They're here.

What are you still doing here?

Put that there. Over there, quick.

Welcome to your new home.

My grandfather wanted to conquer the capital in my grandmother's heart by

flaunting a house that was an honest reflection of his power. A house we all

ended up calling the Big House on the Corner.

Ferula. Clara.

Did the trip wear you out? No.

What's Europe like?

Please, tell me you saw the Vatican.

All right. Let her see our house, and then we'll brief you.

Come here.

The Vatican was so great.

Everything you can see is imported.

Much too wasteful for my taste.

Good day. Thank you.

Wouldn't you say our house is just as grand as the European palaces we

The chest.

Are you here?

Gletta.

Are you feeling all right?

I'm feeling great.

Come. I have a surprise for you.

Do you like it?

I love it.

It's gorgeous. Thank you.

Look. I told you it was a bad idea. Spare me your comments. Take that thing

away.

Oh, Lana.

I'm sorry, my love.

I just wanted to please you.

I'm pregnant.

Are you sure, Clara?

Yes. I'm going to have a son.

I'm going to have a child.

My firstborn will bear my name, my love.

Esteban.

It's a girl.

She'll be called Blanca.

Congratulations,

little brother.

Tanta pena y soledad Ya no

cabe en esta casa

been here before remember so you'll get used to it quickly it's so hot here you

wouldn't believe it it's likely that you don't feel it because you're inside my

belly paddling around look what a

beautiful day you're doing so well

Hear that?

She seems to be losing touch with reality. What can I do, huh? Worry it,

Esteban.

The doctor said she was going to be born in October, and it's already November.

Oh, don't move now, Juanita.

Come on, my love.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hello.

Now. Ready?

Let's get in.

Get in. Hurry. Come on.

Let's go.

There is no good trip without a bit of adventure.

Adventure is what you follow. I have told you time and again that we need to

replace this.

He's a trash.

Come on. I couldn't get rid of this jewel.

Just like you could never bear to get rid of me.

I can't believe that our little Clarita will be a mom any moment now.

The passing of time is relentless, my love.

But here we are together.

Good morning.

Glada? What are you doing?

Tell Eliseo to ready the car.

No, but you can't go like this, especially not alone. Where do you want

My parents perished in an accident.

How'd you find out?

Please forgive me.

I couldn't tell you anything because of your condition.

It's fine.

It's time to go.

Gladys. Eager to protect her, Esteban tried to keep it a secret until after

birth. I'm coming with you.

Eliseo!

But his good intentions crashed against Gladys' certainty that her parents

couldn't rest in peace.

Glada, please, let's go back.

We're far from the house.

And in your condition.

Please, just keep going until I tell you to stop. Yes, ma 'am.

Just like my grandma had dreamt, the brakes of her father's car had given out

completely, making it crash into a truck loaded with construction materials.

Here, the car, the car. All right. Please, please stop.

Clara. Help her. Help her.

Clara. I'm fine.

Eliseo, help her.

Yes, of course.

Esteban's going to kill me.

No, Clara.

But, Clara, we're in the middle of nowhere.

Clara.

What are you doing?

Eliseo, do you mind looking over there and passing me the... Woman's head you

will find?

Down there? Yes.

After the crash, one of the iron plates came through the windshield, cleanly

decapitating my great -grandmother Nivea.

Her head shot out of the car, and everyone failed to find any trace of it.

What's happening?

We have to go back to the house. Come on.

Let me sell.

Come on, hurry.

Where is my brother with the doctor?

Did you tell him it's urgent?

Yes, of course.

Go get some hot water. Yeah.

Oh, more towels.

She's not ready yet.

Come here.

Come on.

Don't worry.

Breathe. Just breathe.

Relax. I'm here with you.

You can do it, Gladys.

Just breathe. You're doing great. You're going to be just fine. The doctor's

coming.

My granddaughter was too comfortable in there.

We're very proud of you, sweetie.

Go back, my love.

She really needs you.

My dear child, just keep in mind that we'll never leave you.

We'll look after you.

And thanks for bringing back my head.

Hello, Blanca.

I'm glad we can finally look each other in the eye.

Is everything all right?

Sorry we are late, Clara.

Meet your daughter.

I didn't know you were a midwife, Fadula.

Me neither.

It's a shame you couldn't get to meet your grandparents.

You would have loved them.

Is she all right? Yes, I think she is. I'm taking a good look. All right.

Everything seems normal.

Do you want to hold her?

No.

She's doing really well. Thank you.

I'll take another look at her later.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Where did you hide?

This thing's heavy.

You could have brought a medal instead.

It's not enough.

St. Anthony's great at finding things. And Clara misplaces everything.

Mm -hmm.

Excuse me.

Have you seen Blanca?

Didn't I tell you?

Blanquita!

There you are!

Look, Mom.

We're going to Lester's Maria's. What?

Are you planning to take all this?

Those godless lands like even the most basic comforts for Clara and for the

girl.

All we want is to see the countryside. Am I right, honey?

Yes, but I also want to see the animals. And why is my daughter so dirty?

Because she's going to go see the animals today and she's having a nice

Let's go see the animals.

You want to go because you've never been in a barn that smelled of feces.

That land is savage. Not for someone delicate like you.

Maybe Clara is much wilder than you think.

There's more.

Gentlemen, let's go. Follow me.

I don't know. I only have these shoes and the patron makes me use them.

Can you believe it?

So do you want to go barefoot?

Did you finish with the curtains?

Yes, Pancha. Would you like us to hang them? Yes. Go right now.

Ma, the Patron and his family are here.

I thought it was a circus.

Where were you, Estela? That night you weren't in bed.

I can tell you've been drinking again.

Eat some mint leaves and go help out.

Wait.

Make sure the Patron sees you.

Welcome, Patron. Why haven't you finished with the potato harvest?

We're tending to it, Patron. Don't worry.

Hey, be careful.

Careful.

Welcome, Patrona.

Oh, call me Clara.

Pedro Segundo, right?

Yes. Good, at last we meet.

My husband has a lot of respect for you and your father.

Is that your son?

Yes, Pedro Tercero.

Look, Blanca.

You have a friend your age.

I need help here.

Excuse me.

And you, aren't you helping?

Come out.

Warning. No, God, no, no, stop.

No, in here? More to the left, to the left.

No,

well, if you... Did you make

them yourselves?

Yes. Do you like them, senora?

It's such beautiful work.

That's Pancho's embroidery.

Pancho? Yes.

I wanted everything to be perfect for you. But if I'm not here, nothing works.

But everything is perfect, my love.

I didn't know they did embroidery, too.

Yes, they have a sewing workshop.

I'm so glad you brought us.

I want to know every inch of this land.

Conceived without sin.

I'm listening, my child.

Forgive me, Father. I'm tormented by the devil.

Remember, God's mercy is infinite, my child.

You can't imagine the possibilities that ball inside the mind of a lonely woman,

Father.

It's been years since I slept through the night.

I'm suffocating.

Pray.

Praying can help.

Help me. Not even prayer delivers me from impure thoughts, Father.

Tell me everything that troubles you, my child.

Everything you see on that side of the hill is pasture to feed the animals.

And from the hill to the other side...

That's all for export. Oh, nice.

How did the rain feel? Good.

Good? It's a lovely day.

Let's go to the river.

I want to get off the horse.

You want to get in the river?

I warn you, the water is cold.

Clara, what is it?

I just held it in.

I don't know. Maybe I'm pregnant again.

That's wonderful mood, right?

Stillen, can you hear the birds?

No.

You want me to go back?

Come on.

Let's go.

Careful. Come on.

Don't call me Don.

Call me Pedro, please.

Look.

With these little balls, you can make anything you can imagine. You see? Here,

Blackita. Pedro.

But first, you have to listen to it.

Look there.

Welcome,

Doña Clara.

Call me Clara.

Clara.

So, you feel at home?

Yes.

Grandma Nivea used to say that hydrangeas bring a lot of peace.

If you want them to be blue, you can place a copper coin near the roots.

Yes.

Is that a fact?

Wow, you're full of surprises, Perula.

Did you know that?

Yes. Oh, really? I didn't know it. Yes.

You know what? What? I'm going to look for a copper coin.

Come on, let's try it.

Yes. Is it ready?

Uh, not yet. Okay, then.

Do you need anything?

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't ask your name.

They call me Pancha.

Pleasure, Pancha.

I'm Clara.

You have the prettiest room in the house?

No, through no merit of my own.

Everything you have is delicate.

Your garments, your jewelry, your child.

Mine isn't delicate at all.

And they both come from the same seed.

I should go now. I'll just leave the curtain that you needed.

Enjoy your day.

Lara?

You can go on.

I need to walk alone for a while.

My grandmother's capacity to see the invisible connected her with the

pain those lands kept in their memory.

That's how I learned what had happened.

Before Pancha Garcia, her mother.

And before her mother, her grandmother.

They all had suffered the same fate.

Glada. Are you all right?

What happened?

Was it Esteban?

Did he hurt you?

Not me, no.

A maid that works here.

More than one.

Now?

No. Years ago, apparently.

Then I think it's best not to dig up the past, Glada. I just can't believe I

didn't see it sooner.

You wouldn't have married Esteban if you had seen what he was like.

But you're not able to change anything.

All men are flawed. They cannot restrain their urges.

My son won't turn out like that.

Amara.

You and my brother are united by God.

Nothing and no one can tear you apart.

Esteban loves you.

Maybe in the only way he's able to love.

But he loves you.

He's a better man since you entered his life.

I'm staying here with you forever.

You hear me?

I give you my word.

I need you with me, Ferula

Clara

Won't you come to sleep in our room?

What do you need?

I would like to talk to you. Please, just us. Speak freely.

Since we all share the same story, I was only the first.

I am truly sorry you all had to go through that.

I'd like to try... Senora, just let us finish our work.

Here we look after each other.

Have a good day.

Clara felt she had to do everything within her reach to bring about change.

She had learned from her mother that charity didn't work if justice didn't

exist.

Here you. Thank you, Pedro.

There's a lot of dust in here.

We're going to need a blackboard and desks.

In the meantime, we'll make do with whatever we have.

Don't worry, I'll personally make sure you have everything you need.

No, no, I'll get that.

Did you notice that our children are rather inseparable?

Yes.

I think their souls recognize each other.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Um, it's best if you don't ask me those things.

You must believe in something.

I believe that everything has its time, similar to seasons, because even if you

want to, you can't delay the winter.

You know what? Something else I believe is this project you're starting will

be very good for everyone here.

I'd like that, too.

Careful, I... I'll... Careful, don't... Hey, you're very strong.

In the following months, my grandmother spent most of the time at the new

school.

It was attended by almost all of the children on the farm.

In

the

evening, before the men came back from the fields, Ferula gathered all the

peasant women to pray.

She did it out of devotion, but above all, to spend more time with my grandma,

who took advantage of these meetings in order to repeat what she had learned

from her mother.

We women deserve to have the same right as anyone.

The right to make our own decisions.

Yeah, I know it might sound strange.

I'm not telling you to challenge your husband.

I just think we have to respect ourselves a bit more.

The women listened out of respect.

But those inflammatory words sounded like wild fantasy.

The only reason my grandmother agreed to go back to the big house on the corner

was because she was about to give birth.

What is it, Blanca, my love?

You don't want to leave, right?

No. I would like to see you too.

And Pedro?

Pedro can't come, my love.

But I promise you'll see him every summer, all right?

Come.

Clara, come on, get in.

The professor replacing me at the school will be here the upcoming week.

The children still need materials.

You can count on me. You have my word.

It's lovely to be here again.

You know what? Honestly, I even ended up missing you.

Such a long... And the princess.

And you,

my child.

How are you?

What's going on?

You've changed my child.

Come in.

You must be exhausted. Come on, please.

How are you? Good.

Let's have a bath before going to bed. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

I know things haven't been good between us.

I need to feel you close again, Clara.

We're having another child.

I helped with the boy this time, so he can bear my name.

His name will be Jaime.

Why would you choose a merchant's name for my son?

His name will be Esteban, like his father's.

Repeated names only cause confusion in the life diaries.

That's why his name is Jaime.

What's wrong with you?

What did I do, huh?

Why have you changed so much I've been very patient all these months, but not

that I won't budge on it You're able to move your ears when you're angry did you

know that What

happened

Are you all right, my dear?

Yes, I'm fine. It's all right.

Hello. Monsieur.

Welcome, sir.

Looking for something special?

There's something for every taste.

I want the best in the house.

I've come to like you, monsieur. Just a moment.

I'm happy to see you, Patron.

I heard you asked for the best in the house.

I told you we would meet again tonight.

Now I can finally pay you back, but don't.

Adjust it, because with inflation, your 50 pesos have lost some value.

You can keep it.

I prefer that you owe me a favor.

I've got a lot of ideas to modernize the Cristobal Colón.

How about building your own business?

Aspire to be a madame.

I'll front you the capital.

No thanks, Patron.

There's no advantage in replacing one capitalist with another.

What we should set up is a cooperative of sluts and fairies.

So the business can grow.

In regards to being a madame.

Well, fuck that.

See you soon, Patron.

You can take your time.

Are you all right?

Oh, Ferula, here.

Come.

There's plenty of space here.

I've never gotten used to Earthquake.

Pretty unique for this province.

I think it's a good thing to be unique.

Is that your heart that's beating so loud?

It is.

That I didn't do.

Clara? Are you awake?

What are you doing? No, no. Esteban! Don't you dare move from that bed.

Don't do this. Calm down.

Don't touch her.

Esteban! Don't you dare touch her.

Please don't. Nothing happens.

No.

Esteban, I'm going to... You poisoned my wife against me.

Get away from my family or I will kill you.

May you be cursed, Esteban.

What are you doing?

I hope your soul and your body shrivel up.

May you meet your end alone and broken.

That whore is dead to the family

My grandma tirelessly searched for her, using all the divination methods she

knew, as well as the more traditional ones, until she understood that you

find someone who doesn't want to be found.

In order to deal with her absence.

She ventured further inside of the world of dreams and apparitions, and it took

a cataclysm for her to finally come back to Earth.
