Wedding soon

Concha Arrives Today

Here's your coffee, Engineer.

"INTERNET CONNECTION "

What are you doing?

Attention all passengers!

Train from Spain

arriving Platform 1...

Victor Silva speaking. Either I'm asleep

or working in the forest. Leave a message.

- How are you?

- How do I seem?

Sit down. Let's begin.

Silence!

If I hadn't come by,

you'd have spent all night here.

So I should thank you?

You forgot your flowers.

Who are you to sell our site?

I'm not selling it.

A Spanish company, Drinam,

is suing us for 500.000 Euros

if we don't close the site.

Do you want to pay?

Brothers.

We're in the Lord's house.

Don't you see?

This will put us on the map.

Aguas Altas,

High Tech Capital!

Who are the Spanish to close our site?

Where's our pride?

What's pride got to do with this?

Look for problems, you'll find them.

Lawyers mean big problems!

Calm down!

Why a Spaniard?

No pretty women here?

Did you ever live in a village?

I've always lived in Madrid.

As a kid, I was fat.

Really fat.

They called me Fat Victor.

How can I marry a girl

who called me Fat Victor?

Fat Victor...

I like that...

- Enough talk! Open or closed?

- Open!

- You're forgetting the lawsuit!

- Clara's right! I'm not paying a cent.

I need a new roof.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Quiet, please!

My friends,

let's look at it another way.

If Drinam can sue us...

for 500.000 Euros...

... that means the site

is worth 500.000 Euros.

If Drinam wants the site...

... they have to pay!

Don't worry, Elena. With my vote

and Pedro's, the site is yours, 2-0.

Ignacio.

Closed.

- Open!

- Make up your mind!

Open or closed?

If I have to choose...

Keep it open...

... for now.

Aguas Altas!

We can change to aguasaltas.pt.

PT for Portugal.

Our village

is bigger than Portugal!

Silence!

Luisa. Open or closed?

We both want to close it.

Luisa, one person, one vote.

I want to close it.

Mario does too.

Mario, do you agree!

Open! Damn it!

The Spanish invaded in 1580,

remember?

Now they're back

and starting with our site!

It's the Engineer's turn.

He can't vote.

He's not from the village.

I can't vote?

For over a year,

I worked to get you a road...

... now I can't vote?

- No.

Can he vote, Father?

All residents over 18

have the right to vote.

Over here.

What is it, Engineer?

Open or closed?

Better to close it.

Can I still vote?

Yes. Open or closed?

Open.

As Mayor

and president of the Village Association,

I certify with 25 for,

the decision to keep the site open.

Pedro!

- You'll like it here, Concha.

- Concha?!

Pedro!

- 25-14. It could have been worse.

- It's a disaster.

I need the site back!

People will change their votes

when they understand.

We're very sensible.

Who would have guessed?

Am I still Concha?

The village would kill us

if they knew the truth.

- Can I take a shower?

- Yes.

Wake me if the Spanish invade.

Luisa?!

You voted 'open' for me?

- So they'll think you're on their side?

- Affirmative.

Now you'll convince them

to close the site.

I voted like them.

They won't be suspicious.

No one could make that up.

Open up!

Or I'll knock the door down!

To Concha.

Welcome to Aguas Altas.

Victor.

This time you caught a shooting star.

Did I say something wrong, Concha?

I'm not Concha.

I'm Elena Aledo.

From Drinam.

I'm here to get the site back.

Out!

Get out!

Thanks for having us.

It was for you and Concha.

Not for Elena.

For the village,

Elena is Concha.

Now what?

What must the village think

of the three of us here together...

WEDNESDAY:

Brother against Brother

Brothers.

To live in harmony

with our fellow Christians...

To reach out to others...

To share our joys...

Our sorrows...

Our Lord taught us,

love your neighbor

as yourself.

That's the most important

commandment.

Some of you...

... may disagree.

But the site can become

a symbol of our faith.

If Jesus were alive,

He'd have His own website.

If Jesus were alive,

He wouldn't want the site.

It will hurt our village.

Where some see problems,

others see God's will.

Didn't Jesus change

water into wine?

But not to sell it.

Nor to drink it Himself.

May God guide us

in His infinite wisdom.

Only He can show us the way.

- Good morning.

- That robe's mine.

- Morning, Fat Victor.

- Morning!

With my vote and my aunt's,

we need four more votes.

If we convince the priest,

he'll convince the others.

- Good luck with Father Felicidade.

- Oh thee of little faith.

I'm seeing Father today.

- I'll go with you.

- 1 1 :
30 at the church. O.K.?

Be nice to my fiance.

It won't work.

Victor thinks it will.

He also thought Concha

would be on the train.

You're not helping us?

Aren't you from Drinam?

Ask your lawyers for help.

Let's go to Chico's for a drink.

Chico's?!

That's the other side of the world!

Even dead

I wouldn't set foot in Osvaldo's.

- Osvaldo voted like us.

- But for the wrong reasons.

He should have stayed in Brazil.

Hop on.

Fernando said I can increase business

if I go online.

All your clients live nearby.

- Why would they shop online?

- What do you know about Internet?

Enough not to sell the site.

Concha seems nice.

She even speaks Portuguese.

I hope she's not too much for Victor.

My Victor's man enough

for any woman.

It's strange... The three of them

sleeping under the same roof...

For 50 years,

I've put up with your gossip.

I've had enough.

Let them enjoy life!

Take this.

And this.

And this and this.

Keep it all!

Everything's overpriced.

Where is it cheaper?

On Internet!

- Fernando thinks this is America.

- We have to help Elena.

I'm not helping Elena!

My decision's final!

"Last night,

a small Portuguese village"

"declared war on a large multinational"

"to save its website."

"Aguas Altas vows

to fight to death and beyond."

This is too much...

I lost the road. Ana left me.

Now I'll spend years

fighting something that's not my fault.

Wait!

Ana left you?

I'm not the only one

with women problems.

How did the paper find out?

"AGUAS ALTAS AT WAR FOR ITS

WEBSITE"

"By our special correspondent,

Fernando Oliveira."

Are you crazy?

I'm just the messenger of progress!

Where do I start?

Go with Elena to see Father,

I'll talk to the forest crew.

Fine.

Thanks, Pedro.

You're a great guy.

- Come in.

- May we, Father?

Come in, Victor.

Hello, Concha.

Marriage is a sacred sacrament.

Two people are joined together

before God for all eternity.

Do you...

Does Victor take...

this vow of matrimony...

... seriously?

Yes, Father.

I'm sure he'd say yes...

... if he were here.

May God forgive me!

I want to help Victor,

but I can't do this.

Father, wouldn't it be best

to close the site?

For the spiritual good of the village...

Almighty God sent us this site.

Only He...

... can close it.

If Victor wants to marry,

he has to see me in person!

- Now Father's against us.

- It's not my fault.

- Victor and I will deal with this.

- I'm the only one who can do it.
