1
00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:11,470
I can't stand you anymore, Bernarda!

2
00:00:11,595 --> 00:00:13,597
Always dressed in black, like a vulture.

3
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,558
You sneak out at night like a bitch.

4
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:19,853
Do you want to ruin
your reputation even more?

5
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:22,731
I don't care what they say.

6
00:00:22,814 --> 00:00:24,566
You should, you bitch!

7
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:28,195
It was that levity
that killed your mother!

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,696
You killed my mother!

9
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:47,881
It's alright, mother.

10
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:51,176
It's alright.

11
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:17,536
Won't your sister come down to eat?

12
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:19,705
She was brushing her hair.

13
00:01:21,789 --> 00:01:22,791
I'm all done.

14
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:25,794
I made a braid like yours.

15
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:31,091
-Where did you get that?
-The pants?

16
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:34,094
In your wardrobe!

17
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:36,930
Take that off.

18
00:01:37,139 --> 00:01:38,265
Put on a dress.

19
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:39,640
Go.

20
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:43,103
You'll change, too?

21
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:45,689
I won't. But you will.

22
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:50,694
Better not challenge the colonel
or you'll get whipped.

23
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:56,033
Go.

24
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:45,207
MADAM BEJA

25
00:02:59,763 --> 00:03:04,768
What did you do with the books
you got from Madam Constance?

26
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:06,311
I hid them.

27
00:03:06,395 --> 00:03:07,604
You hid them?

28
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:10,649
Imagine the girls sifting
through the Kama Sutra

29
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,235
like it's the Adventures of Telemachus!

30
00:03:13,902 --> 00:03:18,240
You wanted access to that information
when you were younger.

31
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:20,075
Before I had daughters, my friend.

32
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:24,621
Now I just want them to get married,
have children,

33
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:26,790
and that they're accepted by society.

34
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:31,044
It's strange to see you speak like that.

35
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:35,841
You are a powerful woman
precisely because of your audacity,

36
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:38,635
your curiosity, your freedom.

37
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,264
That freedom

38
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:45,559
made me, and still makes me,
pay quite a high price.

39
00:03:45,976 --> 00:03:49,646
I don't want my daughters
to go through what I did.

40
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:53,984
You think you can spare them
from suffering by getting them wed?

41
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,027
Or forbidding them from pants?

42
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:59,573
You are Madam Beja,

43
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,284
the owner of Arax�,

44
00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:05,287
only because you made
yourself free, my dear.

45
00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:09,583
Freedom is a heavy burden, dear.

46
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:14,296
It gives you choices,
and choices demand responsibilities.

47
00:04:16,255 --> 00:04:17,382
What's better,

48
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,428
being free and living as a marginal?

49
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:27,058
Or living according to society
in order to be accepted?

50
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:37,486
More smiling, girls!

51
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:39,070
This is a place of pleasure!

52
00:04:39,738 --> 00:04:42,741
Why do you think Beja isn't with us?

53
00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:44,451
-No clue.
-Girls.

54
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:46,912
Less talk, more dedication, please.

55
00:04:47,037 --> 00:04:48,079
-Again.
-Yes.

56
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:07,599
Beja?

57
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:13,230
-Yes?
-I came to check if you felt off.

58
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,650
-Why?
-It's the first time you don't join us.

59
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,361
I'm very tired.

60
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:22,697
Some nights I don't even want
to get on stage.

61
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:24,491
You can count on me.

62
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:28,119
If you'd like me to lay
with the colonels in your stead.

63
00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:32,916
No. Thank you.

64
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:35,919
To the men of Arax� I am the only Beja.

65
00:05:36,253 --> 00:05:38,964
And to those that aren't from here
and never visited?

66
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:41,383
Can't I travel as Madam Beja?

67
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:44,261
-I did that so much when...
-Ol�via, forget it.

68
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:48,098
We've talked about this.
It was necessary, at the time.

69
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:51,101
Do you remember Col. Jord�o?

70
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:53,144
I don't want you risking your life.

71
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:57,023
This is the life I asked God for.

72
00:05:57,816 --> 00:05:59,109
-Really?
-Yes.

73
00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:01,027
I want something better.

74
00:06:01,403 --> 00:06:06,408
Yes? Better than having a job,
a bed and food?

75
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:08,577
And even pleasure?

76
00:06:10,287 --> 00:06:12,539
Better than being
just one of Beja's girls,

77
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:15,458
when I could instead be the new Beja.

78
00:06:19,462 --> 00:06:21,256
There's nothing "new" about you.

79
00:06:21,673 --> 00:06:22,716
R�mulo!

80
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,427
How old do you think the boss is?

81
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:27,721
And how old are you?

82
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:31,391
Are you with me, or against me?

83
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:33,894
With you, my little treat.

84
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:36,021
With you.

85
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,441
What's that for?

86
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:41,902
If you want to be Madam Beja,

87
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:44,321
you'll have to

88
00:06:45,614 --> 00:06:46,698
wear a crown.

89
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:50,034
It's called a diadem, you idiot!

90
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,079
R�mulo!

91
00:06:57,292 --> 00:06:58,752
What are you laughing at?

92
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:02,714
You're a crass man,

93
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:04,925
but when you think,
you can have good ideas.

94
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,469
I gave you a good idea?

95
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:12,891
I can be Madam Beja
outside of Arax� again!

96
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:14,935
Without anyone knowing it!

97
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,814
To do that, I just need a crown.

98
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:23,944
A toast to uncle Felizardo,

99
00:07:24,486 --> 00:07:28,073
who cared for our farm
like it was his for all of these years.

100
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:32,118
I could've done more, but,

101
00:07:32,702 --> 00:07:36,498
your workers,
even when they're paid for their work,

102
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:39,793
are quite slow and so full of wants.

103
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:41,795
Not in my farm.

104
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:46,341
In my farm, the workers do as I say
and they don't even get paid.

105
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:52,681
All this rotten "freedom" business
does these people a lot of harm.

106
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,225
In my farm, "these people,"

107
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,143
my people,

108
00:07:58,687 --> 00:08:01,690
will never work in chains,
nor without payment.

109
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:05,151
You'd only stand to gain
if you did the same in your lands.

110
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:11,658
I can handle my own business, Ant�nio.

111
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:16,705
And life on the capital?

112
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:20,000
-I wanted...
-Shut up, Genoveva!

113
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:21,710
A woman wants nothing.

114
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:27,549
Seventeen years later,
my brother is still ever the bronco.

115
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:30,010
And you, shut your mouth.

116
00:08:30,135 --> 00:08:32,554
Respect him,
he's head of the family now.

117
00:08:34,597 --> 00:08:37,017
In case you haven't noticed,
dear brother,

118
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,312
it's your mouth that Ant�nio
can't wait to see shut.

119
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:55,326
What the fuck, Ceci?

120
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:57,078
You're drinking?

121
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,582
And next, dear sister?

122
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:03,334
Will we see you drinking
with the whores at the tavern?

123
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:08,631
-You offend me.
-You offend your family!

124
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:13,053
How could a good, faithful woman
drink cacha�a like a man?

125
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:14,471
Don't make things worse.

126
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,641
I just want to know
what's happening with my mother.

127
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,061
My son...

128
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:27,025
This house is full of ghosts.

129
00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:29,069
So much pain.

130
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:32,655
So much regret.

131
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,785
I don't want to go back in that room.

132
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:39,245
Alright.

133
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:42,624
We'll sort out another room for you.

134
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:45,251
Good, then I won't have to change rooms.

135
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:47,962
What?

136
00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:51,091
Where else should I be?
That's the best room.

137
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:52,258
Alright, uncle.

138
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:56,721
You and Mrs. Genoveva can continue
to sleep in my parents' room.

139
00:09:57,347 --> 00:09:58,932
Not your parents'.

140
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:01,226
Your father's not here.

141
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,815
You're crying because you're drunk.

142
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,109
You should be beaten.

143
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:20,662
You'll be alright.

144
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:22,831
I'm sorry, my son.

145
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:25,416
I'm sorry.

146
00:10:27,836 --> 00:10:29,129
I'll never drink again.

147
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:33,007
I promise. Never again. Not one drop.

148
00:10:35,176 --> 00:10:36,261
I promise.

149
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,185
It's a shame I can't go
to the Donkey's Creek today.

150
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:48,731
That water is magical.
That mud rejuvenates.

151
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:49,899
Beja.

152
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,442
You are still young.

153
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,027
And lovely.

154
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,491
Time passes for everyone,
Severina, but women,

155
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:00,451
they're run over by it.

156
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:03,872
Wrinkles, white hairs, poor disposition.

157
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:08,042
I know I've become
a more interesting woman with age.

158
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:10,753
But who cares about that?

159
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:15,049
I've been thinking about what will be
of the Estate of Jatob�,

160
00:11:15,884 --> 00:11:18,344
once Madam Beja is old
and brings no clients.

161
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:24,058
-Maybe another girl takes your place?
-Another? Ol�via?

162
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:27,937
You know she'll make
the other girls lay, too.

163
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:34,819
What will I do with the girls
and the estate,

164
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:37,322
when I stop working?

165
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:40,533
What if the Estate of Jatob�
becomes a tea house?

166
00:11:40,658 --> 00:11:44,787
Do you really think the ladies of Arax�
will visit this place?

167
00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:46,331
You're getting married!

168
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:48,958
You have daughters
and you live in a mansion!

169
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,086
You're like any
respectable woman from here.

170
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:53,379
Like any...

171
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,049
but not quite.

172
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,513
I'll think on it. On your suggestion.

173
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:05,558
What Arax� needs,

174
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:08,811
my dear councilors,
is to look to the future.

175
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:11,356
Why perpetuate the past?

176
00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:13,566
This talk, again?

177
00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:17,278
No one will pay these people
to do work they'll do for free!

178
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,407
You are mistaken, Col. Felizardo.

179
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,452
The captives' work is not for free.

180
00:12:25,119 --> 00:12:27,956
Not for you, not any other colonel.

181
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:32,543
It's much more costly
to keep the blacks as slaves

182
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:35,463
than to use a free workforce
that is paid for their work.

183
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:38,591
Your ideas will find no ears here, Jo�o.

184
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:40,969
Especially not after the Haiti incident.

185
00:12:41,052 --> 00:12:43,972
Do you know the first thing
the black people did

186
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:45,431
when they were freed?

187
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,850
They decapitated whites!

188
00:12:47,976 --> 00:12:49,560
-Yes!
-They did...

189
00:12:49,644 --> 00:12:50,728
-He's right.
-True.

190
00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:53,439
You are warping the facts, sir.

191
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:57,026
If France had promoted freedom,

192
00:12:57,485 --> 00:13:01,364
the slaves wouldn't have had
to do that with their own hands!

193
00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:02,615
Exactly.

194
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:06,286
The violence against whites
was brought on by whites themselves!

195
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,871
-Do we want that here?
-No, never.

196
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:11,916
Be calm, gentlemen. Please, simmer down.

197
00:13:12,709 --> 00:13:16,504
Do you want these people
to preside over Arax�'s council?

198
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:18,881
An agitator?

199
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:20,341
Jo�o.

200
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:24,721
-What do you want, Colonel?
-More sensible ideas.

201
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:26,889
Like yours.

202
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:28,391
You support me,

203
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,728
but the others disagree with me.

204
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:34,480
I'd be a stupid man
if I disagreed as well.

205
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:38,526
And I'd have much less influence
over the local liberals.

206
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:41,946
I have a proposal.

207
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:44,949
If you agree with it,

208
00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:49,787
I'll sign you up as candidate
for a position as deputy.

209
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:51,956
For the Liberal Party.

210
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:56,669
I've heard Ant�nio returned
to run for the Conservative Party.

211
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:58,713
Are you scared of competing with him?

212
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:01,341
Not fear, Colonel. Respect.

213
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:05,678
Though he's a conservative, he's fought
for causes that are mine, too.

214
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,972
He didn't achieve much,

215
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:10,975
but many at the capital listen to him.

216
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:13,978
But me? In Arax�?

217
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:17,398
I can barely speak.

218
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:21,819
-It won't be easy.
-Think on it.

219
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:24,989
I knew it!

220
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:29,369
Such an offer was bound to show up!
I was sure of it, Jo�o!

221
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:34,290
Let's say I win this election,
would you move to the capital with me?

222
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:37,126
And what would I do there?

223
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:38,711
Be wife to a deputy!

224
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,547
I bet you'll never be bored.

225
00:14:42,965 --> 00:14:46,844
I bet none such activities
would make me any money.

226
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:50,598
I have my business here, Jo�o.

227
00:14:51,265 --> 00:14:52,975
I will not leave it.

228
00:14:53,976 --> 00:14:55,561
I will not mooch on any man.

229
00:14:57,688 --> 00:15:02,610
Jo�o Mendon�a had the temerity to refuse
my offer just because he'll marry Beja!

230
00:15:03,361 --> 00:15:05,613
What is he now? A married little lady?

231
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:08,866
Who doesn't want to be paid for
and laid with by Beja everyday?

232
00:15:08,991 --> 00:15:11,077
I'm truly sad that you're my son.

233
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:17,750
So mediocre. I still can't believe
you abandoned our farm, all these years.

234
00:15:17,834 --> 00:15:21,003
You wanted me to work the land,
but never touch the money.

235
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,339
So, I was off to my lane.

236
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:26,926
I did well, because now my newspaper
is the most successful in the area.

237
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:29,053
Then you should help your father.

238
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:34,058
Why should I give you money?
To pay for your debauchery?

239
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:37,603
-The whores you spent your money on?
-Respect me, boy!

240
00:15:37,687 --> 00:15:40,773
-I'm still your father!
-Love is paid for with love, dear dad.

241
00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:43,526
I'm giving back to you
what you always gave to me.

242
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:45,236
Now, excuse me.

243
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:48,489
I have a newspaper to run.

244
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:58,665
If anyone can defend the interests
of Arax� in these upcoming elections,

245
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:01,210
it'd be my nephew, Ant�nio,

246
00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:03,838
who's proven he's not afraid of a fight.

247
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:06,674
And the matter of the captives?

248
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:12,805
Do you still intend on fighting
to change their working conditions?

249
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:14,140
Mr. Judge,

250
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:18,144
everyone knows that I fight
for the freedom of the captives.

251
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:21,814
But I want everything done
within the law and order.

252
00:16:22,732 --> 00:16:25,651
Slowly, gradually, and safely.

253
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,279
With measures
of compensation for the blacks,

254
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:30,990
and indemnifying the farmers, of course.

255
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,284
-Yes!
-Excellent, excellent!

256
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:36,954
With indemnification,
the load is lighter.

257
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:41,292
I believe everyone agrees that my nephew

258
00:16:41,417 --> 00:16:46,255
is the Conservative Party's best shot
at winning the upcoming elections.

259
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:50,426
-No?
-Yes, of course. Of course he is.

260
00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:52,428
Well,

261
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:55,598
I accept candidacy with much honor.

262
00:17:00,144 --> 00:17:03,022
"...to whom sunlight, in vain, so dares.

263
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:07,443
-A poppy, or a delicate rose..."
-Dear God.

264
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:10,780
What was that, Vicente?

265
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:14,450
Forgive me, grandma.
This book truly moves me.

266
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:17,161
Costa Pinto!

267
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:22,916
Whose blasted idea was it
to give this boy a poetry book?

268
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:25,294
Why, Vicente?

269
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,298
-You didn't like it?
-No, I love it!

270
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:33,761
I'd spend all night with the words
of Tom�s Gonzaga!

271
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:37,598
-Lovely!
-Spend your nights at the tavern!

272
00:17:38,182 --> 00:17:40,017
Well, Vicente...

273
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,688
You're a man now.

274
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:47,358
As your grandma says,

275
00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:52,488
-you must learn how to please...
-For God's sake, Costa Pinto!

276
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,782
Not how to "please!"

277
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:58,786
-No?
-He needs to learn how to lay with them!

278
00:18:01,372 --> 00:18:03,249
Vicente, go to bed. Go.

279
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:09,380
-But, what...
-No poetry.

280
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,426
-Good night, grandma.
-Good night.

281
00:18:13,551 --> 00:18:15,386
God bless you, son.

282
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:19,932
My husband,

283
00:18:20,683 --> 00:18:24,645
if you're unable to teach
that boy how to be a man,

284
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:27,440
then I will do that my very own self!

285
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:30,026
Before he becomes...

286
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:32,695
a useless man!

287
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:33,988
Like his father.

288
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:37,700
All he did was cry!
All he did was recite poetry!

289
00:18:39,577 --> 00:18:41,245
Honorato.

290
00:18:43,831 --> 00:18:46,000
He was a sensitive man.

291
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,295
Did we do the right thing, Augusta?

292
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:52,840
Making it up that he and Carminha died

293
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:56,052
on that carriage
that fell off the cliff?

294
00:18:57,261 --> 00:19:02,016
Being the child of dead parents
beats being the child of criminals.

295
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:04,560
And what's more,

296
00:19:04,685 --> 00:19:06,979
at this point, that lie is now truth.

297
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:09,482
Yes, the entire town believes it.

298
00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:11,442
It's better that way.

299
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:14,862
Well, at least,

300
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:19,784
you now have a son,
which I could not give to you.

301
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:24,622
Who said I didn't like
having the daughter I had?

302
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:26,040
You're right.

303
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:28,459
I went too far.

304
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:35,883
Hit me. Hit me!

305
00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:37,510
Maybe I'll learn!

306
00:19:46,227 --> 00:19:49,230
Go rest, my old woman, go rest.

307
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:58,197
"After years living in sins
and in shadows,

308
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,242
Madam Beja and Jo�o Mendon�a
are finally getting married.

309
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:02,326
The question is:

310
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:05,204
Will God bless such a marriage?"

311
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:08,666
I thought you should know,
so I brought the newspaper.

312
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,044
I've made that brat swallow
what he wrote of me once.

313
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:13,087
And now?

314
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:14,797
I'll do better.

315
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:16,674
I'll ignore him.

316
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:19,051
Do you know why?

317
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:20,386
Because I won.

318
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:27,143
I've been sent cow shit on a platter,
attacked with tomatoes and eggs.

319
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:30,020
-Now they flatter me.
-Of course.

320
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:33,149
The church bell, the fountain...

321
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:38,237
Before Arax� was deemed a town,
all of those deeds were your doing.

322
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:41,365
-They know it.
-But I want more.

323
00:20:42,825 --> 00:20:45,286
I'll get married and things will change.

324
00:20:46,996 --> 00:20:50,833
Instead of rejection or compliments,
I will have respect.

325
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:56,422
I admire your tenacity,
Beja, but look at me.

326
00:20:58,132 --> 00:20:59,383
I have money,

327
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:03,053
I have culture, a husband and a son.

328
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:07,141
And even still, the people
of Arax� do not respect me.

329
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:10,728
To them, I'll always be a captive.

330
00:21:11,479 --> 00:21:12,563
And you,

331
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:14,273
a courtesan.

332
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:19,069
I believe in time,
and the changes that it brings.

333
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:23,449
Yesterday, you lived
in the shadows of your husband,

334
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:25,326
now you're a renowned painter.

335
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:30,164
I find inspiration in the courage
of women like you and Severina.

336
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,878
Today, I'm a courtesan.
Tomorrow, I could be anything!

337
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:39,173
What more could you want to be, Beja?

338
00:21:39,256 --> 00:21:40,466
A good mother.

339
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:44,637
I don't want my daughters
to be ashamed of me.

340
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:51,310
I always knew my mother was different
from the other women,

341
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:53,354
it was never a problem to me.

342
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,066
And it's not a problem to be myself.

343
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,945
What would society be
without courtesans?

344
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:09,495
But I can't make my daughters see
the world the way I see it.

345
00:22:10,412 --> 00:22:13,541
Or make the world see my daughters
the way I see them.

346
00:22:15,376 --> 00:22:17,670
And, for my love for them,

347
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:22,258
I'll make an effort to change
everything I believe must change.

348
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,262
It seems you have a plan.

349
00:22:29,098 --> 00:22:33,269
Severina suggested
I change the estate into a tea house.

350
00:22:33,978 --> 00:22:36,021
That's a wonderful idea!

351
00:22:36,647 --> 00:22:41,110
I will invite all the faithful women
for a petit comit�.

352
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:44,363
To celebrate my engagement.

353
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:50,578
-Get it?
-You are going to fold these women.

354
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:54,832
Only then will Arax� truly bow to me.

355
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:01,422
Did you sleep well?

356
00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:05,718
I couldn't sleep.

357
00:23:05,843 --> 00:23:07,261
Did something happen?

358
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:10,180
You came to bed
stinking of cheap perfume.

359
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:12,433
Go bathe.

360
00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:16,604
I'll ask them to change the bedsheets
so I'll be rid of this smell.

361
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:20,608
Jealousy? Now, Ang�lica? Please.

362
00:23:20,691 --> 00:23:21,775
My husband,

363
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:25,362
I don't care
how many women you lay with.

364
00:23:26,989 --> 00:23:30,743
As long as you don't come home
stinking like a whorehouse.

365
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:33,203
And stay away from Beja.

366
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:38,334
Going out?

367
00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:42,212
I don't owe you explanations.

368
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:46,175
But here's a hint: read the newspaper.

369
00:23:47,301 --> 00:23:49,762
It was good,
learning to read at the capital.

370
00:23:50,346 --> 00:23:56,060
That's the only way I could find out
that Beja and Jo�o are getting married.

371
00:24:00,648 --> 00:24:03,233
Seems like you heard
about Beja's marriage.

372
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:05,194
Beja is in the past, Valdo.

373
00:24:06,487 --> 00:24:08,781
But your daughter
is around here, grown up.

374
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:10,699
Don't you care about her?

375
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:15,120
When I left, Beja made it very clear
that I have no children.

376
00:24:15,496 --> 00:24:16,705
Beja was hurt.

377
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:19,416
The girl has your blood.

378
00:24:23,504 --> 00:24:26,382
Valdo, I wrote a few letters.

379
00:24:27,257 --> 00:24:30,678
I even asked about the girl,
and Beja never responded.

380
00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:34,264
I'm only a stranger to this girl.

381
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:36,809
It's better to leave it.

382
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:39,061
And Maria? Are you thinking...

383
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:41,981
She's being treated
very well at the convent.

384
00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:43,399
Be at ease.

385
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:50,280
Maria.

386
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:52,700
I missed you!

387
00:24:54,118 --> 00:24:55,452
How are you?

388
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:57,997
Maria?

389
00:24:58,747 --> 00:25:00,124
It's me.

390
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:02,126
Ang�lica, your sister.

391
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:05,129
I know who you are,
and everyone else in our family.

392
00:25:07,881 --> 00:25:09,967
A soulless family, capable of...

393
00:25:10,718 --> 00:25:13,178
abandoning me here for years.

394
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:15,305
-My God...
-No!

395
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:19,309
I'm so sorry...

396
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:23,731
You needed help, Maria.

397
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:27,443
And now, our mother needs help.

398
00:25:28,736 --> 00:25:30,362
And if you agree,

399
00:25:30,487 --> 00:25:34,324
I can have Ant�nio authorize your leave,

400
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:36,994
and you can come with me,
back to the farm.

401
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,340
No! No! I don't want to leave!

402
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,177
I'm not leaving. Leave me alone.

403
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:55,721
Get out of here, Ang�lica!

404
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:58,599
Leave me be! I don't want to go!

405
00:25:58,724 --> 00:25:59,933
I'm not going!

406
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:01,769
Leave me! Go away!

407
00:26:01,935 --> 00:26:04,188
-Maria, settle down!
-No! I told her!

408
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:06,231
-Stop.
-I told her I'll stay!

409
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:08,400
Go away, Ang�lica!

410
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:14,698
What are we doing here, grandma?

411
00:26:14,823 --> 00:26:16,950
Doing what your grandpa can't do!

412
00:26:19,328 --> 00:26:20,329
Mrs. Augusta?

413
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:25,501
-What happened?
-It's time my grandson became a man!

414
00:26:36,804 --> 00:26:37,805
Come.

415
00:26:38,639 --> 00:26:41,809
-No.
-Go, boy! Go!

416
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,120
Do you want to sit?

417
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:07,459
Relax.

418
00:27:09,002 --> 00:27:10,003
Come here.

419
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:14,424
The first time is difficult.

420
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,055
But then you'll like it.

421
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:22,057
I don't want to do this way.

422
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:27,563
-Don't you like girls?
-No, I do like them.

423
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:28,897
I do, but...

424
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,319
I just think that this,
my coming here...

425
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:37,197
it's very strange.

426
00:27:38,031 --> 00:27:39,032
Sorry.

427
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:42,202
I didn't mean to offend.

428
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:45,622
If every man thought the way you do,

429
00:27:46,206 --> 00:27:49,209
our lives would be much, much easier.

430
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:54,339
But, tell me,

431
00:27:54,923 --> 00:27:58,010
what do you think
is so strange, exactly?

432
00:27:58,177 --> 00:28:00,053
Well,

433
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:02,639
I wanted my first time to be...

434
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,100
with someone that I like.

435
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:08,604
I think that I am

436
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:10,355
a bit of a romantic.

437
00:28:11,106 --> 00:28:12,399
Like the poets.

438
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:16,361
I love poetry.

439
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,197
-Really?
-Yes!

440
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:22,492
-Do you know Gon�alves de Magalh�es?
-No.

441
00:28:23,076 --> 00:28:24,369
Tell me one.

442
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,372
"I love the flowers.

443
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:31,084
How gently they change,
that passions explain

444
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:33,045
what the heart feels intently.

445
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:37,257
I love the longing, the perfect love.

446
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:41,136
But the sigh - I carry it in my heart."

447
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,816
At long last!

448
00:28:57,027 --> 00:28:59,029
I thought you'd killed my grandson!

449
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:02,282
So?

450
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:03,700
Mrs. Augusta,

451
00:29:04,284 --> 00:29:07,579
your grandson is a real man
among very few.

452
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:09,581
Yes?

453
00:29:11,959 --> 00:29:14,419
What a surprise, my boy!

454
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:16,421
Come back whenever.

455
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:18,715
Hallelujah, my Lord!

456
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:24,137
Come. Let's go, quickly!
Before they see me here!

457
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,061
All the women have been invited.

458
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:32,688
Excellent.

459
00:29:33,063 --> 00:29:35,482
My petit comit�
will be quite something.

460
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:37,609
Do we need an invite, too?

461
00:29:37,734 --> 00:29:39,444
Of course not, you're coming with.

462
00:29:39,987 --> 00:29:43,156
-Your mother picked out jewelry for you.
-My goodness!

463
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,784
We'll get to wear your jewelry?

464
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:48,870
I can hardly believe it!

465
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:53,625
You'll be formerly introduced
to the society of Arax�.

466
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:58,046
-My princesses, my treasures.
-Your dolls.

467
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:02,467
I doubt the two of us can improve
your reputation in this town.

468
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:12,728
Enter.

469
00:30:15,772 --> 00:30:17,524
The kitchen bill? Leave it there.

470
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:19,943
I'm finishing up the estate's orders.

471
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:21,611
It's kitchen-related,

472
00:30:21,695 --> 00:30:23,947
but it's much nicer
than running numbers.

473
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:33,415
"Dried meat pa�oca,
sweet rice and pequi..."

474
00:30:33,915 --> 00:30:35,375
Wait, this is your writing!

475
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:38,920
You wrote a recipe book, Severina?

476
00:30:39,421 --> 00:30:41,923
All the recipes
my mother taught me are there.

477
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:45,510
My friend, this is so precious!

478
00:30:45,635 --> 00:30:47,679
I am always moved when I cook.

479
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,140
It's like my mother's with me.

480
00:30:50,265 --> 00:30:51,558
Let's leave all this here.

481
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:55,228
We're getting to work right now,
we have much to do!

482
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,108
You sent for me, son?

483
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:05,155
I went through father's clothes
to see if anything would fit me,

484
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:07,824
and I found this letter,

485
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:11,661
in the pocket of the suit
he wore when he died.

486
00:31:11,870 --> 00:31:12,871
What is it?

487
00:31:13,163 --> 00:31:18,251
It's from Our Lady
of the Rosary of Black Men,

488
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:22,839
denying him a place he was promised
because he married you.

489
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:25,717
-I was always an honest woman.
-But not your family!

490
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:27,302
My father

491
00:31:28,595 --> 00:31:32,849
lost his position because he married
the daughter of a trafficker of blacks!

492
00:31:33,433 --> 00:31:35,435
-Son.
-That's what the letter says!

493
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:39,189
It's no use denying it, mother.
There was an investigation.

494
00:31:39,314 --> 00:31:42,359
Your father wanted
to take that risk to marry me,

495
00:31:42,484 --> 00:31:44,361
he made that sacrifice out of love!

496
00:31:44,486 --> 00:31:47,489
What you call sacrifice,
I call hypocrisy.

497
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:52,160
My father decided to marry
the daughter of a criminal!

498
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:58,792
My grandfather was a man who treated
my people, the blacks, like merchandise!

499
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:04,381
And yet he didn't let me marry
the woman I chose.

500
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:08,468
Son, what your father did is done!
Why mull this over now?

501
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:11,471
This letter renders void

502
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:15,934
the promise he made me make him,
the night that he died.

503
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:19,062
What do you mean?
What are you going to do?

504
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:25,777
If your father,
my grandfather, was alive,

505
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:30,198
I'd report him to the law,

506
00:32:30,657 --> 00:32:32,784
which is what should have been done!

507
00:32:34,035 --> 00:32:35,120
But now,

508
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:38,498
adding all this information up,

509
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,919
I can see my father not only protected
his future father-in-law,

510
00:32:43,545 --> 00:32:45,964
but also helped him flee to Portugal.

511
00:32:47,674 --> 00:32:49,843
And all of it just to marry you.

512
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:53,054
-My son, all of that is in the past!
-Exactly.

513
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:54,514
In the past.

514
00:32:55,515 --> 00:32:57,684
That's where my promise is now.

515
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:58,977
Don't say that.

516
00:32:59,102 --> 00:33:01,396
-Respect his memory!
-What memory?

517
00:33:01,938 --> 00:33:04,566
Of a man who made me
abandon my own daughter?

518
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:06,818
After ruining
his reputation just for you?

519
00:33:08,403 --> 00:33:11,656
It's past the time I become
the father I should have been.

520
00:33:12,741 --> 00:33:13,742
Years ago.

521
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:24,711
What use is all this if no one comes?

522
00:33:25,045 --> 00:33:28,048
What use is the education
mom affords you if you're so rude?

523
00:33:28,298 --> 00:33:29,716
The issue is hypocrisy.

524
00:33:30,425 --> 00:33:33,053
She tries not to be herself,
and won't let us be ourselves.

525
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:35,722
And you only ever see the negatives.

526
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:37,891
Look around you.

527
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:40,685
Look at the mansion you live in!

528
00:33:42,604 --> 00:33:44,314
Look! See!

529
00:33:45,273 --> 00:33:46,483
Look how lovely you are!

530
00:33:47,192 --> 00:33:50,153
But your eyes are trained
to see only sadness.

531
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:52,280
-You didn't get that from me.
-Then who?

532
00:33:53,323 --> 00:33:54,699
My unknown father?

533
00:33:55,325 --> 00:33:59,162
I'd much rather know who he is
than to live in this luxury.

534
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:01,331
We know how you afford this.

535
00:34:01,456 --> 00:34:03,458
-Don't talk to her like that!
-I will!

536
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:04,918
Stop it. Enough!

537
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:06,920
Don't fight because of me!

538
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:12,634
Leave it, mom.

539
00:34:12,926 --> 00:34:14,177
I'll talk to her.

540
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:20,766
Teresa.

541
00:34:25,772 --> 00:34:28,233
I don't know what to do anymore.

542
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:30,944
She's very difficult.

543
00:34:31,402 --> 00:34:34,072
Teresa is too young, Beja.

544
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:37,409
But time will help you. She will mature.

545
00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:39,911
I doubt she'll give up
on knowing her father.

546
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:44,416
And that, Beja,
you'll have to figure out.

547
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:48,378
I'll never wear anything of hers!

548
00:34:48,503 --> 00:34:51,214
-Don't be a child, Teresa.
-You're a child.

549
00:34:51,505 --> 00:34:53,382
You pretend everything's normal

550
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:55,427
and she's like the others,
but she's not!

551
00:34:55,552 --> 00:34:59,806
She isn't! And that's great!
The other mothers look like dolls!

552
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:01,933
They're ladies, Joana.

553
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:05,937
-They're good women.
-And our mom isn't good?

554
00:35:06,021 --> 00:35:07,272
Good to a fault.

555
00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:09,983
Especially with men.

556
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:11,693
Why do you say that?

557
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,654
You really don't know
where she gets all this money?

558
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,824
-These jewels?
-I don't want to judge her.

559
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,659
But society does.

560
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:24,581
That's why we'll never be respected.
Not here, not anywhere else.

561
00:35:25,749 --> 00:35:28,585
When people hear our mother
lays with men for money,

562
00:35:28,668 --> 00:35:30,879
-they'll look at us funny.
-And so what?

563
00:35:31,421 --> 00:35:34,424
Don't wives lay with their husbands?
What's it matter?

564
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:41,306
Will someone come?

565
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:45,018
Cynical, ill-mannered!

566
00:35:45,894 --> 00:35:49,898
If these women think they can
disrespect me so, they're mistaken!

567
00:35:50,023 --> 00:35:52,359
You don't need their approval.

568
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:00,033
I think they're here.

569
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:01,368
Thank you.

570
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:20,929
What are you doing here?

571
00:36:22,472 --> 00:36:24,057
I came to meet my daughter.

572
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:26,351
She isn't here.

573
00:36:27,602 --> 00:36:29,062
-Go.
-Where is she?

574
00:36:30,313 --> 00:36:32,691
I have the right to see my daughter.

575
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:35,944
So now you have no doubts
you are her father?

576
00:36:36,319 --> 00:36:40,365
If you insist on stopping me,
I'll take her by force.

577
00:36:41,658 --> 00:36:43,368
I'll do what I have to.

578
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:46,496
I'm a man. I'm stronger.

579
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:49,249
-I'm her father.
-I'm her mother.

580
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,043
No one takes a child from their mother.

581
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:55,839
Then get ready, because I'll fight.

582
00:36:57,674 --> 00:37:01,261
I'll make you regret
treating me like this.

583
00:37:01,311 --> 00:37:05,861
