"Any 35 mm. cut of this film seems to be lost nowadays." "Manuel Peña Rodríguez preserved one copy, which was given in the late 60's to the National Arts Fund." "In 1971, this material was destructed after rendering it into a 16 mm. copy, currently preserved by the Museo del Cine." "This edition of "My Sorrel Horse" comes from that copy." "It's not possible to correct its many defects analogically, since they were printed on the internegative." "In 2004, Fernardo Martín Peña was in charge of a restoration, taking account of some documents given by María del Carmen Vieites and Andrés Insaurralde." "That restoration was considered for this edition." "Also, the screening speed was adjusted, damaged or incomplete intertitles were fixed, the colour tones were improved, and some takes, formerly printed out of register, were rescued." "Finally, the actions of some lost scenes are now synthesized in contemporary intertitles." "MY SORREL HORSE" "It was a day like any other, in a country village..." "A stranger arrives at The Thump Inn with an unbranded sorrel horse." "Silvestre:" "Nelo Cosimi." "Give me something to drink, boy." "My mouth is on fire!" "Sir, I need a bed for me, and some hay for my horse." "Sir, have you seen any rough bullocks around here?" "Good heavens!" "It's always the same!" "Those punks behave terribly!" "Last night, the kid tried to save a bottle from death and got a black eye good enough for a national mourn!" "That night," "Silvestre attends one of inn's quaint gatherings." "You cheater!" "Tonight the party is a little bit dull, old man!" "Nobody steals from me playing cards, you bastards!" "Amancio, the true lord in town, the son of the Judge..." "A womanizer whose only law was his own caprice." "He had turned his home into the target of gossip, and his wife into a martyr." "Can't you stay at home for a minute?" "Eulalia's ranch is more attractive to you, right?" "Those are just gossips!" "Don't pay any attention to them!" "Stop being so childish!" "I'm tired of your jealousy" "A happy coincidence got Silvestre and Eulalia together." "It was nothing, my girl." "Just a little fright." "According to the plans the railways will cross the river." "That old bridge must be demolished." "We must build a new one of iron." "I still wasn't authorized to pull those wretched ranchs down, so the railways can be a mile shorter." "I'll do your shopping for you, my lady." "Yes, I live nearby, just a mile from here..." "I live in my dad's ranch." "We're being thrown out of it." "And they say we have fair laws..." "She's not bad at all, my boy!" "The eagle patiently waited for the pigeon to fly by, giving his feast for granted." "I need to speak to you alone." "It's about that eviction." "I pulled some strings and everything has been postponed." "Really?" "Thank you so much!" "And I'll get you more than that." "You'll be able to stay forever." "God bless you, Amancio!" "And couldn't that bless be a kiss from you?" "A happy return, with good news at last to mitigate the sadness of her old folks." "Daddy, back in town they say We won't be thrown out of here." "People say a lot of rubbish around here, my child." "I know them very well, unfortunately." "Silvestre tells the owner of The Thump Inn how he found his horse when it was just an abandoned colt." "Two years later..." "We understand each other very well after all this time." "No man should dare riding it when I whistle." "A beautiful story, but completely useless with the police." "If you can't prove that you own it, you'll lose your means of transport." "They may take it away from me." "But he who dares to ride it should have his last will ready." "It's a pity I don't have a rich uncle." "I'd let him go for a ride and then I'll share my inheritance with you!" "Sir, you know my horse is also unbranded!" "Don't worry, you stupid..." "The authorities are in no economic condition" "to keep that four-legged mummy of yours!" "Come on." "This is a poor house, but you can knock at its door." "Dad, he is the one that helped me when my carriage stumbled." "Come forward, my friend." "You're welcomed in my ranch!" "You're not from here, right?" "Do you come from a distant place?" "A very distant place." "I came to work in this village." "I knew you had to be strong." "I was strong too, back in my old days." "You're not leaving so soon!" "Let's get inside." "It's too hot here." "Stay, Silvestre." "My dad will enjoy chatting with you for a little while." "I inherited this sword from my grandfather, back in Güemes days." "If you don't accept," "I'll have you evicted tomorrow!" "So..." "Should I come tonight?" "Come." "He's a good friend of my dad." "Of your dad only, I hope." "Well." "See you tonight then!" "Is this your horse?" "Yes." "He has no brand, but he does have an owner!" "Get down immediately, you punk!" "He took away from me the only thing I had!" "Later, that night." "Eulalia!" "Get inside, my child." "I'll deal with this gentleman." "You'll pay for this." "The medicine!" "Right after midnight, back at The Thump Inn." "Did you find yourself another horse, my friend?" "Yes, I did" "Unbranded, too?" "Yes." "Colts have no brands in my farm!" "You laugh now!" "The soldier comes back home, and yearns for his beloved family." "It's done." "The eviction notices are signed, my friend." "Today we throw them out and our demolition begins." "Here you have the authorizations." "And mom?" "And Eulalia?" "Give her your blessing, my dear Lord." "She was so good, the poor thing." "Next day." "Before the Judge." "It's time, my friend." "Take your rags out of here now." "Unless you decide otherwise, baby." "There's still time!" "Come and sit here." "Forget the old man!" "He doesn't see a thing, anyway!" "That eviction cannot take place without proper expropriation." "These title deeds are genuine." "Let me go, you coward!" "Silvestre arrives, and the criminal shoots his gun at him." "The lethal whistle." "The end."
