- Good day, how do you do?

- Look after my family!

Are you the one with diabetes,

madam?

- Yes.

- How are you?

- So, so.

- OK, enjoy.

Thank you!

What do you want to eat?

What would you like?

I'll be quick, dogs!

Seven!

What the hell are you doing?

Put that down, Seven.

I won't say a word.

This f*ggot will rat on us.

You keep out of this,

you fat bastard!

What's your problem, Seven?

Who do you think you are?

Go f*** your mother!

Give me my gun!

Shut up, a**hole.

Drop that. Someone's coming!

Jarro! Jarro!

Is that you?

Don Juan!

Don Juan!

Put the cover here to hide it away.

To the right as usual.

Always aim on the outside.

Pass me some cartridges, son.

Look for them.

Pass me two green ones, please.

There you go.

Give your sister a couple.

Pay attention and stay hidden.

Easy does it. Keep an eye...

On the outside.

They're coming. Get down!

Shoot now, honey! Shoot!

Many things are changing,

people are retiring.

But barter helps,

fresh produce, trips...

The obsolescence of money...

I will take it back.

How's that?

Do whatever you want.

I'm fixing you a joint

and we'll see how it goes.

But it will not make you less stupid.

Do you know what?

I will not play that move.

I haven't let go of the piece.

So just wait.

Don't be stubborn, we can start again.

I offer you a draw.

Damn it, I'm burning!

I offer you a defeat...

because you're going to lose.

- You're stubborn.

- You always lose.

Have it your way.

We can play another game.

Let's play another one.

Can you do that?

Or are you tired?

If you are, that's too bad.

We can play something else.

F***ing chess!

- You think you're gonna win?

- You're as stubborn as a mule!

I showed you on the first game...

You thought you had it,

then I thrashed you.

I let you have it. Checkmate!

OK, OK. You're the best.

Actually, that's not it.

You're not so good, I'm an idiot.

It's not the same thing.

But you're more stupid than me.

You think you're cool

but you didn't win: I lost!

That's the difference.

It's not great. It's sad.

Intense...

That's it, intense.

Some weed?

Get the joint.

Damn it!

You can barter this.

We could trade this joint as well.

But, of course,

you're a good builder.

You could exchange some dope

for your work.

I didn't ruin the wall. That's your job.

That's not my business.

- ..Then it turns into energy...

- You're destroying things.

How's that?

Even if it's alternative technology,

it must be... well made.

Lean on it, go on.

You need support in life.

Everybody does.

Now listen.

You're on the verge of defeat, eh?

At this point, I'll check you,

just to get started.

Nice one!

Then we'll see.

David, how is Juan doing?

No idea, man.

Giacomo! Do you know

how Juan is doing?

I've heard he's getting better.

Losing part of a lung.

It doesn't heal easily, you know.

So he's better, then?

I've heard he's started

to see people.

His closest friends, I imagine.

What are you talking about?

Well, you come to my place

and clean for half a day

and I give you a sausage

in exchange.

That's how the world survives!

But your sausage

is not worth 100 pesos.

You're worse than my ex.

You put everything down.

You're the one who wants

to put her down!

Rut!

- What?

- Come down.

Down?

Turn on the light.

Turn on... the... light.

I want to see.

Hello, my love.

How are you feeling?

I'll turn the light on, OK?

Take this off me.

How's your head?

How are you three?

Very well. They had a great time.

Your temperature's gone down.

You're getting better.

Look who's here.

The big worm of the family.

He's going to fly.

You worm! Come here.

Where did you go?

Be careful with me.

Remember that I'm ill.

Tell me where you went.

Were you climbing?

Did you go up a rock?

It's bigger than my hand.

What about you, my princess?

Did you go as well?

Princess!

Will you be better soon, Daddy?

- Dad?

- Very soon, my love.

- Can you help me up?

- Yeah.

- You want us to play together again?

- Yeah.

You can climb up alone, honey.

I was in the forest.

- Who with?

- Nobody.

I love you, my girl.

Look at your dad.

Yes.

You're so beautiful, my girl.

You're not well, love.

I'm just tired of being here.

I think I'd better call the doctor.

Play us a song instead.

Today I just want to listen.

Yes.

My children, do you want

Mum to sing us a song?

Yeah, one.

What do you want me to play?

- My love?

- Neil Young again.

OK.

Where are the chochitos?

I don't have any today.

Can I go watch The Pink Panther, Dad?

Sure.

Can I go watch The Pink Panther?

- You also want The Pink Panther?

- Yes.

- Daddy!

- Careful, darling.

Little worm.

Little worm.

Look after your sister.

Eleazar!

Go ahead, kids.

Ask Chelita to start the internet.

- Yeah.

- I'll be there in a second.

Natalia.

Today I felt as I did

when I was a child.

I felt the grass of Cuernavaca

under my feet.

How it pushed between my toes.

I could feel every blade.

It was so cold at dusk.

And the red terrazzo floor...

"made of sand

and pieces of marble...

I looked at them one by one,

lying on the ground.

Each one had its own shape

and reflections.

I could tell each one apart.

I heard the room

where I slept with my cousins.

It had a special echo.

There was a poster of a cow

that said "Catalan Pyrenees".

When we opened the drawers.

It smelled of damp sheets and wood.

I would fall asleep,

licking the metal headboard...

...listening to the song of crickets

I've never heard since.

I don't know if they are extinct now

or if I simply stopped hearing them.

In the distance, I heard my parents

and family laughing.

All I had to do was exist.

Now it's Rut's and Eleazar's turn.

But I didn't feel the usual nostalgia.

Today, I felt love for all things.

A chair.

Glass.

Machines.

Wheels.

Even the loud music

that we hear from the village.

I saw how everything is alive...

...shining...

...all of the time.

I felt like a newly bathed baby.

Clean and dry.

I know I've been sick

at the end of my life.

I can see it clearly now.

Go with the kids, love.

But bring me the dogs first.

Have you thought about talking

to the police, love?

I still don't remember who it was.

Thanks, man!

- Let's go with Mum.

- Yes.

- You've really grown up, my girl!

- Yes, Daddy!

Duncan.

Duncan!

Samanta.

I'm only here for the children's sake.

How did you find me?

Samanta!

Someone has been trying to find us

on behalf of your boss.

Don Juan?

On behalf of Juan?

I guess so.

Please stay here.

I will sort everything out.

Mission accomplished!

Put some water here.

Lend me the hose.

Hello, Eleazar. Hello, Rut.

Sister!

You got me all wet!

Eleazar!

What are you doing on your own?

- Hello, Seven.

- Where's your dad?

Come play with us

cos Dad has died already.

Playing"-

The Lantern!

Playing"-

I'm going to play with the bulldozer.

Where is my bulldozer? Where?

The bulldozer. Here! Bring it over!

Samanta!

Samanta!

Samanta!

Merari!
