Volga German Village,

Santa Rosa, Entre Rios.

..The first Beer Festival coming up,

February 11th at San Juan Village,

fantastic... the Volga gringos are

coming in from Buenos Aires

also from San Juan Village, of course,

the German Marvels

are presenting their

eighth album...

We have to hurry, come on.

one... two... three...

four... five... six...

seven... eight...

nine... ten...

eleven... twelve...

Isn't it a bit late?

If your father was here

he would've smacked you by now.

They have beak marks.

They're killing each other.

We are not going to leave our

misery behind in the village.

Everyone should

take care of their own.

Let's keep putting

this place apart.

Were you with a hooker last night?

Let's see this, Horacio.

How much can we pay?

- We can'! pay much.

- The cages don't close properly.

It's messed up, the hens

are either dead or sick.

The metal is rotten.

It's all messed up.

We'd have to start over.

The wind comes in

through the curtains.

No. It looks quite abandoned.

They want to give us half

of what it's worth.

Don't listen to them,

they are trying to bargain.

They say they heard things,

they think they won'! sell

enough eggs

from this farm.

- They found everything strange.

- They should leave.

Tell them about the job our

cousins found for us

at the Brazilian Village.

Let's see what they say then.

Mother, we need the money

to take with us.

Some people made a lot of money

off soy over there.

Our cousin says

the trucks are incredible,

and they even

have a small TV inside.

Get if?

Go!

Is it true you are going

to be a waitress now?

Stop it!

Yes. They need waitresses

at this restaurant at Brazilian Village,

they say if you are blonde

it's even better.

Blonde? You'll look

better like this.

But collecting eggs is pretty different

than waiting tables.

It's going to get a bit

more complicated.

Seems Lucas and the other guys went

to a hooker last night.

Nelson was there too.

That's all they do.

I'll throw you down.

- Hold this.

- Coming.

Let go of me!

Are you that scared of falling?

I'll throw you down.

I think you are going to fall.

You get it el Mate.

Alright. You made

me drop the your fault.

Don't tell me you dropped it!

You did

We still have the lemon.

How come we didn't realize

this was a great hair ornament!

We wasted so much time.

- It looks better on you.

- You think so?

I'll put it here, like a ower,

on the other side too.

- You too then.

- Okay, enough.

Hey Brenda, are you or aren't you?

Pregnant?

It doesn't matter,

we have to leave anyway.

Speaking of leaving,

we should get going.

Okay, let's go.

If I knew,

I'd have come to help out.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

We thought you were

packing your things.

Have you seen my eye?

Going out Saturday night

like that was a bad idea.

That cheap wine we had.

Was really bad.

We should only drink cider.

Look, see my eye?

This is no good. Look.

Give me a smoke.

Are you sure you

don't want the dogs?

No, no.

They don't want them over here

They told me.

They are good dogs,

good hunters.

But ours are

good hunters too.

So what should I do with the dogs?

I don't want to kill them.

I don't know, my dad says he doesn't

want anything to do with the dogs.

Besides, be careful,

they might be sick.

Did our cousin call?

I told you I would let you

know if she did.

Don't worry

Don't trouble yourself over it.

Right.

It's just that

we are all set.

I want her to introduce us

to the people at the canteen

tomorrow.

They say it's packed

every weekend.

Yes, I heard that too.

How's everything going

over here?

It's going well.

They already peeled the potatoes

and the eggs for the salads.

Your hair looks dull.

The water contains too

much chlorine.

Maybe that's what's

killing my animals.

Could be.

Get off!

- Are those the guano workers?

- I think so.

Hurry, I have to go

work at the dairy.

Wait.

Nelson'd kill me if he sees me.

Hold on.

I thought I'd never see you again.

T haven't found

my substitute yet

Don 'r worry

we?! find someone soon

Father...

Is there a plague

at Eigenfeld Village?

Or elsewhere?

Some people in the villages

are very scared...

about the plague.

They even relate it to certain

biblical passages.

It's all there... in the Bible.

What happened to your family

has spread around every village.

Tie it better!

Let it run for a second.

Come on!

You can'! do anything right!

I'm sorry about today

We shouldn't speak dialect;

once there we won'! be able to.

Right.

The dogs are back.

You should've taken them further away.

The guano workers are back too.

What's wrong?

Are you jealous?

No.

Go Nico! Nico!

We need you in the team Nico,

you have to be ready.

You have to pay more attention.

Chori is the goalie tomorrow.

No, I'm scoring.

We can put Nico in

for the day.

Come on, Chori.

We need new players.

Your cousin, Chori.

Don't you have one?

I do, but he doesn't play anymore.

He fell from the motorcycle.

He was a good goalie, that guy.

- I can ask him, we'll see.

- Come on, we're almost done!

Twenty four!

One more and that's it.

Come on, Chori.

- I'd like to ask you for a favor.

- Yes.

I 'd like you to change your brother's

flowers every once in a while,

and say a Lord's Prayer

for me...

one or two.

Should I pray for

your children too?

How can you say that?

Abelardo doesn't need prayers.

His place in heaven was saved.

I wonder what heaven is like,

they say people don'!

recognize each other.

It would be nice if you

visited us every now and then.

We're going to miss you Lucas, really.

D' you want to be

the altar boy for the church?

No, I'm sorry, but no.

Does anyone want to be

the altar boy?

No, right now we're looking f

or a goal keeper.

Find us a goalie, Lucas.

It's true. The goalie

is much more important.

We need one by tomorrow.

Don't let him escape.

I'll grab his hand.

Let's get Brenda now!

In the water!

Hey, jerk!

How can you be like that with your sister?

You're shivering.

Speed up, we need to go!

Come on, we need to go!

Come on!

Come on!

Push the gas!

I am pushing!

Come on!

Don't embarrass me tonight.

Are you afraid of looking bad

in front of Elda?

She's playing tonight.

Are you jealous too?

Shut up.

Shall we?

Are you staying

for the show?

Yes.

It's going to be good.

We're doing a full show.

We are recording our new album.

The fourth one.

Really?

Yes. 100% German.

People like it.

That's what matters.

Yes, it's nice.

Do you like dancing polka?

A little bit.

Will you dance

when we play?

Maybe.

- At least one song.

- Maybe one song.

We started out early.

Let's dance now.

So don't remain seated.

Let's all get up,

because here comes the rhythm

of Elda and her group!

Aren't you coming with me?

No Brenda, not again.

Just once more?

Let's better go to the party.

I don't want to go back in there.

But it was fun.

That awful music and

those old folks dancing, it's always
