Damn, what a time.

At this rate...

- We're leaving, Dad! - Wait.

I still have a lot to do.

Don't stay there.

Wait for me in the office.

Don't you get tired of watching the same movie over and over again?

Hello.

Hello, Emilia.

It's so cold.

Go to the dining room. I have a delicious soup for you.

- But look at this girl. - Leave me alone.

You're going to catch a cold.

Let's go.

Is the food ready?

I have to leave immediately.

Yes, sir.

But with this weather...

Emilia, things don't work out on their own.

If you don't take care of yourself,

you have to be above everything else.

A letter from your brother.

And from the school.

Alicia.

Alicia!

What's wrong, Dad?

From the school. From the mother superior.

The study of personality, or whatever you call it.

Listen.

Good character.

A little reserved.

She must participate in a more active way.

The usual.

Smart application, but very distracted.

She doesn't pay attention in class.

She's late in several subjects...

...and will have to make an effort in the next few months...

...if she wants to save the course.

She can do it.

They can even reprimand you.

That's what we needed.

I will have to put you in a boarding school.

- Tell me, is that what you want? - No, Dad.

- Then you have to do your part. - I'll study.

You'll see that they won't suspend me.

Always on your side.

If Raquel hadn't abandoned us...

But I can't do more. Do you understand?

It's up to you.

Today it's your turn, Emelia.

For the eternal rest of the Lady.

Our Father, who art in heaven...

...hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come...

...thy will be done...

...on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts...

...as we forgive our debtors.

Do not let us fall into temptation.

But deliver us from all evil.

Amen.

Girl.

Here again?

If your father sees you, may God protect us.

I don't know what's going to happen.

And the blame is going to be on me.

But you're not going to tell him.

And how?

The remedy is worse than the disease.

Where was this?

Have you realized what time it is?

The Lord will be about to return.

Let's hurry.

He will realize that something has been changed.

But what are you doing here?

What a way to pass the dead hours.

Where was it?

Let me.

I know it.

See?

Do you want something, little girl?

When are you leaving?

In the afternoon, after school.

They must have brought them.

Well, I'm going.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

On the roof of Olofernes, Judas said to his heart:

Lord Omnipotent God,

return your eyes at this hour to the work of my hands

for the exaltation of Jerusalem,

because now is the time to come to the rescue of your heritage

and to execute my destiny for the crushing of the enemies

who rose against us.

And reaching the post that was next to the head of Olofernes,

he took out his sword from it,

and bringing it closer to his breast,

he took the hair from his head and said,

give me strength, Lord God of Israel,

at this hour and with all your strength,

he struck him in the neck and cut off his head.

Then he made his head roll from his breast

and removed the hair from his ears.

Very good, little one. We'll continue tomorrow.

Immaculada, you have done very well.

Goodbye, sister.

And then I saw them both,

the woman and the man,

kissing, a long kiss, very long.

My love, my love,

my poor, my desperate love,

I have waited for you for days and days,

and you have finally come.

Let's not worry about paradise or hell.

Since that day we saw each other often,

we saw each other in a rented room that Franz had found.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

Oh, Franz,

you let me leave like this.

No, love,

I knew you wouldn't leave.

Immaculada,

come here, please.

Don't cry, or you'll break.

But if she has nothing.

What do you know?

I told you that you shouldn't watch that movie.

Go with the little girl.

If I find you again without permission,

I'm going to put you in boarding school.

I'm going to talk to the Mother of God.

Don't you know it's a sin and you have to confess and ask for forgiveness?

You can't hit me.

You won't hit me anymore.

You won't hit me anymore.

Let me through, I'm his daughter.

He won't walk again, but he'll get better.

We have to operate immediately.

Is this your only relative?

I'm his daughter.

We live alone.

Can I see him?

Impossible, he is in the operating room

and it's much better not to see him now.

I want to take him home right away.

As soon as possible.

Miss, your father will recover soon.

It's a very delicate operation, understand?

It is not the time.

When can it be?

You won't punish me again.

Or hit me.

Never again.

Are you crazy?

You slept dressed, what is that?

I was very cold.

Okay.

Now hurry up.

It's a little late.

Tonight, by my hand,

our enemies have been defeated.

He took the head out of the alfonsa,

he showed it to them and said,

there is the head of the pearls,

Generalissimo of the Army of Azur,

and there is the mosquito net

under which I lay drunk.

The Lord gave me by the hand of a woman,

and the Lord lives who kept me

on the path I followed,

who seduced my face

for his perdition,

and he did not sin with me

that I was bewitched and confused.

Very well, Immaculada.

That's enough.

And so Judas saved his people,

killed the pagan king,

as our Virgin Mary kills sin,

in this image that you have

in front of your eyes.

Look closely,

see how sin is ugly and repugnant,

but Our Lady, with her purity,

defeats the monster.

If any of you sin,

you become a being

as terrible as this one.

How ugly, how monstrous

mortal sin can make you.

What are you doing standing there? Can't you talk?

I'm leaving.

That was the only thing you had to tell me.

You're going to pray, aren't you?

Of course, Father.

Don't be long

from school to home.

We'll have breakfast together.

In the same way, after the dinner, like the Caliph, thanking you again,

he passed it on to his disciples, saying:

Drink and drink, all of you, because you are the Caliph of my blood.

For all men, for the forgiveness of sins,

do this in commemoration of me.

A Hail Mary for the eternal rest of Mama.

God save you, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Blessed are you among all women.

And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Papa, tell me.

Is it true that Mama is always looking at us and is worried about what we do?

That's right, she still loves us, like before.

Even more, she is happy when we are happy.

She gets sad with our problems

and she always tries to help us.

She watches over you while you study, at recess.

And what if she forgets me?

The love of a mother is the strongest feeling on earth.

A mother never abandons her children.

Never?

Never.

No matter what she does?

Who?

If her daughter does something bad.

Something very bad.

Even so.

A mother suffers with the sins of her children.

She suffers a lot.

But she never abandons them.

That's why a good child has to behave well so as not to make her suffer.

Think about this when something bad happens to you.

That she is sad because of you.

Eat, it's getting cold.

I'm sure he never loved her.

All that drama of keeping the room as it was when she died.

Forbidden entrance.

He took care of the cleaning himself.

Worship of his memory.

Fear of the present.

And finding new responsibilities.

The perfect excuse to run away from the world and find yourself in his tiny problems.

And a way to repeat to myself every day that when I was born, she died.

Because of me.

That's how I kept away from him.

And now because he has no choice but to accept my help.

He never loved me either.

I didn't want to do it.

I didn't know what was going to happen.

This one please.

Ah, you want the photobooks.

These are much more expensive.

Four bolivares.

Six bolivares back.

Wait.

A gift from the house.

Get out! Get out of here! I didn't tell you to come in!

I'm bringing you the towel.

What do you want to dry yourself with?

I'm taking a bath, stupid.

She does have something.

And I'm here to find out now.

I don't think you're here to study your lessons.

I'm without clothes!

Holy Mary, if it were the first time I see you.

Well, I don't want you to see me! Get out!

Things like this girl! Dear God.

I don't want you to see me!

Alicia, Alicia, come with us!

Hurry up.

Come on, quickly.

Come on, hurry up!

If only the Mother of God could see us!

What do I care?

Who's going to believe you?

What are you doing?

Come on, silly wishes.

If you throw a stone and think of a wish,

with a lot of will and a lot of strength, it will come true.

Really? Let me try.

Alicia, come on, we're late!

Hello! Hello!

Silence! Silence, girls!

Good morning!

Okay, I'll leave you alone for a few minutes,

but don't make a fuss.

Immaculada will take care of the class.

And she'll take note of everything that goes wrong.

It's okay if you don't want to shut up,

it's worse for you.

It's okay if you don't want to shut up,

it's worse for you.

Religion is not a subject like Spanish,

language and math.

Religion is a life.

Copy what I'm going to write on the blackboard.

So, here's my homework.

I made a drawing that relates to this.

So, did you understand everything?

Yes!

Again, but lower.

Did you understand everything?

Yes!

Very good, my little ones.

So, you all have to do this homework very well.

If I don't do this homework, I'll give you a big zero.

So, you understood everything, right?

Yes!

Mother Charity will punish you after class,

and then we'll see if she'll make you sing.

Disgusting.

An insufferable girl,

spoiled, spoiled by everyone.

I hated her.

She was older than us and took advantage of us.

If I tell you this, it's so you can understand me a little.

To me, all these things as a child were very important.

Very.

Maybe I hated her too much.

Good, a little more.

With strength, with impulse in the leg.

Very good, Immaculada, very good.

You can stand up and rest.

With impulse.

And you, Alicia, what are you doing there still?

The leg well stretched.

How clumsy.

Very good.

With impulse in the legs.

Good, good.

Girls!

We're not done yet.

Get ready for relay.

The same couples as always.

But you, Immaculada,

you will run with Mercedita Chamorro.

Attention.

Get ready.

Go, go, go.

Teacher, come here.

Immaculada fell.

Teacher, teacher.

Let's see, Immaculada.

What do you have?

It hurts here.

Let's see, lie down.

It will be nothing.

You ran very well, Immaculada.

Where? Here?

Here.

Hello.

Hello, little one.

Your father has not arrived yet.

The turn to Immaculada Nuño.

She will run a one and a half to the front in position C.

Silence, please.

Dad.

What's wrong?

You had a bad dream, right?

Calm down.

Now you will sleep quietly. I will take care of you.

Dad.

Go back to your room, don't be silly.

- I'll take you. - Let me be here.

Don't talk nonsense.

Well, enough. Enough.

I don't like you to be like that.

You are no longer a child.

Can you imagine what your friends would say if they saw you?

I'm not sleepy, Dad.

You'll see how you sleep when I turn off the light.

- Good night. - No, Dad.

Go to sleep.

I know it's a bad thought.

No, father.

I did it to make it happen. And it happened.

Like dad's accident.

I didn't know your father had an accident. How sorry I am.

But you've got Immaculada. Waiting for her turn to confess.

- You don't want to believe me. - I believe you, little one.

Somehow you've done everything you say.

And we're going to have to talk a lot, you and me.

Because they are sins of thought.

Very ugly in a girl like you.

Who should have her imagination set on very different things.

But now the others are waiting.

You're going to come see me tomorrow afternoon at three.

Without fail, huh?

For now, pray three...

No, a complete rosary.

And apologize.

To the Virgin.

That she sees everything and understands everything.

A complete rosary.

You can go.

And don't forget.

Tomorrow.

Beyond your face.

I saw something purer and deeper.

Where it reflected me.

That girl who saw in a dimension.

That understood the time.

That I had to live.

All those years.

The good and the bad.

This time I won.

Dad, it's not true what you told me.

About what?

What is not true?

That they never leave their children.

My mother has forgotten about me.

When we get married, we'll have a pool like this one.

Really? It'll be great.

Is Victoria right?

I'm going to look for a chimera, an impossible one.

Why do you react like that?

I only offer you a father for your son.

What did you say?

Yes, Alicia. I mean it.

Accept me as your husband.

I like you.

And you think you can buy what you like.

I'm worth very little.

But I don't sell myself.

I'm sorry, Fernando.

What's happening to us, my love?

We look at each other indifferently.

And this love that we had until yesterday...

...today it tasted like nothing.

Forgetting you in July...

...falling in love again...

...it's not possible anymore.

I'm the happiest woman in the world.

I'm the luckiest man.

I'm lucky because you love me.

Don't you want to play?

No.

I'm thinking.

Good.

To sit down and rest from time to time is good.

But thinking too much can be bad.

Come.

Come with me.

A good girl like you...

...must have fun with her friends.

And you have very good friends.

Ana.

Isabel.

Immaculada.

Sometimes you can hurt unintentionally...

...even the people you love the most.

Maybe one of your friends...

...has offended you without knowing it.

But I can assure you...

...that all your classmates love you very much.

Tell me.

Come on. Like a friend.

I'm not going to tell anyone.

Who has offended you?

No one.

I did it.

It's bad to think too much.

You imagine things...

...and that's not good.

Look.

If your father or a friend do something wrong...

...and you don't like it...

...it's much better to vent...

...and forgive.

Forgive.

That way you'll be happy...

...and you'll make everyone around you happy.

But if you keep...

...your resentment deep inside...

...and you start turning it around...

...you'll start having...

...the most horrible ideas.

Ideas that should never cross...

...the imagination of a good girl like you.

And God will be very sad.

And your father will be very sad.

And you.

And me too.

You too?

Yes, of course.

Because you're like a daughter to me.

You're all like my daughters.

And the only happy one...

...the only cheerful one...

...the only one who benefits from all this...

...do you know who it is?

- The devil. - Exactly.

And you don't want to give him that satisfaction?

Very well.

That's how I like it.

And now come with me to the chapel.

We're going to pray together...

...so that the Blessed Virgin...

...and our Lord Jesus Christ can help you overcome any thought.

Where did you leave the dictionary?

Alicia.

Dad?

Where did you leave the dictionary?

In the fireplace.

Can't you see it?

Father who art in heaven...

...hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

Do not let us fall into temptation,

but deliver us from all evil.

Amen.

I bring you your water with sugar.

Did I scare you?

And also a little of the leftover dessert that you like so much.

And then, go to sleep.

You've already studied a lot.

And it's bad for the eyes.

Poor thing.

And so...

Well...

Shall I turn off the light?

Yes.

Go to sleep right away.

Sleep well.

See you tomorrow, my little one.

I'm going to sleep.

Dad?

- What are you doing? - Those flowers. I like them.

Up there.

See?

No, no. There!

I'll go.

Sit down and wait.

Can I go?

Don't bother.

That's how I got away from him.

And now he has no choice but to accept my help.

He has never loved me either.

All this is a little morbid.

- To my liking. - I don't know.

Before, I didn't allow anyone to enter.

But since the accident, I had to take care of everything myself.

In that house.

With poor Emilia, so old.

I don't know how I have been able to bear it.

Stop! Stop! Stop talking!

In front of this portrait, I did my high school.

See?

This is me.

With my notebooks, my pencils,

and my first novels.

I read them in secret.

I always hid them under the books of...

Geography or History.

Poor dad.

Always involved in his world, he never found out anything.

And every day is worse.

Don't you have to pick him up?

Later.

Since he is disabled, he spends hours there.

Very still, in front of the screen.

Annoying everyone.

For silly things.

Your mother?

How could you miss her?

No.

She wasn't dead to me.

She was always with me.

Until...

The clothes.

Just like she left them.

As if she were still with us.

A little out of fashion.

For a living person.

As soon as I could, I moved out.

She brought me to her house,

and I took care of her.

I had to put it there.

My dad hates television.

If it were for him...

Shut up, stupid!

He'll find out everything!

I've never wanted to talk about this.

But it's different with you.

What, darling?

Immaculada Anuño.

- Immaculada what? - Immaculada Anuño.

An insufferable girl,

spoiled, spoiled by everyone.

I hated her.

You don't have to remember anything. Nothing!

She never came to visit me again.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Explain yourself.

Speak clearly.

I don't know.

It started...

I couldn't...

Stop it.

Shut up!

I could tell dad.

I could tell dad.

I'll do it with you too!

What are you doing?

No, not that!

I can't do that!

I can't do that!

It's the devil.

You cheated on me, let me go.

You cheated on me!

Let me go!

Alicia!

Alicia!

It can't be!

God.

Why?

Alicia!
