REPORTER:
The authorities are concerned

with the new outbreak of
pneumonia that's taking lives

in the San Patricio coal mines

located
in northwestern Antioquia.

Moreover, the prestigious

French anthropologist
Phillipe de la Croix

has been invited
by the central government

to carry out
archeological studies

related to mining
in the department of Boyacá.

We hope that his contribution
will serve for the scientific

and cultural development
of the region.

Ladies and gentlemen,

today is the perfect day

to freeze in time
your precious families.

Today is the perfect day

to take a picture
with the love of your life.

That was what
I wanted to tell you.

No.Then you would say that--

But I can't help it.Do you want a picture?

Let's see--Come on, it's my treat.

Are you sure?Let me treat you to a picture.

Hand them out to the ladies.

What you are about to see here
is an incredible act.

[GASPS]
It's too expensive.

Tell that to your father.
Is he your father?

Tell him to give us
a discount.

Benjamin, come here.

Stop flirting around.

When you are working,
you are not flirting.

If you are flirting,
then get us both a girlfriend.

I invite you.
The day is divine.

That can't be worth that much.Let's see.

You look beautiful.

Allow me.
Let me fix this.

We will move the family

REPORTER:
The new outbreak of pneumonia
is taking lives

in the San Patricio coal mines

located in northwestern
Antioquia.

According to studies

from two important universities
in France,

the spread
of pneumonia outbreaks

could be the result of the work
in the coal mines of the region

without proper sanitary
conditions.

The use of gloves and masks
has been ordered in mines

throughout the country.Fine, yes, sir.

A little bit every day.

Well, honey, bye.
Take care. Be strong.

It is not included.

No one paid for that.
It costs 70 pesos.

Seventy pesos.
How about a nice one?

Just like with other
respiratory diseases,

I told you to come at 6 a.m.

Do me a favor,

leave your overalls

I don't need you.

I give you four,

The business

The law is for everyone.

No one gets special treatment.

Those that are late

Poor guy, he's screwed up.

What do you mean
he's screwed up?

We should help him.

And how exactly
are we going to help him?

We should ask him
where he's going.

We can give him a ride.We can't give him a ride.

We are late.
We have a meeting.

It's with the governor.
We are late.

Besides, this type of tragedies

We will have to wait.
We can't do anything else.

You were in such a hurry,

There's people waiting.

Ma'am, what can we do?Wait for help.

See if we can talk
to Mr. Alirio.

We'll have to wait.

And what use is a secretary
who is of no use to me?

I better have a mechanic
instead of a secretary.

You see, God shapes the back
for the burden.

Don't treat the secretary
like that.

I'm talking
about the boy.

We didn't want
to give him a ride

and now he will
get there first.

And why don't we ask him
if he could send someone...

Are you capable
of asking him that?

Well, let me see

I will talk

We have to sweep quickly,

Here, Doña Dorita, please.

Doña Berta.

How are you, Matías?

You sent someone to call me.

Yes, yes, sir.

I need to know how we're going

Now that the doctor
is not there,

you will need someone
to help you.

Doña Berta.

I've always managed
the apothecary by myself.

I'm just waiting
for the new doctor.

That will take a while.

I sent someone,
and he told me

that all the doctors
were busy in Sogamoso.

Because of the pneumonia
outbreak.

And how long will it take,
Doña Berta?

Are you drinking again,
Mr. Matías?

No, Doña Berta,
that's nonsense.

I only had a beer
because I was thirsty.

Be careful.
Yes.

You have to take care
of all the patients in town.

It's a big responsibility.

Mm-hm.

But don't worry

because I got you

Look, Berta.

With all due respect,

I'm telling you

Look, Mr. Matías.

With all due respect,

I'm not asking

for all the help
with the herbs.

Don't worry,
Doña Berta.

Specially for your discretion.

Those herbs are for women.

Only for women.

I know those herbs are used
to not have babies, Doña Berta.

Don't worry.

And why don't you
want babies?

The mayor looks
so in love with you.

A baby can bring you
happiness.

Come here, honey.

God bless you, honey.

You must excuse me, Doña Berta.
You know Mr. Matías.

Yes, I know. Go.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO]

No, I already
added that.

MANOLO C
OCTOBER 01, 1939

I already have 35 pesos.

As soon as I get all the money,

I will buy you
a very pretty tombstone.

Don't worry. I got this.

With this cilantro we can make
the broth in the morning.

For breakfast.Yes.

Perfect.And with this lettuce

we can make a salad for lunch.Mm-hm.

Good. Look who's here.

Alfonso, honey.

How are you, Lucía?

He never stops.

And he even delivers ruanas.

THE INFLUENCES

CHILD:
Stop here.

Thank you.Thank you.

Whoever finds the biggest worm
will go fishing with us.

One-eyed.

I got your mom's medicines.

These are the pills.

How did you get them?

They are very expensive.

ALFONSO:
"The influences."

Don't tell anyone.

Did you find any?

Yes, I found one.

You are winning.

[♪♪♪]

APOTHECARY
SAINT JOHN OF GOD

One, two, three.

We have it
by the liter.

And we have
Merthiolate...

[INAUDIBLE]

I'll bring you the other pills
tomorrow. You'll get better.

Those are better.
We just ran out of them.

And we had to order them
from the warehouse.

[SIGHS]

How many stitches?

Six.

Six, six, six, Benjamin!

Six stitches!
I told you not to climb there.

Why did you do it?

You are not a goat!

What am I going
to tell your mom?

What are you going to say?

[SCOFFS]

Don't worry, Mr. Gabriel,
he's as good as new.

Why don't you drink
valerian water?

That will help you sleep.

How do you know that?

You have dark circles.

You scream a lot.

And your vest
is badly buttoned.

Do you think
the bone is affected?

No, it is superficial.

[WINCES][EXCLAIMS]

[♪♪♪]

It's a magical moment that
travels in time and stops.

The image enters
the camera upside down

and comes out right.

That's the nice part,
the magic.

Someday photography
will play an important role.

It will travel through time...[CHAINSAW BUZZING]

Listen. Listen to that machine.

It will destroy the trees,

and the trees
are on photographic paper.

Wouldn't you lose
the picture?

It fades with the sun rays.

But why don't you go
to Mr. Matías?

He must be waiting for you.

Goodbye.Alfonso, honey.

Ms. Lucía.

How are you?Very good.

Ms. Lucía.

Gabriel.

So glad to see you.
How are you?

Very good and you?
How are you?

Very well.
I'm in a good mood.

Do you notice something?

Yes, you seem happier.

Yes, the kid told me
to drink something,

I did, and I'm different know.
I'm happy.

And in exchange for what?
Look how is he riding the bike.

I taught him.

I taught him
almost everything.

Ms. Lucía, do you have
a few minutes?

Yes, of course.Come, sit.

I want to talk to you
about something.

I'm worried
about something I heard.

It's not good for the European.
They have other beliefs.

They can make really good
cameras. But nothing else.

Ms. Lucía, you can't live
with a man and not be married.

You deserve someone
who loves and respects you.

Someone who marries you.

Give me a chance, huh?

What chance, when?

Now.

Do me a favor and respect me.

The fact that I'm not married

doesn't mean
that I don't have dignity.

Besides, you and Benjamin are
dating all the girls in town.

For God's sake,
what are you saying?

That's what everyone says.

Ms. Lucía.

At least tell me
that you like me.

Bruno, let's go.

Ms. Lucía, think about it.

They say the gravedigger
pulls the teeth of the death

and makes collars with them.

Why would he want that?

That's a lie.
Don't make things up.

You don't care.
Since you don't have teeth.

Shut up. He will hear you.

Well, I'm not afraid.

Don't do it.

You broke it.

[♪♪♪]

Run, the gravedigger is coming.

Okay.

Come here.

Oh, no.

[GASPING]

He has asthma.

What... What?

He fell.

He looks bad.

He's sick.

What happened?

Breathe.

Thank you, son.

Alfonso, Alfonso,
go to Mrs. Dolores house.

She got very sick.
She's dying. Hurry.

Oh, God.

I forgot the pills.

Excuse me, excuse me.

APOTHECARY
SAINT JOHN OF GOD

What happened?

Mr. Matías.

Doña Dolores is dying.
She got sick.

And why didn't you call me?

They sent me to call Alfonso.
That's what they said.

I'm sorry, Mr. Matías,

but since you're always
drinking.

I'm sorry.

But I only drink
from time to time.

I have to go.
I left the girl alone. Goodbye.

This kid has been messing
with my drink.

Who knows for how long
I've been drinking anise water.

No wonder
you are in a better mood.

What the hell. Just shut up.

You have the least right
to talk in this town.

[♪♪♪]

[MUFFLED]
Is she alive?

She isn't breathing.

Alfonso.

Is she all right?

Is she okay? Tell me.

Grandma, wake up.

Granny.

Wake up, Granny.

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

Grandma,
wake up, please.

Granny.

Grandma!

[KIDS SCREAM]

Isn't that Alfonso?

No, Alfonso
can't ride a bike.

Yes, it's him.No.

Yes.Yes.

Yes. It's him.Yes.

Well done, Alfonso.

[SCREAMS]

WOMAN:
Lord give her eternal rest

ALL:
May perpetual light
shine for her

WOMAN:
Lord give her eternal rest

ALL:
May perpetual light

WOMAN:
Lord give her eternal rest

[♪♪♪]

Excuse me,
Mr. Matías.

Mr. Matías
will give you information.

Now, if you would
excuse me.

Alfonso
suffered head trauma.

The doctor says

he can't move
his legs or arms.

[CRYING]

Mr. Matías.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

Nurse.

Nurse!

[♪♪♪]

He moved his leg.

Tell the doctor, hurry up.

You don't have
alcoholic breath anymore.

No.

No, I don't.

[BELL RINGS]

GABRIEL:
It's a miracle.

The doctor said
that he wouldn't be able

to move a toe
after that accident.

And a few days later,
he's moving more than us.

Am I lying?No, it's true.

And the bike he was riding.

They say you taught him.

No, I can't ride a bike.
I can... Cover your ears.

I can only ride a mare.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Wow.

Very well, secretary.

Look, that bike

belonged to Mr. Matías's
deceased son.

That's why he wouldn't lend it.

Mr. Matías stayed with the boy
the whole time at the hospital.

Until he woke up.

It seems that the boy
made Mr. Matías stop drinking.

He quit drinking.
Do you know how?

He gave him distilled water
with anise.

And do you know
what else he did?

He told me to drink

a valerian infusion.
I started drinking it.

I used to have insomnia.
Now I don't.

Is that right, secretary?

He's always sleeping now.

[ALL LAUGHING]

[♪♪♪]

BOY:
Alfonso. Alfonso. Come here.

Wait.

Do me a favor.

Please check my dad,
he has chest pain.

I can't help anyone.

Alfonso. Alfonso.

PRIEST [OVER PA]:
Parish announcements.

We invite the community

to celebrate the mass
for Dolores Rosales.

Ceremony to be held at 4 p.m.

[♪♪♪]

GRAVEDIGGER:
When did you
get out of the hospital?

A few days ago.

Uh-huh.

Who are all these people?

The dead.

The dead
that I have buried.

All of them.

Each one of them was helped
by me to cross the river.

In my boat.

How did Doña Dolores die?

Dolores didn't want
to live anymore.

She wasn't here anymore.

She had one leg here,
and one on the other side.

Their granddaughters found some
pills she was supposed to take

under her bed.

[CHUCKLES]

So I didn't kill her.

She had already made
a decision.

You are a good painter.

I can show you.

Araminta.

Your mom.

And why is there a drawing
of you over there?

[SIGHS, CHUCKLES]

Who will draw me
when I die?

Of course.

I want you to come with me.
Let's go.

[♪♪♪]

[EXCLAIMS SOFTLY]

Thank you.

I used the money you were
saving in that bottle.

And with the help
of Ms. Lucía and Salomé,

we gathered the rest
with the townspeople.

[CHUCKLING]

[SIGHS]

[TEARFULLY]
Thank you.

BOY:
Yes, who is it?

Alfonso, wait,
I'll open the door.

Father, Alfonso is here.

Wait, I'll open the door.

[DOOR OPENS]

There you go.

Thank you, Mr. Eduardo.

Thanks to you.
God bless you.

I'm coming, Doña Berta.

Doña Berta.

Mr. Mayor.

MAYOR:
He's looking good.
He looks recovered.

No, no, wait.

I'll help him.

Since he's just recovering...

What are you doing
with this cage without birds?

Reynaldo, please.

Okay. Hold this.

Hold this, please.
It's steep.

That's it, son.

He looks better.

He looks good.
His cheeks are red.

I'm very happy to see you.

Let's go.

Come here.
Rest a bit. Good.

Sit down.

Let me help you.

That's it.

And thank you for the things
you brought to the hospital.

Did you like them?

Yes, I did.
And they fit me.

We need to talk
about something.

What is it,
Doña Berta?

About school.

We have a place
where you can stay.

Don't worry, Doña Berta.

Why wouldn't we worry?

You have to go to school so you
can be an important person.

Okay, let's go.

There you go.

That's it, son.

That's it.

That's it.
Let's go, honey.

Come here, my first lady.

The first lady of my heart.

Be careful.
