Eva?

Yes.

Because she's the first one I made.

What are you doing here?

Do Flora sent me to get some varnish.

We ran out.

Are you bringing it to her?

No, he'll leave alone.

I'll go home with you.

Do I owe you anything?

No, don't worry about it.

See you soon, Alicia!

Walk on the edge, not on the nets.

What is that?

That's where we'll raise trout,

in the lake.

We won't have to go fish anymore.

What? You're stopping?

Walk on edge,

not on the nets.

What's that?

If that doesn't work,

Be careful.

I'll go see tha basing later.

They're big.

It's hard to stand, it makes

you seasick. I almost fell.

I'll go see the basins later.

My uncle says they're going

to raise trout. He won't go...

What's going on?

I'm going.

Go get the material!

Drink some warm water.

It'll make you feel better.

Where are you going?

What are you doing here?

Are you Alicia?

Do you need anything?

I'm going.

When did you get here?

Early this morning.

My father told me.

What?

That you scaught a cold

reparing the roof.

Feeling better?

The house has never been

in such good shape.

You added windows?

It lets more light in.

Excuse me.

Can you help me?

I have to go get some coal.

- Should I watch thing for you?

- Please do. The boat is full.

Are you very hungry?

You have no idea.

Is that enough?

Add another egg.

Hello.

Why are you up?

I was starving

and I was sick of lying down.

Do you want some eucalyptus?

I can make you an herbal tea.

We'll go get some after we eat.

Go, if you want.

I'll take care of breakfast.

Follow me.

Let's get other stuff, too.

You were even taught to cook?

I do what I can.

I'll make the chicken stew you like.

What miracle is this?

This is my home.

You never liked this house.

Are you going to stay long?

I don't know.

I'll see.

I came here to rest.

I had a lot of work.

You call this work?

It is work.

Are you taking care of yourself?

Of course. Can't you tell?

Alicia!

Hello, Don Oscar.

I left these bags with Alicia.

- You didn't get cake?

- No.

There's "El Morro"...

What?

I haven't seen him in a long time.

What happened to your arm?

I did something dumb.

I lit a cigarette

next to gasoline.

Well, Dad?

When will we eat trout

from your trout farm?

We must wait.

Next week, they're

sending us eggs from Chile.

We'll see.

We should have thought of this sooner.

But not with the cooperative.

It was your idea,

and Don Alfredo's and Don Franco's.

If it works, you should

share the profits three ways.

It won't work out with others.

We need time for it to work.

Ande the cooperative.

Nothing works here.

Less so with the principle

that everything is everyone's.

You know how those

people end things.

What do you mean?

Anyway, it won't work.

See you tomorrow.

So, cousin, do you like La Cocha?

Yes.

How long are you going to stay?

Until I know where to go.

Nothing happens here.

I'm leaving as soon as I can.

You can leave whenever you want to.

Don't believe it.

I'm worried about my father.

Well, I'm going to bed.

Tell me if there's a problem.

- It's going to rain again.

- That's not thunder.

Pack down the earth.

Hello.

Have you had breakfast?

A while ago.

Its almost lunchtime.

I haven't slept so much in a long time.

Any news on tourists?

Nothing for the moment.

Not surprising.

They're scared.

Who knows what could happen here.

Why did you come?

For the same reason.

I'm scared.

Scared my father is alone.

He's not alone.

I'll let you work.

And the little one there...

This one?

Put tz there.

- Here?

- No, there.

That's right.

It looks different, huh?

Yes, it's pretty.

Well, I'm off.

And the top of the house?

Later. My husband is back,

I must take care of him.

Was he gone alone?

No, not too long.

We can't stay alone here.

Freddy's getting home late.

He must have gone

for a drink with friends.

Any news about the tourists?

No.

Everything's pretty much ready.

Nobody's going to come?

I don't know.

What is this?

It's for weaving.

I saw your friend.

Mirichis?

The one who does errands.

I could sell this for

a good price in town.,

In town?

- Yes.

Woven things sell well.

Have you ever been to town?

No.

I know a lot of people there.

If you want to go,

tell me and well' go.

Are you busy?

I'm going to Santa Lucia to get coal.

Do you want to come?

Where should I go?

Straight ahead.

I don't know.

What does he do?

I think he works in town.

Which town?

I don't know.

Neither Flora nor my uncle

mentioned Santa Lucia.

How so?

Now days, people don't care

where the coal comes from

and why it's so far.

Paddle harder on this side to get left.

Where's Alicia?

She left with the canoe guy.

And you, Dad?

Did you find someone?

What do you mean?

You know...

A little woman!

Someone who'll love you, spoil you

and take care of you.

Freddy, don't bug me.

You're still good looking,

you can find someone.

My life suits me.

My house and my boat

won't ever abandon me.

But Dad, you have nothing here.

Why do you stay?

I should just drop everything,

like you?

Listen, Dad...

Things are just going

to get worse here.

You'd better off going.

Far away.

Nothing's going to happen.

Seriously, Dad.

Things could go badly.

Come to town with Alicia.

I'll help you.

Be quite.

I feel like I'm seeing God.

Hello!

Hello.

Is everything okay?

I'm still fighting.

How's Alicia?

She's as busy as you are.

You've taught her a lot.

Is everything okay

with your husband?

Yes.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

Thanks. It's cold.

Come in.

Do you go to Santa Lucia often?

Almost every day.

What are those towers for?

No clue.

Know how to stop houses from sinkingh?

Don't be.

That's the owners' job.

Or your cousin's.

That's why he's here, right?

Alicia, my offer is serious.

I only have a bit to do before going.

Come with me.

To go where?

Anywhere.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, Mirichis.

Where were you?

We were looking for you.

I was out with...

Mirichis.

Does he behave with you?

What are you looking for?

Candles.

There aren't any more.

It can wait until tomorrow.

We'll get some in the village

or dig them up on the beach.

On the beach?

That's where you bury them

while you're asleep.

Everything's ready for tomorrow.

We only need the tourists.

See you tomorrow.

Go, Alicia.

Take my father.

Get out of here. Go!
