
00:35:16,965 --> 00:35:17,965
Wait here.

276
00:35:22,005 --> 00:35:25,925
"Darkness didn't allow anything to be seen
other than its imposing outline,

277
00:35:26,005 --> 00:35:29,445
hiding the lines and details
in the darkness of the night."

278
00:35:31,205 --> 00:35:33,085
Who's this? What is she doing here?

279
00:35:33,685 --> 00:35:34,685
This is Elisa.

280
00:35:36,405 --> 00:35:38,045
She brought me my homework.

281
00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:40,805
Seeing as I didn't go to school today.

282
00:35:42,805 --> 00:35:43,805
Leave.

283
00:36:06,045 --> 00:36:07,045
Daughter.

284
00:36:09,205 --> 00:36:10,725
You and I need to talk.

285
00:36:11,765 --> 00:36:12,765
About what?

286
00:36:13,165 --> 00:36:15,365
- I can't miss class.
- Yes, you can.

287
00:36:16,205 --> 00:36:18,245
As your education is so important to you,

288
00:36:18,325 --> 00:36:22,165
your mother and I are sending you
to boarding school... in Madrid.

289
00:36:22,445 --> 00:36:24,165
It's a good place, my child.

290
00:36:24,245 --> 00:36:26,285
You'll learn a lot more
than you will here.

291
00:36:26,365 --> 00:36:28,045
In three years, you'll be a teacher.

292
00:36:28,125 --> 00:36:30,805
Boarding school or a convent, you decide.

293
00:36:30,885 --> 00:36:34,165
I would have chosen a convent,
but your mother insisted.

294
00:36:34,245 --> 00:36:36,285
- Where are you going?
- Let go!

295
00:36:36,365 --> 00:36:37,725
Get off! Let go of me!

296
00:36:37,805 --> 00:36:40,005
- Stop it right there!
- Let go!

297
00:36:43,285 --> 00:36:44,285
Let go of me!

298
00:37:18,125 --> 00:37:19,365
<i>Dear Marcela,</i>

299
00:37:20,365 --> 00:37:21,605
<i>Four weeks,</i>

300
00:37:22,045 --> 00:37:23,605
<i>three days, and nine hours</i>

301
00:37:24,085 --> 00:37:26,525
have passed since the last time
I could smell you.

302
00:37:27,325 --> 00:37:30,325
Yet, I feel you are so close to me
in my thoughts...

303
00:37:31,445 --> 00:37:33,245
that I could almost touch you.

304
00:37:34,885 --> 00:37:36,485
<i>Everything reminds me of you.</i>

305
00:37:37,245 --> 00:37:38,245
<i>Everything.</i>

306
00:37:39,005 --> 00:37:40,045
<i>The children.</i>

307
00:37:40,725 --> 00:37:41,725
<i>My aunt.</i>

308
00:37:41,925 --> 00:37:43,125
<i>The nuns.</i>

309
00:37:44,885 --> 00:37:45,925
<i>The sun.</i>

310
00:37:46,365 --> 00:37:48,045
<i>The rain, the sea.</i>

311
00:37:48,845 --> 00:37:49,845
<i>The sand.</i>

312
00:37:51,045 --> 00:37:54,525
<i>This blank paper that I fill with words
that take me to you.</i>

313
00:37:56,445 --> 00:37:57,485
<i>The quill.</i>

314
00:37:58,565 --> 00:37:59,565
<i>The ink.</i>

315
00:38:01,725 --> 00:38:03,525
I often dream of you, Marcela.

316
00:38:05,205 --> 00:38:06,405
Even when I'm awake.

317
00:38:08,445 --> 00:38:09,485
I draw you.

318
00:38:09,845 --> 00:38:12,645
And so, wherever I look, I find you.

319
00:38:14,365 --> 00:38:15,845
<i>I miss you so much.</i>

320
00:38:17,725 --> 00:38:18,725
<i>So much.</i>

321
00:38:23,925 --> 00:38:25,405
I want to kiss your mole.

322
00:38:30,365 --> 00:38:31,525
Always yours...

323
00:38:32,845 --> 00:38:33,845
Elisa.

324
00:38:35,365 --> 00:38:36,445
Dear Elisa,

325
00:38:37,805 --> 00:38:39,405
I've just read your letter.

326
00:38:40,245 --> 00:38:42,765
Reading your words is the closest thing
to touching you.

327
00:38:44,885 --> 00:38:47,965
Some days, I imagine me by your side
while you write.

328
00:38:48,365 --> 00:38:49,685
While you write to me.

329
00:38:50,725 --> 00:38:51,805
And I watch you.

330
00:38:53,925 --> 00:38:55,885
I watch each gesture.

331
00:38:56,885 --> 00:38:58,525
Each word that you give me.

332
00:39:00,085 --> 00:39:01,885
And I look closely at your hands.

333
00:39:02,885 --> 00:39:04,045
At your moles.

334
00:39:06,005 --> 00:39:07,245
At your pauses.

335
00:39:08,605 --> 00:39:09,725
At your haste.

336
00:39:11,205 --> 00:39:12,205
And mine.

337
00:39:15,365 --> 00:39:19,125
I imagine all our letters together
as if they were magic charms.

338
00:39:19,885 --> 00:39:22,365
And you and me naked, on top of them.

339
00:39:24,245 --> 00:39:26,925
As if all the words
that we've sent each other

340
00:39:27,445 --> 00:39:30,085
<i>could protect us from the cold,</i>

341
00:39:30,925 --> 00:39:31,925
<i>from people,</i>

342
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:34,445
<i>from the distance.</i>

343
00:39:37,805 --> 00:39:40,005
Whenever one of your letters arrives,

344
00:39:40,525 --> 00:39:42,125
before I open it, I hug it.

345
00:39:43,565 --> 00:39:44,685
<i>I hug you.</i>

346
00:39:45,845 --> 00:39:48,045
<i>And your words calm my impatience,</i>

347
00:39:49,085 --> 00:39:50,645
<i>my fear of not seeing you,</i>

348
00:39:51,405 --> 00:39:53,525
<i>and the fear that one day
you'll stop writing.</i>

349
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:56,965
<i>Your words of love penetrate my skin.</i>

350
00:39:58,645 --> 00:40:01,645
<i>I think that my moles are words from you.</i>

351
00:40:03,045 --> 00:40:04,605
<i>I love you so much, Elisa.</i>

352
00:40:07,125 --> 00:40:09,925
COUSO, GALICIA. THREE YEARS LATER

353
00:40:10,005 --> 00:40:11,125
<i>The chestnut...</i>

354
00:40:12,845 --> 00:40:14,005
is a fruit...

355
00:40:19,885 --> 00:40:21,445
with a reddish shell.

356
00:40:27,965 --> 00:40:29,645
The shape of the chestnut...

357
00:40:35,845 --> 00:40:37,245
is very similar...

358
00:40:44,885 --> 00:40:46,245
to that of a heart.

359
00:40:58,965 --> 00:41:00,245
Draw a chestnut.

360
00:41:26,605 --> 00:41:29,805
Honestly! What did I tell you?
Have you finished drawing a chestnut?

361
00:41:29,885 --> 00:41:32,325
I have the quickest kids in all of Couso.

362
00:41:33,365 --> 00:41:34,605
Get back inside!

363
00:42:41,925 --> 00:42:43,325
Who is she?

364
00:42:55,765 --> 00:42:56,765
You.

365
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:13,485
<i>- You've been with me all this time.
- All this time.</i>

366
00:48:13,565 --> 00:48:15,965
<i>- And you've been with me every minute.
- Every minute.</i>

367
00:48:17,845 --> 00:48:21,645
<i>You should apply for the school in Couso,
ten kilometers from mine.</i>

368
00:48:22,165 --> 00:48:24,165
<i>- Ten kilometers.
- Ten kilometers.</i>

369
00:48:24,445 --> 00:48:26,565
<i>Then I'll get them
to transfer me with you.</i>

370
00:48:26,645 --> 00:48:28,405
<i>- Yes.
- Yes, with you.</i>

371
00:48:28,485 --> 00:48:29,485
<i>With me.</i>

372
00:48:30,965 --> 00:48:33,085
<i>- And we'll be together.
- And we'll be together.</i>

373
00:48:33,165 --> 00:48:34,045
<i>Together.</i>

374
00:48:34,125 --> 00:48:35,325
<i>- Together.
- Together.</i>

375
00:48:35,405 --> 00:48:37,005
<i>- Together.
- Forever.</i>

376
00:48:37,085 --> 00:48:38,365
<i>- Forever.
- Forever.</i>

377
00:48:38,805 --> 00:48:39,805
<i>Forever.</i>

378
00:48:40,365 --> 00:48:41,645
<i>- I love you.
- I love you.</i>

379
00:48:41,925 --> 00:48:43,365
<i>- I love you.
- I love you.</i>

380
00:48:53,565 --> 00:48:54,485
Good morning.

381
00:48:54,565 --> 00:48:56,205
Good morning!

382
00:48:57,525 --> 00:48:58,445
You may sit down.

383
00:48:58,525 --> 00:49:00,165
CALO, GALICIA. FEBRUARY, 1901

384
00:49:00,245 --> 00:49:02,885
I'm Miss Marcela, what are your names?

385
00:49:03,285 --> 00:49:04,285
I'm Pedro.

386
00:49:04,765 --> 00:49:05,765
I'm Rosa.

387
00:49:06,045 --> 00:49:07,325
My name is Celso.

388
00:49:07,405 --> 00:49:08,645
My name is Rocío.

389
00:49:08,725 --> 00:49:09,965
I'm Rosalía.

390
00:49:10,365 --> 00:49:12,925
And the tree?
Do you know what it is called?

391
00:49:16,805 --> 00:49:18,245
THE HOLY TRINITY

392
00:49:18,325 --> 00:49:19,805
GOD - HOLY SPIRIT - SON

393
00:49:41,925 --> 00:49:43,565
Look at those two birds.

394
00:49:43,645 --> 00:49:44,765
Can you give us a hand?

395
00:49:45,045 --> 00:49:47,125
- We don't bite.
- They're ill-tempered.

396
00:51:22,085 --> 00:51:23,085
The...

397
00:51:23,805 --> 00:51:25,645
body...

398
00:51:28,245 --> 00:51:29,245
of the...

399
00:51:32,045 --> 00:51:36,285
snail...

400
00:51:39,645 --> 00:51:40,645
is...

401
00:51:43,205 --> 00:51:45,285
soft.

402
00:52:22,405 --> 00:52:23,725
I knew you were here.

403
00:52:30,005 --> 00:52:32,045
I always know when you're near.

404
00:53:49,125 --> 00:53:50,245
What's that letter?

405
00:53:51,845 --> 00:53:53,085
My cousin, Mario.

406
00:53:53,885 --> 00:53:54,965
My aunt's son.

407
00:53:56,805 --> 00:53:58,125
He's drowned to death.

408
00:53:59,485 --> 00:54:00,485
Drowned?

409
00:54:01,925 --> 00:54:04,605
I hardly knew him,
he always lived in England.

410
00:54:06,125 --> 00:54:07,485
I was his only family.

411
00:54:11,165 --> 00:54:12,245
Shall we eat?

412
00:54:12,325 --> 00:54:14,085
Yes, I'm starving.

413
00:55:32,405 --> 00:55:33,405
May I?

414
00:55:38,285 --> 00:55:39,445
I don't dance.

415
00:55:40,325 --> 00:55:42,325
What do you mean, you don't dance?

416
00:55:42,565 --> 00:55:43,565
Just one.

417
00:55:45,565 --> 00:55:48,645
Don't worry about your friend,
I'll ask her next if you want.

418
00:56:49,285 --> 00:56:50,965
Sometimes I feel so scared.

419
00:56:52,685 --> 00:56:53,685
Elisa...

420
00:56:54,445 --> 00:56:56,045
We have to play along.

421
00:56:56,725 --> 00:56:58,685
Pretend we're like everyone else.

422
00:56:59,085 --> 00:57:00,645
That we're just like them.

423
00:57:02,125 --> 00:57:03,605
Or they won't leave us alone.

424
00:57:10,725 --> 00:57:11,765
You know that.

425
00:57:12,485 --> 00:57:13,485
I know.

426
00:58:17,125 --> 00:58:18,125
What a pair.

427
00:58:26,405 --> 00:58:30,965
- Have you seen those two?
- Yes. They're having so much fun, you see?

428
01:00:14,485 --> 01:00:15,525
What do you want?

429
01:00:21,445 --> 01:00:24,445
I wanted to ask Miss Marcela
to the dance next week.

430
01:00:27,205 --> 01:00:28,325
To go to the dance.

431
01:00:29,005 --> 01:00:30,525
Miss Marcela can't go.

432
01:00:33,085 --> 01:00:34,325
Let the lady tell me.

433
01:00:35,405 --> 01:00:37,085
Or are you in charge of her?

434
01:00:44,205 --> 01:00:45,205
Open the door!

435
01:00:49,045 --> 01:00:50,605
Open the door, you dyke.

436
01:00:56,725 --> 01:00:57,725
Lesbian.

437
01:01:04,005 --> 01:01:05,005
Marcela!

438
01:01:35,765 --> 01:01:38,245
Do you know what's happened
to your classmates?

439
01:01:40,765 --> 01:01:41,885
Are they sick?

440
01:01:50,685 --> 01:01:51,725
You may sit down.

441
01:02:41,845 --> 01:02:42,845
Come out!

442
01:04:08,565 --> 01:04:10,285
You know what we have to do, right?

443
01:04:11,965 --> 01:04:12,965
Yes.

444
01:04:14,765 --> 01:04:15,885
Are you sure?

445
01:04:18,165 --> 01:04:19,165
Yes.

446
01:04:24,325 --> 01:04:25,325
Do you love me?

447
01:04:28,805 --> 01:04:30,045
With all my soul.

448
01:05:24,125 --> 01:05:26,565
Marcela, it's not too late
to live another life.

449
01:05:27,285 --> 01:05:28,285
A life...

450
01:05:30,045 --> 01:05:31,045
that is normal.

451
01:05:32,765 --> 01:05:33,765
Be quiet.

452
01:05:36,725 --> 01:05:38,565
A normal life for me is with you.

453
01:05:42,365 --> 01:05:44,605
Nobody could ever give me what you do.

454
01:05:46,405 --> 01:05:47,405
Nobody.

455
01:05:49,525 --> 01:05:50,525
Ever.

456
01:06:00,405 --> 01:06:03,965
Afterwards, we'll go to Buenos Aires,
where nobody knows us.

457
01:06:07,885 --> 01:06:08,885
Yes.

458
01:06:16,405 --> 01:06:18,645
I haven't seen Elisa in days.

459
01:06:20,365 --> 01:06:21,365
She's left.

460
01:06:23,205 --> 01:06:25,205
Where to, may I ask?

461
01:06:26,885 --> 01:06:27,885
To Havana.

462
01:06:28,645 --> 01:06:29,965
With some relatives.

463
01:06:31,045 --> 01:06:32,445
She's already set sail.

464
01:06:41,205 --> 01:06:43,245
Goodbye. I'm going inside.

465
01:07:02,485 --> 01:07:03,485
Wait.

466
01:07:19,765 --> 01:07:21,405
They say your friend has left.

467
01:07:21,805 --> 01:07:22,805
Yes.

468
01:07:23,845 --> 01:07:25,005
A few days ago.

469
01:07:26,285 --> 01:07:27,285
To Cuba.

470
01:07:30,525 --> 01:07:31,725
Are you by yourself?

471
01:07:36,285 --> 01:07:38,205
And the firewood is running out.

472
01:07:40,565 --> 01:07:42,645
It was Elisa who took care of that.

473
01:07:44,765 --> 01:07:46,445
I could bring some firewood.

474
01:07:49,405 --> 01:07:50,405
Thank you.

475
01:07:53,205 --> 01:07:54,205
Today.

476
01:07:56,045 --> 01:07:57,045
Tonight.

477
01:08:36,565 --> 01:08:39,085
<i>There's a praised island</i>

478
01:08:39,725 --> 01:08:42,125
<i>There at the bottom of the sea</i>

479
01:08:43,165 --> 01:08:46,005
<i>It sails with bright stars</i>

480
01:08:47,045 --> 01:08:49,245
<i>The night makes it...</i>

481
01:10:06,885 --> 01:10:07,885
Mario.

482
01:10:10,085 --> 01:10:12,485
<i>I was born on the same day
as my cousin Elisa,</i>

483
01:10:12,565 --> 01:10:14,285
<i>but seven years later,</i>

484
01:10:14,365 --> 01:10:17,365
after my mother had already married
an English protestant.

485
01:10:17,445 --> 01:10:18,885
Saint George's Church, A Coruña

486
01:10:18,965 --> 01:10:21,085
This can't be, my son. It cannot be!

487
01:10:21,605 --> 01:10:24,965
I know, Father, I know,
but the circumstances...

488
01:10:26,725 --> 01:10:29,285
All the records were lost
and I was never baptized

489
01:10:29,365 --> 01:10:31,885
because my stepfather, Mr. Hobbs,
was opposed it.

490
01:10:32,485 --> 01:10:35,365
When I was eight, they took me to England,
and after that...

491
01:10:39,085 --> 01:10:41,005
Do you know what my dream is, Father?

492
01:10:43,685 --> 01:10:46,925
My only dream
now that I'm finally home is...

493
01:10:48,045 --> 01:10:50,885
to be baptized, and then marry Marcela.

494
01:10:51,085 --> 01:10:54,405
Immediately, my son. Tomorrow.

495
01:10:55,485 --> 01:10:57,125
- Really, Father?
- Yes.

496
01:11:23,365 --> 01:11:26,525
JUNE, 1901

497
01:11:26,605 --> 01:11:27,605
Mario...

498
01:11:28,125 --> 01:11:32,685
Do you take Marcela, here present,
to be your lawfully wedded wife,

499
01:11:32,765 --> 01:11:35,565
according to the rite
of our Holy Mother Church?

500
01:11:36,045 --> 01:11:37,845
If so, answer "I do."

501
01:11:39,965 --> 01:11:40,965
I do.

502
01:11:41,685 --> 01:11:42,765
Marcela...

503
01:11:43,685 --> 01:11:47,605
Do you take Mario, here present,
to be your lawfully wedded husband,

504
01:11:47,685 --> 01:11:50,485
according to the rite
of our Holy Mother Church?

505
01:11:50,685 --> 01:11:53,045
If so, answer "I do."

506
01:11:54,885 --> 01:11:55,765
I do.

507
01:11:55,845 --> 01:11:57,885
I now declare you man and wife,

508
01:11:57,965 --> 01:11:59,525
in the name of the Father,

509
01:11:59,845 --> 01:12:00,965
the Son,

510
01:12:01,405 --> 01:12:04,085
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

511
01:12:04,165 --> 01:12:05,165
Amen.

512
01:13:50,725 --> 01:13:52,565
...and she will listen to me.

513
01:13:52,645 --> 01:13:53,645
Come on.

514
01:14:12,885 --> 01:14:14,205
What can I do for you?

515
01:14:14,285 --> 01:14:15,605
Marcela, my child...

516
01:14:16,365 --> 01:14:18,125
we heard that you got married.

517
01:14:18,485 --> 01:14:19,485
Yes, Father.

518
01:14:19,885 --> 01:14:20,885
In A Coruña.

519
01:14:21,885 --> 01:14:23,245
At St. George's Church.

520
01:14:23,645 --> 01:14:25,325
Father Cortiella married us.

521
01:14:27,205 --> 01:14:29,405
And... could we meet your husband?

522
01:14:31,645 --> 01:14:32,965
He's resting.

523
01:14:34,085 --> 01:14:35,285
It will just be a moment.

524
01:14:38,725 --> 01:14:40,365
Look, Marcela...

525
01:14:41,445 --> 01:14:42,925
We have been told that...

526
01:14:44,925 --> 01:14:46,605
as strange as this sounds...

527
01:14:49,805 --> 01:14:51,365
that you are married to...

528
01:14:52,965 --> 01:14:53,965
to Elisa.

529
01:14:54,525 --> 01:14:56,605
To Elisa dressed as a man.

530
01:14:57,965 --> 01:14:59,045
That's absurd!

531
01:14:59,405 --> 01:15:00,965
To Elisa dressed as a man?

532
01:15:02,605 --> 01:15:03,845
That's why you're all here?

533
01:15:06,605 --> 01:15:07,685
His name is Mario.

534
01:15:08,165 --> 01:15:09,405
He's Elisa's cousin.

535
01:15:10,845 --> 01:15:13,405
They're first cousins,
they look very alike.

536
01:15:13,765 --> 01:15:15,245
They're almost identical.

537
01:15:17,005 --> 01:15:19,165
- Anything else?
- You should ask him to come out.

538
01:15:20,565 --> 01:15:21,685
I ought to...

539
01:15:22,645 --> 01:15:23,765
examine him.

540
01:15:25,125 --> 01:15:26,805
Examine him closely.

541
01:15:28,485 --> 01:15:30,405
Why do you meddle in other people's lives?

542
01:15:31,965 --> 01:15:35,925
Is there no one who needs their last rites
or treatment for a cold?

543
01:15:38,525 --> 01:15:39,965
Want to know something, Father?

544
01:15:40,365 --> 01:15:43,965
Something that persuades you
that Mario is a man, and you as well.

545
01:15:45,125 --> 01:15:47,205
In a few months, you'll see for yourself.

546
01:15:48,285 --> 01:15:49,285
I'm having a baby.

547
01:15:50,925 --> 01:15:52,005
Mario's child,

548
01:15:52,085 --> 01:15:53,205
my husband's child.

549
01:15:54,445 --> 01:15:56,565
I hope you will baptize him, Father.

550
01:15:58,125 --> 01:15:59,285
Now leave.

551
01:15:59,365 --> 01:16:01,205
The weather is turning quite nasty.

552
01:16:27,205 --> 01:16:29,405
We'll have to leave
sooner than we thought.

553
01:16:38,005 --> 01:16:40,725
If only we could go
to Buenos Aires tomorrow.

554
01:17:12,885 --> 01:17:14,845
I'm tired, I'm going to lie down.

555
01:17:17,645 --> 01:17:19,525
Elisa, come out if you're a man!

556
01:17:19,605 --> 01:17:21,005
Come out, you whore!

557
01:17:21,085 --> 01:17:24,365
Whore! Come out, you whore!

558
01:17:28,245 --> 01:17:29,245
Whore!

559
01:17:34,205 --> 01:17:35,565
Whore!

560
01:17:38,205 --> 01:17:39,285
Are you all right?

561
01:18:21,485 --> 01:18:24,445
PASSENGER LIST

562
01:18:28,965 --> 01:18:31,405
I suppose you know why I sent for you.

563
01:18:33,925 --> 01:18:35,245
They're lies, Father.

564
01:18:35,805 --> 01:18:37,005
Nothing but lies.

565
01:18:37,965 --> 01:18:41,205
People in Dumbría invent all kinds
of things to damge our reputation.

566
01:18:43,325 --> 01:18:44,685
It's a blatant lie.

567
01:18:45,765 --> 01:18:48,365
Do you realize the position
you've put me in?

568
01:18:49,525 --> 01:18:52,125
Do you realize
that what you two have done...

569
01:18:53,405 --> 01:18:54,925
is a complete lie?

570
01:18:55,365 --> 01:18:59,445
And that you and that wretched woman
will both rot in hell!

571
01:19:04,565 --> 01:19:05,725
Father, please.

572
01:19:09,205 --> 01:19:10,725
I have no choice...

573
01:19:12,445 --> 01:19:14,205
but to do this, Mario,

574
01:19:15,285 --> 01:19:17,005
or whoever the hell you are!

575
01:19:18,205 --> 01:19:19,405
Guards!

576
01:19:39,045 --> 01:19:41,045
Father, I'll begin.

577
01:19:53,765 --> 01:19:55,645
Don't do this, Father, please.

578
01:19:56,045 --> 01:19:57,605
I beg you, don't do this.

579
01:19:57,685 --> 01:19:58,885
If you are a man...

580
01:19:59,565 --> 01:20:00,565
prove it.

581
01:20:08,365 --> 01:20:09,365
Please.

582
01:20:09,605 --> 01:20:10,605
No!

583
01:20:13,485 --> 01:20:16,405
I'm a hermaphrodite, I swear!
I'm a hermaphrodite!

584
01:20:16,565 --> 01:20:18,085
Damn you, woman.

585
01:20:18,365 --> 01:20:20,645
The fury of all the archangels

586
01:20:20,725 --> 01:20:22,965
shall fall on you and on your...

587
01:20:24,165 --> 01:20:25,365
on that woman!

588
01:20:34,725 --> 01:20:35,805
She's my wife...

589
01:20:37,725 --> 01:20:39,165
and her name is Marcela.

590
01:20:42,005 --> 01:20:44,365
<i>Read the story of Elisa and Marcela,</i>

591
01:20:44,445 --> 01:20:45,925
a marriage without a man.

592
01:21:06,925 --> 01:21:07,925
Look at this.

593
01:21:08,845 --> 01:21:10,925
This isn't what human beings do.

594
01:21:17,645 --> 01:21:18,965
Did you see this?

595
01:21:19,045 --> 01:21:21,165
What about the priest?

596
01:21:23,845 --> 01:21:24,685
It's astonishing.

597
01:21:24,765 --> 01:21:25,765
Good evening.

598
01:21:41,965 --> 01:21:43,285
Okay, all in order.

599
01:21:45,645 --> 01:21:46,485
You can go.

600
01:21:46,565 --> 01:21:48,285
Good night. You may go on.

601
01:21:48,365 --> 01:21:49,685
Good night. Thank you.

602
01:22:51,565 --> 01:22:57,965
PORTO. DECEMBER, 1901

603
01:23:23,365 --> 01:23:24,965
The chicken! In the oven!

604
01:23:25,205 --> 01:23:26,405
The cod is ready!

605
01:23:32,485 --> 01:23:34,125
Hey, hey!

606
01:23:35,085 --> 01:23:37,285
What's this? Wake up!

607
01:23:51,765 --> 01:23:53,245
How much are we short?

608
01:23:56,805 --> 01:23:58,485
We've got enough for one fare.

609
01:24:06,165 --> 01:24:07,325
In two months...

610
01:24:13,285 --> 01:24:14,365
Two months.

611
01:24:33,285 --> 01:24:37,005
<i>Severa has passed away</i>

612
01:24:37,565 --> 01:24:41,485
<i>Severa has passed away</i>

613
01:24:42,525 --> 01:24:45,845
<i>Severa has passed away</i>

614
01:24:46,565 --> 01:24:50,205
<i>Severa has passed away</i>

615
01:24:51,085 --> 01:24:54,685
<i>And the streets of Mouraria</i>

616
01:24:55,245 --> 01:24:59,445
<i>Weep with anger and pain</i>

617
01:24:59,965 --> 01:25:03,245
<i>And the streets of Mouraria</i>

618
01:25:03,845 --> 01:25:07,925
<i>Weep with anger and pain</i>

619
01:25:08,285 --> 01:25:11,685
<i>A black shawl, a black shawl</i>

620
01:25:12,205 --> 01:25:15,885
<i>Black like the new moon</i>

621
01:25:17,085 --> 01:25:20,765
<i>A black shawl, a black shawl</i>

622
01:25:21,405 --> 01:25:24,925
<i>Black like the new moon</i>

623
01:25:25,685 --> 01:25:29,245
<i>As black as the darkest night</i>

624
01:25:29,605 --> 01:25:32,245
<i>As black as the darkest night</i>

625
01:26:01,405 --> 01:26:04,845
You two are under arrest
in the name of the Portuguese government.

626
01:26:05,805 --> 01:26:06,925
No.

627
01:26:07,845 --> 01:26:09,325
She hasn't done anything!

628
01:26:11,645 --> 01:26:13,125
She hasn't done anything!

629
01:26:19,525 --> 01:26:20,845
Be careful, she's...

630
01:26:20,925 --> 01:26:22,485
Shut up and keep moving!

631
01:27:23,685 --> 01:27:24,765
Come on, walk!

632
01:27:28,565 --> 01:27:33,925
Here I have a lawsuit
from the Court of A Coruña...

633
01:27:35,085 --> 01:27:39,325
which says that you are
a woman called Elisa,

634
01:27:40,445 --> 01:27:43,605
and that, with a false identity,

635
01:27:43,685 --> 01:27:47,165
you managed to get married to Marcela...

636
01:27:48,365 --> 01:27:49,485
and entered Portugal.

637
01:27:51,445 --> 01:27:52,445
I'm Mario.

638
01:27:54,725 --> 01:27:56,445
Please, I don't have all day.

639
01:27:57,965 --> 01:28:02,765
What is this comedy that you
and this woman have concocted?

640
01:28:03,165 --> 01:28:05,085
That woman is my wife.

641
01:28:06,365 --> 01:28:11,605
You Spaniards are always so stubborn,
so pig-headed, so loud-mouthed.

642
01:28:18,165 --> 01:28:20,765
Please, sir, she... my wife...

643
01:28:21,885 --> 01:28:23,805
has nothing to do with all this.

644
01:28:24,485 --> 01:28:25,565
She knows nothing.

645
01:28:26,085 --> 01:28:28,765
She thinks that I'm a hermaphrodite,
that I...

646
01:28:30,285 --> 01:28:31,725
Please, stop,

647
01:28:31,805 --> 01:28:34,765
Elisa, Mario, whatever your name is.

648
01:28:35,365 --> 01:28:38,885
I'm not an ignorant parish priest
from a village in Galicia

649
01:28:38,965 --> 01:28:42,165
who you and your friend
can fool that easily.

650
01:28:46,885 --> 01:28:49,445
If I tell the guards right now...

651
01:28:50,005 --> 01:28:52,405
to take you to the men's prison cell,

652
01:28:53,245 --> 01:28:56,485
how long do you think it will take them
to find out what you are?

653
01:28:57,765 --> 01:28:58,765
How long?

654
01:29:06,765 --> 01:29:07,765
Not long...

655
01:29:08,565 --> 01:29:09,565
I guess.

656
01:29:28,365 --> 01:29:29,765
Are you pregnant?

657
01:29:32,045 --> 01:29:33,045
Yes?

658
01:29:33,605 --> 01:29:34,645
Come.

659
01:29:35,165 --> 01:29:36,165
Come here.

660
01:29:44,085 --> 01:29:45,085
Eat.

661
01:30:10,845 --> 01:30:12,405
What will happen to us?

662
01:30:16,685 --> 01:30:18,045
What are we accused of?

663
01:30:19,285 --> 01:30:20,645
Transvestism.

664
01:30:23,205 --> 01:30:24,325
Blasphemy.

665
01:30:27,525 --> 01:30:29,525
Falsifying documents.

666
01:30:30,805 --> 01:30:33,365
And your friend is accused
of being an accomplice.

667
01:30:33,725 --> 01:30:36,005
That's just across the border.

668
01:30:36,605 --> 01:30:39,445
But first, you have to answer
the charges on this side.

669
01:30:40,005 --> 01:30:41,405
You'll be tried here,

670
01:30:41,605 --> 01:30:45,325
and then transferred to Galicia.

671
01:30:48,685 --> 01:30:51,925
It's all my fault.
Marcela is innocent, I swear.

672
01:30:56,565 --> 01:30:58,205
She's expecting a child.

673
01:31:01,565 --> 01:31:02,605
A child?

674
01:31:09,965 --> 01:31:11,405
Put a dress on.

675
01:31:11,565 --> 01:31:14,165
I'll tell them to put you
in the women's building.

676
01:31:24,325 --> 01:31:25,565
Can I be with her?

677
01:31:26,125 --> 01:31:27,125
Yes.

678
01:31:30,885 --> 01:31:31,885
Thank you.

679
01:31:34,685 --> 01:31:36,205
You're a good person.

680
01:31:36,725 --> 01:31:37,725
You're welcome.

681
01:31:37,805 --> 01:31:40,925
That's what my wife says
when she's about to upset me.

682
01:31:42,325 --> 01:31:43,605
Go, go, go.

683
01:31:44,365 --> 01:31:45,365
Leave.

684
01:31:45,405 --> 01:31:47,405
Before I regret it

685
01:31:47,485 --> 01:31:49,565
and lock you up with those savages.

686
01:31:59,085 --> 01:32:00,085
Go on.

687
01:32:19,605 --> 01:32:20,685
Marcela.

688
01:32:26,645 --> 01:32:27,645
Mario.

689
01:32:29,485 --> 01:32:30,565
I'm Elisa.

690
01:32:35,845 --> 01:32:36,845
Elisa.

691
01:33:12,165 --> 01:33:13,765
What's going to happen now?

692
01:33:25,965 --> 01:33:26,965
I don't know.

693
01:33:44,125 --> 01:33:45,725
But we're together.

694
01:33:50,045 --> 01:33:51,205
Together, yes.

695
01:34:02,005 --> 01:34:03,165
Forgive me.

696
01:34:10,565 --> 01:34:12,325
I said I would protect you...

697
01:34:13,685 --> 01:34:16,005
- and look where we are.
- No, Elisa, shh.

698
01:34:18,445 --> 01:34:20,125
You don't have to apologize.

699
01:34:27,565 --> 01:34:28,885
We'll get out of here.

700
01:34:34,285 --> 01:34:36,645
We should have left a long time ago.

701
01:34:44,085 --> 01:34:45,165
Maybe.

702
01:34:51,645 --> 01:34:53,925
I'm scared that our baby
will be born here.

703
01:35:03,005 --> 01:35:04,645
The warden will help us.

704
01:35:06,605 --> 01:35:08,165
He seems to be a good man.

705
01:35:12,445 --> 01:35:14,725
We need more than just a good man.

706
01:35:38,165 --> 01:35:39,165
Keep still.

707
01:35:43,565 --> 01:35:44,565
Perfect.

708
01:35:45,365 --> 01:35:46,365
Ready?

709
01:36:03,245 --> 01:36:06,325
Have you read about
those two women that got married?

710
01:36:07,245 --> 01:36:12,445
If we send them back to Spain, they'll be
sentenced to prison for 20 years.

711
01:36:21,205 --> 01:36:24,125
It was made with great affection.
Please give this to them.

712
01:36:24,205 --> 01:36:25,805
Of course, I'll deliver it to them.

713
01:36:25,885 --> 01:36:28,365
I have a gift for the child
of the Spanish women.

714
01:36:28,445 --> 01:36:30,285
Please give them this.

715
01:36:35,605 --> 01:36:36,805
It brings good luck.

716
01:36:41,885 --> 01:36:44,845
That's enough touching.
Let's have some order here.

717
01:36:48,765 --> 01:36:49,765
Elisa...

718
01:36:56,685 --> 01:36:57,685
It's coming!

719
01:37:01,005 --> 01:37:02,085
Are you sure?

720
01:37:02,805 --> 01:37:03,805
Yes.

721
01:37:09,245 --> 01:37:11,365
There's the head. It's coming!

722
01:37:11,445 --> 01:37:13,245
Breathe.

723
01:37:13,405 --> 01:37:16,285
Look, here it comes! Go, push.

724
01:37:17,645 --> 01:37:20,245
Push hard! Come on!

725
01:37:21,885 --> 01:37:24,965
Now, this is it. One last time!

726
01:37:51,685 --> 01:37:53,005
So much hair!

727
01:37:53,085 --> 01:37:54,085
Right?

728
01:37:54,965 --> 01:37:56,685
Hello.

729
01:38:13,845 --> 01:38:15,525
Oh, nice and healthy.

730
01:38:16,205 --> 01:38:17,805
A girl. It's a girl.

731
01:38:17,885 --> 01:38:19,245
What's her name?

732
01:38:19,525 --> 01:38:21,325
- Ana.
- Oh, she's beautiful.

733
01:38:21,445 --> 01:38:24,325
GOVERNOR'S PALACE, PORTO

734
01:38:25,045 --> 01:38:28,805
Commissioner, what's this story about
the two Spanish women that got married?

735
01:38:28,885 --> 01:38:32,245
My wife won't stop going on about it.

736
01:38:34,085 --> 01:38:36,405
She even wants to visit them in prison.

737
01:38:37,765 --> 01:38:39,485
They've had a lot of visitors,

738
01:38:39,565 --> 01:38:40,565
that is true.

739
01:38:42,125 --> 01:38:44,605
The Spanish authorities are pressuring me.

740
01:38:45,565 --> 01:38:47,485
They want to try them in A Coruña.

741
01:38:47,845 --> 01:38:50,445
I think they want to make
an example of them both.

742
01:38:51,685 --> 01:38:54,885
They're not criminals,
they're two women who are...

743
01:38:54,965 --> 01:38:55,965
Stupid.

744
01:38:59,085 --> 01:39:00,725
This cod is so bland.

745
01:39:04,645 --> 01:39:06,085
What's the current situation?

746
01:39:07,445 --> 01:39:09,645
One of them gave birth
to a baby girl in prison.

747
01:39:10,045 --> 01:39:11,285
Gave birth in prison?

748
01:39:12,325 --> 01:39:13,565
Just what we needed.

749
01:39:16,005 --> 01:39:17,005
Governor...

750
01:39:17,485 --> 01:39:20,085
If we hand them over
to the Spanish authorities,

751
01:39:20,165 --> 01:39:22,005
they'll get ten to 20 years in jail.

752
01:39:29,165 --> 01:39:33,605
Can I count on your esteemed help
so that doesn't happen?

753
01:39:34,365 --> 01:39:35,965
Done legally, of course.

754
01:39:36,965 --> 01:39:39,565
Even if it's just to annoy the Spanish.

755
01:39:42,325 --> 01:39:44,725
Your Excellency, count on me.

756
01:39:48,765 --> 01:39:50,805
Try this cod
and tell me if it isn't bland.

757
01:39:50,885 --> 01:39:52,005
No, thank you, Governor.

758
01:40:08,205 --> 01:40:10,525
We have enough for both fares, Marcela.

759
01:40:11,605 --> 01:40:13,525
As soon as we get out of here...

760
01:40:14,685 --> 01:40:17,325
If we leave here,
they'll hand us over to the authorities.

761
01:40:24,605 --> 01:40:26,205
Something's wrong with her.

762
01:40:26,365 --> 01:40:27,365
It's the humidity...

763
01:40:28,845 --> 01:40:29,845
and this place.

764
01:40:37,605 --> 01:40:38,605
Give her to me.

765
01:40:38,685 --> 01:40:39,685
No.

766
01:40:42,005 --> 01:40:43,005
What's wrong?

767
01:40:46,325 --> 01:40:48,525
Come here.

768
01:40:55,045 --> 01:40:56,085
She's burning up.

769
01:41:02,005 --> 01:41:03,085
A doctor!

770
01:41:03,605 --> 01:41:05,405
We need a doctor!

771
01:41:06,565 --> 01:41:08,165
It's the baby! A doctor!

772
01:41:22,565 --> 01:41:23,765
Shh, calm down.

773
01:41:35,765 --> 01:41:36,765
Listen...

774
01:41:38,525 --> 01:41:39,925
The baby has pneumonia.

775
01:41:40,365 --> 01:41:42,765
We have to lower her fever or she'll die.

776
01:41:42,845 --> 01:41:44,805
They can come with me to my house.

777
01:41:46,885 --> 01:41:48,125
Let's go to my house.

778
01:42:29,445 --> 01:42:30,445
Get some sleep.

779
01:42:43,205 --> 01:42:45,165
- Well?
- How are they?

780
01:42:45,685 --> 01:42:47,005
I think she's out of danger.

781
01:42:48,685 --> 01:42:49,965
Now they're sleeping.

782
01:42:54,285 --> 01:42:55,885
The baby is very beautiful.

783
01:42:57,405 --> 01:43:00,045
I can't thank you enough
for everything you've done for us.

784
01:43:01,525 --> 01:43:03,045
It's a privilege to have met you.

785
01:43:05,445 --> 01:43:07,085
Most people wouldn't say that.

786
01:43:08,605 --> 01:43:10,525
We're not most people.

787
01:43:11,285 --> 01:43:12,285
Right?

788
01:43:15,165 --> 01:43:16,165
Right.

789
01:43:19,485 --> 01:43:20,885
You don't have children?

790
01:43:21,365 --> 01:43:22,365
No.

791
01:43:47,885 --> 01:43:50,645
I can't detain you two any longer, Elisa.

792
01:43:52,245 --> 01:43:54,645
But if I let you go, you'll be deported.

793
01:43:54,725 --> 01:43:55,725
I know.

794
01:44:08,565 --> 01:44:10,285
If I were to let you go...

795
01:44:10,925 --> 01:44:12,365
This is only an example.

796
01:44:13,205 --> 01:44:15,805
...the day before the boat leaves.

797
01:44:16,125 --> 01:44:19,525
And on the release papers,
I put a date of, let's say...

798
01:44:20,485 --> 01:44:22,325
two days later.

799
01:44:27,005 --> 01:44:29,565
But first we have to let them recover.

800
01:44:30,285 --> 01:44:31,285
Yes.

801
01:44:35,045 --> 01:44:37,365
Oh, you earn more.

802
01:44:37,445 --> 01:44:39,045
More money coming in.

803
01:44:39,845 --> 01:44:41,405
The others don't matter.

804
01:44:43,045 --> 01:44:45,405
We have to find a way to resolve things.

805
01:44:55,365 --> 01:44:56,365
Where's Ana?

806
01:45:02,565 --> 01:45:03,565
She's with Flor.

807
01:45:06,845 --> 01:45:09,765
I asked her to take care of her
until we're ready.

808
01:45:20,525 --> 01:45:21,845
Marcela, are you okay?

809
01:45:22,645 --> 01:45:24,005
Is something wrong?

810
01:45:29,885 --> 01:45:31,885
I thought you'd be happy
that we're leaving.

811
01:45:32,365 --> 01:45:33,365
I am.

812
01:45:34,365 --> 01:45:35,365
Believe me.

813
01:45:40,245 --> 01:45:41,365
You don't seem it.

814
01:45:49,765 --> 01:45:51,965
Soon we'll be out of this prison.

815
01:45:56,245 --> 01:45:57,445
This prison is fine.

816
01:46:02,165 --> 01:46:03,845
The problem is what's outside.

817
01:46:06,445 --> 01:46:08,245
Where we are carnival freaks.

818
01:46:12,165 --> 01:46:13,725
Where people stare at us.

819
01:46:14,645 --> 01:46:16,005
Where they laugh at us.

820
01:46:20,845 --> 01:46:22,285
Where there's no escape.

821
01:46:25,125 --> 01:46:26,565
And there never will be.

822
01:46:32,005 --> 01:46:34,205
That's why we got married
and came up with Mario.

823
01:46:34,285 --> 01:46:35,885
That's why I had my daughter.

824
01:46:40,045 --> 01:46:42,005
I thought they'd believe us then.

825
01:46:47,685 --> 01:46:49,445
How could I do this to my daughter?

826
01:46:52,925 --> 01:46:54,045
How could I?

827
01:47:02,645 --> 01:47:04,005
- My love...
- Elisa.

828
01:47:27,445 --> 01:47:28,445
Listen to me.

829
01:47:33,805 --> 01:47:36,325
Despite the fact
that I love you more than my own life,

830
01:47:40,085 --> 01:47:42,925
if you choose to stay here
with your daughter, I'll understand.

831
01:47:44,165 --> 01:47:46,725
I'll wait for you forever, Marcela.
Forever.

832
01:47:56,725 --> 01:47:58,285
Don't you understand?

833
01:48:03,405 --> 01:48:06,445
She's the one I'm leaving behind. Her.

834
01:48:27,285 --> 01:48:28,285
Thank you.

835
01:48:35,445 --> 01:48:38,925
Elisa, tell her that we'll tell the child
who her mother is.

836
01:48:39,885 --> 01:48:41,085
Yes, I'll tell her.

837
01:48:44,565 --> 01:48:45,565
Look after her...

838
01:48:46,485 --> 01:48:47,925
and look after yourself.

839
01:50:28,245 --> 01:50:30,285
I hated you, you know?

840
01:50:34,925 --> 01:50:36,565
For many years.

841
01:50:39,245 --> 01:50:42,085
- I can imagine.
- But they were very good parents.

842
01:50:43,325 --> 01:50:44,485
The best.

843
01:50:50,325 --> 01:50:51,565
I knew they would be.

844
01:51:00,085 --> 01:51:01,365
Was it worth it?

845
01:51:03,965 --> 01:51:04,965
All this?

846
01:51:07,045 --> 01:51:09,285
The wedding, the mockery?

847
01:51:11,045 --> 01:51:12,085
Going to prison?

848
01:51:14,485 --> 01:51:15,725
Abandoning me?

849
01:51:19,485 --> 01:51:20,805
Was it worth it?

850
01:52:19,685 --> 01:52:22,805
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
WAS LEGALIZED IN SPAIN IN 2005.

851
01:52:22,885 --> 01:52:25,845
TODAY, IT IS LEGAL IN ONLY 25 COUNTRIES
ACROSS THE WORLD.

852
01:52:25,925 --> 01:52:28,085
IN 72 COUNTRIES,
HOMOSEXUALITY IS CRIMINALIZED:

853
01:52:28,165 --> 01:52:31,045
IN 14 OF THEM, IT IS PUNISHED
WITH 14 YEARS TO LIFE IN PRISON.

854
01:52:31,125 --> 01:52:35,445
IN 13 OF THEM, WITH THE DEATH PENALTY.

855
01:52:35,525 --> 01:52:42,525
ELISA AND MARCELA'S MARRIAGE
WAS NEVER ANNULLED.
