Camila Page #2

I'll be back for Christmas.

Take care of yourself.

You know,

I'll be so sad when you get married.

Sometimes I think I never will.

That the man I imagine

is only a dream.

Look, child, I'm watching you.

All dressed in white.

Going into the church

with the master.

Rita!

- Long live the federation!

- Long live!

Again?

Like when we were kids!

How long, my God...?

What is it?

- You can't come in.

- What's going on here?

- Let me go through.

- You can't come in, sir.

I'm here to bring the papers

for our wedding.

My God! Who is he?

- Mariano.

- The horror...

- What wrong can a bookman do?

- You never know.

As Rosas say,

avoid shedding 20 thousand.

Why do you leave him there, Father?

Please, do something!

We can't touch him yet.

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

Then, my dear brothers,

let's prepare our hearts...

for the Christmas coming.

Thinking about its deep meaning

I must ask myself...

What happened the other night

at the house of God?

Has Herodes laid Bautista's head

again in the bloody plate?

If some come to destroy and kill,

He come for you to have life.

And so you have it in abundance.

"I'm the good shepherd", He said.

And a good shepherd

gives life to his sheep.

The Father wants not to lose

not even one of them,

as wicked as it may seem,

not even one of them!

Where does this pain

come from now then?

One of our brothers has been

brutally deprived from his life.

And I truly say,

as the Lord said,

that what you do

to the smallest of my brothers...

...you do to me.

It's time to know all kingdom

divided against itself won't last.

That all divided household

will be isolated.

Brothers, let's not fear.

This is the word of God.

There's not law that can

silence this word.

Let's join in prayer.

"Blessed are the meek..."

Blessed are the meek...

"Blessed are those who thirst

and hunger for justice...

because they will be satisfied".

That happens when you put

young priests.

What can he know

about the 1820's?

Nothing.

I find it strange because

of where he's coming from.

A federal family.

His uncle's governor.

He's stubborn.

Doesn't he know who stopped

the foreign invasion?

Rosas did.

Who got order and law back?

Rosas did.

Who defends our sovereignty?

Rosas does.

Just Rosas.

At any cost.

What did you say, Camila?

Nothing, nothing.

That's fine, you can leave.

Repeat what you said, Camila.

Nothing justifies violence.

Unitarians vs. Federals,

Federals vs. Unitarians.

- All my life I heard the same.

- But it's not the same.

I'm not so sure.

What was poor Mariano guilty of?

Selling books!

Eat, Camila.

Shut up and listen.

I think Camila wants to defend

her new confessor.

Yes.

Is it wrong to want to defend

someone with the courage...

to be on life's side?

You must be brave to say

what he said?

Camila, no one raises their voice

in this table.

Leave.

Buenos Aires is a violent city.

I'm sure he just

wanted to protect you.

- Then I must shut up, shouldn't I?

- No, you must be more careful.

That's what I mean.

What's so funny?

The way you find it to tell me

you don't disapprove.

- Is that what I did?

- Yes.

You put my thoughts in order,

Father.

Just like a compass.

I feel good after talking to you.

That's what priests are for.

I don't know what I'd do

if I couldn't talk to you...

about my sorrows.

- And your sins.

- Yes, my sins.

This is a confessional,

let's not forget about that.

I don't.

I'll have to invent many sins.

Your sermon, Father Gutierrez,

has been an unpleasant surprise.

Do I need to remind you

about our weak relations...

with the government?

Don't you know they're trying

to expel the Jesuits?

I'm sorry, Father.

Maybe I was led by indignation.

You, who love quoting the Bible,

have forgotten what Jesus...

said to his disciples.

"Since I'm sending you

like sheep amongst wolves...

be as prudent as snakes

and simple as doves".

Not being prudent as a priest

is twice as dangerous.

In any land.

I don't understand, Father.

Don't forget women can be

an instrument of the Devil.

- Father Ladislao!

- Hello, Camila.

I didn't see you.

Father, I brought this for the people

who may need more than me.

I'm sure you know.

Do you really think

this can help the poor?

Why don't you try to put

yourself in their place, Camila.

Beggars don't dress

as rich women.

You don't need to humiliate me.

I'm just trying to be better.

A single woman's a chaos, Camila.

A nature's disorder.

To submit that anarchy

there are only two ways:

The convent...

...or matrimony.

And I don't think you have

the habit calling.

Marriage is order.

Nor people nor a country

can live without order.

- I'm not in love with Ignacio.

- What's that got to do?

Love comes with the years

and not looking between flowers.

You have filled your head

with those foreign books.

Reality is not a French novel.

- Sir...

- I told you no people today!

Father Gutierrez is here, sir.

Bah, let him in.

- Good evening, sir.

- What brings you here at this time?

I came to talk to Eduardo.

Eduardo is at his cousin's.

Would you like a cup

of chocolate, Father?

No, thanks, Joaquina.

I'll leave then.

If you'll excuse me.

Here, Camila.

This was amongst the clothes

you brought to Church.

Keep it, Father.

Maybe this will be good enough

for your poor people.

They'll thank you the same way

they thanked your dresses.

Did they?

I thank you too.

Your words make me very happy.

Good evening.

- Where were we?

- Marriage is like the country.

The best jail is that one

which you don't see.

I didn't say that!

I said women should

get married, that's all!

Same thing.

Camila, I'm not over.

You never thought about a woman?

- Yes, sometimes.

- And?

What would you do

if you fell in love?

What would a priest do?

- I'd punish my body without mercy.

- What?

Your body can turn against you.

And if that didn't relieve me

I'd try to get away...

from that woman

and never see her again.

- What if that didn't work either?

- It has to work!

Camila...

Human love has its limitation.

Only God's love is endless.

- But if he regrets being a priest?

- He can't regret!

- Marriage to God is forever!

- Eduardo, you can't say that.

- Yes, I can.

- No.

- You won't understand.

- No.

Listen.

"On Northern days an insect

is born at 9 a.m...

and dies at 5 p.m."

"How can it understand

the word "night"?

How can you understand

the word "love"...

if you were never in love?

Let's pray.

Come in.

Father Felix.

I'd like to confess.

- At this time?

- Please.

Camila...

I have a boyfriend.

I do! I have a boyfriend!

I have a boyfriend!

Jose Maria has declared his love.

They'll get married!

The one in the Restorer's Society?

I know he's not famous,

but he is distinguished!

And very rich.

Excuse me, Clarita.

I didn't mean to offend you.

- I hope you love him.

- Of course I love him.

- I'm marrying him.

- That's what's important.
