The Blind Sunflowers Page #2

---

Mr. Camilo, Paquito's father, is taking us.

Be careful, ok?

Yes, dad.

How's everything?

I am finishing. You can take it tomorrow.

Let's see if they pay me.

Why won't they pay you?

Yes, actually.

Prepare a dose for me, come on.

Another one, another one!

You screwed it again!

You must wait for all to seat, f***!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

Twelve plus one, thirteen. A Father's dozen.

But this one is not for eating. He just sings.

Somebody wants it?

Me, me, me!

It's yours.

You all, collect firewood.

Stand up!

Let's see.

He shouldn't water nor canary seed, ok?

And now to work.

Can you pluck them?

What?

F***! The birds.

In order to fry them, we first need to pluck them, right?

Good afternoon.

Hello, hello. Blessed be the eyes! How are you doing, dear lady?

Well, very well, and you?

Not as beautiful as you.

and so prompt.

This way it's a pleasure.

A thorough job.

Clean, without a blot.

You are very gentile.

I brought the receipt. I must make some payments tomorrow, and if you could...

But of course. Love is paid with love.

Please take advantage and make your call, lady.

You don't mind?

I don't mind at all. It is my pleasure.

Yes?

Aunt Lola?

What's up, Elena, how are you doing?

So so, aunt. Elena left.

If you're alone, just Lorencillo and you...

... and without the girl, wouldn't you be better with me?

I think about it many times, auntie.

I have to leave you now. A very strong kiss, aunt.

Thanks a lot.

You are German?

Not, not. I am from Betanzos.

But as the adage goes:

Motherland is where you earn a life from.

And you, how do you know German?

During the war I exchanged mail with a pilot from the Condor Legion.

But this cannot be true! How can you learn German by writing letters?

He was killed by the reds.

My condolences.

The truth is...

I do not know what would have happened with us...

... without the generous aid of the German comrades.

Now, with our Wolfram...

... the Fhrer will conquer Europe.

That's life, my son, what can you do about it?

Between the cage and the frying-pan,

would it choose the frying-pan?

I know. But I'm sad.

The water is still cold...

Paquito says that we will

soon be able to swim in the river.

Of course.

The summer is almost here.

Yes, but as I can't swim...

You will learn soon.

Paquito was taught by his father.

Wouldn't you like going to the river?

Yes, of course.

And when will you be able to go?

We'll go. OK?

We'll go.

And Portugal, where is it?

That way.

Let's go, supper is ready.

Do you think he will sing?

Of course.

Here we are, mom.

Going.

Soon.

What's there for supper, mom?

Marinated sardines and salad.

Come on, put the table.

You know, mom?

Paquito says that I never let then

come to play at home.

What do we do? If people

start gossiping, it's bad news.

Let them come.

Offer them a snack and that's it.

Yes, something will have to be done.

Lorenzo...

Elenita is not here.

Oops! I forgot.

Come on, f***.

What was it, what was it?

I'm still without milk.

Well, we already have milk.

"Face to the sun with the new shirt..."

"... that you embroidered

in red yesterday..."

"... death will find me, if it reaches me..."

"... and I do not come back to see you..."

I will form next to my friends..."

Why aren't you singing, son?

Yes, I'm singing.

You singing? Do you think I'm an idiot?

You don't know the letter,

or it is that you do not like it?

He doesn't understand it.

What did you say?

I'm saying that my son

does not want to die...

... because he wants to live.

To live for me. For his mother.

Good, I understand, but the homeland...

The homeland is also a mother,

lady, as much as any other.

Of course. I say this to him some times...

But the kid was absent-minded.

Please forgive him.

OK, but we need to talk, Ok?

What's your name?

Elena.

Let me do, brother Tenancies, he is my pupil.

A good pupil.

"Go, swords, be successful..."

"In Spain the dawn starts."

- Spain! - One!

- Spain! - Great!

- Spain! - Free!

- Long Live Franco! - Long Live!

- Avnet Spain! - Avnet!

It was the kid's mistake.

It won't happen again.

Do not worry, it's nothing serious.

His age, poor thing, he had no malice.

None. None. Believe me, brother...

Salvador.

It is my given name. It's not related

with my having saved you...

... from the patriotic claws

of brother Venancio.

What is the name?

Lorenzo.

Not, woman, yours.

Ah!

Elena. How silly!

Come on! Go to the classroom.

Elena, we should talk about Lorenzo.

I promise he will learn

"Face to the sun" thoroughly.

I know he does not have

problems to learn what he needs.

He is intelligent.

He is endowed for studying.

But there is something...

... strange.

Strange?

Yes. I do not know...

... absences, perhaps.

I catch him some times absent minded.

As in, sometimes yes

and sometimes not.

Am I clear, Elena?

Well, I do not know, maybe it's...

shyness.

He is still a boy, and you know,

in this age...

And now that brother Venancio priest

cannot hear us,

Patriotic spirit, ha has none.

Is there any reason?

What reason could it be?

I do not believe that a boy in this age can...

Excuse me, you're right.

And in the studies, he's an example.

Just check the results.

I know you help him

with his homework.

Without a father, of course...

I will try to help you.

It's no effort for me

to give him a little attention.

Lorenzo and you deserve it.

And, from time to time,

I'll let you know, Elena,

so you know what's going on.

I do not know, we can have a snack,

or take a walk.

I can go to your place,

if it's more convenient for you.

I do not know, I am not used

to this type of situations and...

at home, not, for sure.

What is more convenient for you, of course.

Whatever you prefer.

Of course.

Now please forgive me. I have duties.

Yes.

The classroom is waiting for me.

ORIGINAL SIN.

God had allowed them to eat all the fruits...

but one.

And this one, exactly this one...

was the one they ate.

The woman, Eve, came...

and offered it to the man, Adam.

and Adam bit the fruit.

Look, it's here. Adam's apple.

Can you see?

And at this very moment...

God sent its archangelic infantry..

and banished our first parents from Paradise.

It banished them, and everybody else,

for ever.

It was the end of life without working

and giving birth without pain.

There came wars and death.

Sin went into our blood.

Do you want to come up to my house?

My mother made a snack.

Yeah!

Oh, how pretty! - I want to see.

Not, I had just had it.

And what is this?

A theater.

Look, when I start the show, they talk.

What do they talk about?

See.

"Good morning, I am a shepherd,

and I fear the wolf".

Which wolf?

"Auuuu"

"Auuuu"

"Auuuuu"

Does he kill the shepherd?

No way. Here it comes the hunter...

And he shots the wolf. And he dies.

The snack.

Cool!

Are you hungry?

Yes!

When are you going to sing?

Learn.
