There Be Dragons

Greetings ,translated by :

"all wars begin long before

from firing the first shot "

"and continues long after the latest

has completed its mission"

when fascism and communism

spread across Europe,

In Spain, established a new

republic with a leftist government.

after years of political and

social instability in the summer of 1936

a group of generals of the

army led an uprising

which became a bitter and lengthy civil war.

Families were broken, the

brothers killed each other

they had to swear on the Bible

or spit on it

all faced the same question:

"and you are on which side ?"

THERE BE DRAGONS

This film is inspired by real events

I was a war baby.

but luckily for me ,I hadn't have to fight

in any of the 165 wars that have occurred

in my lifetime

my father ,wasn't so lucky

when he was a young man

every one in Spain had to take sides

and take up arms

the decision may have taken a second

but the consequences

lasted the rest of his life

he never talked about the war

until I was asked to write a book about a

dead priest

(Josemaria Escriva)

and then he began to talk and talk

and talk

and that's how I went looking for a saint

and found my father instead

I think it was Oscar Wilde who wrote :

(Irish-born poet author and playwright

who spent most of his career in England,

author of "The Picture of Dorian Gray)

"Every saint has a past"

"and every sinner has a future"

Josemaria !

father ! ,quick

quick get a doctor

in june 1976 ,

the nun was at the point of death

diagnosed with a multiple granulomatous tumor

causing pain

and turning a mass the size of an orange

on her left shoulder

cured in a sudden and lasting way

after the...

"...servant of Gad (Josemaria Escriva)

"have been invoked"

to my son ,Roberto Torres

(delivered after my death)

I was 9

when Josemaria's path crossed mine

a long time ago

Roberto ,you were often told me that I was a terrible father

what I never told you,

is that I agree with you

there's so much I haven't told you that you need to know

so if you want to hear about the past

I'll tell you

but I warn you :

THERE BE DRAGONS

Manolo ,are you ok ?

I was a little terror like most boys

Josemaria was no saint either

there was one day ,he almost kill me

good ride my boy

Paro?

- stop ,stop

- no ,come one

drive it like a Torres ,Manolo !

faster

Manolo,are you alright?

are you mad?!

Josemaria,I speak to your father

he should give you a beating

I hate this city

I'm tempted to sell everything

and go back to Madrid

- can I drive again papa?

- no Manolo ,enough

Fairy Tales Dragons II

here is the first one

see ?

there are many kinds of dragons

you will have to face

she scares me

don't be scared ,Manolo

- how many dragons are there ,Abileyza ?

- many Josemaria

but what matter is how you

will face them as you shal see

Josemaria's nany talked about dragons as if they really existed

a quarter of a century passed

before I realized she was right

but things happend is Josemaria's life

that ment he underestood this before I did

my baby ,why ?

Josemaria lost three sisters

I lost a baby brother

in those days death was part of life

mama ?

do you hate God now ?

no dearest

I love him very much

will you hate him when he takes me away

come here

I'm sorry about your sister

Josemaria's father owned that chocolate factory

the manager was a strange old guy

O Honrio.

we know we like what's here

we know that we want what's here

but what is here exactly ?

just set this on your tongue

for five seconds

now chew ,three times

Manolo ,you taste what ?

armond

armond ?!

- cinnamon

- cinnamon ?!

don't scoff

yes ,cinnamon

alright you can go

Josemaria, you stay here

I scolded Manolo for mugging wasn't count experience

not because he couln't experience it

huh ,look at this

ugly ,isn't it ?

just a poor ordinary little bean

yet patient...,

skill ,hard work

and love

end unleash the divine

flavors hidden with in it

here

do you understand the lesson ?

but not everyone has

taste the divine in it

why is that I wonder...

Manolo!

wait for me !

stop Manolo

my favorite trick in those days

was stealing Josemaria's

dad's chocolates

but then his dad went bankrupt

and lost the chocolate factory

...and I wasn't allowed to

play with Josemaria anymore

my dad thought poverty was contagious

he said that Josemaria wasn't one of us

and my dad could be quite persuasive

my dad had more money

more cars

more houses

but Josemaria had more "dads"

I see the envy began to grow in me

in a child's heart many

seeds are planted

you never quite know what will grow

I'm sure he didn't see us

around that time ,Josemaria changed

I'll tell you the story

as he told it to me

one cold winter night

Josemaria saw footprints

in the snow outside his house

he fallowed him

and then he saw someone

and he felt that God was calling him

it was unusual in those days
