I can't sleep.

And I'm so cold.

Get into bed with your brother.

And I'm hungry. -There isn't anything.

I'm so hungry. -There isn't anything!

Jacob, are you asleep?

Move over.

Isn't Mum coming? -No.

Come along.

Do we have to go this far?

Not the small stuff. There are larger branches further on.

A cow.

A cow.

Dad. Jacob.

Dad.

Marie.

Dad.

Daddy.

Marie. -Jacob.

Stay where you are.

How do we get home? -Home? Marie, he abandoned us.

Abandoned? Why?

Because he couldn't handle it. Because he's a bastard.

And what about Mum?

Dear Jacob and Marie. Go to uncle Ramón in Spain.

It's warm there. He can help you out.

Love, Mum.

Is that all? -Yes. And the address.

Look. -What?

Light. -Where?

There.

Jacob, I can't go on.

You must keep going. -Just sit for a minute.

Marie, it's freezing. If we sit down we'll fall asleep. For all eternity.

I'm so tired. I'm so hungry.

Do you want to die? -No, something to eat.

Marie, for God's sake. Get a grip.

Help.

Donar.

Donar.

They killed Donar.

We saw a cow in the woods.

I told you to look in the forest.

The girl is going to sleep. I've got to talk to the boy.

My wife doesn't get it from me.

The girl's asleep.

You've got to go to bed with my wife.

What did you say?

You killed Donar. You owe me something.

Is he coming? -He's coming.

Jesus.

Right. Let's do it.

Jacob, what are you doing?

Marie, help me. -Get rid of the girl.

Why is this?

The boy is doing a good deed.

Goddammit! Why? I did it, didn't I?

Yes, too well. You've got her on heat. She wants it again tomorrow.

Jacob, you can't do this. He'll never survive it.

He's a peasant. -So?

They're strong.

I'm not tupping that witch again.

Jesus, Jacob. -Run!

Jesus.

Give it to me.

No, I'm going to throw it away. -What? Are you mad? Give it to me.

I don't want a revolver. -It's a pistol.

I don't want a pistol.

Jacob, we're going to find work tomorrow. We don't need a pistol.

A moped.

Isn't Coby around?

We don't know any Coby.

This is Coby's spot. -She's dead.

She was taken away yesterday.

Goddammit.

What are your wishes?

Bit of pulling off, bit of a blow job. -I can do that all right.

No messing about. -Fifty.

Twenty.

Put all your money on the bed.

My money's in my trouser pocket, and my trousers are at my ankles.

So?

So I'll have to bend over.

Slowly.

Is he dead?

Yes.

Where are we going? -Spain.

Marie.

Wow.

Jacob. Look over there.

See what we look like? We can't go to uncle Ramón like that.

Why not? He's our uncle. We can explain.

I'm not doing it. -We'll have to.

No problem to you, but to me it is. -Don't make things difficult.

Marie, please. -I don't want to look like this.

I want a bath and new clothes. -You can't. We haven't got anything.

Marie...

Bastard.

Marie, forget about it. -Let go of me.

Marie...

Give me your clothes.

I can't. -Do it. Off with your clothes.

Clothes off or I'll shoot. -I'm going to a funeral.

I don't care. Take your clothes off.

No.

Do you want to die?

Please, please. Don't. You can have them.

You count to fifty, and then you can get out. Understood?

Count. -One, two, three, four, five...

Get out. The house rule is ten minutes.

Ramón who?

Ramón Casero.

He is dead. -Dead?

Dead.

How long? -A year.

Are you aunt Pilar? -What?

Are you Ramón's wife? -Ramón's wife is dead as well.

Dead as well? -Dead as well.

Both dead? -Are you deaf?

How? -What how?

Died how? -An accident.

Ramón Casero was a jerk.

He was our uncle.

Uncle Jerk.

Can I have some money?

What are you going to do? -Buy a roll.

Want one as well? -No.

Señor.

Jacob, you found it.

My brother, Jacob.

Diego.

Your sister didn't come with me easily. I really had to my best.

If you've been worried, it's my fault.

Would you like a drink? -Yes, please.

Wine? -Yes, please.

Do sit down.

You were suddenly gone. -I left an address, didn't I?

Why didn't you wait? -We did. But you didn't turn up.

But now you're here.

To your health.

He is a surgeon.

And what are you?

I am nothing.

Luis. And Sofia.

Marie, come. Sit.

Jacob, your chair.

Very well. Let's sit down.

My sister, Teresa.

Gazpacho. This is all to go into the gazpacho.

In Holland it's cold and the soup is hot.

In Spain it's hot and the soup is cold.

Luis.

Jesus Christ.

What's that stuff called?

Carlos Primero.

How's your head? -Bad.

Carlos Primero. Friend and demon.

What's the idea?

What's the idea?

Do you mind if we speak Dutch for a moment?

Are you in love with that dickhead?

Is he suddenly a dickhead? -Yes. Strange, eh?

What a funny language you're speaking. Dickhead?

No. Dick-head. -Dickhead.

I... am... a... dick-head. -Stop it.

I am a dickhead.

Very good.

I have to go. If there's anything you need, ask Luis.

Halfwit.

Congratulations, child. -Thank you.

Good of you to come.

Bastard.

For you. -Thank you.

No, open it.

Thank you.

Do you know who you are marrying? -I certainly do.

She robbed me in a toilet. Threatened me with a gun.

You're confusing her with someone else. Just leave.

You bitch.

Filthy thief. Here.

Do you know this woman? -No.

Evil cow. -Piss off.

A streetwalker, that's what she is. A piece of shit.

A thief. A filthy thief.

People, you all know Dolores.

Imagines herself the black sheep of the family...

and therefore feels the need to stir up trouble.

Well, she did what she did. It can't be undone.

But I tell you:

Marie comes from a respectable Dutch family.

And I love her.

Come on, let's go. -What?

You heard me. I can't stand it. It makes me sick.

Let me go. -Marie, please.

Ouch.

Let's go. This is a mistake. We don't belong here.

We? You don't belong here. -What?

Go away if you don't like it.

I'm married now. I've got a husband.

A man?

He's a creep, Marie. He's no good.

Buzz off you. Go away.

Bugger off.

What's going on? What did he say?

Nothing. We were quarrelling. -What about?

Nothing special. -What about?

What about?

Things in our past.

I'm warning you.

She may be your sister, but she's my wife.

My wife.

You understand?

The boy is a burden.

Did you hear me? -Yes.

A burden.

Everything will turn out all right.

My way.

Still farther.

Aren't we there yet? -No.

Where are those damn rabbits?

Tired already?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Have you seen Jacob?

He went off with Luis. To hunt.

To hunt?

I didn't know. When was this arranged?

That's not my business.

I see. So it's rabbit for dinner tonight?

I'm a patient, Marie. I'm tired.

Jesus.

What kind of a hunter are you?

I'm sorry.

What's up with you? It's a dance, you jerk.

Amusement. To cheer you up.

That's no way to treat a woman.

I'm sorry.

God almighty. Are all the Dutch like that?

I'm going to bed.

How long are you going to wait?

What did you say?

How long are you going to wait?

What's behind that door?

Why don't you go and prettify yourself?

My visitors will be here in half an hour.

Marie, this is very important to me.

What I like to hunt the most, are birds.

A bird, floating in the sky, that seems to weigh nothing...

but with a single shot turns into something heavy...

that tumbles down to earth.

I find that beautiful.

And what I like best of all...

You're not allowed to listen.

Best of all I like seagulls.

They hang so motionless in the air. That's nice to shoot at.

Disgusting.

She's from Holland. They love animals over there.

I've heard they even do it with animals there.

Don Felipe.

Have you thought about my proposal?

Sofia, don't be silly.

Jacob, Marie's brother. Hello.

And this is Sofia. -We know Sofia.

Luis, something to drink.

Perhaps it's wise for Sofia to go to bed. She has to get up early.

Is Sofia not getting a glass?

Sofia is tired, Jacob.

A glass for Sofia.

To Spanish oppression.

Off to bed now, Sofia.

What is the problem? -We have guests, Jacob.

So? -Don't you wish to understand?

Jacob, can I go to bed now? -Why?

Please?

All right.

Good night. -Good night.

Sofia is one of the servants.

And the servants aren't supposed to mix with the guests?

Exactly.

I see a dog there. Is he allowed to mix with the guests?

He's not one of the servants. -To the Middle Ages.

Leave this room immediately.

Goddammit. You got shit up your ears? You drunken pig.

Get up and get out!

Luis?

Just an incident.

That's the Dutch for you.

The moment has come, don't you think?

The boy deserves it, Diego.

Help me. -I'll help you.

Good morning, señor Jacob.

Why has Sofia left?

She wanted to go back home. -Why?

You should go and see Marie. She's ill.

Ill? -A touch of flu.

Hey, Marie.

Marie, wake up.

Marie?

She's not waking up.

Luis.

You bastard.

Good morning, darling.

I feel funny. -You slept a long time.

Where is Jacob? -He has left.

How do you know? -His moped is gone.

I'll go and look in his room. -Wait.

Sit. You have to eat something.

Luis can go and look in his room.

I'll go and look myself.

Let Luis have a look.

I'll go. -Luis is going.

I'll go. -For God's sake, Marie. He's gone.

What's going on, Luis? -Nothing.

Where are you going?

To look in Sofia's room. -Señora, there's no one in there.

Don Diego.

Where is Jacob?

Everything's going well.

How do you feel?

So so.

Is he dead? -Yes.

What will you do with Marie?

Señora. -Luis, where is Jacob?

Where is Jacob? Tell me, please.

Just tell me if he is still alive.

Please, Luis.

Tell me, Luis.

She must die. -Be quiet.

Do you want to keep her locked up forever?

Put her to sleep peacefully.

Luis.

Jacob?

Jesus, Jacob.

Wake up, wake up. Wake up.

Wake up, Jacob. Wake up.

Quickly. We've got to get away.

Drive, please. Drive.

Hurry.

What did he do, Jacob?

What do you think he did?

Your husband... I only have one kidney left.

Because I tried to rescue you.

Jesus, Jacob...

'Jesus, Jacob.' That's a big help.

Faster, Jacob.

Faster.

Jacob?

Jacob, hey. Please.

Stop this.

Stop it.

Stop.

Say that it was a mistake, with that shit Diego.

Say that it was a mistake.

It was a mistake. -I can't hear you.

It was a mistake.

Marie.

Marie?

Come closer to me.

You mustn't act like that.

Lie down. Lie down.

Jesus, Jacob.

We must put alcohol on it. That disinfects. Stay where you are.

Oh, Jesus.

Jacob, this is going to hurt.

It's not going well.

Hush, now.

I'm going to die, Marie.

What makes you say that?

Just have a nice sleep.

I'm so thirsty.

white beans

Jacob.

You've got to eat something.

You've got flu.

Are you ill? -Yes.

Come along.

Shush.

I hear a car.

I can't hear anything.

Jacob, wake up. Wake up.

I want to leave. We're leaving.

Hey, calm down. What's happening?

He's dead, that's all. -Jacob, let's leave.

He died, that's all. -But how?

From old age. Or a disease.

Oh, God.

Jacob, you've got to find the donkey. -Now?

The donkey can look after itself. -Please?

There's nothing wrong. It's windy, that's all.

Would you please find him?

Marie, this could be a shock. -What?

I've seen Diego. -What?

He's on his way here. He's probably already here.

No, impossible. -It was him. With a gun.

We're leaving. -We can't.

You can't just go outside. Why do you think he's here?

How should I know? -He's coming to get his wife, got it?

Jacob, that's useless.

Diego.

What do you want?

Don't I get a kiss?

I want you to leave.

I will be leaving.

But with you.

Where is Jacob?

Marie.

Jacob.

Jacob.

Dammit.

Shush.

Under the veranda.

What a pair of idiots. Why keep a donkey in the house?

That's the Dutch for you.

Do you know what kind of pets they keep in Holland?

Monkeys, snakes, pigs.

They just lie in the living room, in front of the television.

Come on, move it.

Marie.

I want to go home.
