-Aren't you gonna help me? -How?

-Dumbass! -What do you need my help for?

Isn't that the White Horse?

That one?

No.

You're getting a unibrow. So ugly!

You look pretty.

Really.

Where did you get all this from?

Don't know. It was already here.

Look!

-Will this fit you? -Get it off me!

Can you picture Elena with this?

Come on, girl. Put it on!

You got me all dirty!

What's that?

Damn! What a jet!

Fuck! She saw me.

They're gonna hear us.

Get down from there!

It's full of holes there!

It can collapse at any time! Get down!

What are you doing here?

Where are you from?

From Santiago. And you?

From around here.

How long are you staying?

We're just collecting samples from around here.

We're biologists.

Don't go telling your mom, or they'll cut us our vacation.

-You're the snitch here. -Stop it!

Mom!

-Looking good. -Me? Nah.

-What's this? -Sweet potato.

-The only thing I could find. -It's good for the hair.

What's this? Where did it come from?

Where do you think?

From the sea.

Are you hungry?

Here, let me show you. No need to scale this one, kid.

Look.

First, you remove the fin.

Then you remove this.

And then you cut it right here.

See?

AUGUST

Carli!

-Bye! -Bye!

See you!

Dumbass!

Take that shit off, man.

Fuck, Mandy! Stop it.

You're gonna wash that!

Don't be such a cry baby. Look...

Take mine if you want. You don't need it anyway.

How is it there?

There's a boardwalk too, but with bigger ships.

The ones here are shit.

Look. This one's good for playing ball.

Feel the weight.

Strikeout!

Who's the batter that's always given out?

-Who is it? -You! Because you suck!

But I get to go somewhere on holidays!

-I don't wanna go anywhere. -Cut the crap!

Here.

You saw the teacher crying at school?

They say her husband disappeared. He left and never came back.

Which teacher?

The one in the courtyard.

My dad says he left.

He went off in a boat and could be in Puerto Rico now.

Man, you always know everything.

Her husband was a fisherman. He went out to sea,

and waited for the ferry from Miami to Puerto Rico.

Maybe.

My grandmother says he left her for another woman.

And now she's half-crazy.

She even goes out naked.

Hey, I swear!

I'd listen to him. Knowing him, he already has a picture of her.

Me?

-I don't do that kind of thing. -So you say.

Listen... I got into Art School.

Fuck! Now what?

The incident took place in the early hours of July 13th.

A tugboat was found seven miles north of the Bay of Havana.

It appears it belonged to a shipowner...

I'm going with Elena.

That's the long way home.

He goes off with his girlfriend and leaves us hanging.

Girlfriend? Let him go wherever he wants.

Give us a hug. We won't see each other till school begins.

Oh, males in heat.

-Come on. Let us squeeze you too. -Not a chance!

-Ignore them. They're jealous! -"Not a chance", she says.

Come on!

In the early hours of the morning, poor navigation and strength of tides

meant that only 31 people could be saved.

You fell asleep. I'm gonna take the lamp, OK?

Yeah, sure.

This unfortunate incident proves, once again,

how immoral individuals put at risk the lives of so many people,

including women and children,

who are trying to migrate illegally to another country.

-How was it? -Good, normal.

People said goodbye.

Wake her up. Get her to eat it all up.

Why is it so dark?

We're saving, Grandma.

-Did you shower already? -Not yet.

Want me to give you a bath?

Later.

We also counted with international collaboration

coordinated by the PAHO and the WHO.

From December onwards,

just a few sporadic cases have been reported.

This year, only 500 cases have been reported.

These cases were principally...

The affected patients worked in the tobacco industry,

and went to get their eyes tested

because they suffered from lateral visual impairment,

color vision deficiency and subacute inflammation.

Considering these symptoms,

patients were diagnosed with a form of visual impairment.

43.3% of presented cases suffered from peripheral neuropathy.

During the second semester of 1992,

more cases were reported in other provinces of the country.

The following year,

an increase in the number of cases

was reported during the first semester.

Only 500 cases have been reported so far.

Our commander in chief, Fidel Castro will attend the event.

You really thought we had nothing else for you?

Your end of school gift!

Go on.

-What is it? -Open it!

Try them on.

Go on. Try them on.

It's so hot!

I think they're a bit tight.

No, that's your size.

It fits you perfectly.

They taste good?

I don't know. My dad has them for show.

My uncle brought one.

A couple of months ago.

Their meat is white.

You know, like chicken.

Dad says the ones from here have the best meat.

-They get fat faster... -Hold on. Who's that?

Damn!

Gonna move here.

My neighbor's, like, 100. Nothing to see there.

-Will she be there now? -If you don't know...

Told you she gets naked.

Look. Her hand is in her pussy.

Carlitos...

Your grandpa's in the room.

He says he's hungry.

Wake up, Carlitos.

Come on!

He says he's starving to death here.

He won't let me sleep.

Come on.

Come.

Come with me. Let's go.

Oh, grandma...

He always disappears when things get heavy.

No, Mandy, No.

What's up?

Just hanging out.

-I dreamed about that teacher. -Really?

-It was more of a nightmare. -You wish!

Wait for me.

Look at this.

Gimme your hand.

Your hand's cold.

Are you scared of me?

Shall we go?

Clear the area.

Go on!

What happened?

Nothing. Hop on.

Hop on.

No, I'll walk.

-Why? -I'm meeting Mandy.

OK, but don't stay around here. Go back to town.

The town exit is that way.

Get them on the bus.

Clear the area, comrades. There's nothing to see here.

Up!

Water!

-Shower first, though. -Why?

Because I say so.

I'm dying of thirst!

Hand me that glass.

Here, Grandma.

Aren't you hot?

I'm burning up.

-We'll go to the beach tomorrow. -Really?

-Not again! -For fuck's sake!

Fuck.

What if someone out there steals my stuff?

If they haven't done it by now, they won't.

Grandma...

Did you have a boyfriend before Grandpa?

Half the town was after me.

My first boyfriend was a tall man.

He was like two meters tall. He looked like a tree.

But he was a brute.

He always wanted to stick it in me without any foreplay.

As if I was a mare!

But your grandfather...

He used to go down on me for a long time

before he put it in me.

His wasn't that big, but he sure knew how to use it.

You understand?

Did grandpa have a small dick?

Grandpa?

He was a saint.

Elena!

-Yes? -Let's go for a walk. Come on.

And Mandy?

Wait.

Mom, I'm going out.

Don't come back too late, sweetie.

THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED

What's up? Tell me something.

I have nothing to say.

I went out last night.

-Why didn't you come to see me? -I don't know.

I see.

Not here. My mom will find out.

Come on.

Let's get you something to eat, grandma.

Come on.

You don't like the food?

I don't think it's the light switch.

Careful.

Hey!

Hold this for your dad.

Hold this.

Turn it on.

-That it? -Yeah.

Bye.

Give me that, Carli!

Hold this.

Hold this.

Thank you.

She went to Mandy's.

Thank you.

Mandy!

Fed by people's desire to get to the United States,

acts of vandalism were committed today in the city of Havana.

The brave presence of our commander in chief,

Fidel Castro Ruz,

cut short these unpleasant events

encouraged by the anti-Cuban mob.

If the United States...

don't take quick and efficient measures for...

Go get the dishes.

...to stop encouraging illegal departures from our country.

Then, we will be forced to instruct our Border Guard not to block...

Don't take it out on him.

...any vessel trying to leave Cuba.

Maria, open up.

They're waiting for us! Come on!

Shit! Don't do this to me.

Come on! The raft is arranged.

Maria, open up now!

What's wrong with you?

Open up!

Dammit! What is it?

Come on. It's past 10 o'clock.

Come on.

SOCIALISM OR DEATH

HOMELAND OR DEATH, WE SHALL OVERCOME

Thinking about your girlfriend?

I don't have a girlfriend.

What about Elena?

You don't like her?

Hurry up. It's for today.

And your school stuff?

-Forgetting something? -Don't know.

How can you not?

You can't go about in life with no responsibilities whatsoever.

Look after your things. You're old enough now.

Dammit! Come over here. Fucking listen to me.

You and your mom are all I have in this life.

But everything I do...

Listen to me.

Everything I do is for your own good.

You understand that?

Ramon!

Look at that, bro.

Hurry up.

Hurry up. Come on!

Let's row, row, row...

Let's row, row, row

Our Lady of Regla will protect us

Let's row, row, row

Let's row, row, row

Let's row, row, row

Our Lady of Regla will protect us

Our Havana correspondent is reporting from there.

Ramshackle boats are being hastily put together.

Many are barely buoyant.

In most cases, they sink as soon as they touch the water.

The ones that resist this initial test

risk falling apart in the harsh open water.

But in Havana, Cubans desperately trying to flee a regime

of hunger, blackouts, shortage of medicines and basic goods,

prefer to die instead of living under Castro's tyranny.

President Bill Clinton ordered the Navy

to establish a humanitarian corridor around the island

with the aim of helping to rescue Cubans

trying to reach the shores of Florida.

Lately, the amount of people trying to reach the United States

has grown exponentially.

The reality of this situation...

Did you lock up the house?

FROM YOUR BELOVED GRANDSON

Did you see how they left?

Wait a second.

You're Juan Carlos' son, right?

We work with him.

Anything you need, just let us know.

-So? -They went fishing, as usual.

And they took their whole family with them.

And nobody knew?

They said they were going to a party.

Here.

Here.

The hammer first.

Keep it in your hand.

Hold it firmly.

Find a comfortable position. Go ahead.

Grab the hammer. Grab the hammer, Carlitos.

Place it in the hole.

That's not the one I pointed at. The one next to it.

Find the hole. Go on.

Hard.

Harder.

Gimme that.

Hold it there.

Hold it!

What's wrong?

I couldn't say goodbye.

Sometimes you just can't.

Hold tight.

Quiet. People are sleeping.

Pick it up.

Easy, man. Slow down.

Careful with that.

Go ahead, lift it.

What's all that?

We need the money.

Don't move.

I think it fits you.

It's good now.

-Fuck! -I told you, man.

I told you!

Where will we find another one?

Come on in.

Have a seat.

-How's your family? -Fine.

-Would you like some water? -No, thank you.

Where's Carlos?

-You want me to go get him? -Yes.

Elena came to see you.

Tell her I'm not home.

Why's that?

I'll tell her that you're asleep.

You'll have to come some other time. He's asleep.

All right, then.

-Tell him to come by my house. -Don't worry. I'll tell him.

Please, it's important.

I haven't received permission to sell yet.

-How long do we have to wait? -Go and complain at the office.

They sent us here!

Tell us how it works. When will the groceries be available?

I don't know!

How can you not know?

How's it possible that you don't know?

I'm not the boss.

It's happened before. Come on!

Be careful with that arm!

What's wrong with you?

You hit me in the eye!

Don't you dare touch me!

Ladies!

Now you show up?

Why did you refuse to see her?

Now what?

I don't know.

Did they leave in a raft?

Her grandpa has one of those large boats that go into the Gulf.

The rest of the family came and they left.

So?

You and Elena?

Nothing ever happened between us.

I knew you were into her.

Yes, but you liked her.

You didn't see a thing.

A strong swell is expected in the north and south coasts,

and there's a warning in place for small vessels.

Winds will reach speeds of 25-40km/h.

Especially, close to the shore area.

Maria!

Minimum temperatures at dawn

will be between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius.

Hand me the lamp.

Here it is.

Everything will be OK.

Take care.

Pick that up.

Where's Dad?

He said he was taking care of some stuff.

When is he back?

Don't know. He's never very clear.

You think I can't figure things out?

Here.

-Did you eat already? -No, not hungry.

-Here. -No, you eat it.

-Take it. -I said no. You eat it.

We have updated the list of Cuban refugees

at the center in the Guantanamo Naval Base.

The report also lists the people picked up in boats at sea,

or those who got to the United States and authorities are taking them...

We're one player short!

Yours, Carli!

Go on, go on.

It's yours, man.

You suck!

-Carlitos. -Pick it up, dude.

Such a wuss!

Did you leave the house unattended?

The rabbits were hungry.

-I'll get going. -Wait for me.

-See ya. -Take care, man.

Game's over. Everyone, go home!

Let me see.

They won't eat this one.

Let's see. This one, they will.

-What about this one? -Yeah, they'll eat that.

But not these.

-But they're so similar. -Yeah.

-Ortega, Michael. -Mom?

We can sell my shoes if you want.

I don't like them anyway.

Stop it now.

Carli!

-Carlos! -Someone's looking for you.

What's up?

What are you up to?

Not much.

There's a party at Elizabeth's tomorrow.

He's Isabel's boyfriend.

But they won't let her go unless Marian goes.

What does that have to do with me?

Marian won't go unless you do.

I don't wanna go.

Come on. Do me a favor, man.

Come on, man.

-Come with us. -Come!

Hand me that box.

Give me a hand. Help me get her in, please.

I'm giving you half a sack of sugar, the two cases of rum you asked for,

and four water containers.

Drink plenty of water to stay well hydrated.

Honey, you're taking all of them?

Let me handle this, baby, please.

Go, go.

Give it to me.

I'm coming, too.

Careful, honey.

-How old are you, kid? -Twenty.

Is that right?

Come on, get in.

Come on, kiddo.

-Help me get off. -Cari, give me that.

Careful, honey.

Come on. Let's get all the things out.

Help me take the stuff down, kiddo.

The women carry the light stuff.

Get down at the front.

-Hand me those planks. -I'll take that.

Pick up the stuff and follow me.

We have to take the things there.

Be careful with the Styrofoam. It's important!

Take this and put it over there.

-Let's pull this out. -Come on. Pull!

Easy, easy.

There.

-Let's go. -It's heavy!

Careful there.

Easy. Slow down. You're pushing too hard. Wait!

Easy, there.

Lift that side, boy.

Careful with those rocks.

Cover that. Cover the gaps. There can't be any gaps.

Do you understand?

Bring more planks.

Lift the tank.

Hold it.

Don't know which knot to make.

Give it to me.

Hand me that rope.

More rum, anyone?

-Give it to me. -Be careful with that.

Put that over there.

Give me the bottle.

And the lid.

This won't fit.

-Gimme! -Leave it.

Come on. That's it. Easy.

It goes over that.

Hold it.

Come on.

Give it to me.

Where should I tie it?

Tie it up here. Look.

There.

Also on this side, if you can.

Put this one there.

What's with you?

Are you looking at him?

Your girl was looking at me!

Enough!

I'll beat the crap out of you!

-What the fuck! -You'll both get killed!

You son of a bitch!

-You're crazy! -I'll fuck you up!

What the fuck?

Sit down.

You do as I say, fuck!

What's wrong with you? You're an ass.

-You're drunk, faggot! Fuck you! -Fuck you, too!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Shut the fuck up!

What's wrong with you?

What are you gonna do?

Shut the fuck up already!

What a fucking drunk!

You want me to leave you here, you faggots?

I'm in charge here!

Instead of being assholes,

you should just come here and help me with the sail.

You live near where we picked you up?

-I'm not leaving with these people. -Come on now.

-We're gonna die! -Enough of this.

-We're gonna die! -Caridad!

Come on, please.

Come on, please. Listen to me.

Everything I'm doing is for you.

Listen to me, please.

-Daddy? -What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with him?

Behave, kiddo, behave.

Behave, kid!

What was that?

I thought it was my dad.

You're just drunk.

Come and eat something.

Drink some more. Aren't you cold?

Your skin is so soft.

You're very handsome.

I'm scared.

CUBA, HAPPY LIKE THE SUN

Cespedes, Maria Julia.

Where were you?

I've been looking for you the whole day all over this beach.

Who were you with?

I can't take this anymore.

What are you gonna do?

When?

When summer break is over.
