Ay

Come on, jaleo, jaleo.

Come on, jaleo, jaleo.

During the 1950s and 1960s of the last century,

thousands of immigrants from Extremadura and Andalusia

left their homeland to flee misery,

of post-war hunger, from the treatment of the

and the moral asphyxiation of the cortijos,

seeking a more dignified life in more industrialized in more industrialized areas,

such as the Basque Country, Madrid and Catalonia.

Some were able to buy plots of land in the outskirts of the cities,

where they built their homes.

Shantytown and subletting was the only option for the majority

and shantytowns, shanties,

began to grow around the capitals.

The Land Law, of state application,

said that if at sunrise a building had a roof,

authority could not touch it.

But if at sunrise I didn't have it,

could be knocked down.

In Barcelona, the land around the castle of the Torre del Baron castle,

formerly conceived as a future residential residential area for the wealthy,

became one of those shantytowns. one of those shantytowns.

That castle gave its name to the neighborhood: Torre Baró.

This is the story of my family, of my neighborhood,

of my city and my country.

Come on, let's go there.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go there.

Hala, out with those two buckets.

Hurry up!

Come on, let's get in line.

Go ahead, you pull. Come on, let's go. Next. Pull, pull, pull.

-Make me that tail well done, cunt!

Go, go, go!

Fifteen bricks and two cement bricks.

One hundred pesetas. No, not a hundred. Fifty.

What does it say? If I don't sell it to you, I'll sell it to someone else.

The other day you charged me half. What the hell am I going to charge you half?

Fifty and the watch. Not for all the gold in the world.

Hundred. If you don't want it, someone else wants it, huh? Come on, let's go.

-75 and no more talk. -No, no, not 75. One hundred, damn it.

What the fuck.

Go, go, go. Here you go.

Come on, bricks. Bricks.

Don't complain.

Come on, let's go. Go, go, go, go, go.

-Two sacks. Two sacks to the kid. Let's go, let's go.

Come on. There.

Cement is coming out. Another one of cement.

Okay, put it in there.

Come on, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull. Come on, pull, pull, pull, pull.

Two cement there, two.

It's always the same thing, huh?

What do you want?

Come on, go ahead. You shut up!

You're going to muzzle yourself. Come on!

Shit.

Quickly, quickly.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Cover this, cover that. Hit it there.

Hit it there.

Come on, it's getting light. Let's go, let's go!

Let's go, it's dawn! Let's go, let's go!

Who is it? Who is it? -That's it, stop!

Here's another one!

Hostia, the police!

Quillo! Go on, go on.

The "peaks"! The "peaks" are coming this way!

Let's put wood!

Okay, okay, okay!

Come on, come on, come on, Aurora! Come on, we're not there yet.

Come on, let's go!

Go, go, go! Come on, Vital!

Hit it!

Stop building.

Didn't you hear me?

Stay away from the barracks, come on.

-They are already here.

I told them to stop building. building. Stay away!

-What is he doing here?

-Get out of there!

Hey, get him out of there!

Ortega!

Manolo!

Haven't you heard? Let them come out.

The roles.

Manolo Vital.

Where do you come from? From Andalusia, Extremadura...

I of Valencia de Alcántara, province of Cáceres.

What's the matter, you couldn't all fit there?

You're not from around here either.

More than you.

Where are you from? Huh? Sevillano, right?

Do you know how many creatures that we have here from all over the world?

Nothing gets into your body? Mmm?

What are you going to do?

Comply with the law.

This construction is illegal,

has to have a roof over its head before dawn. If not, it has to be throw it away.

Does this have a roof?

Please.

It has no roof, it has to be thrown away.

No, please don't.

Please.

No, no, no! For God's sake, for God's sake! Please!

Please do not do so.

You shouldn't be here, Sister. Please.

Say something, Vital.

Say something.

Everybody listen up!

But haven't you had enough?

Do yourself a favor to shut up too.

You don't even shut me up! Everybody listen! Shut up!

We are not wanted here.

But these plots are ours, we bought them with our money.

We are not going to be kicked out, we will never leave here.

We built once and we will do it again.

But we are not going to make each one we are going to do it all together

every night a single house

and, when the sun comes up, we will have a roofed house.

And a roofed house is a treasure, they can't tear it down.

And what will be the first one? Yours.

There it is.

I leave them for you to distribute.

Come on, that's it. But it doesn't go there!

Here.

You are welcome.

Here you go.

What a beautiful daughter.

No, it is not mine. It is yours.

Oh, thank you. Here you go.

Let's see if I can get another ladder!

Another ladder!

I'm coming.

Manolo, the child is already asleep.

Okay.

Thank you.

Do you want it?

A pear?

For later.

And the girl's mother?

Ask your God.

If you want, I can take care of the child in the meantime.

Look, I'm not really one of yours.

From mine? Yes, from the priests.

Well, I am not a priest.

Well, take care of her if you want to,

but don't talk to him too much about about Jesus Christ and things like that.

Please do me a favor.

What is your name?

I do not understand Catalan.

What's his name.

Manolo Vital.

The girl, I mean.

Juana, as the mother.

How did you say you say that in Catalan?

"What's his name."

"What's his name."

No? Am I saying it right?

Yes.

"What's his name."

There, it goes.

Come on, it's the last one. That's it.

It is roofed.

Withdrawn. Come on, let's go, Ortega.

Come on.

Here we are, here we are.

Let's go, let's go. Hala, very good. Very good.

Let's go.

There, come on.

And I was born in the province of Jaén.

And in a cave.

A cave that had five bedrooms.

I am the youngest of ten children.

Let's see, what is your name?

Maria.

Catalina, you are late.

What happened?

"Maria" is spelled with an M. Do you know what the M is? what the M stands for? Does anyone know is...?

Thus.

I know how to write it...

Do you know how to spell "Maria"? Let's see if you spelled it right.

Hey!

What happened?

That you threw me away. Did you?

A little bit.

Look, they are...

Look at the geranium, they are...

How to say?

Blossoming.

You are really blossoming.

"Ay, quiet, quiet."

Quiet, it's just a touch-up.

Is that so? Wait.

A little more, isn't it?

A little hair here coming out, a little hair here...

You really come out.

Manolo, be still.

Keep your hand still.

I am worried about the job.

I don't know.

You will see how everything will be fine.

You ask the person at the top, who you trust.

Yes, a lot.

Because of you, he and I didn't end very well.

Because of me?

Yes. Because of you, yes.

It's such a day today that you don't know if it's going to rain or not.

...it has been a cold night for April.

Barcelona has dawned with 11 degrees and cloudy skies.

We continue with the reading.

Sebastià Sorribas published El zoo de Pitus in 1966...

See you later.

See you later.

Manolo! What?

The sandwich.

-Goodbye. Good-bye.

"...and the leader was a ten year old boy boy named Jordi,

who, no one knows why, everyone called Tanet".

Carmen, you can't have a henhouse without a rooster!

-Not those, they are very bad.

More, more.

That's right, let's keep it that way.

-I'm going to throw one more.

-I'm going to pass.

Fuck the water.

What's up, Paco? Good morning, Paco.

Manolo, I have the pears that Carmen asked me for!

Then he comes for them. Don't be late or I'll sell them to someone else.

For lunch, you'll see how tasty it is. tasty. Thank you very much.

Mariquilla, how well your hair your hair. I like it.

Put it in first!

Fold, fold, fold! Fold everything!

Fold everything, kiddo, you're going backwards!

Hit it!

The truck does not pass, I tell you. Yes, it does!

But have you seen how the road is?

Well, I'm going to show you slowly, man, kiddo.

We take it out and I'll point it out to you. Felipín!

Good morning.

Vital, here we are with this pearl, who doesn't want to get on the truck.

Otherwise I'm going to fall apart, man, kiddo. Come on, let's go.

The mother who bore him, andaluz de los cojones.

Hey, hey!

-Careful, I understand you perfectly. -Do you understand me?

Be careful what you say.

Well, you download the flour yourself.

Do you understand that too?

What's more...

Good morning.

Nine pesetas.

Thank you. Good morning, madam.

Good morning, Josep.

Good morning, Manolo.

Hey, wait a minute. We'll talk about that later.

Don't mess it up too much.

My bus, like a golden shower.

And the shirt inside.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Here is your change.

Good morning.

What's up, Rubio?

Vital.

Have a good shift.

Have a nice day, Rubio.

WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU

Good morning, how are you?

Good morning, Mrs. Vila.

Good morning, Manolo.

Let's see if you drive well, eh, punk?

-You skipped an amber the other day. -I'll try.

Pegaso Monotral 6035A. Articulated.

-I love this model. -It's the improved model.

The 9101/8. Power, 185 hp.

Capacity, 110 passengers.

Speed, 64 km per hour on models with four gears.

To be seen.

It looks like it has a good horn.

Can I touch it?

I'm the only one who touches the bus.

Excuse me, excuse me.

How is the work going?

I'm a small fry. Not even with a doctoral thesis in urban economics won't listen to me.

I have ideas, huh?

-But don't listen. -Neither case, eh?

The things of the palace...

Little by little, Manolo. See you, I'll come down here.

Manolo, I need to see the world.

We were just too young.

My husband did not...

Divorce is legal in France.

Did you watch the game yesterday, Manolo?

Suffering, always suffering.

And with this equipment.

Cruyff, Reixach, Neskens, Asensi, Migueli...

It is impossible not to win.

I would put them all to work, pick and shovel.

Pick and shovel. You would see how they run.

I am from Merida.

Look, Manolo.

Two more have been dismissed.

Rodríguez and El Polaco. Poor people.

What will they do now, Manolo?

Attention, please.

Come.

-Are we all here? -Let's see what they have come up with.

Bad news.

The board does not accept our proposal.

There will be more layoffs.

This is not what we talked about.

We said we would not go there.

-Matías, this was not the agreement. -And what do you want me to do, Josep?

Man, you're here for a reason, aren't you?

If they don't understand us when we talk, they don't understand us,

another type of proposal will have to be made.

No, no. Nobody wants more strikes.

-Things are tense enough as it is. -No, things are tense at my house.

-I can't lose my job. -And I can?

It is necessary to go step by step.

Step by step to where? What balls.

Matias, we are talking. Where are you going?

-We have to do something. -And what do you propose?

Manolo.

What do we do? Let's think of something.

The truck doesn't come up, the one from the post office does not go up.

Who is going up here? If you can't.

Hell, have you ever seen anyone from the City Hall ever here? Not a thing.

You have to go there to make noise. What they want is...

They have us "abandoned" here lost behind the mountain.

Let's go down, work cheaply and then go back up up again to hide.

Are we animals here now? Are we not "people"?

He is right. Among other things, of which there are many,

the trucks don't want to bring us bring us the merchandise.

We want our streets to be asphalted. streets. That's right.

That is that... We spent a lot of fatigue to come,

but we are going through a lot of fatigue a lot of fatigue to be, yes or no?

That's enough. Point to Bartola, who is not on the board.

One thing. I know it comes later, it's the same as always.

How many years have we been waiting for school?

I talk to the Department of Education

for years, we are still in the barracks.

We have no electricity, there are leaks in winter,

the windows are broken, your children are cold,

I don't know who to tell anymore.

I don't know what to do anymore.

But the children, the creatures, What happens? To go to the doctor's office?

In other words, do we have to walk 2 km to get to the nearest to get to the nearest doctor's office?

Public clinics here, man.

-Very well spoken, Celia.

-No matter how much we do, they don't pay any attention to us.

I have to get water now

and I have to go to the Moragal spring. At least 2 km up the mountain.

There is no road. Over the mountain!

Up and down! Up and down!

You have to asphalt. And you get pricked by brambles.

They put the sewers on us, they put the water on us.

What happens now? They burst.

They burst, they cut off our water every so often.

They break. They break and...

Look, at least before,

when he was shitting in the pit, there were no surprises.

But how are we going to shit in the pit again?

Someone leaves garbage on the street. Do not leave garbage on the street.

You lower it into the hole, that's what it's there for.

Otherwise, everything fills up with rats.

And of wild boars. And boars.

Rats like... like horses.

-Don't look at me, Antonio. Always with the same story.

I don't look at you because, well, who am I going to look at? let's see, who am I going to look at?

Paco, Maribel, wait, man, this is not over yet.

This is long over. Paco, Maribel.

Paco, Vital is going to speak.

Vital. Say something, people are leaving.

Vital will not speak.

Vital is not going to speak, who has nothing to say.

You are complaining about everything.

It is true, there are many things that can be improved.

We have water, we have electricity. What doesn't work? Then we fix it.

Now we seem to be better off without the sewers.

It is true.

And we have achieved things. the water breaks down? It's fixed.

If the other thing breaks down, it gets fixed. But here we are all complaining.

And there's something else going on here, that I want to ask:

where are the young people? We did everything for the young people,

so that they have a future, a neighborhood,

so that they have a place to be proud of where they are. be proud of where they are.

Yeah, where are the young people, the boys, your daughter?

What about my daughter? Where is she?

is not sitting here. You're a bad bug!

No, no, don't point your finger at me!

Don't raise your hand to me, huh?

"What about your daughter? What are you telling me?

Manolo.

We always have to end up the same way, man. That's enough!

Don't go, Vital.

Vital!

Queen! -Look at the art!

Beautiful!

I a mon pare no pas gaire, rossinyol,

d'un bell bocatge, rossinyol,

d'un vol.

Very well, so far.

I think some adjustments need to be made with the sopranos. adjustments need to be made with the sopranos.

Joana, you will sing the solo at the concert.

But, director...

Joana, how do you see it? Are you ready?

Yes.

Yes, yes...

I love the song. Thank you.

Very well, we will do it like this.

We have finished, thank you very much.

Congratulations, you deserve it.

It will go very well, it always goes well.

I have done it many times.

Do you want me to leave you some clothes?

I say this because going like this...

Yes, yes.

All right, see you tomorrow.

When the black rooster crows...

I was hoping you would propose something.

I'm tired, Carmen.

I have been the president of the association for many years.

Let someone else take the reins.

How many looks I have received in my life.

I have been the red who married a nun.

No, sorry. I was the nun. They were looking at me.

No, yes, they were going to look at me.

No, it was me they were laughing at.

Oh, Manolo, don't soak the bread so much.

Let's see, who is the Extremeño here?

Let's see, I know something about crumbs.

Sorry.

The stain is getting bigger and bigger.

Good evening.

Good evening.

-Good evening. Have you seen what time it is? -Crumbs, Dad?

Crumbs, daughter, crumbs.

Dad, it's all far away.

Joana!

Not the usual ditty.

Why didn't you come to the meeting today? to the meeting today?

Because it is useless.

If you don't come, it's no use.

And if you go, it doesn't help either.

Why?

Dad, what have you accomplished today?

What do we have now, hot water? Or subway?

Or paved roads? Or a letter carrier?

Does anything work now?

Well, if it doesn't work, you fix it.

Do you think all this was here when we arrived?

What do you want to build if you don't come to meetings?

Here, nothing.

We built this neighborhood for you.

Well, you could have built it closer to anything.

I am ashamed to live here.

Both of them.

You guys like to fight, huh?

We have taught you things here, never forget it.

Not if I couldn't. You keep repeating them to me.

Bread.

Do you see it?

Do you see it or not?

This is soaked.

What you have to put up with, really.

Va. Va.

Carmen, are you okay here?

Of course I'm fine.

But it is normal for her to want better things.

He is young, Manolo, he has dreams.

Dreams, many.

Ideal, few.

Didn't you do the same?

We had nothing.

We were afraid, Manolo.

Why don't you go talk to her?

I have my first shift tomorrow. shift tomorrow.

Encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,

d'un bell bocatge, rossinyol,

d'un vol.

Very nice, what you sing.

You are doing very well.

Sit here.

May the first time you drink to your father.

Dad, it's not the first time that...

Shut up. Didn't you hear your father?

That for him, you're still running around,

as when we planted the vegetable garden,

we put up the fence,

when we laid those tiles, do you remember?

Don't let your father hear you.

Watch.

Do you remember when we came here, with the donkey?

Do you remember your mother?

You were very small.

She was very pretty, your mother.

One can leave the land of one's birth where he was born, but the land

you always carry it inside you, Joana.

I know that.

How it must be the Jerte Valley right now,

full of cherry blossoms.

One year I have to take you for you to see it.

I want to see how many are left of those who made me suffer.

Joana, don't be ashamed of being who you are.

Don't be ashamed of your...

Aurora. Manolo.

My Felipe, who has left me.

I don't know what he said about that....

they are going to see us or hear us... I don't know.

He picked up the paint pot... A graffiti?

Do me a favor and go find your sponsor.

No.

-No, Vital. That I have gone to the City Hall.

To the Ayun...?

To the city council?

What you hear.

What an obsession Felipín has with graffiti.

Felipín!

What are you doing, burranco?

What are you doing here? Didn't you say this was for young people?

What are you going to do? What...?

Well, a glass of milk and go to sleep, Grandpa. Come on, Grandpa.

What are you going to do?

What I have to do, if I don't do it If I don't do it, no one else will.

Where are you going with the paint? We're going to have a "poblema", eh?

I'm not going to let you go alone, they'll take you to jail, dammit.

Ah, will you come with me? Yes, I will.

With what we went, huh? We went, we went.

Listen.

Either we do something, or the neighborhood is dying, it's going to shit. shit.

Manolo.

What a good thing this is, huh? Jo.

This... Can you imagine having one of these there, in the neighborhood?

The amount of travel... Why don't we have any?

What about me?

Hell, if you want I'll tell her now to the fishmonger...

Well, maybe it's because they don't consider it important. they don't consider it important.

They don't consider it important... Yes.

Well, let's see if they consider it important, why not?

Important: Don't you know people in Barcelona? Question.

I am a bus driver, not a minister. For that very reason.

No? So, what?

Pussy, so that we have a bus in the neighborhood a bus in the neighborhood.

Can you imagine how much the neighborhood would change with a bus?

You can't imagine how things are things in the company.

Tickets.

Shirt inside.

Yes, Manolo. Come on, pay.

Nine pesetas.

No, I don't have any money.

So?

Don't you work here? I do, do you?

What do we do? Hell, pay!

It is the same, Manolo.

What are we going to do? I'm going to pay, as usual.

And what do I do? Here.

What are you doing, Manolo, with paint at this hour?

What paint or what paint? We are in third gear. Man, no.

He doesn't know how to drive. he's been putting in third for a while now?

Yes, Manolo.

Let me drive in peace. You do your thing.

Last stop, Plaza Cataluña!

The guy is not leaving, come on. He can't, damn it.

What do you want to put?

"In Torre Baró we need streets asphalted, improvements in the..."

We can't put so many things, pussy. Something simpler.

"Torre Baró is Barcelona. That's enough, man.

That's fine: "Torre Baró is Barcelona."

"Torre Baró is Barcelona, buses now".

That's very good.

Look, now it's... Come on, let's go.

This, although it is, is not called Barcelona.

Here the big city shows its shame.

They have changed the can barracks

for vertical floors, for vertical barracks.

For vertical floors, by vertical barracks.

They have taken advantage of the sky, they have taken advantage of the air.

The buildings are solar, one on top of the other.

They have made good use cement and tiles.

They haven't even made a garden, they have not thought of building schools.

They haven't even made a garden, they have not thought of building schools.

Goal!

They have not thought of making not even a sewer,

no traffic lights or lights. The walls crack...

"Not too long ago,

in one of the neighborhoods

oldest in Barcelona,

something happened

worth singing about..."

No, sorry. "Count."

Miguelito, have you practiced?

A lot.

Miguelito...

I will practice tomorrow.

Come on, let's go.

Are you all right, Juanito?

My arm is getting tired.

Then we change. Let's change, please.

We change, otherwise the wind wind bothers us a lot.

Come on.

Change.

Come on, let's go.

Has anyone heard from Helena?

His father wants him to work.

Okay.

Very well, we continue.

"In this neighborhood, as in all neighborhoods, there was a gang. neighborhoods, there was a gang.

And the leader of this gang..." Follow the book.

This does not help us, gentlemen.

It does not help us at all.

Now was not the fucking time.

It was not the right time.

What did you hope to achieve?

Manolo, look what they have done to your car.

Enjoy your meal.

What the hell have you done?

They make us afraid, we make them afraid of us.

Don't ever touch my car again, understand?

It's not yours, it's theirs, like everything else.

It is my car. I drive it and it's my car. my car. Do you understand me?

Well, if we don't do anything, you will lose your car.

Things happen around you, Manolo.

We stopped the entire Meridiana the whole Meridiana, all eight lanes,

to get the water.

-Well, you don't seem to remember. -I don't remember?

Are you with the workers or with the bosses?

You're going to give me lessons!

With head, with head.

Helena, how are you?

-Good. -Are you all right?

Yes. Yes?

Come on in, girl.

Mrs. Carmen, what do you need?

Is the child well? She is fine.

Well, since it's been days he hasn't come to school and...

she's so smart, she's top of the class.

That's why he has to help her mother at home.

Well, but you can help her after school, right?

What good is that going to do you?

What do you mean, what good will it do you? It will do you a lot of good.

When he grows up, you will be able to do what you want.

She is very good at mathematics. And in languages...

What good is Catalan going to do you in the factory?

Have you seen where we live? Well, this is what we are living in.

Excuse me, I have to go to work.

Hello.

What are they doing there?

I don't know.

Let's say hello to Juani.

Put that away there, child. Put it away over there.

Dad, what have you done?

What about the mail? There you go.

And do you have any dogs? Of course you do.

Here you go. Can you write it down for me?

We are not the Onassis, Antonio.

But it's a pair. Already.

That I know you. I'll leave you five on faith and you'll put me down for ten, won't you?

Of course, interest.

Interest, interest...

Go ahead, take it. Ah, I mean, what do you have?

Of course. What a nerve.

Let's see if we change the movie, right?

She is very pretty.

In the city they play Star Wars

and we are still with the same.

What did they ask you?

Nothing, they are looking for hooligans.

Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

There has been some graffiti on the facade of the City Hall.

Do you know anything?

What will we know?

How do you know that you are from Torre Baró?

Because they wrote "Torre Baró".

The youth, who no longer know what they want.

And did you see anything last night? -What are we going to see? Nothing.

The Petrine.

What do you say? The Petrine.

In Spanish!

The... The fly.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Are you dumb? Are you dumb? What do you say about the petrine?

He made me nervous, the man with his fly open.

You don't have to think otherwise. Don't think anymore, you're not good at it.

You're not very bright. Really, huh?

The Holy Virgin. What happens now?

Do you know where my father was from?

Of course, from Puentegenil.

Yes. Do you know what the people of Puentegenil the people of Puentegenil?

They are not famous people from Puentegenil. Look, I'm talking to Vital.

Ouch! For the lights.

Puentegenil was the second place in Spain in Spain where the light arrived.

Let's make sure we're seen, but well, eh?

We are not going to be seen to see "naide".

Come on, start the movie.

You're not going to see it with that eye. Come on...

Have many people written to you?

We're going to put it up there in a big way, for everyone to see,

- like in Hollywood. - Shut up.

We are going to look good. But come on, well, well, well seen.

Will you shut up? Yes.

I'm going to fill the castle with bulbs. Torre Baró, very big.

I have a warehouse full of light bulbs.

As soon as I finish the movie, I'm on my way.

What do you say, burranco? There's no electricity for that here.

Let's see.

Let's go... Let's go to make the cures.

Wait.

That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.

Wait. Not yet, huh?

How your feet look today.

Thus.

Like this. Not so much, not so much.

Yes, a little bit is fine.

Hala.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Careful. Cross.

It's getting harder and harder to get here.

Why don't you retire the way God intended?

You will know what God commands...

Let it go. I...

I left the habits, I did not...

I do not want to give up my vocation.

I am a teacher.

Sorry.

Doesn't it smell funny?

It smells burnt, doesn't it?

Yes. Wait for it.

Come on, come on, come on! Come on, buckets full of water!

Aurora! Aurora!

Have you seen Felipín? I have not seen him.

Aurora!

Manolo! Aurora!

Let's go! Manolo!

Have you seen Felipín?

I was with you.

He's in! He's in!

No, don't tell me that!

Quick, more buckets! Come on!

Felipe!

Felipe!

Where are the firefighters?

Haven't you seen Felipe? Manolo says he's in there! in there!

No, no, no, no, no, wait.

Water!

Hurry up!

Come on, more water!

Firefighters!

No water!

Bring more water, please!

Felipe!

The fire department is here!

Firefighters!

The firemen! The firemen are here!

Water, faster!

What happens that they don't go up?

Go, go, go!

Hey, we're here! Hey, over here!

Send for the fire department!

-Why don't they go up?

It does not come out.

The water has run out!

Manolo, they're trapped! They can't go up!

Firefighters!

Send for the fire department!

Why don't the firefighters come up?

Come on, let's go!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Get in! Let me fucking go! Let me fucking go!

I'm a driver, my God damn it!

Okay, okay, okay! That's it.

Okay, okay, fuck! That's it, I can relax.

Okay, let's go. We hit it here, let's go!

Let me up!

Easy, easy. It's our job.

-Where are the firemen? they don't come up?

-Where are the firemen?

It's burning! Holy shit!

The firemen, Dad, why don't they come up?

Dad, what are you doing?

Dad, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Manolo!

Would you like some soup? Will it be good for you?

We are up here abandoned like rats.

Aurora,

you stay here as long as it takes as long as it takes.

Thank you, Carmen.

Joana.

Let's see, this one is coming back.

Let's see what he wants.

Gentlemen, a little attention.

Starting tomorrow there will be no more no more routes from the garage.

Why not?

I don't know what you think, Rubio.

What do you think?

There will be nothing, no service

until this whole mess is resolved.

Car repairs will come out of your will come out of your bonus payments.

This is not fair.

Some of us have been working here for more than working here.

Vital, Garcia.

What the hell do we say at home?

That someone has killed your job. your job.

I do everything I can.

I assure you, as much as I can.

But you don't make it easy for me. Not easy at all.

You've earned them, eh, Matías?

You certainly don't get the extra pay.

Isn't it?

Are you implying something?

No, no. Say what you mean.

-I can't be any clearer. -We all know it, man.

The company has a proposal.

If whoever has done this damage will show his face,

there will be no complaints or retaliation against others.

It is one in exchange for all.

Eh, Rubio?

Vital?

No, huh? No.

No one knows anything?

-Mate. -Best of luck.

Come on, let's cheer up.

Goodbye.

Rubio.

See you around.

And what are you going to do now?

I don't know, you...

don't worry too much. I'll see.

-Torre Baró. -What is it, a street in Barcelona?

A neighborhood in Barcelona.

-What do you mean, a neighborhood? -Don't look for it on the map, it doesn't come up.

It's up here.

That way it's on the map.

But who would want to go there and why?

Well, those of us who live there.

We build the streets ourselves.

Excuse me? I beg your pardon?

We made the houses with our hands, brick by brick.

I can drive the bus.

We don't send the cars where we want to.

There are established routes by the City Council.

That's why I'm here, because routes change.

Let's see if you can talk to someone...

a superior or someone responsible.

Me?

I organize the garage and I defend you in the union,

I have enough work to do

so that you don't all get kicked out.

I am asking you please if you can speak to the superiors.

Look, we have come a long way.

Now is not the time to ask for more. We are doing well.

Carry on as usual, Manolo.

Knowledge, as you say. Knowledge.

Now it's time for a low profile

and move towards retirement.

My name is Manolo Vital.

I am a resident of the Torre Baró neighborhood,

a neighborhood that we built with our hands.

Better, "my name is Manolo Vital".

How would I put it? "My name is Manolo Vital.

Hello, my name is Manolo Vital.

Hello, my... Hello, my name is Manolo Vital.

I'd better "call me"...

-My name is Manolo Vital. -So "my name". That's perfect.

What I don't know is how to tell them to...

Let's see, I'll tell you in Spanish.

I need someone to... Who do I need to talk to?

Who should I contact?

to request a bus up to Torre Baró? the bus to Torre Baró?

Hello, good afternoon. Good afternoon.

My name is Manolo Vital. I am a neighbor of the Torre Baró neighborhood.

So what? And I come to see...

what do I have to do to get the bus the bus to Torre Baró.

But I am a security person.

Well, let's see if you can inform me.., let's see if you can inform me...

Sir, it is not here. Listen to me.

Let's see, where do I have to apply

or where do I have to go to get...?

Let's see, this...

Well, well...

-Second floor, by the stairs. -Thank you, very kind.

Please, the following.

Hello, good afternoon.

I have an application

for a bus line in the Torre Baró neighborhood.

I have never been asked for this before.

Well, there's always a first time.

Please.

And what do you want me to do?

I don't know, you are working, aren't you?

-Is this not here or...? -Yes, but who do you want me to talk to?

I don't know, that's what I came to ask you.

I have to apply, don't I? Well, here it is.

All right...

We will write it down and call you back.

Sir, are you expecting someone?

Yes, of course.

Well, there hasn't been anyone here for a long time there has been no one here.

Better come on Monday.

Hello, good afternoon.

Look, my name is Manolo Vital.

I live in Torre Baró, is a neighborhood in Barcelona.

Your partner told me to come here,

I have explained my...

And I come because...

because in the neighborhood where I live, which is Barcelona,

we do not have transportation.

Please.

Please.

Look, my name is Manolo Vital. I live in Torre Baró.

It's all very complicated.

Then it's a hill like this to get back.

We are left out of God's hand.

We have no transportation, we have nothing.

Who should I contact?

What do I have to do to have a bus in Torre Baró?

Where are you going?

Everybody okay?

Yes.

Manolo.

Everything OK?

All good.

Hey.

You work at City Hall, don't you?

Yes. Yes, yes.

But I told you I don't paint much.

I just...

I just don't know how to do it, I just....

I need the bus to get to my neighborhood, Torre Baró.

Does the bus not come to your neighborhood?

No, no.

And what do people do?

Walking.

Walk up, walk down, a climb like this,

walking to work, walking to school...

I suppose you should hold an assembly in your neighborhood

and then go to the district

and talk to Transporte Metropolitano, who manages it.

I have already done all of that.

And nothing.

They don't even listen to me.

Man, I know the person the person in charge of that.

Come in, come in.

The rent is 500 pesetas per month.

If you are interested, we can reserve it for you for a few days.

Very good.

-You have a lot of light, don't you? -Yes, yes. There is a lot of light.

It is a very quiet neighborhood.

No problematic people.

Well connected.

Subway, buses, markets...

Ideal for a family.

It is hot.

We are done.

Let's see.

I had never made it this far. I stayed at the bottom.

It's just that to get here you must arrange a visit,

must receive it...

It seems to me that I was being ignored. No one...

Nouning.

It seems to me that I was being ignored.

You speak Catalan very well.

Thank you very much. Do you know why I speak Catalan?

Why?

For love.

Is that so?

To my wife.

What is your name?

Carmen. Her name is Carmen.

She was a nun.

And that's the first sentence he said to me

when I arrived here in Catalonia, to Torre Baró.

I arrived at Torre Baró expelled from my land.

And I hear them say behind: "What's his name?".

And I turned and said....

"Excuse me, but I don't understand Catalan".

"What's the girl's name?"

My daughter. And I said: "Joana".

And I looked her in the eyes, like this....

That I was already in love, but I didn't know it.

I looked her in the eyes like that and said:

"What's his name?".

"What's his name?".

I said to Carmen.

Our words as lovers.

Sorry, I'm getting older.

No, no.

It's just that things don't fix themselves. Have him call me.

Pasqual. I've had a day...

Hello Ramon, how are you?

I wanted to introduce you to Manolo.

Good afternoon. Manolo Vital.

I am a resident of the Torre Baró neighborhood.

Manolo, a coffee?

Yes. Yes, yes.

Me too.

Pasqual, please, there is a bar on the corner.

Come with me.

Let's see, where?

Yes, look. Here. Come into this office.

You will say.

Let's see...

Look, I am from Torre Baró.

From behind the mountain.

And I ask you to see if you can help me.

the arrival of metropolitan transport to Torre Baró. to Torre Baró.

Wow.

Which is a neighborhood in Barcelona.

Yes, I know the city. We are from Transportation.

And the metropolitan transport

should reach all neighborhoods in Barcelona, right? of Barcelona, right?

I could work on the line, I am a driver.

And a good driver for sure, I have no doubt.

I've been carrying the '47 line for twenty years.

And we thank you for your service.

The City Council is there to listen, we are now a democracy.

The mayor was appointed by the king, but...

Things are not black and white.

One is either a Falangist or one is not a Falangist.

Look, you take care of the transportation

and we politicians take care of politics, which is to help people.

How do we do it?

Look, next week there is a commission. I will take your application.

He now leaves it in the secretary's office,

leave your phone number and I will call you back.

Thank you very much.

No, man. Thank you.

Excuse me, but...

Thank you.

For everyone in Torre Baró this is very important.

Don't worry. That's what we're here for.

Go to the secretary's office. Shall I accompany you?

It is not necessary.

Very well, thank you.

Rossinyol, you are going to France.

Rossinyol...

We stopped. It's a little choked, yes?

Legato. Supports well.

Without the choir. On your own.

Rossinyol, you are going to France.

Rossinyol...

How do you see it?

There is no character, no...

What are you explaining here?

Shall we concentrate? Again.

Rossinyol, you are going to France.

Rossinyol...

It doesn't work, see?

Do you see it or not? Have we been studying or not?

It is weakened. There is no character here.

Have you rehearsed? What have you done this time?

I can't help you like this. I can't work like this.

Can we go back or is it not worth it?

Last time, yes?

Rossinyol, you are going to France.

Rossinyol...

...Charly, never again.

The play is clear. Charly has touched the ball

with the inside of the right foot...

Carmen.

Sorry.

You're late, aren't you?

Yes.

Watch.

Look at it. What I have prepared.

One for you... and one for me.

I don't know if it will be cold.

Oh, the legs.

Let's see.

Here.

No, no. No beans.

Man...

No, no, really.

Manolo.

I went to see an apartment.

What do you mean?

I want the three of us to go live.

Together.

It is in the center, close to everything.

I don't know, we deserve it, don't we?

I am tired.

Tired of going up and down, tired of...

that everything is so far away.

It is that every day it becomes more and more...

Let's see, Carmen...

Tell me the truth.

Is it because you don't want to be here in the apartment or in the neighborhood?

No, no. No, no, tell me the truth.

No.

Carmen, I'm about to get something.

I have been told that they are about to do so.

You already know that I have gone to talk.

I am looking at it.

I have been told yes. If not, I will go to City Hall again.

Trust me.

Do me a favor.

I knew you wouldn't like it.

Wait a while.

Give me, give me...

I don't know, give me...

A little time, please.

This man again.

Man! Man.

-What's up? -Miguel.

Manuel. Manolo...

Manolo Vital.

-How can I help you now? -Excuse me, I know you are very busy.

-It's just a minute. I won't bother you. -Okay, come on.

-I won't be long. -Come with me. Don't worry.

Let's make it quick.

Very good. And this one here?

-How much is it? Twenty-three.

Very good!

Your mom will be very happy.

My mom can't read.

Well, that needs to be fixed.

I... I don't know, Doña Carmen. I am very clumsy.

Well, that remains to be seen.

We can teach once a week.

Thank goodness you are here.

Come on. What are we missing?

Do not waste your time.

I took his request to the board and everyone saw that it was a great idea,

but I am sorry to tell you that it has been revoked.

The streets of Torre Baró are too narrow and steep

for a bus to pass.

They are not paved.

A bus may pass by.

Maybe so.

But better after the elections. It is not in our interest to open this melon now.

We need the bus in Torre Baró.

-I'm sorry. -Listen to me...

I've driven those trolleybuses that the accelerator pedal

worked the other way around from the cars, since the imperial ACLOs

to the latest Pegaso models of the Pegasus,

through the Seida, the Chaussons and the Monotrales.

I wear the 47. It's a good Pegasus.

I am a good driver.

I am personally committed to carry the 47th

from Plaza de Cataluña to Torre Baró.

I want to talk to the mayor of Barcelona.

And I want to have dinner with Cher.

But that's life.

This is what we all wanted, isn't it? To have a vote.

You make a proposal, a vote is taken

and you win or lose.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I must do my work.

You too.

There are a lot of things to do in to do in Barcelona.

Find another hobby.

Hobby...

Councilors,

my name is Manolo Vital,

a resident of the Torre Baró neighborhood, a neighborhood

that we build with our hands.

And we didn't come because...

...because we wanted to, no.

We were expelled from Extremadura.

From our land.

They took our jobs and...

They wanted to take away our dignity.

And that's the last thing you lose.

We arrived here, in Torre Baró...

We buy the plots

and we build our houses with our hands.

We built Torre Baró,

and Barcelona, and Catalonia.

And we continue to fight for our dignity.

And dignity is not something abstract.

Dignity is the struggle for for water, for light, for the post office,

the fight for health care and for public education.

That is dignity.

But we are isolated.

Behind the mountain, we are the ones behind the mountain.

We need a bus line that covers Torre Baró,

to cover the suburbs, you say.

The suburbs...

And we will get it.

Excuse me, bring me some water, please.

This is the latest.

Here.

Look, and this here.

This is here.

Well, that's it.

He loved you very much. You know that, don't you?

Look, the grocery store is yours.

-Aurora, no. -No, what?

No, what? You do it divinely.

At home is where they love us and not here...

This is not true.

It is not true.

We want you here too.

Come on.

What nonsense are you doing? Where are you going to go? Where are you going?

But what are you doing?

Manolo. You're going to hurt yourself.

Dad, come on.

Manolo. Come on, let's go.

Now I have to to put it all back up again.

Manolo, stop it!

Carmen!

I brought some friends.

Come in, come in.

Go ahead.

This way. Come on in. Sit down.

Thank you for coming.

How many of you can neither read nor write?

You can raise your hand, it's okay.

They met in the sand

the two roosters facing each other.

They met in the sand

the two roosters facing each other.

The...

Vital!

Vital!

Here's a little present for you.

Haven't you missed it?

Joana.

It has been brought to me at the police station.

The little princess of Torre Baró

painting graffiti on the walls of the City Hall. What a shame.

Go on, let the child go.

Joana.

Carmen.

What a pity.

Let's see if you give a little of education to the girl, dammit.

My daughter...

Shhh! Here.

My daughter is worth a thousand times more than you are.

Okay, Carmen.

You are speaking to me in English, madam.

Do you know the language Christ spoke?

Carmen.

Manolo, send your wife inside.

What did you say?

Carmen, Carmen... Send your wife inside.

You get out of my house.

Get out of my house, see if you have...

Mom!

Can you hear me?

Do me a favor, Carmen.

What a shame,

let your wife be the one the one who wears the pants at home. home.

You were lucky that I brought it to you.

Anything could have happened anything could have happened to the child:

could have been locked up,

could have fallen out of a window out of a window.

Anything. But I brought it to you.

And I thank you for it.

I see you have prospered.

This is a ceiling,

this is a ceiling.

Your backyard.

And this looks less like a pigsty.

A little less.

Have a good evening. Thank you very much.

Good night.

Did you thank him?

Dad, did you thank him?

I have lost a lot of things in my life. I don't want to lose you too.

But didn't you want me to do something?

With head. Yes,

What do you get with a head, Dad? I don't know... No, I don't...

-Nothing! -Listen to me.

You don't know what they do do to people like us.

I just don't know who people like us are.

What about the watch?

Did you take it off?

No.

What have I done with...?

My father's watch.

It will appear.

Where the hell did I...?

Well, if not...

If I haven't taken it off.

Damn, where...?

It is the only thing I had left of my father.

He left a letter before he died that said:

"In case I don't come back,

fallow land... for the Carrascal.

We have to sell the goats before they are eaten,

pay what is owed to the bread to the bread company.

Without further ado. Goodbye.

Diego Vital. To my wife.

And the watch for Manolo".

He was shot four times by the Falange

in front of me.

I don't know if I can leave here, Carmen.

I have already been kicked out of my house once.

And we have built this with our hands.

I...

I don't need a school to be a teacher.

I'm going to blow it all up.

I'm going to mess it up, Carmen.

Do you want to make out with me?

Go well, Manolo.

Let's go.

-Good morning, Mr. Vital. -Good morning, Mr. Vital.

Good morning, Manolo.

Have you already learned to drive?

Today, Mrs. Vila.

Very good.

How's the job, Counselor?

It would be wrong to go into details, Manolo.

Wow, man.

Manolo.

I'm sorry that didn't work out.

I asked, but they are not interested in the suburbs.

I think they are wrong,

but I don't know how to help him anymore.

Want to help? Run for mayor of Barcelona.

Me as mayor? Can you imagine?

Would you vote for me?

Depends.

Thank you.

See you later.

Come on. Everybody out!

The bus ends here.

Everybody out. Wait for the next 47.

But what's going on? I don't come down here.

The car goes to the garage.

But what is it, Manolo?

Well... Well, I'm going to mess it up.

Excuse me, and what do we do?

I'm sorry, I just don't know.

What's up?

Carmen, I'm on the road.

I go up with the car.

Notice to everyone.

Boy!

Look, I give you this, you take a cab and you go and you tell...

What is going on?

...to Matías that the Manolo has taken the bus to Torre Baró.

How? Where?

I have hijacked the bus, understand?

I think he wants to take the bus to Torre Baró.

To Torre Baró?

For God's sake, but where is that?

Come on, snap out of it.

But, Mr. Vital...

What's up?

I take the bus up to Torre Baró.

Let's go with you, Manolo.

Yes, yes, that's fine with me.

I have nothing else to do.

Yes, we go with you, Manolo.

You will see.

What are you doing here?

I'm going with you too.

So let's get down to business.

This bus is hijacked.

Cunt!

Come on!

Let's see, look there. Give me the top.

You have two more meters.

Okay, okay. -Pull, pull.

More, more.

-Pull, pull, pull, pull!

- Come on, let's go! - Hit it.

-Come on, Manolo!

-Come on, come on, come on! -Come on, come on, come on!

- You can do it! - Okay.

-Come on, come on, that's it! Come on, come on!

-Okay, okay, okay. -Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Cover me up, cover the hole! Plug it up!

Put some wood! Let's go!

Cover the hole!

Timbers need to be put in this hole.

Here, here, here.

-You put this one here.

Pull. Pull, what's happening. -Va.

-Come on, Manolo!

Now, now!

Now! Very good!

What a great time I have.

Come on, get in! Everybody up!

The bus to Torre Baró! Let's go to Torre Baró!

Are we all here?

Are we all here?

-Bravo!

Come on, you can do it!

-Watch out, watch out! -Let's go, let's go!

Come on up, Carmen!

Come on!

Manolo!

We want bus! We want bus!

We want a bus!

We want bus! We want bus! We want bus!

We want bus! We want bus!

We want a bus!

Everyone, everyone, everyone!

Everybody! José Manuel, here he is!

Listen to me!

Manolo, Manolo, Manolo!

Manolo, Manolo, Manolo!

-Hey, everybody, shut up! Shut up! Everybody, Vital is going to speak!

-The Vital!

Let's see, you know that I am a man of few words. of few words,

but we were told that we could not argue with the master.

We were told that we were getting paid as we deserved.

We were told that we would not have a place on this earth,

that we would have no light, that we would have no water.

Do you know what they told me when I went down to "l'Ajuntament"?

to ask for a line of 47 "per" Torre Baró?

They said, "And who's going to want to go up there? who's going to want to go up there?

And I told them:

"Crap, the ones who came down this morning!"

The Desi!

La Desi.

Where is it?

The Desi, who goes to the factory to sew.

The José Manuel. El Felipín, may he rest in peace.

And they answered me, they told me:

"It's impossible for me to go up 47 up to Torre Baró".

And I say to you now from here:

"Gentlemen, what is this?".

What is this?

What is this?

Come here. La Desi, the prettiest in the neighborhood.

What the fuck!

Let's see!

We've made a mess of things, now I'm taking the car to the garage.

So everybody inside. Pascual!

The lawyer! Everyone inside.

I take the car to the garage.

We've already made a mess!

Manolo! Manolo!

What do they want?

Calm down, calm down.

Please vacate the bus.

Carmen, take this with you.

Take the girl away, take the girl away.

No, Dad.

Joana. Let's go.

Let's go, sir. -No, it's all right... it's all right.

We are here of our own free will... -Get off the bus, let's go.

Turn off the engine.

Below.

That's right.

Back!

Disperse backwards, please!

All this for what, Manolo? Huh?

What for?

Everyone is as they are.

Come on, pull.

Pull... Pull.

Joana, come here.

Joana!

When the black rooster crows...

is that the day is coming to an end.

If the red rooster crowed,

another rooster would crow.

Ay,

if I lie,

may the song that I sing may the wind erase it.

Ay,

what a disappointment...

if the wind would erase me what I sing.

They met in the arena...

the two roosters facing each other.

The black rooster was large,

but the red one was brave.

Ay,

if I lie,

may the song that I sing may the wind erase it.

Ay,

what a disappointment

if the wind would erase me what I sing.

They looked at each other face to face

and attacked the black one first.

The red rooster is brave,

but black is treacherous.

Ay,

if I lie,

may the song that I sing may the wind erase it.

Ay,

what a disappointment

if the wind would erase me what I sing.

Black rooster, black rooster.

Black rooster, I warn you:

a red rooster does not give up

more than when he is already dead.

No red rooster surrenders

more than when... he is dead.

Ay,

if I lie,

may the song that I sing may the wind erase it.

Ay,

what a disappointment

if the wind were to blow me away

what I sing.

MANOLO VITAL WAS TRIED AND CONVICTED

FOR THE HIJACKING OF BUS 47.

My name is Manolo Vital,

coming from Valencia de Alcántara, Extremadura.

I live in the street Sant Feliu de Codina, number 100,

Torre Baró, which is a neighborhood in Barcelona.

I took bus 47

from Plaza de Cataluña to Torre Baró.

They say it's a kidnapping, but I think it's a necessity.

So here we are.

THANKS TO POPULAR PRESSURE,

MANOLO WAS READMITTED TO WORK...

Oh, how hard it is for me to climb the up the hill,

how hard it is for me to get up here.

ON THE CONDITION THAT HE WOULD NOT HIJACK ANOTHER BUS HIJACK ANOTHER BUS.

How hard it is for me to climb the hill,

how hard it is for me to get up here.

AFTER THE SEIZURE AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINTS,

How hard it is for me to climb the hill,

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT TORRE BARÓ

how hard it is for me to get up here.

AND OTHER SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS HAD A BUS LINE.

BARCELONA CHANGED FOREVER.

From 1 to 100, 47.

From 1 to 100, from 1 to 100.

1 to 100, and 47.

WHEN PASQUAL MARAGALL

BECOMES MAYOR OF BARCELONA,

From 1 to 100, from 1 to 100.

LIVED FOR A FEW DAYS AT MANOLO AND CARMEN'S HOUSE

From 1 to 100, and 47. If you want to come...

TO GET TO KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP CLOSE.

"In case I didn't come back, you would sell the fallow land.

JANUARY 16, 1998, THE CITY COUNCIL DELIVERED

The Pinto will tell you who is the one who buys it.

THE GOLD MEDAL OF THE CITY TO MANOLO VITAL.

Maria Antonia, Gonzalo's wife,

I put it in my pocket with a five-dollar bill.

You would sell the goats right away so they can't eat them

and with the pig you would do the same.

And you would settle with Mrs. Manuela, the bread lady.

And without further ado, goodbye. Your husband, Diego Vital.

And the watch for Manolo."

That's all my father's inheritance

before he was killed by the Falange

october 6, 36

in Valencia de Alcántara, the town where I was born.

CARME VILA OLIVÉ PASSED AWAY IN 2010.

A FEW MONTHS LATER MANOLO DIED.

NEVER LEFT TORRE BARÓ.

From those muds, these muds.

Why don't they feel?

Why don't they change the story altogether?

It is taken for granted...

that life is no different for the rest.

Even if I stay on the edge of the world...

and even if they don't understand why I ask.

And even if they treat me always as a stranger...

and even if the years go by and by,

the memory is not forgotten the memory nor the damage...

Of the people and what they love.

Of my longing by your side.

Of the pain that the world is not told.

And of the road that gets more complicated every day.

But all things are endured.

And for the love to whom you wanted to sing.

...of the one who fights with fear there in his chest

in case no one ever ever turns it into facts.

THANK YOU, LYNN, FOR MAKING US BETTER,

FOR FILLING OUR STORIES OF PRECIOUS VOICES

So many eyes that only look at one point.

Only wanted,

only what is necessary and what is necessary and fair.

And you do not ask for more than what is in your hands...

to fight for the dignity of every human being. of every human being.

And even if I stay on the edge of the world...

and even if they don't understand why I ask...

and even if they treat me always as a stranger...

and though the years and the years go by,

the memory is not forgotten the memory nor the damage...

Of the people and of what is loved.

Of my longing by your side.

Of the pain that the world does not explain.

And of the road that gets more complicated every day.

But all things are endured.

And for the love to whom you wanted to sing.

...of the one who fights with fear there in his chest

in case no one ever ever turns it into facts.
