"The light is fading!" "Those sluggish archangels!" "Faster, hurry up!" "Guys, there's the director!" "Hello." " Hello." "Can I ask you a question?" "We'd like to know why the angels are carrying muskets." "They represent the glorification of conquest." "It was the "divine" conquerors who offered us heaven, but with blood and fire!" "Put it with the other equipment in the truck." "He's not here yet!" "Careful!" "That's for the small car!" "Put the suitcase somewhere else!" "Careful, it's heavy!" "Hi, guys." " Hi, beautiful." " All set?" "Bread, please!" "A piece of bread, please!" "TO RECEIVE THE BIRDS' SONG" "Here they come." "I like those clustered houses by that hill." "Isn't there a country road?" " No." "I thought we could go by car." "I thought so too." "The nights must be cold out here." " I imagined it more elevated." "How do you like this place, Shirley?" "It's deserted, Rodrigo." "Are there no people?" "Be patient." "Ubaldino, the community leader, will be here soon." "Yes, but when exactly?" "This is the school." "We're supposed to sleep here?" " Yes, right here." "I imagined Janco Amayu differently." "How nice this place is, Rodrigo." " Overwhelming... the mountains, the river..." "Do you remember that I couldn't sleep when I first came here?" "Scenes for the film were playing in my head." "We have to succeed." "It's crucial." "We will, I'm sure." "The film should be both critical and fair, it should touch a sore spot and speak the truth." "Something worries me though:" "Ubaldino's face." "What?" "Don't you like it?" " That's not it, Rodrigo." "Didn't you notice how worried he seemed when we met him?" " Yes, maybe." "It's in their nature." "They're happy, but they don't show it." "I know them, so I'm not surprised." "Could be, but something doesn't seem right." "Stop being so pessimistic!" "You have all this to work with!" "Hello." " Hello." "Hello." " Hello." "She must be the French woman who's supposed to live here." "Would you like to act in a film?" "It's an easy job." "We're paying 12 pesos." "Thank you, but I don't have time." "Right now I'm knitting this cap." "He doesn't have time, Pedro." "He's knitting his little cap." " What nonsense is he knitting?" "It's not nonsense!" "I'm knitting this cap to sell it." "You understand Spanish!" "Don't you know you could make a lot of money?" "Those Indians!" "What's the matter with him?" "Did you explain it properly?" "Yes, Pedro." "It'll only be in the afternoon, and we're paying well." "It's a nice job." "He's not deaf, is he?" "No, Pedro, it seems to be something else." "Those Indians!" "Let's go find another one." "Did you offer them what we agreed upon?" "They're not interested in money." "Or they just don't feel like it!" "I don't think that's the problem." "So what's your take, as a leftist revolutionist?" "Are you sure they've been offered enough?" " Yes, man." "Were they mistreated?" " Don't talk shit!" "There's no other way, we'll keep working with the Spaniards." "This is scene 25, Take 1, right?" "Is that all?" " Yes, Shirley." "It's all set, so we're worried." "That's why the director wants to talk to you." "Here's Ubaldino!" "How are you?" " So you do speak our language, Rodrigo." "What is it?" " Your people are refusing to work with us." "I don't know what's wrong." "They refuse, even though it's a well-paid and easy job." "Indians have a soul that can be conquered without violence." "I've told them, but I still don't know what's wrong." "Look, Ubaldino, am I the boss and the director, or not?" "My orders must be obeyed." "Why don't they obey you?" "You're the boss too!" "I told them it's worth it." "Of course it's worth it!" "We're paying them more than they've ever..." "Indians have a soul." "They're human beings that can be conquered without violence." "Without spilling blood." "Peacefully!" " Peacefully!" "Cut, Pepe, we got it!" "You won't believe it!" "There's no one here!" "The doors are open and they don't have locks." "None?" " Not a single one." " Hello!" "Hello!" " I'm Rosa, the schoolteacher." "I'm Ximena." "We thought that during the holidays there were no teachers around." " That's right, but I'm from Janco Amayu." "My family and I live here." "How many students do you have?" " We're two female teachers and one male teacher, and we're teaching 190 students." "Is the other teacher as pretty as you?" "You're shooting a film?" "I'd like to watch you work." "Right now we're just shooting with our actors." "We're still searching for locations, and were wondering why there are no locks on all the doors." "We don't need locks around here because there are no burglars." "No burglars?" " We only close the doors to keep out pigs and dogs." "Is there a store around here?" "No, there are no stores." "We buy our stuff in San Felipe." "What?" "You have neither burglars nor stores?" "So you also don't have neoliberalism!" "I have to go." "Ciao." " Ciao." "Did you hear that?" "No burglars!" " I don't believe that." "Listen, Rodrigo." "What are we going to do about these yokels?" "They still refuse to work." "They're very cautious." "They're Indians." "They'll come one by one." "You'll see." "Not one by one!" "We need many at once." "Be patient, Pedro." "This is the countryside." "They have a mind of their own." " Lazy, that's what they are!" "If that were true, you wouldn't get a bite to eat in this country." "I hope they're only cautious!" "Rodrigo, this film is full." "Are there any more scenes to shoot?" "Don't forget to label the can." "Johnny, insert another film." " Is that all?" "Hello." " Hello." "I'm Catherine Pallard." " I'm very interested in film." "Sorry, I've been watching you." "Don't worry, we're almost done." "I'm the producer." "Nice to meet you." "Are you passing through?" " No, I live here." "I came to stay three months but stayed eight years." " Eight years?" "Yes, I like it here." "Did you come here to conduct a study?" "I'm assisting my husband." "He's an herbalist." "He's a Callahuaya." "Do you see that house by the willow?" "Come by, if you like." " We'll certainly meet again." "Come by for a cup of coffee." " Thanks." " Ciao." "Good luck with your work!" " Thanks!" "A French woman and a Callahuaya!" "Eight years!" "She's crazy to live with those Indians." "That little French woman is nuts." "Foreigners are capable of everything!" "Why are you taking so many pictures of me?" "Cause I'd like to remember you a lot." " Why?" "You're very pretty, and I don't even know your name." "My name's Tintilaya." "Tintilaya?" "Sounds like music." " Stop mocking me." "I really mean it, please don't get mad." "Your name sounds like music." "I'd never dare mock you." "What are you and that red "mouse-face" talking about?" "He's a friend." "You must go and get the instruments." "Sure, I'll join the others." "But beware of the Caucasians!" "Who's that?" "What'd he say?" "Nothing." "His name is Marcelino Willka." "He was talking about me." "The little ones were laughing." "You'd only get mad." "I'll get mad if you don't tell me." "He said you have a red "mouse-face"." "You think I do?" " Look in the mirror and see for yourself if he's right." "Come here!" "The furrows still need to be dug." "Hurry!" "They're taking their instruments to the "Sirinu"." "The bird song festival is coming up." "What's it about?" "On that day the birds will come from the sky to bring us new songs." "Our musicians will listen to find inspiration for new melodies." "But first, every musician must let their instrument be enchanted by the "Lord of Music"." "They say he's the devil." "I reckoned this scene would take longer." "We can't find any striped garment for the Franciscans." "What can I do?" "Hello." " Is it true that you're shooting a film?" "Yes, it is." "Do you live here?" " I'm a teacher," "I cure sicknesses, I tell the future," "I do this and that." "My name is Paulino Fernandez." "Are you a "Chamakani"- teacher?" " Not really." "Let's just say I'm a healer." "I'm distressed because people are refusing to help you." "The people in Janco Amayu are stupid." "So you could help?" " I could get people from a neighboring community." "Could you manage to get a hundred people?" " Even more!" "I don't like this, Pedro." "I have these small charms." " Let me negotiate." "You want to save your film, right?" "Okay, but you're taking full responsibility." "The slightest bit of trouble and you'll cancel the contract." "Agreed." " Get the people over here." "Very good." "This charm is a "Warmi-Munachi"." "What's it for?" " It conjures the love of a woman." "Does it work?" " Of course." "Can it also conjure the love of a man?" "Yes, I've got one like that." "I'll bring it to you." "Here's something else." "A little God figure." "Recently excavated, authentic and ancient." "Made by the Incas." "Selling such things is prohibited." "It must be kept safe." "Careful, don't show it to anyone!" "Look, I'd like to show you this little God figure." "Recently excavated." "It's authentic..." "Hello!" " What's your name?" "I'm Fernando, Pedro Barron's brother." "He's the producer." "Ah, Mr... .You don't look anything like him!" " Right!" "Come in." " Thanks." "Let's talk." "Would you give me a hand?" " Sure." "Do you have an important part in the film?" "I'm the assistant director and I'm working with Rodrigo." "Nice." "Making films is wonderful." "I'm talking about the one you are making." "Yes." "Sit down." "Tell me what your film is about." "It's set in the 16th century, right?" " Yes." "We want to remind people of historical facts that the official historiography conceals or mutilates." "Do you want to repeat "The Black Legend"?" " No, we don't." "Look!" " What?" "The peasants on that hill!" "Hello." "They're from Cotabamba." "Guys, come here!" "I fulfilled your wish." "We'd also need some women." "That'll cost you extra." " You're a thief!" "Get me three hundred and you'll make enough." " Three hundred?" "But you promised!" "You share their way of thinking?" "Not in terms of education." "They say our language, our traditions and clothes are bad and need to be given up because they're not modern." "Sometimes kids are being beaten in class for speaking Aymara." "I think we mustn't forget the past." "One can't move forward without looking back." " I can only second that." "Friends of Janco Amayu!" "Come to the school, apply, and participate in an international film... that we are shooting here." "Look." " Yes, this place is nice." "Look at those small houses!" "Wait, I'll take a picture." "I was about to do the same." "Come!" "Wait, I'll take a picture of you." "Don't you want to work for us?" "Don't you want to make money?" "Strange people!" "This thing must be for that festival we'll be filming." "I think so." "It looks good." "Hello!" " Hello, Ximena!" "Do you have any cough syrup?" "A friend of mine is sick." "I do." "Wait, I'll go get it." "Is it someone from school?" "No, he's a friend of mine." "He couldn't sleep all night." "Did you call a doctor?" "If there was a doctor!" "Ximena may have some medication." " I hope so." "Where does he live?" " Up there." "We'll find something." "You're coming along, Shirley?" "Is it serious?" " Yes." "He's got a bad cough." "Can you take this?" " Can't you carry it yourself?" "Looks like pneumonia." "I could give him antibiotics, but that wouldn't suffice." "He needs to be treated in a hospital." "What do you think of the film people?" "It's taking them too long to communicate." "Can't you help them?" "I've seen one of your films, and I liked it." "No, I can't." " Why do you say that?" "See the lizard over there?" " Why would I care about a lizard?" "It knows what it wants." "It's smart and knows it's environment." "Come here, Katy!" "Look!" "At last, the Pilku Jamache!" "The Blue Lily?" " Yes, it's Spanish for "Blue Lily"." "Take a look!" "It's used to cure yellow fever." " Yellow fever!" "Wonderful!" "Such a small plant with so many qualities." "It's very rare." "Very hard to find nowadays." "It's strange." "It worries me that the film crew still hasn't connected with the community." "What can we do?" "What's the matter with your people?" "How come they don't like us?" "How long until they realize they should be working with us?" "I need them." "Now!" "We're losing money because of you." "All this costs a lot of money!" "Having to depend on your moods is intolerable." "You're mocking us, you're complaining, but when it comes to work, you disappear!" "Force them to come!" "You have to!" "You're the boss, aren't you?" "This'll be good." "The fire in the background and the archangels appearing amidst the smoke..." "I'm concerned about the fire." "I'm not comfortable filming here." "More to the left..." "a tad more to the right!" "Careful on the way down!" "You didn't give us the number of the scene, Pepe, and you didn't give us the film speed either." "You're all driving me nuts!" "Put them down by the marked trees." "Hurry up!" "I fear that the fire will spread." "We'll just burn down some of the smaller trees." "Everything's secure and under control." "Nothing's going to happen." " I don't know, I'm worried." "We'll rehearse it, okay?" "Only the marked trees!" "Cut!" "We got it!" "Give me the 25-mm-lense for the first take." "And the 75-mm-Tele for the second." " Okay." "This is scene 27." " Yes, Fernando." "The next scene will be added later." " Okay." "Hello, is Fernando around?" " No, I'm alone." "I'll leave then." " Why the hurry?" "We've never even talked." "I know, but I'm busy." "Wait a minute." "I'd like to talk to you." "About what?" " I don't want you pestering my brother." "Rosita!" " Yes, it's Rosita." "Why is she in such a hurry?" "There are different kinds of leaves." "Some are oblong, others are Lanceolate or heart-shaped." "Look, these are heart-shaped." "And these are the veins." "And this..." "This is the nervous system, and this is the stem." "You rushed out of the school without even turning around." "What's going on?" "Aren't you feeling well?" " I've got a headache." "I can get you an Aspirin." " No, thanks," "I just want to be with the kids." "I'd like to stay and play guitar, if you don't mind." " If you like." "May, May, May, Paris, May..." ""BE REALISTIC, DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE!"" "Sound!" "Camera!" " Scene 46, Take 1!" "Action!" "Where are we going?" " Up there!" "Give me your cigarette." "Enough is enough!" "We can either leave or take drastic measures." "Where am I supposed to find 300 villagers for the first scene?" "Paulino couldn't promise more than 80." "I think we should put some pressure on Ubaldino." "Our only chance is to force the Indians to work with us." "They're boycotting our work." "It's criminal!" "May I know how you plan on forcing them?" " It's quite simple!" "By bringing a judicial notification and the police." "If you really think we can force them into letting us film the music-ritual, then you're wrong!" "You're so obstinate about filming those birds that we'll go broke!" "Don't you get it?" " You're not getting it!" "Just get on with the accounting!" " Fuck!" "I guess this is not the right moment!" "Barron is nervous." " And I'm the one to suffer." "I'd like to go into town..." " We're still shooting!" "We're not just standing around!" "What's up?" "I just thought this hassle would only last a couple of days." "I don't eat enough and I can't sleep." "Back in the day you called yourself a fighter." "Everything has it's limits, and I'm not being paid enough." "You're our best-paid technician." " That's not true." "You know I could be better off." "How much do you want?" " 1.500 a week." "That's twice what we've agreed upon!" " It's reasonable." "I'll give you 1.000." " 1.500" "1.200. - 1.500." " Son of a bitch!" "That was a stone!" "They've smashed the window!" "What's that?" " A stone, can't you see!" "They've smashed the window." "I'm scared." "What shall we do?" " Be quiet!" "This'll leave a big bump if you get hit in the head." "What's going on?" " We'll see." "Calm down.." "Rodrigo, look!" " The Indians are drunk!" "They're carrying torches!" " Dona Castita, you're speaking Aymara." "Ask them what's going on." "Me?" "No!" "Those Indians look vicious!" "Ximena!" "Make that lunatic shut up!" "What's with the fucking Indians?" "We're making this film for them!" "Why did they start playing?" " They've been stirred up." "But why against us?" " Instead of pissing our pants we should find out what's going on out there!" "I want to leave!" "I don't want to be touched by one of the Indians!" "Enough!" "We're not in Miami!" "Bitch!" "Where do you think you're going?" "Here, brothers!" "And you, beat it!" "To hell with you!" "I'm Juan Mamani." "Beat it!" "Defender of the Indians!" "Go out and talk to them!" "Or don't you speak Aymara?" "Instead of insulting Shirley..." " You must be out of your minds!" "Besides, she's right:" "The Indians are out for blood!" "And we're all alone!" " They'll kill us!" "We'll chase away the bad luck!" "They shall leave!" " You can't treat the Caucasians like that!" "They lack any kind of respect!" "They just do as they see fit!" "Look at that!" " Careful, Fernando!" "How horrible!" " Dead little birds!" "Now go and tell them why you did it!" "Go!" "They're outside with torches." "The Indians are surrounding us!" "Those bastards are surrounding us!" "What are you doing here?" "Go home!" "I can see Ubaldino!" "They're quarrelling!" "If something happens to us, my mother will never forgive you." " Calm down!" "You and your hysterical fits are only making it worse!" "Didn't I tell you:" ""Never kill a bird, Carmelo!"" "Holy Mother Mary." "Forgive, Mother Earth." "Forgive the young people." "I'll have my rifle ready." "The moment they come in," "I'll shoot!" " Okay!" "Listen, Rene, there's also a musket you can use." " Yes." "I must prepare the gunpowder first." "You, too?" " It's all my fault." "I'm losing it!" "The brave defender of the Indians wants to shoot them!" "I can't believe it, Rodrigo!" "What about all the things you used to preach?" "I'm a consultant for the peasants' union!" "I'm on the peasants' side!" "They can't hurt me." "I'm a leftist!" "It's your fault, you fucking communists!" "You, the proprietors and exploiters are to blame!" "I was always for the liberation of the Indians!" "What liberation are you talking about?" "There are your red heroes who are getting rich like Ceaucescus!" "Or Galina Brezhnev who's dealing with diamonds!" "Where's the gunpowder?" "This is all the gunpowder that's left!" "And the Indians, Rodrigo?" "They could give us away!" "What's going on?" "You're so quiet!" "Leave her be!" " Stop meddling!" "Give me the rope!" "It's in the cookie box!" "What are you up to?" " Don't do it!" " How can you?" "Behind the stove with you!" " He's gone mad!" "Rafo, why do you want to tie us up?" "What've we done?" "Sit!" "Forgive them, Mother Earth, these people are unaware..." "Quiet, quiet." "You too, by all means!" " What?" "I'm not an Indian!" "Come here!" " What is it, Barron?" "You're losing it!" "Come here!" " Look at those idiots!" " You're just like them!" "What's the matter with you?" "I'm not an Indian!" "Calm down, please!" "Don't come any closer, Barron!" "I can't guarantee for anything!" "Maybe you're not really a Quispe!" " My mother is a Mestee, but my father is Caucasian!" "Ever take a look in the mirror?" " I'm not an Indian!" "What's going on?" "How can you do that?" "Then you'll have to tie me up as well!" "Don't you see that Rafo and I look alike?" "Tie me up!" "It's Catherine, let her in." "Good evening." " Come in, Catherine." "What's going on?" "I was told the peasants came, carrying torches." "That's right." "And these gentlemen are wetting their pants." "What's with the peasants?" " Do you know anything?" "No, I don't." "I wasn't able to find anything out." "So you don't know anything, little foreigner?" "What's wrong, Rodrigo?" " Just shut up." "You want to teach us about the Indians, but you can't even explain their behavior towards us." "But all the curiosities you and your lovely husband have gathered are worth writing a highly scientific book about!" "So you can cash in on your reputation as an expert." "Another deal, another pillage." "What's wrong, Rodrigo?" " You're mistaken." "I'm not just a tourist, I feel like this is my country too." "For you, all Europeans are the same." "It's not that easy." " Rodrigo is right!" "With what right is the foreigner meddling in our business?" "What's the matter, Shirley?" "One has to be degenerate to want to live with an Indian!" "Degenerate French woman!" " Have you gone mad?" "Those Indians you despise have more moral principles..." "You don't get it at all!" "Now we are the less well-off." "She's European, she understands everything." "That's genuine racism, Catherine." "He's had a few too much, don't take him seriously!" "Crazy foreigner!" " Shut up!" " I'll leave." "Silly thing!" " Have you gone mad?" "How dare you talk to Catherine like that?" "Who's this Catherine anyways?" "Ximena!" "Hello!" " Hello, Catherine." "I'm here to pick you up." "Come in." "Do you care for some herbal tea?" "No, thanks." "I'd like to invite you." "Let's talk outside." "If you like." "We'd like you to participate in our meeting." "Rodrigo wants you to be there, by all means." "Yesterday he was drunk, today he's ashamed of what he said." "I see, but I won't come." "Please come!" "It's of great importance to us." "How nice everything is." "How beautiful your country is." "It's your country too." " My country?" "What about Andres and your love for all this?" "You know..." "Back in France I used to be an active militant." "I really believed in the revolution, which seemed to originate from countries like this." "That's why I came here and why I'm still here." "And it's so painful, what they said to me last night." "Don't cry." "Don't be sad." "Please Catherine..." "The actors are all set." "Yesterday evening..." " Don't worry, Rodrigo." "I appreciate your attitude." "I'd like you to participate in our meeting." "They're your internal matters." "I'm asking you honestly, as a friend." "All right." "Can we talk for a minute." " Yes, sure." "I want to return to the city." "Just like Carlos, Rene, and Johnny." "How can you do that to me?" " Yesterday we've been insulted and mistreated." "I don't get why you still care about what we think." "You're an important part of the group." "I need you!" "Don't leave now, Rafo!" "I'm not sure what the others will say." "I saw Ubaldino in the city." "He's changed..." "I think the Indians are playing dirty tricks on us." "First they smiled, telling us they'd work with us anytime." "But at the crucial moment..." "nothing." " I don't know." "I think Ubaldino's caught in the middle." "He's being put under pressure both by us and his people." "Excuse me, Mr. director," "I'd like to tell you something." " Sure, Dona Astita." "Why did you ask so much from Umbaldino?" "His hands are tied if everyone else disagrees." "Isn't he the one to make the decisions?" "The others didn't agree." "At the community meeting they voted against it." "Why didn't you tell us before?" " I was afraid you might think I wanted to interfere." "What do you think, Catherine?" "The community chiefs don't decide alone if the matter concerns everyone." "That's pretty common, right?" "You understand?" " How foolish of us." "The group decides." "We should've asked their permission." "Their anger was justified." " Naturally." "Ubaldino explained it to me." "We'd like to talk to you." " Certainly." "Hello." " Hello." "We'd like to apologize." "We were wrong and ask the community to decide whether we should stay or leave." "Speaking in your native tongue is forbidden." "Using names of the Indian nobility is forbidden." "They're neither allowed to dress like the Incas nor to wear their hair like them, or to celebrate a feast that is not part of the Catholic religion." "You're right!" "If we want to keep this colony, then no one shall keep their name." "No one shall speak the way they speak." "No one shall think the way they think." " Right!" "No one shall think the way they think!" ""Your gaze is as lovely as the song brought down by the birds of the sky."" "You're kidding, right!" "You want the old man to have a heart attack?" "What's your problem?" "Your mother will die instantly if you tell her." "Don't you get it?" "She's an Indian, even if the poor thing can read." "She's an Indian!" "You'll feel miserable if you do this!" "Those never-ending racial prejudices!" "Isn't the same blood running through our veins?" "Have you forgotten that grandma's from this village?" "We're Mestees, whether we like it or not!" "Get used to it, idiot!" "I'll not allow you and that crossbreed to defile our family!" "I don't want to be related to a Tintilaya!" "Never!" "To such a crossbreed!" "Help!" "Get me out!" "Help!" "Rosita, aren't you feeling well?" "You look sad." "What's wrong?" "I don't feel well." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "Let's go sit in the sun." "We can sit over there." "I have something serious to talk to you about." "It's very important to me." "Can't you see I'm not feeling well?" "Please don't talk!" "Hey, you!" " What is it?" " Stop hitting on Rosita!" "You two have nothing in common." "You're wrong!" "We're the majority!" "This is our country!" "You're right, brother, but..." "You're calling me "brother"?" "How dare you?" "Don't get angry!" "I, too, am against the discrimination of Bolivia." "You ought to be chased away!" "The Caucasians should leave!" "Why don't you go to Miami?" "Isn't that were you people want to live?" "I love this country!" "It makes me feel human!" "I have the right to live and die in this country." "Don't you understand?" " No, I don't understand it!" "Enough!" "Stop quarreling!" "It's getting late, let's start shooting." "I'm coming." "Did you hear what they said about the mass murders in Oaxijecac, Mexico?" "They had to step over the Indians' corpses in order to go somewhere." "And the sun was darkened by a thousand birds of prey, coming to feed on the corpses." "Did you know?" "Father Motolinea told me!" "Am I doing it right?" " Yes, very good." " Thanks." "You can't just kill them!" " They're human beings!" "They ought to be quartered!" "That's a crime!" " A sin!" "They're inferior!" "They look like monkeys!" "They have a soul!" "They're heretics!" "They sin against nature!" "They're endowed with reason!" "They're enjoying the good!" "They were only born to serve!" "Aristotle said that!" "They can be conquered without violence!" "A just war!" "An unjust war!" "A just war!" "An unjust war!" "A just war..." "Indians are inferior beings!" "Indians are human beings!" "Give us a sign, Mother Coca, for your omniscient..." "What's the news?" "Rejoice!" "They've agreed!" "Yesterday evening the "Yatiri" read in the coca leaves that we're allowed to film the festival!" " Are you sure?" "They promised." " So they won't deceive us?" "No, it's true!" " Pepe!" "Come here!" "They've given us permission to film the bird festival!" "Great!" " Wonderful!" "Listen!" "Listen to this song!" "Joy!" "Little sparrow, fly so high and carry Rosita's sadness away..." "Carry her sorrows far away, carry them away!" "Fly!" "Fly, little bird!" "Accept our sacrifices, Mother Earth..." "The birds will come from the sky and bring us beautiful song!" "Our musicians will play with joy in their hearts!" "Tell them to bring beautiful songs, Mother Earth!" "I don't know what's wrong!" "I can't hear a thing!" "Why can't you hear anything?" "I'm pointing the microphone at the trees, but there's nothing." "Is the recorder wrecked?" " No, I can hear you clearly." "The tape's running." " So start recording!" "But there's no sound!" "What can I do?" "I'd say:" "The production proposes, the Indian disposes!" "They did a good job." "Why are you blaming them?" "I can't see things clearly." " What's your problem?" "Yesterday's frustration?" "It'll pass." "I'm not buying what happened with the birds." "The recordings of the birds are fantastic!" "They can hear but we can't, that's impossible!" "I thought we were done discussing this." "They can hear but we can't!" "They can see over a long distance, while all we see are the next four street corners!" "All that noise has made us deaf." "Maybe that's why we don't hear them sing." "Save your excuses!" "The tape recorder isn't deaf!" "What's your theory?" "Why would I have a theory?" "I'm confused and..." "Listen, John!" "We're working here!" "I know you too well." "Listen up!" "The community council is coming to say goodbye!" "Don't leave!" " We didn't know about it." "Everyone, come here!" "They expected you to say goodbye!" "I've said goodbye to Ubaldino." " I see..." "Here they come." "They've were talking about you for hours yesterday evening." "They've prepared something." "They're not content, right?" "Hello." " Hello." "We've were talking about you yesterday evening." "People like you usually never ask for approval, but you did ask for approval," "when it concerned our festival." "That's why we've joined Rosita, who's got something for you." "I don't get what you're saying." "I'd like to give you this "Illa"." "For me, Rosita?" " It's a "Illa"." " And what is it?" "Some "Illas" protect the harvest, some "Illas" prevent frost, some "Illas" are for love, and there are also "Illas" for a peaceful death." "And what's this one for?" "It's to receive the bird's song..." ""To receive the birds' song, to mount the wind, to sail in the light," "to start the journey to my destination, the last evening of shadows and winter," "I sing!" "To receive the bird's song," "to be the bright trail of a blue star, the Infinite root of mist, the sun's blood, burning in nights of oblivion," "I sing!""
