government's making social housing.

We can take advantage of that.

And are you going to believe

the government, friend?

These houses are not for the poor!

You're talking seriously!

The day after tomorrow,

by Villa El Salvador...

...there's goint to be a land invasion.

- An invasion?

- An invasion, yes.

Villa Salvador is far away.

So you'd be better off going back, damn it.

Go back? Go back where,

Jacinto? Where?

To the farm. Where do you

think that's going to be?

The farm doesn't yield enough for the

lot of us to eat, just for your parents.

- We're going back, why?

- Because here's worse.

It's all pure sand! No electricity, no water...!

No trees grow or anything!

I'm not going back.

Do you want your children to die

to never get the chance to study, to be like you,

wandering from one job to another? Just like that?

But at the farm, at least we

can have a bit of something.

Here, no tree grows. Here... there's no water.

Around here it's not like our homeland.

You have to listen

to your friend, Jacinto!

The lands, without electricity,

without water... is just land!

Some say that sometimes

the police break in,

beat the people, throw grenades,

trample over the mats, burn them...

Just then I got scared.

The wind used to blow away the mats.

The night was cold.

Then my father began to feel worse.

He coughed, and his fever rose.

All night he was thirsty.

In the morning a truck full of policemen

showed up, and also patrolmen in their cars.

My dad was in a very poor shape,

panting like he was tired.

The police wouldn't come in.

They just stayed nearby.

But others said here on the desert,

there were no owners, no one owns the sand.

We spent a week like that, suffering

hunger, cold, and with little water,

until the cops left.

But my dad couldn't get up anymore.

No more, no.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you,

blessed art Thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jess.

Well.

Uncle "cuchara",

when will you come back?

Uncle "cuchara"!

When are you coming back?

When it's windy, it brings

sand into the house,

and into the bed, too.

Even into the food.

We have to get up real early,

first to look for water from far off,

then go to Cnepa Park.

It's a 2-hour bus trip

to go there and back.

If you come back later it's very

dangerous. There are thieves.

Not even the priests can hide.

I've been threatened 2 times with

a knife and got my money taken.

They don't respect kids or old people.

Neighbor, good afternoon!

- Neighbor, good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

You remember we talked

about that job at the assembly?

Right.

Well, I came to offer you a job.

It's to do laundry in the

house of some gentlefolk.

Hey, lazybones! Why are you here?

Have you lost your site?

What do you care?

"What do you care?".

Bully!

Pay careful attention to what

we're telling you, numbnuts.

What, can't I be here?

No, what an idea!

What do you want, spoiled kid,

to chase all the money away?

Go home, wash your

clothes, you filthy!

You've come here just to mess with me!

- Find a pace there, filthy!

- Buy shoes to those yankees!

Fix yourself out there, Gregorio.

Medium, now you're to guess

whose bill this is. Is it the lady's?

No!

Hey, Medium, don't be mean,

poor gentleman!

No!

Give me a little more of that dust.

- Is it the gentleman's, Medium?

- No!

- Medium, don't be mean, so Medium:

is it the gentleman's? - No!

- Who does it belong to?

- Whoever has it in his hand!

You've never been so late.

So late? The trip dragged, then I

also went to see the snowcone lady.

What did they ask you,

to sell snowcones?

She says her sister in law

is unemployed, too.

Look what I did this morning.

I just spent 200 soles to pay off

for this photo. Do you like it?

It looks just like you!

- Let me show you a miracle.

- Come on, show me.

Look, for three months

I have been married.

You've been married for three months?

And my wife has given me

a cute and beautiful baby.

- So what do you call that?

- A miracle.

One moment, you say you have

been married for three months.

Three months of marriage.

Your wife has given birth

to a cute and lovely baby.

A cute and beautiful baby.

- A miracle... That's not a miracle.

- And then what is it?

That someone else got in

there before you did!

These ones, they only say dirty things.

How tasty the food is!

When you're finished come

straight home, Gregorio.

Yes, Mom, I'll hurry home.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

here you come, come, come!

Come see the greatest clowns

ever seen in Miraflores!

Come, gentlemen, come!

Look, you'll see the

greatest clowns ever seen,

they're:
Tin-tacky, Marijuana,...

Fourth-dwarf, and Drummy-bones!

Having them here,

gentlemen, look at me!

Here are all of them!

Check them out!

Hey, have you seen chavo and my brother?

I haven't seen anyone, leave it.

- Hey, what's wrong?

- Don't bother me.

- I was saying...

- I've been thinking...

Oh, Gregorio!

Why are you so late?

No bus came.

No bus came until so late?

Mrs. Nelly had to stay because

of you. She had errands to do.

It came, but it was full.

"It came, but it was full"!

So little money? Where have you been?

There were no customers.

- Sit. You're about to eat.

- I'm not hungry.

Where did you eat?

What crap have you eaten? Go to bed!

I went to Cnepa Park but

I didn't find Gregorio, Nelly.

I brought him lunch there the

other day but couldn't see him.

His shoe-polisher box is right there, where

he always keeps it, at that lady's place.

What can he be going through?

These nights he's been coming late.

He even didn't want to eat.

He even answers me back.

- Who could he be getting with now?

- Did he find out? Could it be that he got jealous?

I've seen you with Don Lucho.

Do you think that Gregorio hasn't seen you?

But I'm doing nothing wrong.

Ah! But who says you're

doing anything wrong?

On the contrary. You just have to explain

it to him. You have to talk to him.

For sure he won't like it at first,

but he'll gradually come around.

But if that's it, I won't lose my son.

But it's not about losing your son,

Juana, you're just being silly!

This Don Lucho is a good person.

He's a working man.

He's even handsome.

What more do you want?

F***, that's cool!

What a nice movie this is!

Come on, cum, cum!

Be quiet!

Gregorio!

Where have you been?

You're late again.

Won't you speak, then, Gregorio?

And, why was that

man with you?

We'll talk later.

Go to bed.

F*** it! What else was there?

Two loaves per head.

Two, four, six, seven... one's missing.

One's missing.

The lady gave them to me like that, man.

You a**hole, you, we're missing one!

Shitty numbnuts, there's one missing,

one missing, quick, quick!

I guess I dropped one on the way, then.

Maybe you're blind and crippled,

but how could you drop one?

Get the f*** out of here, shitty numbnuts!

The numbnuts always does the same thing,

hey, I'm just sh*t for you!
