You must miss him.
Yes. Yes, I do.
I wasn't a daughter that he hoped for.
He arranged my marriage to a family friend,
and I ran away.
Here, in this country, a lot of people believe
that women can't have their own opinions.
Come on.
Everybody to the bus, please.
Let's go.
Next up, a government hospital.
Supplies are generously provided
by the Soviet union.
You have to talk to your paper. I mean it.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hi.
Your cow needs a tail.
How did this happen?
Was it from the fighting?
Better story for you if I said yes, huh?
I'll get the truth for you,
but the real truth is on her face,
no matter what happened to her.
She needs your help.
Marta, please.
Thank you.
No. The government is dead
but behaves as if it isn't.
The basque front is about to collapse.
The thing is, the retreat may come
right through my position here in bilbao,
by gernika. So...
Sh*t!
- What?
- You know the rules.
- You are all such cynics.
- You have something for me?
Yeah.
- You'd better go home, it's late.
- Right away. See you tomorrow.
We have a report
that ajournalist has been in burgos
and now moves freely in our area.
- Name?
- Not yet.
Not acceptable.
It isn't good?
No, it's sh*t.
Dig deeper.
Bookstore. Just on the street.
Antique bookstore, but...
You want me to sign it?
Keep it.
In fact, read it.
This is a tree of gernika.
An ancient symbol of basque identity.
Oak trees symbolised traditional freedoms
for bizcayans and for the basque people.
Many centuries ago, under this tree,
laws were enacted,
prohibiting torture and arresting people
without court approval.
You have five minutes to take photos, okay?
We'll meet back at the bus.
This is off the record,
but do you wanna taste
the real basque country?
Wonderful...
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
Teresa, where are you going?
I'm gonna take them somewhere.
Can you wait for me
in the front door, please?
Sure.
Give me a second.
They must stay with the group.
And you'd better be careful.
I owe you one.
Why are you here?
You know you're not welcome.
Go away!
Are you driving us out?
You?
When my son returns,
you'll be the one to be driven out!
We all know which side your son fights on.
On the fascists' side!
Leave it!
I won't sell you anything.
No beetroots,
no leeks, no carrots,
no cauliflowers.
Nothing!
You'll change your mind
when ours come along,
when it's too late!
- Are you sure?
- Come on.
What's all that about then?
Well, she supports the other side.
Here, everybody knows
everything about everyone.
Yeah?
We are 35 kilometres away from the front.
It's about to break.
to attack with full force.
They will retreat through the mountains,
along that road.
Franco wants to stop them here.
He'd better make sure we get the ammo
and the fuel we were promised.
They must make sure our bills are paid.
I've spoken with general mola.
He wants us to bomb
all of the basque factories.
Really?
His own factories?
The Spanish don't think about the future.
Soon there will be no tomorrow for them.
What is going on?
We stopped his car.
He was about to cross enemy lines.
I took the wrong road.
They pulled out all the traffic signs.
Are you a spy?
No!
No, for god's sake, I don't know the area.
L just...
I just wanted to meet with the journalist tour.
Vasyl, I'm watching you.
Show me what you can do.
Please.
Please, sir. I have two children.
Have mercy.
Have mercy.
Teresa!
What a joy!
It's been so long.
This is begofia, my mother's sister.
The coloma family isn't as stuck up
as my father's one.
Nice girl!
This is Henry, Marco and marta.
- Foreign reporters.
- Welcome.
Look at you, you look exhausted.
Auntie...
She doesn't sleep.
- She's too sensitive for this job.
- Stop it.
It's none of their business.
Answering back,
just like she did with her father.
She said that when Teresa was a little girl,
she was pretty feisty.
Yeah, I bet she was.
Teresa!
Isabel.
What a surprise!
You look lovely.
This is my cousin, Isabel.
What a 'guy!
Just 'm time to see my wedding dress.
Yes.
She's so excited. She's getting married.
Congratulations.
- What did he say?
- Congratulations.
Thank you.
May I take a picture of you?
A photograph.
- Yes.
- Yes?
That's uncle's car.
It's always broken down.
- That's my uncle's car. It never works.
- Really?
Well, maybe we can help out.
Come on, Marco.
I'll show you my dress.
Automobile repair?
I thought you didn't do automobile repair.
Hello?
Can we give you a hand?
- American?
- Yes, American.
If you want to buy me a new car.
Not good...
You wanna get in the car,
It's the carburettor.
It wouldn't happen with a Spanish car.
Bad times for everyone.
We're better here than in the city.
We grow vegetables
and exchange things with neighbours.
But in bilbao...
All right. Crank it.
No. Wait. Hold on.
We need it,
our daughter is getting married
and we'll have to visit her.
Or if we have to leave here in a hurry.
Is it better to send begofia
and my daughter to bilbao?
If I were you,
I'd leave as soon as possible.
Yeah, okay.
Give it another go.
Yes!
God, help me!
Why?
Why do you insist on breaking the rules?
Life is so much easier if you just listen.
Please don't do it.
I'm innocent.
I'm innocent.
I've never shot a man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Makes me angry
to have to do your work, mikiavich.
an enemy of the people,
and all I get is this fascist pig.
And I have to do it all by myself.
- I understand.
- No!
Clearly you do not.
In Moscow, the party denounces
someone every day.
Why?
Because it keeps the proletariat in line.
You have to do it better, mikiavich.
Bring me an enemy of the revolution,
or some big prize
and then we can continue
this most enlightening conversation.
It's Teresa, as a child.
That's Teresa?
Her father, a football player.
Football!
Ferocious, like Teresa.
My cousin wants to know the opinion
of a famous writer about her dress.
Do you like it?
I don't know why...
I drew it myself.
Yeah, I...
It's at the dressmaker's.
My boyfriend hasn't seen it yet,
he's at the front.
I wanted a man's opinion.
Well, I think it's...
Very pretty.
Really?
Do you think it's pretty?
Yeah, sure.
Very, very pretty.
Guess I said something right.
Come on.
Lunch is ready!
Lunch.
Yes, we agree to the plan.
Please,
inform Franco that after the operation
he must advance quickly to bilbao
or he will miss a golden opportunity.
The general always advances slowly,
he prefers to shoot his enemies
house by house.
Yes, but delays cost money.
There's no republican aviation
in the area.
They only have one plane in bilbao
and it's being repaired.
Splendid.
- Where's the ten of hearts?
- Here you are.
No, it hasn't come up.
Thank you.
Fold a card.
Perhaps she has it.
It's magic.
No.
You are a big cheat.
