Arantxa?

The bathroom is free.

Good morning, mum.

Good morning, son.

Are you hungry?

Do you want an omelette?

No, I've got enough with this.

Aren't you going to eat?

Yes, I'll have some milk later.

Did you wake up Arantxa?

Yes, she'll come in a minute.

I'm going to make you an omelette.

If you don't eat it now,
you can eat it at the factory.

Alright.

Good morning.
-Good morning.

Jazz Radio

Is Ander in the orchard?

Yes.

Bring him lunch.

And tell him not to be late.

Why?

Evaristo is coming to dinner tonight.

Evaristo?

Yes.

Mum said not to be late.

Why?

Evaristo is coming for dinner.

Evaristo?

Did mum invite him?

Where do you want me to leave your lunch?

On the chair by the door.

I'll wash up first.

Has Evaristo come to visit mum
since dad passed away?

Evaristo?

He did at first. Don't you remember?

You weren't that small.

I'm sorry, I'm late.

How are you, Evaristo?

Fine, fine.

A little older than yesterday,
but still alive.

Didn't Arantxa tell you we had a guest?

I told him.

I'm asking your brother, not you.

She told me, but I got delayed.

I bumped into Peio. We started talking
and when I realized what time it was...

And how is he doing?

It's been a while since I last saw him.

Young people don't go to Church any more.

And I only get out to go to Mass...

I didn't know you were a religious man.

Yes, I've got Faith... and Hope.

But I mostly go to see people there.

I've got Windows 95 and that works.

And it will work.

Yes, my computer
science teacher told me.

My electrical devices are fine.

Do you have a computer at home?
-No, I don't.

But I don't think that
other electrical devices will crash.

It must be Inaki.

Tell him not to call at this time.

He knows we're having dinner.

You know it's been a long time since
we had Evaristo over for dinner.

Yes, a long time.

Do you mind if I turn this up?

I want to hear this.

Of course. This is your home, Ander.

...they're functioning around time,

not around date or day.

Microwaves work in a similar way

and also the alarm-clocks.

None of them use

date or day system for recording.

Water heaters also work with timer.

Video recorders, cameras and computers are

some of the electrical devices
that could get damaged.

What do you think, Andres?

Is something going to happen?

Don't call me that, please.

Sorry... I forgot.

Ander is late, he should be here by now.

He probably bumped into Peio

and they're chatting.

Don't sit down!

Go look for him before it gets dark.

Take it easy, mum...

And take a flashlight.
-Yes.

Ander!

Ander!

Ander!

Oh, my God, Ander!

What happened to you?
-I fell.

My leg hurts.

Go find Peio and bring the car.

You can't do it by yourself.

And what if he's not home?

I better get the car.
I'll bring it as close as I can.

And you will be able to carry me?

Peio is at home, I'm positive!

Don't waste time, Arantxa.
Just hurry, damn it!

Peio!

Be quiet.

It's Ander, he's hurt.

I'm sorry.

What? Does it hurt?

Take it easy, we're almost there.

Five more minutes.

You...

...caught me at the worst moment with Reme.

10.000 pesetas wasted.

Next time, it's on you...

You hear me?

I told your sister a cousin of
mine came for a visit.

I did it for Reme.

People gossip enough about her,

we don't want more of that.

Arantxa heard the baby crying.

Fucking kid, he always
cries at the wrong time.

How is Ander?

He's back home now.

Fractured tibia.
At least two months in a cast.

Poor thing.

Are you going to sleep?
It's almost dawn.

No.

I'm not going to sleep.

This had to happen now.

It's less than a month
till your sister's wedding.

I'll have to do all the house work.

Don't worry, mother.

You've got enough on your plate,

you don't need more work.

Especially physical work.

We'll hire someone.

Someone, who?

There's no young people
left in the country.

They all work in Bilbao
or in the factories of Durango.

And once they leave,
they don't come back.

Someone will come.

If you were married,
we wouldn't have this problem.

Begona was young and strong.

She could have managed
the farm by herself.

Mother, don't start with that now.

Yes, I better be quiet.

But to think that your
sister, 14 years younger,

is getting married before you.

It's hard to believe.

Inaki hires help sometimes.

Ask him, he might know someone.

Inaki told me that there's a Peruvian

man working on farms around here.

Peruvian?

Yes, mother, from Peru.

How am I supposed to communicate with him?

Ander and I will understand him.

There has to be someone else around here,

someone who's not a foreigner.

He's the only one who's free
that Inaki knows of.

He's good and he works well, mum.

He only charges whatever you can

give him, plus food and accommodation.

We could wait a few days,
someone else might show up.

Mum, we can't wait.

Tomorrow is late enough.

Besides, I'll be gone most of the time

because of the wedding.

Let him come and try for a few days.

If we don't like him,
we'll look for another one.

And what do Peruvians eat?

Hello.

Hello.
-Hello, Inaki.

This is Jose, Arantxa.

Pleased to meet you.
-Pleased to meet you.

And her mother, Arantxa as well.

Here, it's very common for kids
to be named after their parents.

Pleased to meet you, madam.

My mother understands Spanish,
but she barely speaks it.

But don't worry,
you'll get along just fine.

Show him around and tell him what to do.

I suppose Ander

will want to explain
a few things to him as well.

Can he move or is he in bed?

He's in bed, it's too early for crutches.

Maybe next week.

Can I come in and see him?

Yes, go up, he'll be glad.

I'll leave you with them.

Come, I'll show you the animals.

Leave the bag here.

Mother, you come too. We'll go up later.

May I?
-Come in.

Grab a chair and sit here.

So, how are you?

I could be better.

Or worse.

You only got a broken bone.

If you had knocked your head,

that little you have left
would have been lost for good.

What a brother-in-law I got.

Hey, be careful with what you say.

It hasn't been a day since you fell
and you already have help.

A great guy, too.

Peruvian?

You don't find it strange that he came
from so far away to work the land?

More will come.

You think so?
-You'll see.

You're coming to the bachelor party, right?

I don't think I'll be able to.
I'm not in the mood for parties.

Come on, it's in a week.

What, are you afraid

to get out of bed with that thing on?

No way.

When it stops hurting,
I'll start working.

There's a lot of stuff I can do
with crouches or sitting down.

Yeah, a lot of things.

Hey, mister, I'll go see Reme
as soon as I can.

It's been two months since I had any.

I heard that

somebody saw her husband in Anglet.

But who knows...

Her husband?

Yes.

In Anglet?
-Yes.

I thought he would had gone further...

To Peru, for instance.

Anyway, he will not return.

Ander, this is Jose.
-May I?

Leave your bag here,
I'll bring it to your room.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm sorry about your leg.

Don't be sorry, man,
that gives you a job.

Good morning, I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't worry, we all wake up
around this time.

Coffee is over there. Help yourself.

Thanks.

If you don't mind, sit here.

This was my father's place
and now it's Ander's.

Sorry...

It's still hot.

Thank you.
-You want an omelette?

No, no, thank you.

Eat whatever you want and

if you're hungry later,
just come back and help yourself.

Lunch is at twelve o'clock.

He's not to be late,
this is not a restaurant.

My mum says please be on time for lunch.

You know, at twelve.

Sure.

Thank you.

Inaki told me you've got family in Bilbao.

I've got a cousin.

He's been living there
for more than a year.

He is a construction worker.

He helped me get here.

And how come you're not with him?

You must feel very lonely here, right?

I only know how to work the land.
I'm very well here.

I wanted to thank you
for giving me this opportunity.

You're welcome. But you're
actually doing us a favour.

At around ten I have to go to Durango,

to the factory, to bring

the papers for my brother's accident.

I won't be back till tonight.

So today you'll eat just with my mother.

You'll see how you get along.

Look, that's where my brother fell.

He's got the habit of going up there to

listen to music and have a snack.

Thank God my mum sent me to look for him.

And why don't you have a dog on the farm?

We had one.

He died of old age about five years ago.

Ander loved him madly.

I had never seen him so sad.

This is beautiful.

More beautiful than your country?

Here, everyone asks me that.

But it really is not so different.

Good day, boss. How are you feeling?

Better, it barely hurts.

But it's not easy walking
with these things.

I guess it takes some practice.

So, how's work?

Everything OK?

Yes, everything is fine.

Yesterday I met Mr. Peio.
He told me he was your friend.

Oh, yeah? What did he say?

He said he'll come and visit you.

Yeah, I know Peio's kind of visits.

He won't come till next week.

Nice teeth.

Do you wash them with baking soda?

Don't worry, I was kidding.

Tomorrow I'll help you with what I can.

I don't know if I'll be able to do much,

but it will be of some help.

Very well.

I'm going to walk a little bit.

I'll see you at lunch.

Yes, boss.

We'll have to kill the pig soon.

It can barely walk.

It's like a premonition.

Let's see if I'll end up the same way.

Don't joke about that.

Who will kill it?

Do we take it to the slaughterhouse?

Jose can do it. He manages well.

I'll call Peio and he'll help him.

And don't forget to call the vet.

Won't Arantxa come for lunch?

She said she might not get here in time.

She said to start without her.

You should have gone with her.

There's more important things to do

than seeing how a wedding dress fits.

Is Jose married?

If he is, he doesn't talk about his wife.

He's shy.

Do you know he calls me boss?

How should he call you?

I don't know.

May I?

Come on, Jose, sit by my side.

My sister is not here.

I'm not used to drinking alcohol.

Come on! Wine is not alcohol!

It's life!

Jose, one question.

Do you know how to kill a pig?

Of course, boss.

Perfect, next week
we're having a slaughter.

In August?

Oh, I understand. I suppose we're
killing the pig with a limp.

You're not talking about me, right?

Oh, God, no.

Ander, are you in the shower?

Yes, mother.

Can you manage by yourself?

Don't you need help?

No, I can manage.

I have to take a piss.

You'll have to help me.
I can't do it sitting down.

I'll hold you.

When I was little, I
used to play with my friends

to see who could pee further.

I always won.

Me too, with my brothers.

But my big brother always won.

How many brothers do you have?

There were seven of us.

Four men and three women.

But two of them died years ago.

Damn!

That's a lot of brothers and sisters.

You think so, boss?

That's common there,

especially if you're from the country.

Are all of them in Peru
or did they emigrate too?

The youngest one moved to the US
and the other ones to Lima.

And your parents?

I don't have a dad, he died.

The land we were working on
wasn't his, so they kicked us out.

My mum lives with
one of my sisters in Lima.

She has gotten really old.

Not like your mother, boss.

Don't joke.

Our mother's heart is not well.

One of these days
she's going to give us a fright.

May God not hear you, boss.

So, do you miss all that?

Your country, your people, the women?

The food?

A lot, boss, a lot.

Especially the food:
mote, cuy, charqui...

Charqui?

Yeah, it's dried lama meat.
It's very tasty.

But I also remember the time
we suffered from hunger.

Charqui...

We better get going because,
at my pace, it's going to get dark.

Tomorrow we'll have to come earlier

because Peio is helping you
with the slaughter.

OK, boss.

You know what, Jose?

I can't get used to you calling me boss.

And how do you want me to call you?

Ander.

Mr. Ander?

Mr. Ander...

No, just Ander.

OK, boss.

Did you put everything in the freezer?

Yes, boss.

In single bags?

Yes, boss.

One cannot help but think about
his own death with these things.

Me, I only think about death
when I'm with a woman.

That's the only thing
I'm going to miss when I die:

warm pussies.

So, you'll go to the bachelor party
on Saturday, both of you.

I don't know.

What are you saying?

Of course you will.

And bring the Indian too.

He can drive, right?

He won't drink so he can drive us.

I'm hooking up with Reme that night.

She's not coming to
Durango with us, right?

Are you crazy? With twenty men?

If the others want a whore,
they can look for one on their own.

This is the plan...

On Saturday I'll pick up Reme and the kid.

I'll leave them at my house
and then I'll go pick you up.

We'll go to Durango and party till
they kick us out at closing time.

And later we'll continue the party
at my place with Reme.

And Jose?

Jose, do you like women?

Yes, of course.

Then get cocky for Saturday

because you're meeting a Murcian woman

that takes your breath away.

She's not from Murcia,
she lived there.

But she's from Galicia.

Whatever, the thing is
that she's got boobs...

Inaki told me

someone saw her husband in Anglet.

Yes, I heard it too.

I thought he'd be further away.

Yeah, me too.

If he shows up, I'll break his legs.

One leg for what he did to Reme

and the other one for taking
the best whore around away.

ORO's (Golden) whore.

It would be better if he came back.

Reme is still waiting for him.

Well, fuck them both.

She shouldn't have married, it's stupid.

And he shouldn't have left her.

Now Reme belongs to all of us
and so does the kid.

Even the Indian is going
to play dad this Saturday.

I'm going home.

Won't you stay for dinner?

My mother is expecting you.

I've got things to do.

This Saturday I'll come
pick you up at eight.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you...

...because you're paying Reme.

He's a good man, but his dick
and his nose fuck him up.

Boss...

...do you think Mr. Inaki will think

that it's OK for me to go to his party?

Of course, man.

Besides, you'll be going with

a poor disabled man who needs help.

Are you sure you don't want one?

It will cheer you up a little.

No, thanks.

Beer is enough.

You don't talk much, huh?
How did it go with Reme?

Great woman, huh?

Yes, sir.

I'm going to bring them this.

It's beautiful to watch people sleep.

We all become babies when we sleep.

What time is it?

Dawn is breaking.

We should leave.

You'll have to leave alone.

There's no way to wake those two up.

By myself?

And what do I tell the boss' mum?

The truth. That her son
is hangover at Peio's.

But don't mention me.

From what part of Peru are you?

From a little town near Cuzco.

And is it beautiful?

It's very beautiful.

I'm from Carino.

From Carino?

It's near A Coruna.

Do you know where A Coruna is?

Yes.

But I lived a few years
in Madrid, Salou and Cartagena.

This is different
from everywhere though.

Probably more different than Cuzco.

This is another world.

And why are you here?

I'm waiting for my husband.

Is he on a trip?

He's lost.

When he finds himself, he will return.

I'm going to make coffee,
do you want some?

He's a little younger than me.

He was just a kid when we met.

He was in Cartagena, on military service.

He looked so cute in his white uniform.

He looked as if he was dressed
for his first communion.

We got married there.

It was almost a secret.

When he finished the military
service, we came to Oro.

That's all he had:

an old house lost in
the middle of the Basque Country.

He didn't have any family

and he barely had friends.

Only a house

and a job at a factory in Durango.

But we didn't need anything else...

Well...

...I needed a baby.

Three years passed
before I got pregnant.

When it finally happened
and I told him...

...he kissed me and went to bed.

The next day...

...he packed a suitcase and left.

In the town,
they soon knew I was alone.

And it didn't take very
long before men

started offering me their help.

It wasn't the first
time I had done it, you know,

but I've never hidden that from him.

So...

...it wasn't hard to accept.

But never at my husband's house.

Anywhere but there.

At least when he comes back,
he'll find his house clean.

Good afternoon.

Good evening.

What a hangover!

How did it go?

It's not any of my business, but

I hope Inaki didn't spend
the whole night with you.

We left him at 3.00
at his house. He was good.

It all depends on
what you understand by good.

I'm sure Peio and you weren't good.

What an example for Jose.

I don't believe he can complain about

how he's treated in this house.

It was a joke, mother.

Is dinner almost ready?

I haven't eaten anything the whole day.

You can start if you want.
The salad is ready.

Do you want me to make you an omelette?

I don't care, mum, whatever.

I just want to go to bed.
My leg hurts.

Go to bed then, you'll have dinner there.

Call Jose, I need him to help me.

I can't take another step.

I'll help you.

No.

Tell Jose to come.

That's what he is paid for, right?

Did you have a good time last night?

Yes, boss.

Jose...

...do you have clothes
to go to the wedding?

Well, I only have a white shirt.

I could lend you something,
but it will be too big.

Wouldn't it be best if I stayed

and took care of the house?
-No way!

I'll find you a suit and a tie.

Inaki would be very upset
if you didn't go to the wedding.

Mr. Inaki told you that?

Yeah, more or less.

Besides, I don't want
to be a burden for my family.

You'll have to take care of me.

Are you sure

you don't clean them with baking soda?

Really, boss.

Reme really liked you.

I don't know why.
I'm a very modest man.

Yeah, that's probably why.

Sleep well.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Careful.

There you go.

Eat it all.

I'll have to buy another one.

How come?

It will stop working in 2000.

Mother, do you keep any of dad's suits?

Yes, why?

For Jose, for the wedding.

He'll take me from one place to another.

That way I won't make anyone late.

We will have to pay him soon.

Or doesn't he charge anything?

Why wouldn't he charge us?

I still don't know why he's here.

Why do you say that?

We feed him and give him a place to stay.

You bring him along to our celebrations.

And now we also have to dress him?

You have no idea how much
I want to pay him.

And I'll pay him, not you.

That way I'll know we have an employee

and not another family member.

Are you alright, mother?

I only said it not to be a burden.

Because of the leg, but...

...if you don't think it's right, then...

Are you alright?

I am.

Careful with the wine, Ander.

This is not wine, this is life, mother.

Enough, enough.

Jose, I have to go take a piss.

Take him quickly, otherwise
he'll piss right here.

Change his dipers right now.

A little wine?

You've seen it before.

Leave.

Do I wait for you outside?

No, leave!

Leave!

The Indian knows how to drink our wine!

We're going to give a toast, you and I.
