Come on, let's get her pregnant.

We'll cook one for Ignacio's family.

Open the gate.

Quick.

Come on!

They don't want to do it!

Rum will make them horny.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Thank you, spirits,

for all your blessings.

Your blessings for my daughter.

Hey!

Concentrate.

Pray with me.

Thank you, earth, wind, water, volcano.

Bless my daughter

with a good marriage.

I'm praying for my home,

my work, my daughter.

This is what I want,

what I pray for.

I want my daughter

to be happy and protected.

Take me with you.

Why should I?

If you want to come, let me taste it.

Maria!

My father will yell at me.

Lucky for you.

Stir it or it will burn!

Come on.

Come here.

Don't cross your arms!

- Hello!

- Welcome!

You brought the whole family.

Our house is yours.

Your kids have grown!

You brought too many things.

Thank you, brother.

How are you?

Thank you for coming.

Welcome to our home.

This is too much.

You even brought a duck!

Oh, God! Thanks.

Please sit at the table.

What a beautiful kid!

Thank you for bringing all this.

Thank you for the basket.

Maria, you look beautiful.

Sit at the table!

Smile at them.

The secret is

to simmer the pork the night before.

It was good, huh?

Cheers.

Thank you very much.

Let's get to the point.

- I'm not a pretentious man.

- Of course not.

- You know me. I'm sincere.

- Yes.

We know you are a good person,

but I care about Maria's future.

You understand?

Don't worry.

She'll have everything she needs.

That's a relief.

After the wedding,

we'll all be the same family.

You'll keep your house, your job.

What else would you need?

Thank you very much!

So be it.

Ma'am? Mister? I have a question.

Is Maria a good housewife?

Don't worry, she's a good cook.

She helped me cook this.

Don't worry.

She planted the last coffee trees.

Best harvest ever. Very good coffee.

She has fertility on her hands!

She is young and strong.

To fertility!

To new babies!

May our line continue.

We've had a lot of problems.

Juana had problems

getting pregnant.

The spiritual guide helped us,

but I had a girl.

With Ignacio in the family,

I'll have a boy at last.

Cheers.

Tell me, did Ignacio mourn

his first wife with dignity?

Of course. He's a respectful man.

He can be trusted.

We hear no gossip about Ignacio.

With all the female workers around him!

I want to be sure Maria loves Ignacio.

If not, she won't take care

of him and his children.

Don't worry. Of course she loves him.

Don't you?

- Don't you?

- She really loves him!

Then it's fine, that's a relief.

She's shy because she's never done it.

But she'll enjoy it.

When she tastes it,

she'll like it.

How not to enjoy it?

You'll see.

We're teasing you!

Laugh!

You'll have to perform very well.

To the future couple!

I have more good news.

The boss is taking me to the city.

As soon as I come back,

I'll marry Maria.

Thank you.

- Aren't you scared of going to the city?

- Not at all.

Wherever you go,

don't forget where you come from.

By the way,

what will you do in the city?

Business, Manuel. Business.

- To business.

- Good luck.

Are you asleep?

Are you asleep?

Wake up.

Come on, wake up.

- Feel like it?

- Get on top of me.

Touch me.

Are you tired?

You don't want to?

Wait, it's getting hard.

Sing for the volcano to fall asleep.

You work too slowly.

- What's in the United States?

- Big houses.

With gardens.

People have cars.

The electricity works all the time.

Even the streets are lit.

They sell the fruit peeled.

And everybody speaks English.

You'd better learn Spanish

before thinking about English.

It's because of people like you

this country is stuck.

And what else is there?

Money. Dollars.

- What does the air smell like there?

- I don't know.

Here, the air smells of coffee.

And of the volcano.

You're not afraid to leave?

More and more snakes.

There's danger here too, you see.

It must have walked a long time

before falling here.

Let's go.

What do you have in mind?

You think the Gringos are waiting for you...

with a job and a home, huh?

White people will treat you like sh*t.

No, they have their Negroes for that.

He is an Indian, not a Negro.

Shut up, it's the same sh*t.

The Negroes are treated worse.

Pepe, proud Indian...

Pepe has no money.

He is poor.

- Another drink, please.

- Take mine!

Not from that one. The good stuff.

She doesn't drink your piss.

She's a lady.

We'll see.

Sit on this!

Teach me.

Juanito wants to taste you.

Hey.

Buy me a drink.

Ignacio won't give me more credit.

I don't work to pay your drinks.

And you are too drunk.

Pepe.

Pepe.

Don't come inside me.

Don't come inside me.

The first time, nothing happens.

Behind the volcano,

it's the United States.

Well, there is Mexico in between.

Really, you're not afraid?

No.

I have to cross a desert.

I must walk day and night

to escape the Migra.

Also, I'll need to swim

because I'll cross two rivers.

Are you taking me with you?

Maybe.

If you are nice to me.

I've already been nice.

Enough.

I must take it back.

You almost finished it.

Tell me,

what's behind the volcano?

Cold weather.

- That's all?

- Yes, that's all.

Dad!

Dad!

- There are snakes.

- Don't move!

We're coming!

The snake repellent will work this time?

Of course it will.

- People won't work in a field with snakes.

- Sure.

They don't dare kill them.

And you are leaving too.

Yes, but this product will work.

It comes from the United States.

- So it must be good.

- Sure.

Serve your future husband first.

Thank you, Maria.

What's going on with Maria?

Might be the snake repellent.

It smells too strong.

Do you smell it?

Me too, it makes me feel sick.

I don't smell anything.

Really nothing.

Good for you.

Let's spread the anti-dengue

in all the other pools.

I'll do it.

Why not go together?

You can carry on here.

Don't stay out too late!

A quintal.

You soaked the coffee on purpose.

You think I'm stupid?

I didn't do anything.

Who will pay the missing weight?

Why do you defend the boss?

Maria! Go back to the house!

If you want to get paid, dry your bag.

Step aside.

Did you like it?

The other night.

It's been a while.

You should have come back.

I couldn't escape from home.

Did you like it?

And you?

Did it hurt?

So?

Was it your first time?

So?

It was good.

Come tonight.

I can't.

But we'll have time, soon.

When?

When we leave.

After the coffee harvest,

when you get paid.

I'll hide in the forest and wait for you.

Whistle like that to find me.

When you whistle,

I'll come out of my hiding place.

I'll bring the bottle for you.

Manuel,

get the table ready.

Maria!

Where are you? Come help me clean.

I'll make an offering to the volcano.

- What for? I already did.

- Let her go.

It's important.

And my wages?

You've already drunk

more than your pay, like Pepe.

You must do the next harvest

to be able to pay your debt.

Go to hell.

I owe you nothing.
