Short filmTranscript
00:19The day I was born, my grandma Clara saw my future, and she said the stars had a line
00:27to bestow me with gifts that would overcome any terrible twists of fate, but in time I forgot.
01:02Grandma.
01:27Grandma.
01:28Grandma.
01:31Grandma.
01:35Grandma.
02:10My grandma wrote in her diaries that memory is fragile.
02:15And the course of life is so brief that we fail to perceive the connection between events.
02:22And we cannot measure the consequences of our actions.
02:37That's why ever since she was little, my grandma recorded everything in hundreds of life diaries.
02:44So that 50 years later, I could use her writings to reclaim the past and overcome horrors of my own.
03:13Clara Del Valle, my grandma.
03:16Always had one foot in this world and the other in the afterlife.
03:20Give it back, Louise. Give it to me.
03:22But you gave it to me.
03:22No, I did not.
03:23Of course you did.
03:24Hey, I'm trying to concentrate.
03:25Give it back.
03:26Stop, Dad. Give it back.
03:28Give it to me.
03:28Mom said you should hurry.
03:30I asked for it yesterday.
03:30No, I never meant to give it back.
03:32What on God's great earth are you all doing here?
03:33It's mine.
03:34Huh?
03:34Didn't I already tell you to go to the dress?
03:36Now go.
03:37And you, Clarita, huh?
03:39You also have to get ready for mass, my child.
03:42I won't go.
03:44You can't stay here.
03:46You don't get to make the rules, young lady.
03:48Mom!
03:49Hannah, no!
03:50Oh, Lord.
03:51These kids think the house tighties up after itself.
03:54Sweetie, go over there.
03:56You're going to end up all sweaty.
03:58Nana, help me.
03:59God, we are planning for mass.
04:01Clara developed her psychic powers with encouragement from her beloved Uncle Marcos.
04:07An insatiable explorer who gathered esoteric knowledge from all over the world.
04:12I won't go to mass.
04:14Why not?
04:14Uncle Marcos is on his way.
04:17Sweetie, Uncle Marcos is still traveling.
04:19He's far, far away, honey.
04:21I know, but he's coming.
04:22And I want to be home when he gets here.
04:25I have no idea.
04:36Her older sister, Rosa, was the only one who really understood Clara's eccentricities.
04:42Maybe because she didn't belong to this world either.
04:50This place is great to hide out in.
04:52These creatures are good at protecting.
04:55Can you tell me why we're hiding now?
04:57I don't get why we have to go to mass.
04:59Mom says we can speak to God directly if we want.
05:02Right.
05:03I'm going to tell you a secret.
05:05There's a lot of things in this world I'll never understand.
05:08But I've reached the conclusion that it's because some are just illogical.
05:13Don't you think you're a little alone for this?
05:16Dad, if you're talking about my embroidery, I'm not going to stop until it's the biggest
05:21cable cloth in the world.
05:22Time to go.
05:31Good morning.
05:33Hello, ladies.
05:34How are you?
05:36Hi.
05:37How are you?
05:39Good morning.
05:40Great entrance, Kevin.
05:41Doña Oliveira.
05:43Good morning.
05:44Please, I reserved the third row so that you can sit together.
05:46Perfect.
05:46We'll be right there.
05:48Excuse me.
05:49No, no, no, no.
05:49Please don't.
05:51Honey, look, they're watching us.
05:53It's not normal.
05:54Well, get accustomed to it.
05:55It'll be worse when you are elected, Senator.
05:57On this Holy Thursday, we enter into penance, remembering the day when Jesus Christ, the
06:02Son of God, gave his life for our sins.
06:06So it is, brothers and sisters.
06:06Dad, good thing they put the colors on the saints, because the blood they paint on them
06:12is disgusting.
06:13Shh, pay attention, clever.
06:17Oh, my God, look at Rosa.
06:20She's from another planet, right?
06:22She's an angel.
06:23Or a mermaid.
06:24They all bear responsibility for the sacrifice of a savior to spare a criminal called Baramas.
06:31And now hell awaits us all.
06:33Unless we turn back in repentance, you come back there.
06:36Unbelievable.
06:38After all this time, they keep selling us the story of hell as if it was fresh bread.
06:47Why does that look like that?
06:49Should I leave now?
06:50Yeah.
06:52Shh.
06:52Oh, my God, please be quiet.
06:54Oh, my God, who's she talking to?
06:55I'm not asking this.
06:57I really miss you, Enconacos.
07:00Look on the bright side.
07:01Now I don't have to get on a boat to come see you.
07:04I just have to do this, and voila.
07:07Isn't it great?
07:09Baramas!
07:10Feliz Baramas!
07:11Feliz Baramas!
07:12Have you practiced your powers?
07:17Many of the living would give anything to do what we can.
07:22You're special, Plata.
07:24You're going to help so many people.
07:26A horde of pure sinners saved him.
07:28Saved Baramas from the fires of hell.
07:32Which one do you want me to release?
07:34The chief priests and the elders.
07:36They suggested the multitude to choose Baramas, to save Baramas, standing in opposition to those who call for Christ's salvation.
07:45That is why the bandit Baramas was saved.
07:48That's why, that is the reason why every one of you sinners must do penance.
07:52Or you'll spend the rest of eternity burning in the flames of hell.
07:55Straight to hell!
07:57Back then, the...
08:02Father Estreple, what if hell doesn't exist?
08:05What do you say, Brat?
08:07What did you say?
08:08Well, you've never been dead, so...
08:10You can't possibly know what's on the other side.
08:13You must be possessed by the devil!
08:15What is going on?
08:17She is possessed!
08:19Madness!
08:21Prideful!
08:22Father!
08:23That girl is possessed by the devil!
08:25Be gone!
08:25Only a fanatic like Father Estreple can still believe in the devil in the 20th century.
08:29Yes, but that's not the point.
08:31The point is, if they find out about Clarita's sex spirits, people will start gossiping.
08:35My candidacy for the Liberal Party has gone to hell.
08:37Oh, don't exaggerate.
08:39I can't deal with people talking about my family immediately.
08:41We've had enough of him, brother.
08:43Oh, no.
08:44I'm not going to let you blame Marcos for every little thing that comes to mind.
08:47I knew he would be a better influence on Clara.
08:49And now, he's not...
08:49Careful what you say, Severo del Valle.
08:52Remember that our family will always be more important than our personal agenda.
08:56Don't you forget.
08:57And we love Clarita just the way she is.
09:07I'm so hungry.
09:08I need to eat now.
09:12Teresa!
09:12Stop that, Anna!
09:13No, Anna, no.
09:14Wait, my leg!
09:15She's so annoying!
09:17Mom, who are they?
09:19Uncle Marcos?
09:20It's Uncle Marcos!
09:21Marcos!
09:22What is it?
09:23Your brother's here.
09:25I mean, your brother's body.
09:29What is it?
09:30Nana.
09:30Nana.
09:40Marcos!
09:42Open it!
09:43That was how Uncle Marcos returned from his last trip.
09:47He'd been killed by a mysterious African disease that made you wrinkled and yellowed like papyrus.
09:52Clarita, the tortoise is coming.
09:57Oh, my God.
09:59Oh, my God.
10:00I'm so sorry, Mom.
10:04Oh, my God.
10:18Rosa!
10:22Little dog.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:29Oh, oh, it's all right.
10:34He's so proud of us.
10:42That would have been one of the saddest days of her life if Barrabás hadn't arrived with Uncle Marcos's possessions
10:49and Rosa hadn't been by her side supporting her.
10:57Oh, Charita, Uncle Marcos brought so many books.
11:02Take a peek.
11:04He wrote down all of his adventures.
11:07Look, Paris.
11:08Wow.
11:10Clara, you could follow in his footsteps, right?
11:14Write down your adventures.
11:16Here's a little diary.
11:18It's brand new.
11:20Look.
11:34Anytime.
11:48Barrabás came into the family by sea.
11:51Those were the first words my grandma wrote in her life diaries, as she liked to call them.
12:06That is called bribery, and it's a crime.
12:10In this country, all of the most respected senators got into Congress in this manner.
12:16But I'm a lawyer.
12:18My job is to protect laws and prevent abuses exactly like this from occurring.
12:22Well, the scandal on this past Holy Thursday didn't go over well, my friend, and we're on the verge of
12:28the elections.
12:32Look, I promised my wife that if I did this, I would play fair.
12:35Well, if just keeping her happy is what you need, this is the best way.
12:41No other man except you will push forward the petition of the suffragettes.
12:47We have to talk to the real people, with the townspeople, and go door to door, break into the factory,
12:53and really make some noise.
12:55If my husband is elected senator, we'll be able to make those changes from Congress.
13:00Maybe, if your husband were a woman, like us.
13:03We want others to make changes, and we haven't even thought about taking off our courses.
13:06Oh, that's true.
13:07You take it off now.
13:09Look at this show.
13:11Señora.
13:13Look, another letter for Rosa.
13:15Hmm, thank you, Nana.
13:17Mom?
13:19May I see?
13:20No.
13:20From Esther Trueva's son.
13:22Yes, the young man secured a claim for a gold mine.
13:25Poor guy, he's been mining for almost two years.
13:26Hmm, how long.
13:27Well, why, Mommy?
13:28Because he's a man who's very determined, and I really like that.
13:32Right?
13:32Because when a woman's as beautiful as Rosa, men are too timid to even approach her.
13:38Wow, wow.
13:41Look.
13:42Oh, it's beautiful, Clarita.
13:44Can we buy Rosa?
13:45Let's see.
13:54Hmm.
14:00Come on, girls.
14:01Let's go.
14:02Ah, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo.
14:03Always talking to Sita.
14:04Savages.
14:06Korea fools.
14:12Excuse me.
14:16What's your name?
14:18Who wants to know?
14:20Esteban Trueva.
14:22Keep walking, or I won't hear the end of this.
14:27Her name is Rosa del Valle, and she has nobody else courting her.
14:31Stop.
14:32Stop.
14:32What are you doing, young lady?
14:34Rosa.
14:39That afternoon, the beautiful Rosa entered Esteban Trueva's life like a distracted angel
14:45stealing his soul.
14:48And from then on, he promised himself that he'd do anything he could to become a wealthy
14:54man, worthy of taking her to the altar.
15:05Rosa, another letter.
15:07May I read it?
15:09My beloved, beautiful Rosa.
15:11The second tier...
15:13The second tier are endless without you.
15:16I want someone to love me as much as Esteban loves Rosa.
15:19I still don't understand what love has to do with mining a bunch of rocks to get rich.
15:24Because he adores you.
15:26I don't want gold.
15:27Neither do I.
15:28Don't you want somebody to give you a house like this?
15:31No.
15:32What do you mean?
15:34You'll live off of your made-up creatures?
15:36Maybe?
15:37I want that too.
15:39I don't get it.
15:40You want that too?
15:51Clara!
15:51For Clara, time passed with nothing more noteworthy than the limitless growth of her dog, Barrabás.
16:00Popular fantasy and ignorance regarding his breed led to attributing him with mythological
16:06characteristics.
16:09Everyone adored him, except the new senator Severo del Valle.
16:13Diana!
16:14You missed from hell!
16:15And Nana.
16:16Out!
16:17Get out!
16:18Get out!
16:22Get out!
16:25Get out!
16:27Get out!
16:28Get out!
16:30Get out!
16:31Get out!
16:32Get out!
16:33Get out!
16:34Get out!
16:35Get out!
16:40Get out!
16:41Get out!
16:44Get out!
16:45Get out!
16:48Get out!
16:48Get out!
16:49Get out!
16:49Get out!
17:04Someone's going to die
17:09What's wrong, honey?
17:12Someone's about to die
17:13What?
17:15No, my love, don't worry about it
17:17That won't happen, alright?
17:18But, wait, Clara said I was going to fall off the horse and it did happen
17:22Please do me the honor of congratulating the new Senator of the Republic
17:29Have you seen our girls or something?
17:31You better change those sad faces today, we're celebrating
17:34Sir, more gifts
17:36It's a nice liquor
17:37And a roast pig came from your voters in the South
17:40I think I should travel soon to thank them
17:42No, don't go, Dad
17:44What's wrong with her?
17:45I'll explain later
17:47That's it, careful now, don't let it fall and get ruined
17:52It's a massive creature
17:54It's a massive creature
17:54Oh
18:22It's a massive creature
18:25It's a massive creature
18:26I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm hurt
18:41I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
18:50Cervato, please, everyone, if you'd come to hear a few words from our Honorable Senator.
18:54Huge.
18:57Let's listen to your phone.
19:02Thank you all for coming here to celebrate this day with me.
19:05Although I think I should really be thanking the lack of candidates.
19:11Mom, I don't have anything bad to happen to my dad.
19:14No, help me just fine, my love. Don't worry about it.
19:16It's a great honor for me to represent the Liberal Party in Congress.
19:21As you all know, I have been fortunate enough to live a life full of privilege.
19:27And the time has come for me to get back.
19:30I hope you enjoyed the superb meal and that you return for a second for my family's sake.
19:36We'll be eating Southern style pork for a week.
19:40Cheers.
19:41Cheers.
19:43Bravo. Congratulations.
19:47Ett.
19:56No, no, no.
20:01Come on.
20:02Come on.
20:03It's over.
20:05Come on.
20:19I don't want anybody to die.
20:21Don't worry.
20:22We're having a nightmare.
20:24Here, try to sleep.
20:25I'm scared.
20:26Stay with me.
20:27Of course.
20:28Move over.
20:32It's freezing.
20:39You know I'll always be here with you.
20:42Don't you forget.
20:50Your hand.
20:58It's a common cold.
21:00See?
21:01I told you.
21:02Give her lemonade with sugar and some liquor to sweat off the fever.
21:05No, no.
21:05Give her the liquor I was giving as a gift.
21:09I appreciate it.
21:10I'll walk you through the door.
21:29That same day, after a long period of isolation and effort, Esteban got what he was longing for.
21:47He could finally fulfill his dream of marrying Rosa.
21:53Give me the red thread, please.
21:54Nana.
21:55Nana.
21:56But our boss will be on the tablecloth.
21:58At any moment, that beast is going to grow horns.
22:01Anyways.
22:04Cheers.
22:06Cheers?
22:07Drink it all?
22:09Mm-hmm.
22:13Here.
22:15Thank you, Nana.
22:19Oh!
23:11What are you doing there, Clarita?
23:15Why is it so dark? What's wrong?
23:17Why does it smell so much like roses in here?
23:24Rosita?
23:29Sweetie?
23:30Rosa?
23:32Oh! Oh God!
23:34Oh!
23:37Doña Lidia!
23:40Don Catero!
23:41Don Catero!
23:57Don Catero!
24:05Don Catero!
24:07Don Catero!
24:08Don Catero!
24:12Don Catero!
24:29Don Catero!
24:29I'm very sorry.
24:31This wasn't caused by a mere fever.
24:36Did Rosa do something out of the ordinary?
24:39Maybe she ate something the others didn't try.
24:43Nothing, no, I don't know.
24:47Um...
24:47That lemonade that you told me to give her with a dash of liquor.
24:52Clarita!
24:57I think it was me.
24:59No!
24:59No!
25:00No, it wasn't your fault.
25:01You mustn't say that again.
25:02You hear me?
25:04Promise?
25:30I wasn't expecting you today.
25:31Today.
25:36Yeah.
25:37Yeah.
25:46Yeah.
26:05I suspect this is what killed your daughter.
26:08What did you say?
26:10I need your authorization to perform an autopsy.
26:18But do you need to cut her open?
26:20No, Severo, no. Not completely, no.
26:22I won't have to touch her head.
26:24But to do that, I need to take Rosa to the morgue.
26:27To the morgue.
26:29Nivya.
26:30Not to the morgue.
26:31No, no, no, no.
26:33All right.
26:34No one will be taking my daughter away.
26:36Of course not.
26:37Yes, she stays.
26:40Do you swear?
26:41Swear it.
26:42Swear, Severo.
26:43Swear to me.
26:44You.
26:49Nivya.
26:51My lover.
26:53My lover.
26:53My lover.
26:54Hey.
26:55Don't touch her.
26:57Don't touch her.
26:59Nivya.
26:59It's all right.
27:00Nivya.
27:01Please, Nivya.
27:02Here, just drink.
27:03Calm your nerves.
27:04Please, just to sit.
27:04Just to sit.
27:13Sorry, my love.
27:14I'm doing this for the family.
27:18Nana.
27:19Tell everyone to go home for the night.
27:21Yes, sir.
27:22And have Clarita sleep with Teresa.
27:23Please, Nana.
27:25She can't sleep alone.
27:30Stop.
27:42Sorry.
27:43Severo.
27:47Good evening, Shrarai.
27:50Where are you?
28:09There was rat poison in the bottle of liquor.
28:13It was enough to foul an ox.
28:17Now we only have to prove medically that it was an assassination.
28:23We need to untrust her, Saito.
28:40It can't be my child.
29:10I'm so sorry, I can't stay.
29:34Rosa?
29:44Sir?
29:45Where's our darling Rosa?
29:50Sir?
29:54With the doctor.
29:56In the kitchen.
29:58Wait, please stay.
30:00Stay here.
30:02Come have a drink.
30:05Please.
30:08Have a seat.
30:10Have a seat.
30:14Have a seat.
30:39It's my fault, Dinah.
30:41No.
30:41I'm afraid it was my fault.
30:43It should be me.
30:45I'm the one who should be dead.
30:47No, don't say that, sir.
30:48That way, Rosa.
30:53No.
30:57No.
30:58No.
30:59No.
31:00No.
31:23Poor child.
31:24This was men
31:25First of all, I have to let him know.
31:34I'm quitting politics.
31:36And the Liberal Party as well.
31:39All that rubbish.
31:53And no one in my family will ever get mixed up in politics again.
32:37I'm quitting politics.
33:07I'm quitting politics.
33:15My grandma Clara carried all the emptiness of the world within her.
33:21She was utterly swallowed by silence.
33:33And she kept her voice locked away for nine long years.
33:45Rosal's murder was the first of many acts of violence that shaped the fate of my family.
34:04The police tried to follow the trail of the poisoned bottle, but neither they nor the detective hired by my
34:10great-grandfather Severo could find the identity of the assassins.
34:14Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death.
34:18And the shadow of vengeance deferred has haunted every generation that followed.
