A Walk In The Clouds

Of Victoria's life.

Now that you are a part

of all this, a part of us...

...it is the root of your life.

You are an orphan no longer.

So you will stay with your family...

...while we harvest the fruit.

It's a special time.

It's a time of magic!

I really can't.

I have commitments.

What about the commitments

to your family?

- What can be more important than that?

- I would like to, really.

But I can't.

He said you would not stay.

- Who did?

- Alberto.

He said, "The first chance

that gringo gets...

...he will leave her."

- His exact words.

- I'm not leaving her...

No, I understand.

It's just my poor granddaughter.

He will whip her with it.

She'll be the one to pay

for your "commitments."

Such a pity.

Such a sweet girl.

- It's just the difference of a day.

- Our most important day.

The day that makes

or breaks our fortunes.

That's what he will throw up to her.

For the rest of her life!

I know...

...my son.

Don Pedro.

You're right.

It's only one day. I'll stay.

Right.

May I?

It's a good thing. You have

no more chocolates to sell anyway.

Come on.

- I thought you were leaving.

- It's better for you if I stay.

- At least until the harvest.

- Don't you have chocolates to sell?

Family comes first.

Hey, everybody. I'm home!

Hiya, sis!

Hi, Jose.

Hi, Grandpa.

Hi, Grandma.

My favorite chili's ready?

- Hi, Mom.

- At last!

Hi, Pop. Sorry I'm late.

This is my husband, Paul Sutton.

Paul, my brother.

You got hitched?

That's swell!

Victoria Sutton. I like that.

- Welcome to the family. I'm Pete.

- Thanks.

Who is "Pete"?

- Pa, come on.

- I don't know any Pete.

I pay a fortune

to Stanford University...

...for a Pedro Alberto

Aragon Limantour.

Maybe I'm paying for the wrong person,

and I should stop the check.

- Glad to meet you, Pedro.

- Can we begin now?

Make sure he knows what to do.

We don't want him cutting himself

and getting blood on the grapes.

It'll ruin the taste of the wine.

Aren't you happy you stayed?

Come on!

- How do they feel?

- They're a little big.

Like family, you must live in clothes

for a while before they fit.

- But you are doing great.

- Not everyone would agree.

It's not easy being in charge.

It wasn't for me.

It's not easy for him.

Every man must find his own way.

But I have faith in my son.

And I have faith in you.

But your fly is open.

My wife's family, the Aztecs...

...believe that you must

have permission...

...of the four winds to harvest

what the earth gives.

Isn't she beautiful?

Come on, you're a married woman now!

What about Pedro?

- He's not married.

- Neither are we.

I want you more than anything.

You can't imagine how I want you.

But I'm not free.

I won't hurt you that way.

I won't.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- We can lead the market, not chase it.

- Where's my hat?

Raise money through

limited partnerships.

- Hi, Paul.

- Hi, Pedro. Good morning, Mr. Aragon.

- So, what do you think, Pop?

- About what?

Modernizing the operation,

limited partnerships?

- A partner equals trouble.

- You can always borrow from the bank.

Listen, just because you harvested

a few grapes doesn't give you a say.

Stick to your candy and keep

your nose out of our business.

Now, tell me what's going on here.

That you sleep one night on the floor,

the next on the couch?

You'll use any excuse to make him

feel unwelcome, won't you?

There's something wrong here.

This whole thing smells wrong.

A girl comes home with

a husband nobody ever heard of...

...with her suitcase as full

as when she went away.

Like she has no place else to go.

Where's my hat?

You don't want me here? I'll leave.

- Is that what you want?

- I want the truth.

- That's what I want.

- No, you don't.

The truth you want

is the truth according to you.

That's the only truth you accept.

Try me.

The truth is, she came home

because she loves her family.

I told you, stay out of our business.

She is my business.

You were looking for this?

Senora!

Thank you, but I don't have time.

- It smells!

- I have to leave. I have business.

Don Pedro has finished

your business, no?

And besides, you must see it through.

- See what through?

- Your fate. What brought you here.

Nothing brought me here.

I brought me here.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Let me help you.

- No, we had a plan.

You were to stay one night

and go back to your wife.

- Stick to the plan.

- I can't leave you like this.

And tomorrow?

Will you stay tomorrow too?

And the day after that?

Go home, Paul.

You still have a wife.

- Here. Leave it at the station.

- Please.

You can't help me anymore!

No one can help me.

It's not your problem.

It's not my problem.

I can't leave.

I can't.

Don't think just because

you married her...

...any of this is yours.

If you married her at all.

- What do you mean?

- I wasn't there.

I didn't see a wedding,

or even a wedding certificate.

And don't think that just because

I speak with an accent...

...I think with an accent.

For the four years

that I've been at war...

...I had to keep myself closed off.

- What's your reason?

- What are you talking about?

- Reason for what?

- Shutting Victoria out of your heart.

Can't you see how amazing she is?

How alive?

I dream of getting the kind

of love she tries to give you.

I would die for what you have.

Why can't you just love her?

She's so easy to love.

You know nothing about my daughter!

You hear me? Nothing!

I know that she is good and strong...

...and deserves all the love this

world has to give. Can't you see?

How wonderful,

how special she is?

You see this?

This land? This vineyard?

This is 365 days a year.

Who do you think I do this for?

For them.

All of them! I love my family!

You should let them know.

Paul? Hey, Paul.

Brandy!

The finest.

I made it myself...

...21 years ago.

The secret about brandy is age.

The secret of everything...

...is age.

Hija, are you all right?

He only went to work.

He will come back.

What the hell is that?

My uniform.

Of course.

Newlyweds!

What else do they do

but make love and war?

- Did you talk to her?

- I tried.

Wouldn't make a difference.

Talking between men and women...

...never solves anything.

Where we think...

...they feel.

They are creatures of the heart.

Please, sit down.

No, no. Please, come on.

Give me that.

- I'll miss my bus again.

- Make yourself comfortable.

Tomorrow we go to the festival

for the wine blessing.

The bus will be there.

I have the perfect solution for you.

Thank you.

Isn't that the most romantic thing

you ever heard?

- Maybe it loses a bit on translation.

- No, no.

Now you sing.

It's all right.

You did wonderful. Let's let

the experts do it themselves.

You're a gringo.

Nice, but still a gringo.

The heart you are talking to

is Mexican.

You speak to it in

the language it understands.

You...

You be strong.

You stand right here.

Right here.

No, no. You've had enough.

All right. You boys,
