You're 7 today.
You're a man now
Bury your first toy and the
portrait of your mother
THE MOLE:
The mole is an animal that
digs tunnels underground
ln search of the sun, it sometimes
comes to the surface
When it sees the sun, it is blinded
Kill me! Kill me, please!
Who was it?
Kill me, for pity's sake!
Who was it?
Who?
Who?
- lt's the colonel
- How many?
Another five men
Where?
ln the Franciscan mission
The colonel's not selfish. He uses
women once and gives them away
The colonel said he'd kill anyone
who touches me
And who told you to?
Don't anticipate my wishes!
Sorry!
They have no souls,
but sometimes they get bored
and l throw them my leftovers
Come on, dogs! Take your
little piece!
Stop, dogs!
Kiss them on the mouth
Keep going! Kiss the other too!
Stop, dogs! Be good
These dogs like to watch
They want to see your breasts
Eat, dogs!
Who are you to hand out justice?
l'm God
No...this no! Don't do this to me!
No!
Destroy me.
Never depend on anyone
Cry little boy! Cry and
then he'll pity you
lt's bitter
Moses found water in the desert
because it was bitter
lt's turned sweet!
l'll call you Marah because
you're like bitter water
How will we live here?
We'll die of thirst
As the deer yearns
for water,
so my soul invokes you, Lord
My soul is thirsty for God,
for the living God
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
- Do you love me?
- Yes
Me no. For me to love you,
you've got to be better
The four masters of the gun
live in this desert
l must find them and kill them
The desert is round. To find the 4
masters we must move in a spiral
l can't go on, let's go back!
l always end up where l started
We'll never find them
lf they're masters,
they'll give us a sign
Days have passed...weeks, months
- How can you still have faith?
- They're waiting for us
The sign!
Seek the light at midday. He'll
come. You must wait to see him
Like that woman
The master didn't want to fight her
you know. lt's strange...
without making them wait
There's an oasis behind
the dune
Your woman will wait there
Let's go
Give me the gun and the sombrero
l don't need the light. l'm blind
Count to three and try to take it
One...
two...three!
How?
l do not try to win, but to arrive
at perfect control
to not be afraid of the bullets
Shoot!
resistance to the bullet
l let it pass through the
capillaries of my flesh
You still want to duel with me?
Yes
lt does not grieve me to kill you,
because death does not exist
l will let you shoot first
- He's superior to me
- You'll win!
Even if l won, l'd lose
l'm asking you a favour.
You must win
Don't be so honest.
Try to invent something
Lay a trap. There's always
a way to win. Find it!
l told you! l expected it,
l'm proud of you!
There are only 3 masters left
l know where the 2nd lives. lf you
let me come with you, l'll show you
He's here, wait for me
We were waiting for you.
You're falling and you'll
fall anyway
The deeper you fall,
the higher you'll get
Traitor, coward, murderer!
God's will is unexplainable
My son and l must respect you
You can duel with him
Cross!
You and my son can shoot
when you want
Dead!
Technically you're dead
Now l want to talk to the dead one
Follow me
First of all, l made things
out of copper
and l strengthened my fingers
Now l make delicate objects
l'm so strong that l can play
with this shape
without breaking it
Shoot!
A clean, delicate shot
destroys an accurate one
You shoot to find yourself,
l do it to shoot
Perfection is to lose yourself
and to lose yourself you need
to love
You don't love. You destroy, kill
and no one loves you
Because when you think you're
giving, you're really taking
l told her everything
She's inside me
What l do and say is ordered
and blessed by her
l hate all that is mine,
because it distances me from
her divine presence
Two are better than one,
because if they fall, one will
lift up his companion
When there is only one,
there is no one to lift him up
When l made this, l didn't
think it would be useful
l just tried to make it the best
way l possibly could
Take your gun again
My son wants to give you
one last chance
PROPHETS:
l don't want you to go near him
Why do you follow us? Go away!
We don't need to take your gun
away. We trust you
You have a flute! We'll get to
You're disgusted at yourself.
You don't want to betray any more
Now you want to respect the law
Some give flowers.
Some, precious objects
You bring me your life as a gift
You are not afraid to die
This is why you are a
dangerous enemy
When you were 7 metres
from the rabbit run,
Now they're nearly all dead
Now that you're here,
not one will be left alive
l made it.
Feel how fine it is...
You can fire a shot
lt is all that l need.
A fatal shot
Shoot!
Which did you kill and
which did l kill?
This is yours:
shot in the head.This is mine:
shot in the heartThe heart...the head...
A changing of places
lt is now time
Too much perfection is a mistake
You won! Don't leave me!
You'll be the best and l'll help
you! There's only one left!
Want to duel with me?
How will l do that?
l have no gun
butterfly net
l must fight you with my hands
Fight! Fight!
Fight!
See? My net is more powerful
than your bullets
lf you shoot again, l'll reflect
the bullet directly into your heart
How can you win if l don't duel?
l have nothing
Even with a trap you couldn't have
taken anything from me
Yes, actually.
l don't care about my life
Now l'll show you
You lost
You won! You won!
You're the best!
l was poured out like water
and my bones were all detached
lt's like my heart shrivelled
inside my guts
My tongue cleaved to my palate
And they put me in the dust
of the dead
My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from
my salvation
and from the voice of my lament?
My God, l call you by day
but you do not answer
no peace
Him or me
Show me your way,
your paths
Show me the way
of your truth
Because you are the God of my
salvation and l waited for you
You will show your sinners the way
You will put the humble
on the path of justice
PSALMS:
l am not a god.
l am a man
How long have l been here?
When you got here,
l hadn't been born
l looked after you from infancy.
The old woman says you'll free us
Come
We've been prisoners in this
cave for many years
That's the only exit. To get there
we need to scale the walls
and many days
Outside there's the mountain
