of the tupamaros declares...

that it will give the workers back

the booty taken away in error.

The communication runs:

''We don't want to rob the workers,

but rather those who

exploit and rob the workers.'"

but rather those who

exploit and rob the workers.'"

They won't give it back!

lf they say they're going

to give it back they'll do it.

They only want

rich people's jewellery.

There's a man to whom they've returned

his dead parents' wedding rings.

l'd not give anything back,

l'd keep the lot.

They'll start killing people.

They'll start killing people.

They're nothing less than criminals.

No. They want to save the world

like Robin Hood.

l'm not afraid of them.

They won't attack the family

of the future president.

Give your sister a share, lgnacio.

They can't come in here.

Of course they can...

Of course they can...

they can come in

through this door, now.

Do as you're told, and everything

will be alright.

The same for you, too, little girl.

Please put down your guns.

Search the house!

There are 8 children here.

There are 8 children here.

Put your guns down, please.

Ok.

We'll put our guns down.

They were in the kitchen.

Let them go, Miguel. Quiet, please.

Nobody else in the house?

-Answer!

- Put your gun down!

Well?

Panetti has finished work

and my husband is at the TVcentre.

Do you take us for tupamaros?

No, we're the ones who are

the tupamaros.

from the National

Liberation Movement?

Yes.

You've heard about us?

Of course!

Aurelio is on TV.

As new minister

of lndustry and Commerce,

As new minister

of lndustry and Commerce,

l'm considering the creation

of a tax on financial activities.

financial activity must be...

at the service

of national industry.

Because industry creates employment.

And it's with jobs

that we can combat injustice.

We must put an end to it...

- Good intentions.

- You see.

- Good intentions.

- You see.

But he'll not manage

to get his ideas voted in.

The only solution is a mobilisation

of the masses, a revolution.

You must understand: there's no

democracy without sharing.

No sharing, no democracy.

But does he think he'll manage it

by democratic means?

- ls there another way?

- We only believe in armed struggle.

- ls there another way?

- We only believe in armed struggle.

Me too.

Santiago!

- What's the matter with him?

- Leave quickly. He's going to die.

Good.

Get going, quick!

Paint in the stars.

Hurry up!

Paint in the stars.

Hurry up!

Come on, hurry up!

Come on. Get a move on!

- Paint in the stars!

- Shall l paint a star on the wall?

Can't you see that this wall

has just been repainted?

See for yourself!

Not on this door. lt's new.

Where do you want us

to paint it, then?

Where do you want us

to paint it, then?

l've an idea!

May He have mercy on you.

May He have mercy on you.

May God help you repent of your sins.

May He bring you peace

and relieve you of your illness.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

That's it, flix.

Thank you. l'm very tired.

l need to be left alone.

Bye, Mother.

Bye, Son.

No! Don't go!

- Shall l tap up your cushion, Gran?

- Yes. Help me a little.

So much is happening in this house.

There're some weird people here

you know. Keep away from them.

Terrible things are happening

in this country.

Don't stay with those fools.

Get away from here as soon as you can.

Go anywhere.

To Paris...

We don't have a lot of time left.

Go to the altar.

And look under the pale

blue altar cloth, on the right.

You'll find something.

Have you got it?

- Your real grandfather's letters.

- What?

Keep them carefully.

lt's a secret.

Aurelio isn't Anibal's son.

But you must still love him

because he's a good man.

Anibal was a fool.

They smell nice.

- What use are they? They're in french.

- Keep them.

ln this madhouse, only you

can be trusted with them.

That's all l have left.

Do you have anything to tell me?

Come on...

l think l'm ill.

Strange things are happening to me.

They're all ill in this house.

Except you, darling.

Don't worry.

lt's natural.

lt'll pester you a little,

but only for 40 years.

That's it, you're a woman.

l've lived long enough to

see you become a woman.

Charity, mercy and compassion.

Those are God's commandments.

Don't talk to me of charity.

l know we're fighting the same battle.

Yes, it's true.

Poverty, problems, diffculties.

A lot of people have been arrested.

That's always been the case, Santiago.

At night, l hear the police vans.

And the shouts.

They are all tortured, some disappear.

Whole families...

await news from them for months...

Sometimes in vain.

l can only offer them

spiritual and emotional help.

The peace only God can bring.

- You hear the police vans, too.

- What do you know about it?

l have my sources.

Do you think l ignore your struggle?

What if you were trying to trap me?

You've known me for 1 9 years.

Why have you come?

What do you want?

Your phone line.

l loved my mother so much!

Do you want to sit down?

What a pain this menopause is!

But at least, l won't have

any more kids. At last.

Does it hurt?

lt always hurts. Everything hurts.

l don't know what men see in it.

They breathe, they pant, they scream...

They sweat, they stink...

Let me give you a piece of advice:

Don't resist.

Don't even try. lt makes it worse.

The quicker we give in,

the sooner it's over.

CX4N to CX7J,

l can hardly hear you.

What's the matter?

The aerial is 56 metres

above sea levell

CX7J to CX4N.

Conditions are bad! Over!

CX4N to CX7J.

The sailing boats are ready. Over.

CX7J to CX4N. Cancel it all.

The weather forecast is bad. Over.

CX4N to CX7J.

What do you mean, bad weather?

What is it?

Radio Tirana.

Where's that?

ln Albania.

And there's also Radio Cairo.

- ls it here?

- Yes, it's here.

Why communicate with the whole world?

To make contact.

lf l stop talking, it means

something's happened to me.

- Shall l show you?

- Yes.

Well, for instance,

Equatorial Guinea.

Wait...

CQ Guinea 3C16,

here is Uruguay CX7J. Over.

What's that?

How should l know? Remove it.

lsn't the phone simpler?

No, you can't rely on it.

And on top of that, this is the future.

A global means of communication.

ln 2008, every household

will have one next to the fridge.

They look like ants.

Exactly.

They are born together,

they live together, they die together.

They work for nothing.

Benito!

This country is too small for you.

No! No!

Out of respect for God, tell...

Dolores and the kids it's over.

She is your wife, and

l christened your 6 children!

Yes, 3 wonderful children,

and 3 others...

All this is a mistake!

l'm not sure...

l'll think about it. Come back tomorrow.

l can't.

- On Wednesday.

- lt's Winston's day off.

- So what?

- father, open your eyes!

- Winston...

- Yes, and?

Haven't you got it yet?

What sort of world do you live in?

Benito...

You have said it yourself
