Mondays in the Sun Page #6

Synopsis: 2001: men without jobs, in the port city of Vigo. Six men worked in a shipyard, now shuttered. They pass the time at La Naval, a bar opened by one of them after the yard closed. They face their futures in makeshift ways: Rico has his bar and a sharp 15-year-old daughter, Reina has become a watchman and a moralizer, Lino fills out job applications, Amador drinks heavily and talks of his wife's return; José is married to Ana, who works at a cannery and tires of being the breadwinner amidst José's emasculated moodiness; Santa, the group's conscience and troublemaker, occasionally fantasizes about Australia. In truth, all are joined like Siamese twins, adrift.

His wife had left.

I guess she got tired.

It's normal.

But he said nothing.

Not to anybody.

He'd drink and go home.

No one was waiting for him.

That's why he never

wanted to leave.

Maybe he didn't have

the strength to go on.

Or maybe not.

Maybe he fell.

What difference

does it make?

Anita...

What's wrong?

For example,

to exit, Control Q.

You use Control,

you go up...

and Enter.

Clear some space.

How's it coming?

Carlos Fuentes.

Paulino Ribas.

Paulino Ribas?

Sergio Esteban.

EXI:

And it was starting

to look so nice.

I've seen the lots.

For the auction.

No, it's a raffle.

Among the workers.

I got number eight,

I think.

Yeah, eight.

What about you?

Get out of here.

Really, I'm coming tomorrow

to pick it up.

Which one did you get?

- No.

- Yes, there's a list inside.

- Really?

- Really.

Go and see.

Go and see.

Go and see!

No.

You're missing out.

I'll get yours.

Yeah, right.

- What are you doing?

- Christening it.

Christening it.

THE SHIPYARD:

It's really ugly.

Don't be sad, Nata.

He's happier now.

What'll we do with it?

We could leave it

in his corner.

Yeah, or beside

the f***ing ham.

- He spent his life there.

- Up beside the trophies?

- What are you doing?

- One for the road.

- For Christ's sake.

- It's Amador. We're pals.

Na zdorovye.

- The bastard.

- He didn't say anything.

He did.

But he was hard to understand.

Like...

like Siamese twins.

They're stuck together.

We're stuck together too.

I didn't say that.

Amador said that.

If one falls, we all fall.

And if one gets f***ed...

that's it.

So do the others.

Because we're the same thing.

The same thing.

Like Siamese twins.

The same thing.

It's locked.

Oops, it broke!

Right, get the others.

We're off.

Can you navigate this?

I worked on a ship.

- In the kitchen.

- Yeah, but on a ship.

Shall we start?

Where's the urn?

- You had it.

- No, Lino did.

You were holding it.

In the bar, then Rico

gave it to you.

No, he didn't.

- Yes, in the street. I saw him.

- No.

Weren't you with Rico?

I don't have.

You haven't left it

somewhere?

- I never touched it.

- You always lose things.

I might f***ing lose things,

but I wouldn't lose a pal's ashes.

Poor Amador.

What day is today?
