"I should thank you both together." "Thanks for the gift." "It's nothing, daughter." "You're worth far more." "You're so pretty." "I think you are overdoing it a little with the rings, the engagement, the party..." "How are you, my pretty Fresia?" "Already got your hand on the flag?" "What are you doing you funny one?" "I'm here opening the gates." " The boss and his family are coming." " All of them?" "Just them with the bride and groom." " Tomorrow the big party begins?" " Of course." "When are you getting the road repaired?" "You'll die before it's done." "But Isabel, that sounds like a death wish." " How are you, Sir?" " Hello José." " Hello dear Fresia!" " Hello my child!" " We left the baskets there last time." " Where, Sir?" " Macarena!" " Here I am, what?" " Help me to move the furniture, please." " No, how boring!" " I want to rest." " Why are you tired, dear?" "You should be organizing all this." "You invited these guests." "Not me." "It's your thing." "Sorry, dear, but it's family." "We only invited a couple of friends." "Look, Alvaro was OK with all this, but..." "It's one thing to help Fresia in the kitchen, but moving furniture?" "Macarena, you never help me." "You never do anything around the house." "You criticize the decorations, the food... everything!" "Mom, don't play the victim." "I'm not going to help you." "Just relax, take it easy." " Macarena, you know what?" " What?" "You're getting on my nerves!" "Is everything okay?" "Shall we move the furniture?" "Let's do it." "I think I hear cars coming." "Let's go meet them now!" "Well." "What do you want to move?" "What's wrong?" "Maca, hold your horses!" "You're too excited!" "Let's listen to some music and relax a little." " But Maca!" " Let me turn on the radio." " Take everything off." " No." "Stop shouting, I can't hear the music." "Take these off so you can see me better." " Welcome, come in." " Good evening." "Wow!" "How stubborn." " Here we are." " Please, come in!" " What a wonderful fire!" " Thanks very much." " Are you settled in the room?" " Everything's great, thank you." " The children are still resting?" " Seems that way." "I checked on them." "The door's shut, so they must be sleeping." "They're right at home." "Well, meanwhile, let's have a drink." "Let's toast this beautiful occasion that will join our families together." "And for the anniversary of our country." "To your health!" "Thank you for your gesture that comes on a day so symbolic for all of us." "Though it's last minute, we want to help build the foundation for the future family of Macarena, Alvaro and all of their descendants." "A united, harmonious family base demonstrating that our institutions work and the most important of them is the family." "Bullshit!" "Bullshit!" "The only family, the grand family, is the military family." "Since it's never divided and unites us with its glories and victories like "My General"." "All other Chileans are crap!" "A bunch of spineless assholes!" "Father, you're tired." "Let's get you inside." " But, why?" "I don't want to." " Yes, you must." "In my family we've got much worse." "That's a Chilean family for you." "Hey, it's not opening." "We're sleeping." " Hello." " Hello." " Hello." " Hello." "Macarena?" "It's been a long time, little sister!" "How do you know who I am?" "Father insisted I come to see you again." "Since I've only seen you once in my life," "I didn't know you had children." " Be quiet." " Please, Mom!" "Hello." " Daddy!" " Please." "Manuel Eduardo." "The bride?" "Yes." "So pretty." "What are you doing with yourself?" "I study journalism." "Journalism!" "Incredible!" "Like me, a journalist." "Why do you want to be a journalist?" "Well, because..." "I like to ask questions like you." "I am interested in other people, like you." "Excuse me." "Good bye." "I think she's right." "Please give me the ball." "Forget the ball!" "Fresia." "She is here to help you." "You'll share the kitchen and your bedroom." "You'll share the housekeeping." "Clean all rooms, inside and out because we're having a two day party." "For the barbecue, the men will grill the meat." "Stay on your toes because there are not enough dishes to go around." "If you need help, call José." "We'll help you with some salads and desserts." "Any questions?" "Boss, are we getting paid for the extra work?" "Because even though I'll have help from Maruca." "It's Maria Antonieta, but I go by Maruca." " Fresia, we always take care of you." " Always?" " Not always, Boss." " Fresia, please." "For now, prepare some salads and sandwiches." "The guests are settled." "Breakfast tomorrow will be more difficult." "Well, I'm going." "You're not Chilean." "No, I'm Peruvian." "I am Mapuche." "We're in the same situation." "You surprise me by... the way you express things." "This is the only way to speak to the bosses." "With dignity." "You're right." "What do you think about Alvaro's parents?" "Nice, right?" "They're fine." "Anyway, it's Macarena who must get along with them." "Macarena must get along with Alvaro." "You know... you were a bit harsh with the girls in the kitchen." "Look who's talking." "You're always giving orders." "Stay out of the kitchen." "This is not about the kitchen." "Why did you invite Lorena?" "Because she asked me to." "And she is my daughter." "She wants to be part of the family." "She's been awful to us." "She called Macarena a bastard." " She never said that." " Yes, she did." "She did!" "Enough, Isa." "Lorena is my daughter." "She's part of my legitimate past." "Be careful with your past..." "It could be very dangerous." "And be careful with yours." "Isa." "Let's get through the festivities peacefully." " Hello!" " Hello, darling." " Fresita." " Hello, darling." "I want some breakfast, but you're already on lunch." "Well, I'll make you something." " For Alvaro, too, please." " OK." " Hello." " This is Maruca." "Good morning." "Who'd she come with?" "With the children's mother." "She says she's your sister." "Stepsister!" "I hardly know her." " And you, how do you stand her?" " It's my job, Miss." "Would you like a "surtidito"?" " A what?" " "Surtidito" is a fruit cocktail." "Sounds good." "Yes, please." "But, call me Macarena." "I don't like "Miss"." "We've helped those brothers who were victims of human rights violations." "Today, our Holy Church with the same passion asks for reconciliation and pardon." "Why's he got a foreign accent?" "Life happens." "My brother was born in Peru." "In Peru?" "And we ask you, Lord, to protect us from the sins and errors of Chileans." "Sorry, dear father-in-law, but" "I can't stand priests or gays, and that's that." "...working with generosity for our nation, without dwelling on the evils of the past... helping us get closer to the wonderful world of Jesus Christ." "Grandpa!" "There you are!" "How are you?" "What's up?" "Can I go for a walk with grandpa?" " Where will you go?" " Just close by." " You can't go far." " Yes, I'll go with my brother." "OK, go." "But take care of grandpa." " That old man is mischievous." " Thanks." "Marcelin, what a pain!" "I don't want to talk to him." " Have a drink?" " A scotch." " No." "Have you seen Christian?" " Christian's here?" " Where is he?" " I don't know, ask Isabel." "She is sitting with the guests." "His cousin, he loves him like a brother." "A very special young man." "Son of my cousin María Inés, who'll come today with Pablo." " Your son?" " No." "María's son." "I met him as an adult." "Cheers!" "How are things here?" " So delicious." " Do you want a little bit?" "Later." "Don't overcook it!" "Anyone want to come" "Listen to the Chilean team's football match?" "It starts in a minute." "Which match?" "The Reds against an African team, playing in Burundi." "It's part of the qualification matches for the World Cup." "They're always qualifying something then, at the big match, ziltch." "Just think, playing Africa today, of all days." "Ask the decision-makers." "They're calling the shots." "Anyway, let's enjoy the life we have." " Want to come with me?" " I do!" "Here I'm getting smoked out!" "Come on." "Is he family?" "He's the husband of my wife's cousin." "Husband of your wife's ...really?" "I thought he was a little..." "Gay!" "Effeminate?" "I don't know." "He's a judge on the Appellate Court." "They've been married a long time." "He's an upstanding citizen." "Upstanding, sure." "It's just strange the way cause trouble with soldiers lately." "Ex-soldiers." "There are no ex-soldiers." "Chile goes out by the right hand." "Here it comes, it passes, touch." "It gives, passes, offers." "Goal!" "I told you, shit, I told you!" " The Reds are great." " I bet you that was off side." " With the asses we have?" " Hey, don't talk trash." "It's Chile's first win in Africa." " It's a heroic achievement." " Why heroic?" "It's our first game in Africa." " Negroes are coming!" " The negroes are so good at sports." "They have strength, resistance and they are also good for "diets"." "It's time to eat." "If Chile wins, my love..." "You'll get laid once for each goal." "I'll tell you the results later." "Excuse me." " Is Alvaro here?" " No, dear." "Did you go to look for that babe?" "Hey, where were you?" "I was showing my cousin the fields." "Cristian, Maca." "Two kisses." "Like in Europe." " I was looking for you." " Why, babe?" " I'm all wet again." " But, baby." "Cristian, wait." "Stay with us." "You are Alvaro's most eagerly anticipated guest." "I can't believe I've never met you." "I've been traveling all over, Europe." "France, Belgium..." "Now I'll go south, to do some research." "Are you a detective?" "No, I study Philosophy and Anthropology." "I also work with southern communities." " How boring!" " Maca!" " Just joking." " Let's eat." " Sit where you like." " Fresia!" "My brother!" "Who invited him?" "I did, dear." "This is supposed to be a reconciliation party." "He's here with my mother." " Ernesto, dear brother-in-Law!" " Hello, my man." " Pancha!" " Shit!" "I've been waiting for you." " Good turnout." " Why did you bring him?" "I was hitchhiking at the crossroads, and he picked me up." "Alvaro's uncle, he's so nice." " This is my brother, Ernesto." " Hello!" "Thanks, Irma." "There's plenty of time to get to know each other." "I don't want to interrupt your Lunch." "Ernesto..." "Antonio, Isabel, the hostess and her husband." "Hello." " Nice to meet you." " Same here." "Congratulations on everything." " I'll see you to your room." " Excuse me." "Forgive me, but I suddenly feel I've met you before." "At the University." "In 1970 or '71." "You studied Library Science, right?" "I studied Sociology." "I don't care, you go and Look for them, now!" "I want these dishes clean and both of you ready at the table." "That's when I met Ernesto." "He introduced me to my wife, who, for 30 years, through thick and thin, has been my partner since our college days." "When we fought for our ideals, our dreams..." "Dreams that almost destroyed the country." "Everybody was involved and now we sit back and do nothing." "I think you're exaggerating..." "Pardon me!" "There wasn't enough to eat." "No exaggeration." "César was at the Naval Academy, and I know very well they ate fish every day." "Every single day!" "But eating fish every day is not starving, Mrs. Maggie." "Stop it, stop it!" "During the military regime, in the dollar crisis of '81 and '88" "I lost everything!" "I was a shopkeeper and I got turned out!" "In my time, the laws were stringently enforced." "Here, it's forbidden to talk politics!" "It's the same story whenever the elders come." "Same old stuff." "We weren't even born yet." "When old folks come together, you get born." "Sometimes, father-in-Law, you act too young." "Let's toast our families... and the Chilean team." "We are going to beat Africa!" "CHILE!" "CHILE!" "CHILE!" "To life and good health!" "You were my best friend's girl." "Horatio..." "And the way you two had to separate... is the wound that still divides our country." "You were arrested and taken to Villa Grimaldi." "And they made Horatio disappear in the Tacna Regiment." "Some years Later..." "His mother called me." "We went together for Identified his bones on a beach." "They weren't his bones." "They belonged to someone else." "Many someones." "And nobody was accountable." "Even if they were identified, they wouldn't be prosecuted." "So, the guilty are among us." "Pardon me." "I'm sorry, Isabel." "I ask your forgiveness." "Really, I never imagined we'd be in such a situation." "You know how important Horatio was to me." "And to you." "Did you hear anything else about him?" "Mom." "That was so inappropriate." "Well, I'm sorry." "It isn't easy for me either." "This isn't the time to talk of such matters." "These things are better Left to the appropriate institutions." "Why are you laughing?" "Let's not discuss this now." "Especially on this occasion." "Why the hell bring it all up now?" "There's not enough dessert for everybody." "More people showed up than we planned." "How does he know you so well?" "And what you studied?" "Mom, you were in prison?" "He doesn't have a clue, darling." "This is your party." "Enjoy it." "This is not my party, Mom." "When are you gonna clue me in?" "All I know is that you were falsely arrested, and Daddy helped get you out." "Am I serving the coffee and dessert together?" "The boss says everybody wants coffee." "You do what you have to do!" "Go on and help Fresia." "Mrs. Isabel... would you like an herbal tea?" "Mom!" "Slow down!" "If grandpa gets hurt, they'll kill both of us!" "You're going in." "You're taking a swim." "You, too, prick!" "Isa, open the door." "Leave me alone, please." "Are you all right?" "Isa, we have to talk." "We've got to figure out how to handle this." "Handle what?" "I'm fine, leave me alone." "Isabel, are you there?" "I want to have a word with you." "It's important." " You." " Yes, me." "Your room must be near." "Nothing's too far, baby." "Sure, now excuse me." " You smell so sexy." " Hey, what are you doing?" "Leave me alone or I'll scream." "I'll scream!" "Go ahead." "That'll excite me more." "How are you, my brother-in-Law?" "What are you doing here?" "Hiding out?" "From what?" "From the spectacle you just made!" "What do you mean?" "It doesn't matter anyway." "Let's Listen to the match." "It's starting." "Excuse me." "It's been years since I gave a damn about a Chilean team." "They play like shit." "Even I could play better." "I played center and forward, for your information." "César and I are worried about Isabel." "In light of what happened with this nasty lout." "And, well..." "Isabel is so sensitive." "It makes me nervous." "Let's not spoil the party with this ugliness." "Don't worry." "She wants things to go smoothly." "But did you talk with her?" "Yes, woman." "Calm down." "Will César be at the parade tomorrow?" "Antonio." "You know very well, in a glorious 38-year naval career, he's never missed one." "Unlike you, stupid!" "How come you never told me about your unbearable cousin?" "Sweetie!" "Not now, babe, that's a mood killer." "Why ask about him now?" "Are you fantasizing about him?" "Aren't you the jealous boy?" "Isa, who was Horatio?" "When did you find out about Ernesto?" "You've never told me where your parents came from." "How they met." "Did you know she was a political prisoner?" "Yes." "I told you she was jailed for a few days, but you didn't pay attention." "What does he know about us?" "Does he know the circumstances surrounding Macarena's birth?" "What was your connection to him?" "Answer me!" "Did you two belong to the same rebel group?" " Enough!" " Don't scream!" "That's enough!" "Don't scream!" "I answered you 80 years ago." "I only asked because I wanted to help you." "Do you know if your mother did those nasty things?" "The atrocities we hear about?" "Why ask me those things, Alvaro?" "Sweetie... it's no big deal." "...of my past, nor of people I knew." "I kept my promise." "Sweetie, come back here." "I'm going on a walk with Pancha." "Let go of me or I'll invite your cousin Cristian to come along." "I've done as you wished." " Until now." "Isa..." "Mind your own business and hand me my shoes, please." "Chile's in front!" "Go Chile!" "Chile can do it!" "And now, if Matador comes through, Run, come on!" "Come on!" "He got tripped up!" "He's down!" " Incredible!" " Shit!" "Hey, it's the penalty problem." "We never score!" "I told you!" "Penalties are just a mindset." "The problem's not in their legs, it's in their heads." "What's happening?" "Are we winning?" "Winning?" "These losers?" "How can these assholes ever win?" "It's a cakewalk." "They're just goofing off." "Is the match over?" "Not yet." "But we're lousy." "They act like stars." "They can't even beat those fucking black boys." "Sorry, but it's true!" " What's your name?" " Tito." " See that pretty woman?" " Yes, she's nice." "What I wouldn't do to her!" "And you Don Manuel...?" "Sure, she's my children's nanny." "Maruca!" " Yes, sir?" "Look at them." "Two new admirers." "This boy is ready for anything." "What do you say?" "What can I say, Sir?" "Maruca." "You..." "Worry about football... and your wife!" "You're too proud, like most Chilean girls." "It's not becoming." "Why so critical, Macarena?" "You're eating up Cristian with your eyes." " You're jealous?" " That's nonsense." "You want every man for yourself." "Leave one for me." "You know what?" "I feel strangely for this guy." "And for his uncle." "For whom?" "For Cristian, who else!" "And with Ernesto..." "I don't know." "I get a weird vibe." "In what sense?" "Something nasty?" "I don't know." "Oh, the ironies of Life..." "I never thought I'd have an ex-military man in the family." "And me, an ex-Marxist, even less so." " Cheers." " Cheers." "Despite the fact that I am aware that certain guests want me out of here" "I'm staying thanks to my sister who is nothing less than the mother of the groom." "Nevertheless, I am forcing myself to remain silent." "To be stoic in the face of so many obscene claims and so much spiteful rhetoric." "Like the ironies of Life that you were discussing," "Some have not had ironies at all." "For example, you, Anthony who, before you managed rich people's money were disguised in a uniform, pretending to be patriotic." "And who still takes care of them, but with Brinks armored trucks, now dressed as a civilian." "And who can explain to me my upstanding brother-in-Law?" "A political leader before the military putsch, he called people to take up weapons." "Which he, of course, never did." "And soon after, opportunely, he went into political exile only to return at the exact moment, in glory and majesty," "to reconstruct the democracy." "Stop it, asshole!" "He ends up a government bureaucrat, sub-director of the only jail imprisoning the same protesters who fought against the dictatorship he incited people to throw over." "How's it going, old pal?" "Fair-weather friend." "Meanwhile, the real criminals walk cheerfully unpunished" "the length and breadth of Chile." "All over this crazy geography." "Beautiful country." "Cheers!" "Beautiful country." "To your health." "Cheers... of this country of ours." "To the destinies of your children." "Look, not only are you disoriented, but you're insolent." "He' s the master of this household!" "Uncle Ernesto, Macarena and I will build our own lives." "Our own destinies, as you say." "The two of us." "And it's none of your business." "So keep your opinions to yourself." "OK, Uncle?" "Stop acting like a clown." " Maca!" " No, Daddy, leave her..." "Daddy, forgive me." "I didn't mean to." "It wasn't on purpose!" " It was an accident." " Come." "What's the matter, daughter?" "Are you drunk?" "Drunk?" "No more or less than the rest of this gang that's been drinking all day." "Why?" "You are going to scold me." "The only reason you ever speak to me is to scold me." "Daddy." "Daddy, you're lack of Love has been cruel." "I know you do it on purpose." "I've always felt so abandoned by you." "Don't you think you're too old for a jealousy scene?" "Besides, it was Mom who..." "And what was I guilty of?" "You know my mother was never able to accept a man who did... what you did." "Who put that shit in your head?" "I am proud of my past and proud to have served my country!" "And why do you never speak of your past?" "And keep your patriotism so secret?" "I know, I know." "You're afraid of losing your spoiled little daughter." "You're drunk and way out of line." "You're disrespectful!" "Ok." "So, here's to your affection distributed stingily, and here's to your conscience!" "Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to present my brother-in-Law, Father Sergio, who's just arrived." "My daughter, Lorena, isn't feeling well." "Father, pleased to meet you." "Congratulations on today's sermon at the Mass in the Cathedral." "Well done." "Especially considering the confusion reigning in Chile nowadays." "Thanks, Don Antonio." "I appreciate your value in the word of God." "I think that Chilean television is like Chilean men." "They're awful, but we can't live without them." "Listen to that." "The voice of a spinster." "Excuse me, but the ones who complain most are the married ones." "No way!" "I'll empty the ashtrays." " The maids get along quite well." " Yes, it seems so, luckily." "Who do you think are better?" "Peruvians or Mapuches?" "What do you think, María Inés?" "You've been so quiet all night." "I think that we should prefer the Mapuches just for the sake of patriotism." "Let's see, Isabel, how's your relationship with the Mapuche maid?" "Great." "Only..." "Fresia has a sour character." "Look who's talking?" "Cheeky witch!" "Cheeky witch!" "It's the truth!" "If your foreign maid has a big mouth, you threaten to kick her out of the country, and she shuts up immediately." "Auntie, you're kidding, right?" "What do you want?" "Nothing." "Excuse me." "I only was Looking for you and..." "I didn't find you anywhere." "Can't you see that I want to be alone?" "I don't know, my dear." "I don't think you want to be alone." "If so, why are you crying?" " None of your business." " I know that already." "But maybe it's helpful for me to be here with you." "If you want, you can close the door." "...we are listening to you, but make the story shorter." "But you're not listening!" "Back then, the communists ate babies and those who weren't eaten were sent to" "countries called Cuba or the now forgotten Soviet Union." "Then, upon their return, they became terrorists." "Chile has a great military history and our warriors are well-known..." "They're animal turds!" "Grandpa, have a piece of candy!" "...keeping soldiers on duty here in Chile, when, in those times," "Augusto Ramón The First was governing Chile," " because the country..." " Hello." " Don't be afraid." " Hello, we scared you." "We're Looking for the marriage celebration of Macarena and..." " Alvaro." " Yes, we are a little lost." "We had to park the car way over there." "We're the kids at the party, and he's the grandfather of the party who enjoys taking walks with us." "Nice to meet you, I'm Rai..." "Raimundo, my name is Raimundo." "Jane, my wife." "I am Isabel's brother." "Macarena's mother." " We came from the United States." " United States?" "Very Good!" "I was decorated by Nixon." "here, decorated for serving my nation!" "Yes!" "Kissinger was there, too!" "After 1973." "That's when I received the decoration" "Oh, very good." "Can you lead us to the house?" "Of course we will, Let's go!" "Where have you been, you nasty children?" " I don't care." "Get going." " The kids were helping us." " Maruca." " And grandpa?" "Anybody coming to Look for..." "Isabel." " It's been so many years!" " Too many." "Maca!" "Maquita." "It's Uncle Rai." " This is Jane." " Hi, Jane!" " Something for your home." " Thank you." "For when we decide to have one." "What?" "You're not..." "I'm not getting married now." "We're celebrating Independence Day." "And we were the perfect pretext for a family get-together." "so we could all see each other after so many years and get to know each other, as we will!" "Thank you!" "José, take this." "Shall we dance?" "No." " Bring me a fork from the kitchen." " Yes, madam." "Isabel, I went to your room this afternoon but couldn't find you." " What did you want?" " Well... to discuss what happened with my brother Ernesto." "I won't speak about that guy." "I'm sorry, but it'd be better for everybody if we spoke." "No, everybody's better off if we stay as we are." "Wine?" "Boys!" "Wanna go to a typical Chilean bar when it gets boring here?" "Chilean bars in the village are beautiful!" "They're authentic!" "Yes, Let's go." "It went out." "Will you give me some?" "Careful, jerk, you're throwing it all away." " We mustn't let it fall." " Try it." " Good." " That's a different story." "Not much." "Clean yourself up, over there." "Damn it!" "Champion!" "Shit." "I Love you, buddy!" "Don't drink any more booze!" "Stop it now, because drinks down there are expensive." "Don't be so cheap." "It's being economical." " Look, they drank up all the booze." " What are you doing, jerk?" " Alvaro, pick that up!" " What are you doing, asshole?" "Go get it." "You go pick it up!" "Set it aside there, we'll get it on the way back." "No!" "Don't yell at me!" "Hey, leave it there." " Aren't you getting married?" " Yes, we are." "Then don't fight about nonsense." "Look, I'm leaving." " Why litter?" " Hello, there!" "Auntie, we're not doing anything." "My dear, I didn't come as a chaperone," "I'm coming along to have some fun!" "Don't worry, Auntie." "We don't discriminate." "Don't ever yell at me again!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Don't be a jerk." "Why did you stop eating?" "Look, we're doing fine here." " Don't be that way, madam." " You're too forward." " Like a cat in heat." " I'm just the opposite!" "Come now." "Don't disturb my "good" intentions..." " Enjoy your meal." " Thanks." " Have a glass of wine, just one." " To your health." "One is nothing, boss." " What do you think?" " Thanks." "I understand that the judiciary is more independent now." "Judicial power has always been independent." "See, my friend wants a judge who'll Listen to him." "That's exactly what tribunals are for." "Yes, yes, but..." "What my friend wants is... a judge who listens to him a little beforehand" "Times have changed, Don Antonio." "Not enough, but they've changed." "Yes, but nowadays things have gone to extremes." "Do you think that there's a kind of revenge in all this?" "By whom?" "The judges?" "Well, by the justice system in general." "And you're complaining?" "Here is where the true and pure Chilean soul lives." "This is so much more relaxing than being at home." " What are they doing on TV?" " When did they get on this show?" "This is only a pretext for a big Chilean party once a year." "You're kidding!" " When's the broadcast?" " We're on the air right now!" "Raimundo." "You're smoking so much." "Less than you smoked when you went away." "Sit down." "Macarena has grown up." "Twenty...twenty-one years old?" " We haven't seen each other since." " Yes." "What a Long time." "It flew by." "You Left." "Others Left me because I was pregnant." "And others said I was an "informer"." "But, why Antonio?" "Was he the lesser of two evils?" "Why?" "Because he asked me to forgive him." "He said that he loved me." "When I was alone and didn't have anyone, he told me he would take care of us." "Macarena and me...forever." "And he kept his promise." "But you're not happy." "What else is new?" "I offered 15 for your room, now I am paying 80," "You think it's not enough?" "For a short stay." "But if you stay all night, you'll owe more." " You know, it's so cold outdoors." " All right." "Well, you know." "Not a word." "You have to disappear now." "Nobody can see you." " Is the door open?" " Yes, boss, it is." "When the Light comes on in a couple hours, come back to your house." "That's good, baby." "Now." " Like this is good, no?" " Good how?" "What's taking you so Long?" "It's the stress." "What stress?" "It's been a very relaxing day." "No, no!" "Don't lean on my operation!" "Careful." "Sorry, baby." "I'm getting down." "I'm getting down." "I'm sure... that I met her years ago." "Really?" "I think I met her at University." "We could've been at some kind of department meeting." "And Horatio?" "As for him, I don't have the faintest idea." "He could have been someone's "front man"." "But how did she meet... this military guy, Antonio?" "Life is so bizarre." "Of course it is, Look at us." "Tell me that I am better than my sister!" "I don't know." "I've never imagined being with your sister." "So what?" "Tell me I'm better than Macarena." "Yes, yes." "You're better." "At least you have to agree that, despite the losses of both our parties, we were able to accomplish quite a lot for our country." "And so little for us, are you saying?" "Maybe." "But don't worry, our turn will come." "When will we have our turn?" "Please." "But, really, we have kept quiet about a Lot of things so that we might continue our careers as civil servants." "We were never silent." "We give others the chance to denounce the guilty ones..." "Don't be a hypocrite, it's not worth it." "I only hope that Alvarito has better luck." "Don't you, my Love?" "Hey..." "Shit." "This isn't a little road, it's a little road!" "A little road, is it?" "No, it's a little road." "Maca!" "Look, I respect you." "If you have the hots for my cousin, take him!" "Hots?" "You said since he's your cousin, it doesn't matter, since that keeps it in the family." "Don't be an idiot!" "Maca, Maca!" " Don't be a jerk!" " Get your hands off me!" "Hey, what's up?" " You want to screw Maca?" " No." "No." "What, no?" "I'm watching you." "What are you watching?" "How you're all confused." "Why don't you hook up with me?" "You wouldn't like that?" "Sure, if you like me." "But I'm feeling many things." "You're handsome, but you've got a problem." "Careful." "Well, that's nice." "Where were you, Tito?" "Dad, what happened was... my friends didn't want me to Leave so late..." "My Love..." "I'm so proud of you." "You represent the best of our Armed Forces." "I'm sure that nothing and nobody will interrupt this proud moment for our nation." "You Look so handsome, my Love." "So you got Laid, my boy?" "Dad!" "I don't know how they found it." "Maybe they drank it, or threw it out, who knows?" "There's no Blessed Water Left for this afternoon's ceremony!" "It's incredible that things like this can happen!" "Couldn't you do the ceremony with just any kind of water?" "Are you joking?" "Antonio, you have to send somebody to get Blessed Water at a church in the village." "We have to explain what happened." "José!" " Good morning, father." " Good morning, my son." "Go to the village church and get some Blessed Water." " You need to give him money." " What?" "Yes, he'll need some money." "Nowadays, Blessed Water has a price tag." "Don't Look at me that way." "Churches need to finance themselves." "It's the world we live in." "Here." "And the bus fare, Don Antonio?" " See you Later." " See you Later." "I hadn't budgeted for this." "Pisco sour?" "Darling..." "Oh, that face!" "To you health." "Ernesto." "Hello." " Is Isabel here?" " No, she isn't." " Where can I find her?" " I don't know." "Sorry." "Isabel, may I come in?" "Sorry, but I need to use the bathroom." "Thanks." "Isabel, Look..." "I think that we have to accept what's happening." "Really, I'm very sorry." "I didn't invite my brother, it was my husband who asked him." "But if you need anything kept under wraps," "I promise you, we'll do our part." "I talked to my son, Alvaro, too." "Nobody shall spoil his future with your daughter, Macarena." "Because we have to salvage a bit of innocence and purity." "Don't you agree?" "Chilean wines are not only known for their price, my friend, but also for their extraordinary quality." "I really liked the story about Caremer..." " Carmenere." " Carmenere!" "Honey, do we have Carmenere in the States?" " No, I don't think so." " It's marvelous." "Don't tell me you learned about wine in the Army!" "Over there, do you drink Chilean wines?" "Now we do, but during the political exile, no." "Not a single drop." "There was a boycott." "Perfect opportunity to learn about wines from other countries!" "And that's the Least of reasons to be grateful for exile." "All I can say is that exile is not all that great." "Something good always comes from the bad." "Try the Merlot, brother-in-Law, to make up for Lost time." "Dad, where's mom?" "In the kitchen, I imagine." "Which do you want, red or green?" " The red one." " The red one!" "Fresia!" "Maruca, see to this gentleman." "Dirty old man!" "Dear, you're a foreigner, aren't you?" "Yes, Sir, I've told you many times." "My dear..." "I shall free you from your slavery with my sword and my rifle, in exchange for a blow job." "Just one little suck?" "Or, if that's too much to ask, a little tit sucking..." "Tell him to go to hell!" "He tried that shit with me when I was a little girl." "When you were a kid?" "Sure." "But nobody believed me." "You know where we go to get spices?" "Take Grandpa there and Leave him, OK?" " Do you know where Mom is?" " No, I haven't seen her." "Mom?" " Beauty." " Aunt." "Mom," "I have to tell you something." "Listen and don't reproach me until I'm through, OK?" "You know Cristian, Alvaro's cousin?" "I like him." "And Alvaro?" "I don't know!" "Is that normal?" "Tell me, I need to know." "Has this ever happened to you?" "Did it happen with Dad?" "Mom, say something!" "People are coming." "This afternoon you're getting engaged." "All I'm asking is why this has to happen to me now!" "These feelings are fleeting." "Like Horatio?" "Who was he?" "You promised Long ago never to bring him up again." "We've never talked about him." "Macarena, that's enough." "I've told you several times you're my only reason for living." " Isn't that enough for you?" " What's the matter?" "Mom, don't go yet." "We're talking." "Mom, please!" " Hello!" " Good morning." "Good morning." "Will you check on Macarena, please?" " After my seafood soup, maybe?" " No, right now." "She's in there with her Dad." "How did you meet Mom?" "Maca..." "We have guests, we have..." "Why does your daughter Lorena hate me?" "I hardly know her." "Maca..." "You never talk about your military career." "Are you ashamed?" "Tell me." " The past is none of your business." " You keep so much from me!" "For years I've seen my mother take anti-depressants." "For years!" "Years of silence!" "Sweetie!" "Alvaro, I am busy." " Please, we need to talk..." " Alvaro, Leave me alone!" "I'm busy!" "I'm coming in," "Dad!" "Asshole!" "Why the fuck did you come in?" "If I say I'm busy," "I'm busy!" "Your mother asked me to come talk to you..." "So I did." " Are you all right?" " Don't touch me!" "OK." "I'm Leaving then." "The Military parade's about to start!" " Are you going to watch it?" " Of course, but Later." " A little spicy sauce, please." " Of course." "And you?" "Will you watch the parade?" " How boring, Auntie." "Go eat now." " Excuse me?" "How is it boring?" "That's the trouble with this country." "No respect and no values!" "But, just Look at this day!" "No time for watching TV." "1973 was not so Long ago, and thank God the Army saved us!" " Go watch it!" " It doesn't matter to us." "Dummy, how can you say it doesn't matter?" "Sweetie, that doesn't concern us." "They're discussing..." "How can you say it doesn't concern us?" "Are you stupid, Alvaro?" "Look, babe, you're in a bad mood." "Here you go!" "Serve yourself, idiot!" "Fighting is bad for digestion." "And you're getting married?" "Attention, Marines!" " For our country!" " He looks wonderful!" "To Win or to Die!" "To Win or to Die!" "Really, I find this all so ridiculous." "These military parades are like a monument to destruction and death." "I wouldn't exactly say that." "Did you ever march in a parade?" "No, I did my service on the border." "You know, you think you're special." " Seriously?" " Yes" " It's true, I guess." " Honey, what are you saying?" "When you were in exile, you protested against all armies." "Curious you should think this way, coming from the most militaristic country in the world." "And the most fascist, exactly." "I am a lawyer and I work with refugees." "I'm aware of what my government is doing to the world." "I also know that Bush is the biggest danger for global peace." "He's not interested in peace." "He's only interested in oil." " Bush is a businessman." " That's why he started the war." "That's how I know about the crimes committed by my government worldwide... in Vietnam, Iraq, or with the criminal embargo of Cuba... and what they paid Pinochet and" "Chilean businessmen to crush democracy in your country." "Don't you know about all that?" "You've only been told about free trade agreements?" "Honey..." "Isn't that what you wanted to tell your compatriots when you returned to Chile?" "You're right." "Put it down here." "Look." " Where did you find them?" " Right around here." "Let me play." "Pancha sings beautifully." "Ever since she was a child." " Let's go to talk with the priest." " Ah, yes." "Alvaro." "Let's go, darling, Let's go." " Do you have the rings?" " Yes, I do, over there." " You're all dressed up like..." " A notary." " How's the wine?" " Very good!" "Don't try to flirt with her." "Remember, she already has a master." "I'll take this seaweed to Fresia." "She makes a great salad!" "Ok, Pancha, Let's sing." "A violent Love that dazzles us..." "A violent Love splits us asunder..." "A violent Love..." "A violent Love..." "This is so difficult, Father." "I don't think I can take it." "I call you if I need something." "Excuse me, Father." "Here you are, brother-in-Law." "I suppose the couple is decided." "Not any problems, right?" "None." "Everything is OK, brother?" "Yes." "I need to be alone for a while." " Yes, of course." " We'll be off then." "Who the hell's this foreigner think she is?" "Coming here to offend our military!" "Go make that bitch take back what she said!" "Good afternoon, Señora Jane." "Give me a moment, please." "I've been informed by a trustworthy source that you have expressed serious charges and offenses against our military forces." "You should know that we have no other interest than the well-being of the public, our country and our flag, for which we are even ready to die." "Exactly!" "You talk about serving the country" "What happened with the millions Pinochet stole from Chile?" " And that other generals stole?" " Hearsay!" "Details, the same charges are being aired in our courts" "Don't try to deceive us!" "Here, no one is innocent." "We lived through a great conflict... and we were all culprits!" "Not everybody has been guilty!" "I didn't kill, I didn't torture," "I didn't make anyone "disappear"!" "I was a teacher who taught my pupils to respect everybody, their thoughts, their ideals, and for that, I was forced out of my job at school." "I am sure that history will find its way toward justice by itself." "Darling..." "This is the country you really want to come back to?" "You're fooling yourself and all of us and deceiving Alvaro." "Pancha, they made this big party for us, with the families, and the rings..." " Yes, it's great." "But I can't!" " Why can't you?" "Everybody who carries a weapon is dangerous and can abuse it." "That's why you're threatening me now!" "I am not threatening you!" "But you are insulting my country!" "Don't exaggerate, she hasn't insulted any country." " Thanks, Irma." " Hold your tongue, stupid gringa!" " Show some respect!" " Mind your own business!" "Since we arrived, she has been insulting our military!" " Tell that old fool to shut up!" " Beat that fascist jerk!" "Bloody communist!" "Nobody insults my wife!" "The priest..." "Defend yourself, César!" "César, careful of the uniform!" "For God's sake, separate!" "Stop it!" "What's this all about?" "What's wrong with you guys?" "Sorry, sorry." "Stop, please!" " What's up, guys?" " These military men..." "Calm down, gentlemen, please!" "We are a family!" "Fresia, take away all the drinks!" "Go to the kitchen!" "You are full of resentment and want to make fun of us!" "He is resentful!" "Never did anything!" "Ex-revolutionary, ex-poet, ex-husband, ex-father, ex-homo, ex-football player!" " You deserve a good beating!" " Calm down." "You only came piss on our patria festivities!" "Say what you will, I've never robbed or killed anyone!" "What do you mean?" "Let go of me!" "Who does this goddamned hippie terrorist think he is?" "Kick the shit out of that stupid asshole!" " That's my son!" " Mother!" "Let go!" "GO CHILE!" "CHILE!" " Hurray!" " Shut up, you decrepit murderer!" "Maruca, take the old man inside!" "Hurray for Chile!" "Chile!" " Where were you?" " What is this, Mom?" "What a shame..." "Father, do something!" "It's just the moment for God's word." "Get on with the ceremony before we all go to Hell!" "No, Father." "Count me out of this." "This has already gone to Hell, Don Antonio." "I don't know if... it's me who should be ashamed... or all of you." "I don't understand how you can be such hypocrites!" "Asking us to be respectful, but..." "Look at yourselves!" "Just Look at you!" "Alvaro and I... became the pretext for your party" "to exchange rings on this day... for all of you." "Dear daughter." "So sorry." "Everybody was a little drunk and..." "Harsh words were spoken." "It wasn't right." "But, don't misunderstand." "We are also celebrating Independence Day," "The most important thing it's the ring's ceremony and your future happiness." "No." "It's a nonsense." "There won't be any rings, or any party or any marriage because..." "All right." "Daughter, forgive me!" "OK, Don Antonio." "Maca is right." "But..." "Sadly, we didn't... win this one." "It's all over." "Chile's efforts to play in Africa demonstrate we are hungry of triumphs, and we have good intentions." "But unfortunately not enough football skills." "Happy Independence Day." "And to everyone an emotional..." "Hurray Chile!" "If Macarena doesn't want to marry, it's OK!" "But nothing must be known." "Isa." "I never failed you." "Not you nor Macarena." "But all this started as a failure!" "I must ask my daughter's forgiveness." "I have to beg her pardon." "I can't stand it any more!" "No!" "Please, Macarena listen to me." "I want to talk with both of you." "Macarena, sorry." "Listen to me..." "You are right, maybe it would be better, but Listen to me." "I said I want to talk to you both." "Well?" "I'm listening." " Daughter, I apologize." " Maca, we're very sorry." "Don't act like a fool, Dad." "You know exactly what I'm talking about." "Macarena, pardon me." "It was my fault," "I was desperate." "Then, we were a family and..." "You didn't deserve it, not in front of family, neighbors, friends." "What do I have to forgive?" "Did you kidnap me from somewhere?" "Did you kill someone for me?" " What the hell should I forgive?" " Daughter..." "I am the guilty one." "I met your mother when she was in prison." "Where?" " An institution." " Where?" "Maca." "It doesn't matter." "It was a house." "Right now, everything matters." "Where?" "It wasn't a jail, it was a..." "Where they tortured?" "Where they made people disappear?" "There?" "Daughter, I was following orders." "That means Mom was arrested... and you were in charge?" "That's it?" "Why not?" "I didn't Love him." "But I did Love her." "I still do." "I Love her." "What's the problem?" "I don't understand!" "I can't understand." "It's that... he... he forced me to..." "Forced you?" "Did he force you... to Love him?" "Did he force you..." "Did he rape you?" "How could..." "Did you rape her?" "Maca..." "This means that I..." "I need you to forget all this." "I was born... forgive me." "Isa..." "I need you to forget." "I need you to forgive me." "This is the end." "Drop the gun!" "You Look pathetic." "Ridiculous!" "Coward!" "I should never have let you declare yourself her father!" "Do you know what?" "You do what you want!" "Thanks for..." "Thanks for everything you did for me." "Thanks for giving me a.." "a family." "But, that's enough." "Enough!" "No more!" "No more!"
