- Pero siempre estás trabajando. - Sí.

- But you have to work all the time. - Yes.

- Te vi en aquella casita. - ¿Por eso me sonreías?

- I saw you in that small house. - Is that why you were smiling at me?

Oh, shit!

Creo que no nos conocemos. Perdona, qué vergüenza.

Maybe I have been too busy with work lately.

No, the water is too hot. I don't want to.

And I don't know where Ephra is.

- Nail, look. - Hi Victor.

A gift. It's going to look good in your house.

It's nice but... What is it?

- Sweet like you, intense like you. - Really?

Hey, Nail!

- Is that a red tomato plant? - I don't know. I just got it.

Try it.

- Are they edible? - I think so, are they?

Try one, sis.

- What does it taste like? - Very tasty.

- I don’t know how to describe it. - Nail, look what I found.

Do you like it?

Yes, I like it.

- I found it very deep down there. - Really deep?

- Did you dive that deep? - Yes, I have good lungs.

Do you want it?

No thanks, you should keep it.

Do you like it Lucas?

My love, take this to the house please.

Hey Roy, I just realized your feet are incredible.

- It's the first time someone says that. - Did you see the Canadian mines in the river?

- No, but I heard them. - Livia!

- Livia! - What?

- Roy says he's ashamed of his feet. - Why?

- I don't know. - I'm telling him they are very nice.

- Real shame is being a mega millionaire, right? - Yes of course.

Ashamed? I think they look like an Egyptian sculpture.

- Yes, me too. - Egyptian?

- Yes I think so. - Ok, thanks.

- Hey! Don't eat in front of the poor! - Right.

- We have to leave. - Yes, get ready.

I'm ready, so everyone hurry up.

Have you heard about that crazy Pharaoh?

That Pharaoh guy looks like you.

- He's such a meme. - He looks like you.

- In what way? - With blue, yellow, black hair.

He doesn't have blue hair he has red, yellow and white.

He looks just like you both clowns.

Roy, you broke my motor the other time, do we have a new one?

- Yes, because we have to go. - I hope it works.

- I'm ready! - Are you really that good?

- At what? - Fixing motors.

Abelito, cut here.

- Not so short. - No, no.

I don't like my hair.

Where are you going?

- Meera, wake up. - Where are you going?

- Come on, get your bags ready! - The girls should prepare them.

- That's called discrimination, you know? - No.

- So go and get ready. - It's called misogyny.

- That's what you're doing now. - No.

Men can also pack their own things. Unless you have disability.

- Do you have a disability? - Yes.

Sometimes I can’t think.

Seriously, prepare your bags.

- Mine is ready. - Mine too.

- Will you take the fruits? - Roy, is the motor ready?

- Almost ready. - I want to taste this fruit.

Teddy, Roy, you have to pay more attention.

The text continues with an anecdote from another narrator,

who shows us another custom of that time.

To celebrate poetry contests held in honor of the mother.

If the story told is true,

the winner displayed a salt crystal suspended by a string.

This led to people to reflect on salt.

It's quite possible that this text was originated in those years.

As we know, so many years ago text was a scarce resource.

So many indigenous communities where trying to obtain it.

They found a hard rock and took it to their kitchens.

When the rock turned red, the person would break off a piece out with a hammer.

- What do you do when you're alone? - I prepare my memories.

- That’s beautiful. - I’ve saved every emoji I’ve ever used.

And what’s your favorite band?

- Existing is exhausting. - Wow, that's mine also.

- And your favorite song? - The life of a flower.

I'm leaving. This is boring.

First a bullet, then the machete, you want to kill every animal!

It's ok that you don't like the jungle.

- You want to kill every animal you find. - No, only snakes.

Be careful.

Ten cuidado.

I could only kill a snake.

Let's go.

- Do you sing? - Yes, I like singing a lot.

I like it.

- How was it? Bad? Or worse? - What?

Hard, hard, hard, powerful.

As I was saying, I like to sing a lot. I sing at home.

When I'm not doing anything. I make a lot of noise.

- I like listening music. - What kind of music do you like?

I like electronic music.

Me too, me too.

I like reggaeton, electro.

Cumbia.

Sure, who doesn't like cumbia?

I also like merengue, lambadas.

I like salsa. But the old ones.

What about the new ones?

They’re ok for dancing, but the older songs are more heartfelt.

- Do you dance Salsa? - Of course.

- Can you teach me? - No.

- Yes, you’ll teach me. - Why?

I don't know how to dance.

- Did you capture the monkey? - Almost, with the machete.

- I hear it screaming. - That's not a monkey, it's a macaw.

Leave the animals alone, they aren't bothering you.

It's for my profile picture.

Too much. You want to kill all of them.

I'd like to find a jaguar.

Alive? It would eat us all.

What if we walk? Come on.

I felt dizzy, I wanted to faint. I had a headache and was in bed,

I tried to get up and ended up swallowing it.

- Don't do that because you could choke. - Swallowing your vomit?

- You can choke by swallowing vomit. - I felt dizzy and embarrassed.

Some came out my nose.

We have to take the little blue egg to the old man behind the hill.

Right. You told me many times.

Ya. Me lo has dicho muchas veces.

Don't eat that.

What is the blue egg for?

Does anyone know?

- No idea. - Is that a bird or an animal?

¿Es un pájaro o un animal?

- I asked you the same thing. - I don't know. Should we ask them?

- Te he preguntado lo mismo. - No lo sé. ¿Les preguntamos a ellos?

What is that?

¿Qué es eso?

Delfin told me something crazy.

He wants to kill the millionaires.

- I think it will rain much heavier than this. - Mega millionaires. Perverse, evil, sceptic, sick.

Have you seen these flowers before?

¿Has visto estas flores antes?

- No. - Aren't they beautiful?

- No. - ¿No son preciosas?

- If they are sick, could we help them? - Yes, but there is one more thing.

Sí, pero pasa una cosa.

What?

¿Qué?

- Help them for what? - Things that are beautiful are dangerous.

Las cosas bonitas son peligrosas.

They don't listen.

Roy, what are you doing? I'm clearing the way.

- Why are you cutting the saplings? - The problem is everybody wants to have that disease.

¿Crees que los encontraremos aquí?

Yes, they stay in very expensive hotels, above the trees.

No, that's just normal rich people.

They’re not mega millionaires.

Not that rich.

Sure, not that rich.

But we don't know if they make their money legally or illegally.

- No idea, but I don't care. - They have it, that’s for sure.

Delfin told me they are starting to come this way.

What?

Delfin told me they are starting to come this way.

Once my cousin betrayed me.

He took me out on the road for a ride.

He told me to kill his best friend.

Because he hadn't delivered a package.

He gave me a gun.

If I didn't kill him he would kill me.

- Why? - As a proof of loyalty.

He tricked me.

So I told him he'd better kill me, I wouldn't be able to kill anybody.

What we can do is keep walking. Even if it's not much.

But what if we find them, what can we do?

Roy, where are you going?

Bijau leaf.

Bijau.

Can you hear that?

- Yes I think it's a panguana. - What's that?

Slowly, it can get scared. It was already attacked before.

They are shy monkeys.

- Roy, use your machete. - No! Not the machete.

That's how the woodpecker spends the whole winter

burrowing at the bottom of the river.

So the piranhas can lay their eggs. Then they fly away and let out

a salty teardrop.

- Which is the chamaleon's food— - Hey Mr. Delfin.

- Is that a myth? - No, it's ancient science.

- Very old? - Quite old.

I, on the other hand, chose to study gases, because it related to my final goal,

transparency.

I began to study by analyzing rythm, humidity and density.

- Shouldn't we be working? - Yes but look at this.

Wow a blue egg!

In 1883, the sound of the Krakatoa volcano broke the eardrums of people more than 60km away.

The sound went around the world 4 times and it was heard 5,000 km away.

All the animals had to find refuge in small islands and sandbars.

Other years it has not grown as much.

I remember my father said that the river overflowed in the eighties, nineties.

That was many years ago.

People in my neighborhood told me that every once in a while there must be a flood like this.

Normally it floods, but not the whole town.

When this happens, the fish and giant animals migrate.

Yes, they go from one place to the other.

- The rice is going to be hot. - What was that sound?

The sound of the camungo.

- Which animal is that? - Camungo.

- Is it a monkey? - No, it's a bird.

- Is it dangerous? - How do you say “ave”?

- Una gran... - ¿Ave?

- Eso. - ¿Negra?

Blanca y negra.

- Roy, is that animal dangerous? - No.

I’ll tell you something.

My grandmother says that the camungo,

if you want to eat it, usually people don't.

But, if you want to eat it,

When you kill it, you have to hit it with a stick.

You have to hit it hard.

- Oh it's whole body? - On it's body, yes.

Because if you don't hit it they say that the body is foamy.

When you hit it it kind of softens up.

And people can eat it's flesh. Interesting right?

- Maybe because of its diet. - It's going to rain.

Yes, rain it's coming!

What a day, today is carnival.

- Are the masked ones coming out? - Yes.

Sorry guys! I think the rice is burnt.

We have to turn down the heat.

Are you still sad?

Yes, a little bit.

- Not as much as before. - You know what could help you?

I meditate everyday,

I see each layer of my body disintegrating in the forest

little by little, day after day. Each minute, each second.

Until it disappears completely.

I can’t imagine myself like that.

I do, I see bodies of animals,

I imagine seeing my body lying on the ground.

Eaten by vultures.

By worms, my hair. m.

The bees sucking my blood.

My fingers wet.

Ok, suddenly I feel like I don’t understand.

Suddenly, the path is too long. Where are we sleeping today?

I don't know.

But where are we going?

I'm following you.

What? No, I'm following you!

Where are you going?

I have to look for a job.

Where?

My parents want me to join the navy but I want to be a musician.

Oh, no, but where are you going?

What would you do?

Well I would like to be a specialist in seeing and hearing.

Oh, that's nice but I don't like seeing that much.

- Really? - Yes.

To each their own.

But did you see the meteorite yesterday?

No, I was on the computer.

It was cool, you missed out.

Did you put the computer in the freezer?

Yeah, don't worry.

I feel that we're not moving forward.

According to the local beliefs, we are going forward.

Do you believe in that?

I can't believe we're alive and talking about our old age.

Well, yeah.

You still haven't told me where are you going?

I have to go watch animals thinking.

You’re such a fucking clown.

- I'm getting tired, Lucas. - Me too.

How long till you get there?

I don't know.

Did you like the kiss?

I'm practically neutral.

So I try to make the other person understand.

It can be an advice or a wake-up call.

At the same time.

Give me a piece of advice and a wake-up call.

Don't play with feelings.

Especially not with me.

Try to be there.

You already told me that.

- What do you think about all of this now? - I think it's a nice evening.

With a beautiful girl.

Yes, lie to me a little more.

Believe me!

I’ve believed all your words.

Ouch! That hurt.

I’ll still tell you.

Lies?

I didn't say that!

You put words in my mouth that I didn't say, woman.

I'll say the truth.

I remember when I lie, so...

Look at that hidden house, so pretty.

Just like me!

I'm so pretty on the outside. On the inside I'm a...

That was the plantain.

And you. You are like this.

What?

Pretty on the outside, pretty on the inside.

You're beautiful.

I'm not going to listen anymore.

I'm not gonna tell you anymore.

If you want to.

I’ll believe you, just for today.

You have a heart of glass.

Hard and beautiful?

And shiny.

I have dirty thoughts when I say “hard”.

- Are you going to say vulgar things? - No.

I’ve never done that.

Now it feels like my sighs are more quiet and soft.

It's because I'm next to the right person.

You embarrass me, woman.

In what way?

Is just that you're so kind.

- So pretty. - And kind?

You're good with your hands. You said it yourself!

Everything my hands do is good, sometimes tasty.

When I cook.

Yes.

Don't take it the wrong way.

Keep telling me nice things, I'm believing them.

Look at you!

What more nice things can I tell you?

Whatever you feel in your cold heart.

No!

Don't leave my dark and cold heart, woman.

Me?

Or your feelings?

Let's not talk about my feelings now.

- Let's talk about you. - What do you want to know about me?

I just want to look at you.

Anything else?

You look like,

have you seen Karate Kid?

The cobra and the kid.

I'm the cobra and you, you're the kid.

You need to concentrate!

- I’m the kid? - And I'm the cobra.

- What a nice day. - I’m sighing peacefully.

See? That happens to me too.

I sigh better when I'm next to the right person.

This one time, my sister was going to the market.

She felt someone putting their hands in her pocket.

Miraculously they didn't steal her cell phone.

Thank God, nothing happened.

These are things you have to learn.

Now I'm the one who is embarrassed.

I'm not even afraid of the dark anymore.

I'm relaxed, as if floating in my own lake.

I mean, my own world.

You are in your space.

Floating.

- Are you ok? - This rain is making me deaf.

- What? - This rain is making me deaf.

- What? - How's the water?

I'm leaving.

Why aren’t you talking to me? It’s as if you didn't see me.

¿Por qué no me hablas? Es como si no me vieras.

Sorry I didn't notice you.

Siento no haberte visto.

- You don't even say hi to me? - Hi.

- ¿Ni me saludas? - Hola.

Will you take me to my home?

¿Me llevas a casa?

No. I'll take you somewhere else and you will have to go home alone.

No. Te llevaré a otro lugar y tendrás que irte a casa solo.

That's ok.

No pasa nada.

Kiu me dijo que tienes que encontrar la casa de muñecas.

Kiu told me that you have to find the doll house.

Why did they name the house that?

¿Por qué la llamaron así?

It's not because it's small, it's because the owner of the house doesn't work.

No es porque sea pequeña,

es porque su dueño no trabaja.

Por eso tiene ese nombre.

That's why it got that name.

It seems they are gone.

They are sleeping. Sleeping.

Do you want burned rice?

Every time there's an earthquake, my cat jumps in the bed and hides under the covers.

Durante un terremoto

mi gato salta a la cama y se esconde entre las sábanas.

I thought you were becoming a parrot.

Creía que te convertías en loro.

Do you think she looks like a parrot?

¿Crees que se parece a un loro?

I love this!

¡Me encanta!

But do you know who that is?

¿Sabéis quién es?

I'm shouting without even knowing who it is. This reminds me when I played Playstation.

Grito sin ni siquiera saber quién es.

They shout and we joined them. I went up the hills on a motorbike.

Gritaban y nos uníamos a ellos.

I think they are our kind. With a black character called Franklin.

- Son nuestro tipo. - Con un personaje, Franklin.

The longer we're here the colder it gets. Have you played Play?

- Cada vez hace más frío. - ¿Has jugado alguna vez?

Games. Video games.

A videojuegos.

Look at the clouds. I can almost touch them. I was playing those music games.

- Mira las nubes. Puedo tocarlas. - Jugaba a juegos de música.

Anyway, I can't stand the cold. This mountain reminds me of those games.

De todas formas, no soporto el frío.

When there was sunlight it was easier. I like to play the rhythm game.

Con la luz del sol era más fácil.

Me gusta el juego del ritmo.

But this is very difficult. Visuals in music games are so eccentric.

Pero esto es muy difícil.

Los gráficos de los juegos de música son muy raros.

I would like to play again but in real life.

Me gustaría jugar otra vez en la vida real.

You need to focus on the visuals so it goes... piu piu piu piu.

Fíjate en los gráficos. Hacen: "piu, piu, piu".

So you're completely immersed in it.

Te sumerges completamente en ello.

Well, climb, look, touch, whatever you want, but let’s get up there!

Come on Riri, you can do it. We all can.

We’ll get this only once in this lifetime. My legs hurt.

Solo lo conseguiremos una vez en la vida.

Even if I got the chance, I wouldn’t do it again.

Si pudiese, no lo volvería a hacer.

That's right! Looks like you've been through a lot!

Ya. Parece que nos ha pasado de todo.

My father would say to me.

Mi padre solía decirme:

"A person who has never climbed Sivanoli Pada Malai is a fool,

"Quien nunca ha escalado Sivanoli Pada Malai es un necio,

and a person who has climbed more than once is also a fool!"

pero el que lo ha escalado más de una vez, también lo es".

That's right! I think the others are still far behind.

Ya. Creo que los demás están todavía lejos.

How are you walking so well?

¿Cómo puedes ir tan bien?

That's all I can do. I can't even breathe properly. Slow down. This is very tiring.

- No puedo ni respirar con normalidad. - Tranquilo. Esto es muy cansado.

It's tiring for me too. My nose is frozen. Look. Aren't you also tired? Hurry slowly.

- Y para mí. Tengo la nariz congelada. - ¿No estás cansado tú también?

Yes it's so red!

Sí, está rojísima.

I love this. But the clouds not so much.

Riri, we have to keep going.

- Hey Dani! - What is it, Rapha?

- ¡Oye, Dani! - ¿Qué pasa, Rapha?

- I bumped my head on the door. - Are you hurt?

- Me he dado con la puerta. - ¿Te duele?

- I'm so tired from yesterday. - Today will be good.

- Estoy cansado de ayer. - Hoy todo irá bien.

I prefer the egg. It's warm.

What are you doing with me? I like the landscape, but the cold is biting.

¿Qué estás haciendo?

¡Agítalo! Date la vuelta y agítalo.

Shake it! Turn around and shake it! I prefer the warm egg.

¡Han! Ven a ver esto.

Han! Come check this out!

I heard, if you stand between two neurons,

Dicen que si te paras entre dos neuronas,

cuando pasa la información,

when information passes by, it's like the wind is blowing.

es como si el viento soplara.

That bird doesn't sound local.

Ese pájaro no parece de aquí.

I think it does live here.

I don't think I could fly after all this climbing.

No podría volar después de esta subida.

Shall we go with them?

¿Vamos con ellos?

I can't believe that we’ve come this far.

No me creo que hayamos llegado hasta aquí.

And that on top of that we're talking about our old age!

Y, aparte de eso,

hablamos de nuestra edad.

I garden a little in Kaohsiung. I'm also a butler.

En Kaohsiung soy jardinero y también mayordomo.

In Taichung, I help manage some old houses.

En Taichung, ayudo a gestionar casas antiguas.

In Pintung, I sell some amazing plants, like magic mushrooms.

En Pintung, vendo algunas plantas increíbles,

como hongos alucinógenos.

Look, how beautiful!

Livia, did I tell you that when I was drunk I saw you in a flooded neighborhood?

Livia, ¿te dije que, cuando estaba borracho,

te vi en un vecindario inundado?

Really? What was I doing?

Estabas sentada comiendo un mango.

You were seated eating mango.

Oh, just that?

What? I can’t hear in this ear properly.

¿Cómo? No escucho bien con este oído.

Meera, ¿cómo estás?

Meera, how are you feeling?

- Háblame por el otro. - ¿Cómo estás?

- Speak in my other ear. - How are you feeling?

No respiro bien. Estoy muy cansado.

- I can't even breathe properly. I'm very tired. - Tell me the truth, Ephra.

Cuanto más mires, más grande será.

The more you look, the bigger it will get.

Ephra, hadn’t you thrown them in the lake?

Vuelve a mí solo. ¿Qué puedo hacer?

It keeps on coming back to me all by itself. What can I do?

I think he has many.

Where did you get them?

¿De dónde lo has sacado?

Un chico de mi barrio me lo dio.

A boy near my house gave them to me.

I think you don't want to tell us all the details, right?

I love fried eggs.

But not those.

- Very dangerous! - Dangerous? Nah.

The eggs are the nipples.

- ¡Qué mono! - ¿Verdad? Deberías probarlo.

- So cute! - Right? You should try it.

Hey! Where were you?

Fumando y hablando con amigos.

- Smoking and speaking with friends. - But I don't think I could do that.

No creo que pudiese hacerlo.

If you practiced you could do it.

Si practicaras, podrías hacerlo.

Tengo mucho frío.

I'm very cold.

- ¿Si tuvieras las tetas más grandes? - Estaría genial.

- What if you had bigger boobs? - It would be very nice.

Meera wants them. Big ones!

Meera las quiere grandes.

Tengo los labios cortados.

My lips, broken.

¿Dices debajo?

- You mean under? - Yeah. I regret coming, but I don't want to regret it.

Me arrepiento de venir, pero no quiero hacerlo.

What happened?

- He visto cuadrados a tu alrededor. - ¿No sentiste nada?

- I saw squares around you. - Didn't you feel anything?

Did you see it?

¿Los vistes?

Little squares?

Yo no los he visto.

- Do I still have? - No, not anymore.

Where are we going?

To fish in the lake.

- For dinner. - Dinner! Yes!

Cuanto más estamos aquí, más frío hace.

The longer we're here, the colder it gets.

Sí, cada ciudad huele distinto, ¿verdad?

Yeah, every city smells completely differently, doesn't it?

Creo que los animales me hablan

I think animals talk to me because they know I won't cause them any harm.

porque saben que no les voy a hacer daño.

Because I use my time to find courage and explore my weaknesses.

Porque uso el tiempo para encontrar mi valentía y explorar mi debilidad.

- Hey friend, it’s been a long time! - Yes! I'm so happy to see you.

- Although it's beautiful here, it's difficult to walk. - Yes, I can't breathe properly.

Aunque esto sea precioso, me cuesta andar.

Sí, me cuesta respirar.

Don't leave, I have to tell you something.

¡Cuánto pesa!

Where are you going?

I tried to fall down.

He intentado caerme.

Did you try to fall or you almost fell?

¿Intentaste caerte o casi te caes?

I tried to fall. Sorry, I almost fell.

Intenté caerme. Perdona, casi me caigo.

- Does that really protect you? - Of course. It was very expensive.

I like it.

I can't walk more beyond this.

Ya no puedo andar más.

I'll wait, If it doesn't work I'll kill myself.

Aunque esto sea duro, me siento feliz.

- Even though it's hard here, I feel a little happy. - Suddenly I don't understand.

I will only know in the warm zone.

Suddenly the path is too long. Where will we sleep tonight?

Excuse me.

I almost fell down.

Casi me caigo.

Singyi, tengo frío. Cógeme.

- Singyi, I'm very cold. Please take me. - See you later.

Where?

Oh my god I'm on the verge of falling.

Madre mía, estoy a punto de caerme.

Look here!

¡Mira esto!

Yes! But when we are over there, we can see what's going on here as well.

¡Sí! Pero cuando estamos allí,

también podemos ver lo que pasa aquí.

We are above the clouds.

The sky is here with us.

It feels so close.

¿A dónde vamos ahora?

Where are we going now?

¿A dónde vamos?

- Where are we going? - He fell!

Es como estas piedras

It's like how these rocks, having been stomped upon.

que han sido pisoteadas.

Aplastadas, inundadas,

Crushed, rained on, eroded, and then stepped on.

erosionadas y pisoteadas.

Se volvieron lisas.

They become smooth.

Menuda transformación.

That's a kind of transformation.

Todos tenemos una forma.

Everyone has a shape.

Is this the way?

¿A dónde vamos? ¿Sabes a dónde vamos?

Where are we going? Do you know where are we going?

¿Vamos hacia allí?

Are we going over there?

¿Esa es nuestra casa?

Is that our home?

Is it there? It’s gone?

¿Está ahí? ¿Ya no está?

- Is it gone? Do you see it? - It’s here.

- ¿Se ha perdido? ¿Lo ves? - Está aquí.
