The photograph triggers jealousy: he questions Carmen, Carman's friend Cinta, and his friend Luis who introduced him to Carmen. Cinta tells Antonio the man's first name. Carmen tells him that the man meant nothing to her, and that the photograph was taken before she met Antonio. She loves Antonio and sets out to wipe the photograph from his mind through exuberant sex, but her ploy backfires and Antonio remains fixated. Slowly he finds out about the man, and about Carmen's past. Will jealousy consume this couple or can they find a way to kill the green-eyed monster?

When you get back,

you won't recognize this place!

l promise!

Wait!

You only need

a few bits of furniture.

Antonio wants the very best,

even if it's expensive.

I'll go with you if you want.

l know a bit about it.

lt's best if I go with Antonio.

Mom.

-Has he asked you?

-He hasn't had the chance.

What shall you say if he does?

I'll act stupid.

l know nothing about anything.

And it's true.

What do I know about you?

Hardly anything.

You know I ran away with Jos.

Jos.

Goddam Jos.

You give too much importance

to bed, love.

lt's men who give it

importance, Mom.

Mom!

Were you involved with any other

men before you married Dad?

Nothing important.

But...

...did you sleep with that

"nothing important"?

Leave me alone. You should be

thinking about your own affairs.

l am.

Where are you going?

To Murcia.

But only I'm going.

Get in.

I'm sorry.

No problem, don't worry about me.

Your girlfriend?

I'll never see her again.

Everyone says that,

but it never happens.

ln my case, it will.

She's got someone else and doesn't

know who got her pregnant.

Or she doesn't want to say.

Did she tell you to go,

that she loves the other guy?

Do you love her?

Yes.

Then go back to her.

Do as I say. lt's good advice.

Don't think.

Don't ask.

Go back and be happy with her.

How are things?

Fine.

Thank you.

You like her?

As if I'd tell you.

Know what they call her?

The wolf. Juana the wolf.

So what?

Wait, I want to tell you something.

She's given the no

to all of us...

...but we think she's giving you

the glad eye.

-ls that right?

-Ask her.

"Starchy" already did.

And what did she say?

She'd do it with you anywhere.

Why is he called "Starchy"?

lt's what he transports.

They call me "Mirlindas".

Well, what about it?

Tell "Starchy" I've got a wife who

satisfies me. I don't need more.

F***, now I have to pay for lunch.

lt seems "Starchy" knows you

better than your own mother.

Forgive the joke.

So long.

So long.

Regards to Carmen.

You know her?

From other times.

"Virtue enslaves you

to your whore".

What did they call her?

The Blender?

The lioness.

First class.

She wore you out completely.

You had her for 5 notes

in Barcelona.

10 notes.

Careful, here comes the Viking.

Viking or not,

he's as odd as two lefts.

Viking or a dunce.

He's from the south, isn't he?

They say he's from a little island

where they're all cousins.

From an island with a lot of wind.

lt wasn't the wind that drove him

crazy, it was her.

Carmen.

Careful, he's coming.

Can we talk?

After the game.

Now.

Stay here.

You know him?

The one with the earring?

What's his name?

Jos? ls his name Jos?

Everyone's called Jos.

Jos what?

Jos Carmona, I think,

but I'm not sure.

No one's sure of anything when

l ask about him. Why's that?

Because he was a bastard.

Go on.

That's all, he was a bad person.

How did he harm Carmen?

He harmed everyone.

He stole 100,000 pesetas from me.

Was he Carmen's boyfriend?

Don't make me laugh.

That guy was a f*ggot.

As camp as a row of tents.

He swung both ways.

Thank you.

ls he dead?

Dead?

Queers like that never die.

He's alive.

And he's living in the province

of Teruel, in Montoro.

l don't know the address.

lf you see him, tell him from me

to stick a fencepost up his ass.

What's he looking for?

His own downfall.

An eavesdropper never hears

good of himself.

Jos Carmona, Montoro,

province of Teruel.

Jos Carmona, Montoro,

province of Teruel.

Jos Carmona, Montoro,

province of Teruel.

Jos Carmona, Montoro,

province of TerueI.

He's aIive! He's aIive!

Right, take a ball like this.

And then...

...you put these

two fingers here,...

...and your thumb here.

When you've got a good grip,...

...you take four steps,...

...you crouch down

as low as you can...

...and you let go of it here,...

...but gently, without using

too much force.

Let me see you do it.

" Bowling ball, here's what to do,

go to the hole waiting for you."

Come on.

lt got away from me!

Now watch me.

One, two, three...

This time, concentrate.

Take a ball.

My darling!

-How was the trip?

-Fine.

l missed you.

You playing, Antonio?

lt's my turn.

l see how you practice.

That's how it is.

lt had to happen.

lt's serious.

Cinta's willing to leave

the widower with the shoestore.

And I really like her.

What do I do?

Leave her.

Why?

She's had 1 ,000 boyfriends.

What number are you?

The fifteenth?

The forty seventh?

She's only good for bed.

l don't care.

We get on really well,

both in bed and out of it.

lt's an act.

She's used to pretending.

All women pretend, Toito.

Even a child knows that.

All except yours.

Hang on, it's my turn.

With my eyes closed.

Today, with my eyes closed.

A guy called "Starchy"...

Do you know him?

Well, he knows you.

He says he's alive.

Who?

Jos.

His name's Jos Carmona, isn't it?

l don't know.

l just want you to tell me

one thing.

Do you think of him...

...when you're f***ing with me?

Chastity is the rose of virtues.

It makes men and women

simiIar to the angeIs.

Nothing is beautifuI

ifit isn't pure...

...and the purity ofhumans

is chastity.

Chastity isn't

a mysticaI virtue,...

...a cIoistered virtue

for the initiated.

It is a moraI and sociaI virtue,...

...a necessary virtue

for the coexistence of...

ldiot.

lf I were born again,

I'd fall in love with a cousin,...

...or a niece.

I'd fall in love with my sister.

Then I could watch her

night and day.

I'd make sure

no one came near her.

Just for me.

From the cradle to the grave.

Hello. I'm looking for

the Carmonas.

lt's in the square,

up the hill to your right.

Who are you looking for?

-Jos Carmona.

-Who?

Jos Carmona.

Doesn't he live here?

No, he doesn't. Jos Carmona's

is that door down there.

But Jos...

You won't find Jos there.

A harvester cut his head off,

didn't it, Lali?

Jos was sliced up by one

of those tractors with blades.

He fell asleep on the threshing

floor and it sliced him up.

Were you friends?

He lived across the way,

in number 32.

Listen, his mother hasn't

got over it yet.

Don't upset her.

Thank you.

-Good morning, ma'am.

-Good morning.

l was looking for Jos Carmona.

l knew him years ago

and it's been some time...

-...since I've seen him.

-They killed him.

They killed my son!

They killed him!

What do you want?

Nothing. I was just asking.

I'm sorry.

We were good friends.

I'm sorry, friend, but when

they told me you'd passed away...

...l was delighted.

lt's a different story now.

And if he'd been alive?

What if he'd opened the door

and said, What do you want?

What do I want?

Carmen.

Mara Jos.

You lied.

You lied, but now it's true.

He's dead.

Didn't you know?

Are you happy?

l like men like that.

lt hurts when they embrace you.

That guy's a brute.

He had a girlfriend who threw

herself off a roof, in Valencia.

Does Carmen know?

l told her when they were dating.

But she said

that was her lucky day.

That that man was for her
