shop to get the pipe.

Otherwise, you won't

have any water.

Good morning!

Something wrong?

Hi, I really don't know.

Something must have broken,

I pulled over to check.

Don't worry!

I'll check it for you.

Thank you.

Is it serious?

No, just the fan belt.

It's broken.

And it needs to be welded, see?

They must have

welded it wrong.

That was my dad,

it's his car.

Is it easy to repair?

If I had a soldering iron...

I have one.

It's at the ranch. They are

always welding there.

It's 150 km away.

We'll have

to tow the car.

We'll have to hook

it up and tow it.

But it's 150 km.

It's not so close.

Do you have the time?

Time is what

I have most of.

Are you living in the area?

No, I am living

in Buenos Aires.

I was born in Telken.

I am from the Patagonia,

though I don't look like it.

May I smoke?

Please.

- Would you like one?

- Thanks, I don't smoke.

I want to smoke while I can...

because my mother

doesn't let me smoke.

It's unbelievable. I am 33,

and she still rags on me.

And now your dad will

rag on you about the car.

No, my dad is dead.

I am sorry.

Don't worry. He's been dead

since a year and a half now.

And what do you do?

I used to work

at a gas station.

Now I am making

knife handles.

Knives?

Have a look, they

are in my bag.

They are beautiful.

What is it made from?

This is a special wood.

From the jungles,

in Misiones.

A friend of mine who lives

there sent me the wood.

And this one looks like a face.

It's a puma's head.

You are a real artist!

No, well...

Thank you.

I am going to see mom,

she must be very worried.

Where is the soldering iron?

It must be in the shed.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon, ma'am.

How do you do? Villegas.

A pleasure.

So my daughter has

dragged you out here.

Don't worry, ma'am.

It's not unusual.

Especially on the highway.

When she sets her

mind to something...

She's so stubborn.

She insisted on driving

to Comodoro to sell it.

If the car is not being

used, it'll get ruined.

But this is not

just any car, is it?

It's a good car.

That's why!

So you cannot sell it

just like that.

Is it complicated?

Mom, just the pulley

needs soldering.

Let the man explain it to me.

I have to solder the

pulley, and that's it.

Then I put it back and...

Is it gonna be expensive?

Because, nowadays...

I don't know yet.

We'll see to that later,

when you sell it.

To make up for the nuisance,

you must stay with us for tea.

See all these?

All homemade.

It's very difficult

to find it in the city.

It's delicious.

Dad was an expert on

red currant jam, wasn't he?

I could never make it

as good as he could.

Try the brownies.

Those there.

The recipe is

from a local family.

I'm gonna prepare

two jars of jam...

for you to take.

Well, thanks.

- And what did your husband do?

. -What didn't he do!

Everything but politics.

Yes, but he always

liked to be well-informed.

He brought the Hereford

cattle to Patagonia...

for the first time.

He created a lodge

for hunting wild boar.

He cultivated

berries.

He always had to

have a project going on,

he couldn't sit still.

But he lived a happy life,

in his own way.

The last thing was the dogs.

He wanted to build an Argentine

Dogo Kennels. For export.

But, he didn't have the time.

Have you ever seen them?

Big, white dogs.

I think so, yes.

In fact, they are

fighting dogs.

If you raise them

that way...

If not, like any creature,

they are as good as gold.

But, genetically they

were created to fight.

Nobody is born bad.

They are not bad,

but wild.

No, they are hunting animals.

Tell me,

would you like to

take one with you?

A dog?

I assure you

when you see it...

you will say yes.

The thing is lately I haven't

been doing well, economically...

and to maintain a dog...

They are country dogs,

My husband bought it

to start up the kennels.

But he died soon after

the dog arrived.

It's the son of

a famous dog.

Of a grand champion.

He's a great breed.

I have the papers.

It breaks my heart,

to see him

lying there all day long.

But I am not in shape

for taking care of a dog.

Have a look at it.

It maybe good company

for a man who is alone.

Now he looks sad,

but he was so playful

by the time he'd arrived.

I would be very happy if a

person like you would take him.

Here are the papers.

The name of his father:

"Quilapn de los Andes".

A grand champion.

The inscription number,

the vaccines.

And here it is,

Kennels "Le Chien".

"Le Chien" because my

husband was French.

An extraordinary dog.

Come with me.

Watch the trench.

It's not finished.

Come in.

KENNELS "LE CHIEN"

And? What do you think?

He's a posh dog, isn't he?

Come on down.

Coming down...

Let's go home.

Come on, Lechien.

Let's go home.

Come on.

Mom, come and see!

What are you talking about?

A white dog, for real.

Where did it come from?

Dad, where did

this dog come from?

It's tied up,

he won't do any harm.

What is it doing here?

I brought it here.

How come you did that?

Have you gone mad?

Tucumano!

Take the dog out of here!

Never in your f***ing life

did you want a dog.

Now suddenly

you want a dog!

What happened to you,

are you senile?

Tucumano, take

that dog out of here.

I can't even hang the clothes.

I don't want dogs here.

Understand?

I don't want dogs here.

- I've filled it with $20.

- Thanks.

That man there,

wants to talk to you.

- Who?

- There, that man.

Good afternoon.

Is that dog yours?

I have a wool warehouse

and I need some security.

For three or four days...

Until they take the wool out.

I never leave the dog alone.

No, I'll hire you as

a security guard...

with the dog.

I'll give $30 per day.

What do you say?

Maybe, yes.

Follow me.

If Galvan comes, my former

guard, and he is drunk...

don't let him in.

If he wants to

collect his stuff,

tell him to come tomorrow

afternoon when I am here.

If he insists, you set

the dog on him.

I don't object to that.

Come in.

Let the dog loose.

I better keep him nearby.

You know best.

You will stay here.

It's a bit dirty...

But, come in.

There's a heater,

some food.

And now, please help

me shut the main door.

Open up or III kill you!

Open up, you!

Open up, son of a b*tch!

Calm down!

Down, Lechien!

Lechien, sit!

Sit.

Get the

dog away from me.

Please.

- Are you Galvan?

- Yes.

I have orders

not to let you in.

Come and must pick up

your stuff in the afternoon.

I can't come in the

afternoon, my friend.

These are my orders.

It's just a few things.

I'll take them and go.

It will only take

me ten minutes.

Please, I'm begging you.

In 5 minutes, I'll be out.

Can you take it all?

In a bag or something.

I am out of luck.

Forgive me.

Where are you going?

Galvan is in there,

he wants to talk to you.

Excuse me, you cannot

enter with the dog.

I'll be out in a sec.

Nothing personal, but you can't

go in the bank with a dog.

God!

If I tie him up there,

will you keep an eye on him?
