My Love: Six Stories of True Love (2021) s01e02 Episode Script
Spain: Nati & Augusto
[birds chirping]
[Augusto] Although your mother
Doesn't want you to ♪
You should come with me anyway ♪
-That's not how it goes! I can't remember.
-[chuckling]
Through the main door.
[both chuckling]
Gosh!
-I'll sing another.
-"If Your Mother Doesn't Like Me."
Beneath your window ♪
I've got a crock full of honey ♪
If you don't tell anyone
You can have some too ♪
I… I lack intensity.
My poor throat.
[Nati] So you're gonna renew
your driver's license?
[Augusto] My age is what I can't renew.
-[Nati] Yes, you can.
-The license isn't the problem.
-The problem is my age.
-[Nati] Not at all!
If you can see, you can drive.
If you see the road.
They should make cars for that too.
They will.
So they can drive on their own.
-Without a driver.
-Some already do.
-But they're not here yet.
-They won't come.
We'll be gone before they get here.
We're not going anywhere yet.
We still have a lot of things to do.
If you're fine where you are,
why go somewhere else?
That's true.
-[receptionist] Augusto Fernández?
-Melgarejo. [clears throat]
[mutters indistinctly]
-[receptionist] Augusto?
-Yes, ma'am.
[woman] Augusto, look
at the little black ball in front of you.
-[Augusto] Okay.
-[woman] Can you sign here on this gadget?
That's the signature
that'll be on your license.
[monitor beeping]
[beeping continues]
Very good.
Let's continue. Stand up for a moment.
Stretch your arms out in front.
Put your legs together a bit.
Close your eyes.
Very good. Same again.
There.
Close your eyes.
-[optometrist] Which side is open?
-On the left.
[optometrist] And this one?
That one on the top.
-[optometrist] And this one?
-On the right.
-[optometrist] This one?
-Huh? Where?
That one nowhere. I can't see it.
-[optometrist] You can't see it?
-No.
[optometrist] And this one?
That one… on the le…
It's round!
[Nati] Andrés!
Hello?
Andrés, it's me. Nati.
We don't have a car because Augusto…
he went for his test, but he didn't pass.
For his driver's license.
We don't have…
We need help getting to Marchenica.
We have no car.
He can't drive.
Okay.
Bye.
[Augusto] Well, before we went in our car.
-[Andrés] Very good.
-[Nati] Now we need you to take us.
[Andrés] That's what I'm here for.
Why can't you drive your car?
-Because--
-[Augusto] Because I can't.
He can't because of his reflexes.
-My eyesight, my feet--
-His eyesight and everything is failing.
-He's 83. Where can we go?
-They hurt a lot, so I can't.
ANDRÉS
FRIEND
-Nati, how old are you? Around 70?
-I'm 77 years old.
-[Andrés] 77?
-Yes.
How long have you been with Augusto?
We've been together for 60 years.
-[Andrés] Sixty.
-[Nati] That's not common these days.
[Augusto] People don't stay together long.
[Andrés] Not now.
-[Nati] You never know.
-[Augusto] New couples don't.
-[Nati] You never know. It depends.
-[Andrés] Hopefully some do.
-[Nati] You never know. It depends.
-[Andrés] Let's hope they do.
You've got to persevere until the end.
-You have to work at it, yes.
-And put up with a lot.
Who won over who? Nati or Augusto?
-[Augusto] She did. She won me over.
-She did?
[Augusto] She had a bar
where they sold wine and liquor.
-[Andrés] You went there…
-I saw her behind the counter.
-I said, "Pour me a glass of anisette."
-[chuckles]
-She poured me the best she had.
-"I saw her."
[Andrés] Did she? Because she had the best
or just to be good to you?
-She wanted to get me drunk to trick me.
-[Andrés] Oh, right.
-She poured me the strongest one.
-[Andrés] Wow.
-Is that the truth, Nati?
-I can't remember anymore.
Augusto, did you have to ask her father?
-[Augusto] I didn't ask him.
-Nothing? You just took her?
[Augusto] Just like that.
We had a wedding.
-[Andrés] In secret or what?
-[Augusto] No, a proper one.
[Nati] But I got the best…
-The best in the world.
-[Andrés] Oh!
[Nati] To have been together for 60 years,
I don't think…
[Andrés] Sixty, sure.
It's a beautiful story.
-[Nati] Look at the almond trees.
-[Andrés] Do you have almond trees?
[Augusto] We have a few up there.
[Andrés] Enough for yourselves?
[Nati] For the deer.
That's all there is now…
MARCHENICA, JAÉN
NATURE PARK SOUTH OF SPAIN
[gentle guitar melody playing]
[Julia] Oh…
-[Nati] More?
-Yes.
[yelps] Oh, my God!
-That was quite a bump!
-Take this.
[guitar melody continues]
[inaudible]
[calling donkeys]
WINTER
[Nati] Andrés and Julia, one,
and María, two neighbors.
-Three neighbors.
-[Augusto] And when we're there, four.
-[Nati] Right.
-So, eight in total.
[Nati] Eight neighbors
between the two farmhouses.
That's right.
There used to be more.
-There were 20 before…
-There are 12 less.
[Nati] There were 20 or 22.
-[Augusto] That's it.
-[Nati] Yes.
Back then.
[Augusto] Women don't have
kids these days.
[Nati] It's on the decline.
Now all that's left are…
[Augusto] The mountain goats
and wild boars…
are taking over.
[Nati] They already have.
-They're not afraid of anything.
-[Augusto] Nature park.
[Nati] They made it for them,
for the deer and wild animals.
[Julia] How big shall we make them?
[Nati] Well… not too big.
-Here.
-[Nati] Shall I bring this over?
Which one?
JULIA
NEIGHBOR
Take them over there.
ANDRÉS
JULIA'S HUSBAND
[Andrés coughs]
[Augusto] The first stoking is
what makes it.
-[Andrés] I think it needs more.
-Wow, it needs a lot more.
-[Julia] Is it too big?
-[Nati] No, that's fine.
PASCUAL
NEIGHBOR
Bring another one.
-There's one left, Andrés.
-[Julia] Three more are there.
[Andrés] When I came from there,
there were
[Augusto] Get out of the way, Pascual,
or they'll hit you.
-[Pascual] Almost ready.
-[Augusto] What matters is that it bakes.
-[Nati] There's that smell.
-They will all be the same.
[Andrés] I can't go faster.
[Augusto] Close the door.
Without heat, they won't rise.
[Julia] They're burning.
Yes, they are. Can't you see?
-[Julia] Not baked properly.
-[Andrés] Not baked?
[Nati] Of course it is!
[Augusto] It burned because of the paper.
[Julia] It's not baked.
-[Andrés] She says they're not baked.
-[Nati] I think they are.
What? You should have spent time
in the Sahara.
-[Andrés] The goat is going for a walk.
-[Augusto] She needs a companion.
-[Andrés] No.
-[Augusto] Because alone…
-If she had a companion, she wouldn't…
-[Augusto] She's alone…
-[Andrés] She isn't as she should be.
-She's scared.
-She won't walk with me if she has one.
-[Augusto] She's used to being alone.
[Andrés] For her to be well,
she has to be alone.
I mean for her to walk with us.
-With another goat, she wouldn't.
-[Augusto] No.
That's quite a load you've got
on the donkey.
Are you going back for more?
[Augusto] Another trip.
Careful with the goat.
She's fixated on the pine tree.
[Andrés chuckling]
[Augusto mutters]
Pull it that way.
Don't pull too hard or you'll unplug it.
Slowly.
-[Nati] I can't really see it either.
-Mmm.
-[festive music playing softly on speaker]
-Wow!
We're a pair of artists!
[festive music continues]
[Nati] Put it there.
-Over there.
-Makes no difference.
[exclaims softly]
Bingo!
[music continues softly on speaker]
Looks good all dressed up.
It's got lights everywhere.
-The best part is how the lights change.
-Yes. It's nice.
[festive music continues faintly]
-[crickets chirping]
-[owl hoots]
[birds chirping]
[Nati] Oh!
-Look what we have here.
-[Augusto] What's all this?
My goodness.
-[Nati] The Three Kings!
-Look what they brought for us!
-[Nati] How wonderful!
-My word!
Look what we have here.
You guessed right. That's yours.
-[Nati] Let's open them here.
-Nativity.
[Nati] Oh, what a surprise!
-[Augusto] I'm going to get mine.
-No, this one first.
-[Augusto] I don't want anyone to nab it.
-Huh?
-[Augusto] Don't want anyone to nab it.
-This one first, then the other one.
[Augusto] Oh, there are more!
[Nati] Oh!
[sneezes loudly]
-What do you think?
-I caught a cold, people.
Wow!
[Nati] Great. This is warm.
It's beautiful.
What a robe the Three Kings brought you!
[Nati] Fabulous!
I guessed it was this.
Sure.
It's a bit small for you.
Are the sleeves good?
-I mean…
-Let's see the other side.
That's how it goes.
-Leave it like that.
-Let me see.
This has to go up. Wait.
Move your hands.
-I don't trust you. You hurt me.
-Oh, you're a softy today.
-[gentle melody playing]
-[sawing]
[gentle melody continues]
ROQUE
SON
AUGUSTO JR.
SON
[Augusto] Five, six, seven…
eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve.
Eleven…
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
and sixteen.
-Eighteen.
-[car approaching]
[Roque] We can empty them
into the trailer.
[Augusto] Don't overload the car.
Better to do another trip.
[man] No. Better to do one less.
[Augusto] We still have…
a whole world out there to discover.
[Nati] Now it's time to enjoy ourselves
and go to…
[Augusto] Go have a blast.
-[Nati] And party.
-Of course.
[Nati] Go on vacation and stuff.
-[Nati] It's our time now.
-Go to the beach since you've never been.
[Nati] Mmm.
[Augusto] What will you do if I go?
-Find someone else?
-Yup.
As soon as I'm done with you,
I'll find another.
-I don't want to be alone.
-[Augusto] Boy, you're a real live wire.
You can't lose your spirit.
[Augusto] You're…
-[clears throat]
-Stronger every day.
-[Augusto] You're a demon!
-You bet…
You have to be ready
for what comes your way.
Otherwise, you're lost.
The thing is you know me.
You're really good to me.
-You do things the way I like them.
-Of course.
You deserve it.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe.
Of course you do.
-Then why did we get together?
-That's true.
To each go our own way?
Why do people get together
for a short time?
-Get together and part a year later.
-Change partners.
It sounds like a farce.
It's right for them.
I'm not sure it's right to do.
-Of course.
-I don't see much future in that.
[car engine running]
-[Roque] See you later!
-[Nati] Okay, son, goodbye.
-[Augusto] Safe journey. Bye.
-Safe journey!
-[Roque] You have to come to Elche.
-[both] Okay.
[Nati] All right, bye.
He's driving without a license.
[Nati] And… yes.
And look how he drives.
He can drive,
but he doesn't have a license.
-[Nati] Yes.
-But anyway…
[mutters]
[Augusto] My feet are freezing.
[Nati] This is my favorite time of year.
This season.
-Winter.
-[Augusto] You can have it.
If you like it, it's all yours.
[Nati] We're so high up here.
[Augusto] That's why you're so tough,
because the land is tough.
[Nati] I did lay on the snow
and I wasn't even cold.
[Augusto] You've never felt the cold.
I sought you out because you're strong.
-[Nati] No--
-You were warm.
-[Nati] I was strong and I still am.
-Still? Be quiet.
[coughs] You have to be
strong at this age.
[Nati] You have to be. Like a warrior.
[both chuckling]
[Augusto] My God.
If you don't face the obstacles,
they take you down too.
SPRING
-[jovial music playing]
-[birds chirping]
[Nati] Can you hear?
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
[Augusto] If you wake up at dawn,
the birds are singing their hearts out
because there's no noise.
-Exactly when the sun rises.
-[Nati] They have such a good ear.
[Augusto] They're so intelligent.
-[Nati] They're beautiful.
-And depending on the kind of bird.
[Nati] Absolutely.
[Augusto] Antbirds like to be
in the darkest place they can find
with lots of brushwood.
Animals are pretty clever.
-People can be bad seeds. Look.
-[Nati] Oh, well, maybe…
[Augusto] Look at what they've taken.
What do they get out of it?
-[Nati] Precisely that.
-Good-for-nothings.
[Nati] Wow!
-[Augusto] There it is.
-The good weather is here now.
[Augusto laughs]
-[Nati] It's close now, huh?
-It's near Manuel's farmhouse.
[Nati] But I can only hear one.
[Augusto] Because they sound the same.
Maybe one sings and then another.
-[Nati] There aren't many.
-No, only a few.
-[Nati] Just a few.
-They come in pairs.
-[bird singing]
-[Nati] Hear that?
-[Augusto] That's the male.
-[Nati imitates bird]
[Augusto] The female sings differently.
Birds never fly alone.
They take their partner.
[Nati] So they should.
Birds are meant to reproduce.
If they go alone, they don't reproduce.
So they would miss
the essence of life.
[bird singing]
-[Nati] Listen!
-That's the same one. That's the male.
-[Nati] It is the same one.
-The female sings differently.
[Augusto] Did you water
the garden, Pascual?
[Pascual muttering]
[Augusto] Where's Andrés?
I haven't seen him today.
Does the electric fence work for you?
[Andrés] It seems like it does
for the wild boars.
All right.
[Andrés] When it's turned on,
fewer come over.
It isn't a waste of money then.
[Andrés] Sometimes they get in, but…
I was here one night and they came in.
-They didn't run off.
-It's because they aren't scared of you.
I was sleeping up there
and they were down here.
-I threw stones, but they didn't leave.
-[Augusto] Holy Mary!
You wouldn't believe it.
[Augusto] Shame you didn't have a rifle
to shoot them.
I had one, but it didn't work.
-[Augusto] My God.
-It didn't shoot.
-[Augusto] The ramrod was missing.
-[laughs] Right.
The ramrod was missing.
What do you think?
-It's good.
-The trip, I mean.
It sounds good to me. It's up to you.
-It's up to me?
-You're the boss.
It's up to both of us. I'm not the boss.
-You are.
-We both need to decide.
See what we agree on.
It's agreed. Whatever you want.
No, it's not up to me.
-You have to have your say too.
-I'm at your disposal.
Well, we have to…
We have to go, right?
Of course.
You won't have a chance like this again.
We've never been on a trip or anything.
That's why we should go.
-We should make the most of it…
-As you wish.
…now that we have a chance.
If you go to the beach,
you have to wear a swimsuit.
You can't cover your body up all the time.
-[Nati] Because you say so.
-You have to show it off.
-[Nati] I'll wear what I…
-Show Spain what you're made of.
I'll wear what I want.
-You'll want to.
-No.
All the women wear one--
I don't want to dress the same.
They'll stare at me even more.
No.
-They'd say, "Look at her."
-"What a woman."
-Dressing the same is no fun.
-"She looks amazing for her age."
There's no point
and some of them are older than me.
-You'll see.
-[chuckles] Of course they are.
-[Augusto] Careful, don't fall.
-How will I fall?
Look at your arm.
You got burned.
If I don't take care of you,
you don't bother taking care of yourself.
But careful you don't fall.
-How will I fall?
-You're messing around.
I'm not messing around.
-Let me give you a kiss.
-Look who's messing around now!
You're not getting away today! Come!
Hey!
Hey! You're getting cocky!
Cocky guy!
[chuckling] Well, you're a treasure!
Come here, give me a kiss.
-All right.
-[chuckles]
I'll give you 14 kisses.
How much you wanna bet
I'll touch your boobs?
You skinny little smart ass!
[laughs]
You, I love and I adore.
I'm going to buy you a boar.
[Augusto chuckling]
[car honking faintly]
[honking]
[Nati] Do you have chocolate cakes?
[man] Only ones that have been ordered.
-[Julia] You said you had some.
-[man] Yes, the ones people have ordered.
[Nati] And…
what biscuits do you have?
[man] Biscuits and sponge cake.
-Those are the ones they're making.
-[Nati] Only those?
[Julia mutters]
-[Nati] What are those round ones?
-Orange.
Almond shortbread,
traditional, and sweet egg.
-[Nati] Give me the shortbread. I'll take…
-Traditional?
-Or almond?
-[Julia] Almond.
-[Nati] No, not almond.
-So traditional ones.
-I can't chew them.
-[Julia] You can't?
-[bells jingling]
-[grunts]
[Andrés calling goats]
[bells jingling]
[Andrés exclaims]
Garbosa is growing a bit of a belly.
[Augusto] Look at her eat.
-[Andrés] She's getting fat, see?
-[Augusto] She likes to eat.
[Andrés] So what?
[Pascual] She eats
what the others leave behind.
[Augusto] The beasts are…
very choosy.
[Andrés] Have you seen
the size of her belly?
[Augusto] Ah.
She's pregnant!
-[Andrés calling goats]
-[goats bleating]
[Augusto chuckles] Look at them run.
-[Andrés] Good runners.
-[Augusto] They're cute when they play.
No wonder there are wild animals here,
with all the forest.
In the stream, I saw two big wild boars
as big as donkeys.
-Yeah.
-We've seen them a few times.
-They come to drink.
-Of course.
They…
Animals are intelligent.
They look for clean water.
Seven.
Six.
Seventy-six, seventy…
seven.
Let's see. Green button.
[automated voice] The number
you've dialed isn't in service.
Bugger.
Check the number and dial again.
If you need assistance,
please call our customer service center.
Thank you.
Five, seven, one,
five, five, four…
That's it. Let's see…
[automated voice] Company information.
Again?
The number you have dialed
is not in service.
I can't hear anything.
Maybe there's no signal.
[automated voice] Hello, how are you?
This is the automatic
voice messaging service.
Please leave your message
after the sound of the beep.
-[beeps]
-The same nonsense again.
[line ringing]
[woman] Hello?
Hello, good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
I can't remember if we're departing
at 7:00 a.m. or 8:00 a.m.
-[woman] At 8:30.
-At 8:00--
[woman] At 8:30.
At 8:30.
Is the departure point next to the Oasis?
-That's it, in front of the Oasis.
-Very good.
-You know where Gómez furniture store is?
-Yes.
Right there at the entrance.
And what time will we arrive?
When will we get to where we're going?
Well… we'll stop off
for a coffee halfway there,
and we should arrive around 12:00 noon.
-Very good.
-Around 12:00 or 12:30.
Is the place all right?
Have you ever been there?
Yes, we've been there before.
It's nice. The beach is lovely.
Everything is great.
[snoring softly]
[snoring continues]
When I didn't want to wake up early…
you'd tell me to leave the shutters open
and I would.
When you'd fall asleep,
I'd get up to close them.
Oh!
-You crafty devil!
-And then…
-[Nati] There was no light.
-"I think I feel like…
getting up, but I…"
And I'd say, "It's not daytime yet.
See how dark it is?"
[Nati] Mmm.
-It was dark.
-[Augusto laughs]
-Like the guy who went to Madrid…
-[laughing]
…and spent three days and nights…
without seeing daylight.
He said, "Nights are long in Madrid.
The sun never comes up."
-Of course, they'd closed all…
-Oh, dear!
…all the shutters, left him in the dark.
[Nati] You'd say…
[Augusto] And you'd say,
"Tonight seems longer than other nights."
[chuckling]
Like that guy.
He said, "You have to go to Madrid.
The nights are so long there."
If we were the same as back then…
if we were 20 or 30 years old…
We've enjoyed that already.
We have.
Some don't live to tell it.
You always had to get up early
to tend to the livestock.
[Augusto] Yes, the livestock.
When morning comes
and you reach out
and there's no one beside you…
that's very hard.
You need your wife.
You're in bed, she's by your side,
and you reach out…
and see the thing you need the most…
and say, "What a beauty."
May God take care of her
for years to come.
SUMMER
[man on mic] An activity we recommend
for Saturday morning
is zumba on the beach.
In the afternoon,
we'll do the little boat trip.
That's all. Have a safe trip and enjoy!
[passenger whistling]
[Nati] Go ahead. It will open.
Maybe it's not like the other one.
[mutters]
That's it.
It's being a pain in the ass.
[Nati] Wow, look at the view.
-Is that the beach?
-It's the beach.
-[Augusto] Be careful, don't fall.
-[Nati] My goodness.
Oh!
You can see it really well from here.
It's lovely.
[Augusto] Wow.
Look at the sea.
If you look over there, it's all blue.
-But it's blue over there too.
-[Nati] It's endless.
[Augusto] It's endless.
It goes all the way around.
[Nati exclaims]
Gosh, the big waves.
It's scary.
Imagine this in Marchenica.
-[Augusto] It's very flat here.
-Gosh, those big waves!
[Augusto] Look, it comes
and doesn't go beyond its limit.
It doesn't go further than the tideline.
[Nati] It doesn't stop moving. Look.
It doesn't stop because it's windy.
When it's windy, the sea moves.
-What huge waves!
-The water is very strong.
That's why it moves.
Goodness me.
[upbeat guitar music playing]
[Augusto] There we go.
Rub some in down there.
[upbeat guitar music continues]
-[Nati] You're not scared anymore.
-You should have come with me.
-[Nati] And cross the sea?
-To have some fun together.
[Nati] To cross to the other side?
Touch my hands. Feel how smooth they are.
[Nati] You've got salt on your hands.
[Augusto] Are you going in now?
If not, I'll take you by the arm.
[Nati] All right. If you take me, I will.
-If you come.
-You're so brave.
[Nati] I don't know
what the water is like, if it's warm…
[Augusto] The water isn't freezing.
It's warm. It isn't freezing.
[Nati exclaims]
Good heavens.
[Augusto] My poor little bird ♪
Flying over the sea ♪
-Whoa!
-[Nati laughs]
Poor little bird
That just lived on singing ♪
A good one's coming. Here it is.
-There we go!
-[Nati laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
-[boy] You've never been on a boat before?
-No, son. It's the first time.
[boy] So you don't know
if you'll be seasick.
[laughs] No, but it's smoother here
than on the highway.
[woman] What will you be
when you grow up, Pablo?
I want to be a fighter pilot.
-[Augusto] A what pilot?
-Fighter pilot.
-Airplane pilot?
-Yes.
Very good.
[passengers laughing]
What do you do? Or what did you work as?
[both] In the countryside.
-[woman] In the countryside?
-I've been a shepherd all my life.
[woman] A shepherd? Gosh, Pablo.
-That's a disappearing trade.
-[Augusto] It's disappearing, yes.
-[woman] It is.
-Half of the shepherds travel by car.
[woman] What do you mean, "by car"?
Yes, we've seen shepherds in cars.
Ask Dad.
[both] Yes.
-[both] Yes.
-Ask him. He'll tell you.
[woman on TV] This show has become
an ally to our elders,
where they express themselves,
they are listened to,
and most importantly,
they have the chance to find a partner.
Elderly people who have never had
or who have lost their loved one
and lived a single life,
who are widowed
and have worked their whole lives,
especially in the countryside,
in our villages.
People from the rural areas
who looked up one day
to see themselves wrinkled and lonely.
Just when they most need to be
with someone…
[Augusto] Come on.
Gorgeous, it's time now.
-[Nati] Time?
-To get back up.
Am I crazy
or do you get prettier each day?
Hold on to my neck. Tighter.
Hold on tight.
[grunts] Come on, tight!
-I almost pulled your neck off.
-Yes, you want to strangle me.
Come on, another push.
-[Nati] Up.
-Up you go.
[woman] The wild boars come here
to eat and sleep every night.
-[woman] They eat everything.
-[man] That's for sure.
[driver] Every day there are
more wild boars and animals.
[Nati] They've nowhere to go.
They grow in numbers.
Look where they get into.
-[driver] Inside the houses.
-[Nati] In the houses.
[Nati] My goodness.
[woman] They got in last night.
[Nati] This is the only place
where there are crops,
so they come here.
They aren't daft.
[crickets chirping]
[dogs barking]
-[Andrés] Can you hear them?
-Yes.
-[Andrés] Look at them.
-[Augusto] Look!
-[calling animals]
-[dog barking]
[Augusto] They're silent now.
-[calling animals]
-[Andrés] The dogs have seen them too.
-[Andrés] I think I can see them there.
-[Augusto] Yes.
[Andrés] Look over there. See them?
Look at them.
They're moving over there. See?
-Look, yes. Look at them.
-[dog barking]
[Augusto mutters]
-[Andrés] The dogs saw them first.
-[Augusto] Gosh.
-They're enormous beasts!
-[Andrés] Did you see?
[Augusto mimics animal]
Stay still. Let's see if they come closer.
Those ones are coming over.
[barking continues]
-We need a rifle here.
-[Andrés] We've got one.
All those rifles we used to have…
-They're right here!
-[animal squealing]
Wow! It got bit by the boar.
-We should shoot them.
-[Augusto] The dogs are ready to go.
We have to shoot the flare
to see if they go.
-[flare crackling]
-[all exclaiming and chuckling]
-[Augusto] Holy moly, that went quick!
-[all chuckling]
-[Augusto] What's it made of? Wow!
-[Andrés chuckling] Look at that smoke.
[chuckling] This is how
we spent the night.
[laughing] That's a night well spent.
We've plenty of meat for some time.
-[Andrés] It's not a small one.
-[both laughing]
I think we got at least two.
-I reckon we got two.
-They won't snore anymore.
[both laughing heartily]
Pascual didn't hear them.
Not a thing
and he wanted to leave without meat.
He likes eating it.
You have to wait
until it's time for the slaughter.
[both laughing heartily]
FALL
[thunder rumbling faintly]
[gentle guitar music playing]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[guitar music continues]
[gentle guitar music continues]
[guitar music continues]
Augusto isn't answering.
[siren wailing]
[exclaims softly]
-Augusto, good morning. How are you?
-Good morning.
-Pretty good, considering, and you?
-Great.
-[Augusto] How's your wife?
-Better, thank you.
You can sit. You don't need to stand up.
-But I want to take this off.
-Okay.
-Because it's not cold in here.
-Mmm-hmm.
[nurse] The heart attack
was quite a scare, wasn't it?
[Augusto] Yes, of course it was.
[nurse] But you responded well
and that's what matters.
-You need to take care of yourself.
-Sure.
I bet you're looking forward
to going to Marchenica.
[Augusto] I'm already thinking about it.
[nurse] All fixed up, like every day.
-[Augusto] Great.
-All set.
-You can freshen up.
-Thank you.
-[Nati] You don't remember, do you?
-Not a thing.
[Nati] When I held your hand like this
and touched you here.
-[Augusto] It was too much.
-I touched your head and your face.
But…
I said, "I don't think he can hear me."
The doctor said, "No."
"He's out of it."
Then I touched you here, on your chest.
Like this.
Of course. And round your neck.
Your hands were like this.
Like this.
There.
This one like this.
Yes.
[soft guitar music playing]
[Nati] Look at the olive trees.
Lovely and green.
[Augusto] They don't need watering.
Good heavens.
[Augusto] Look who's here,
María and Julia.
My goodness.
-[Nati] They're sunbathing.
-Two good-looking ladies.
[María] You bet.
-Good morning.
-[Andrés] Good morning, thanks to God.
-[Augusto] How are you?
-[Andrés] Fine. How are you?
-Are you good?
-[Augusto] I'm fine too.
-[Andrés] That's what we need.
-[Augusto] Hello, how are you?
-[Julia] I'm fine.
-[Andrés] How are you?
[Julia] I thought we wouldn't
see you again.
[Augusto] Yes, if it's God's will.
It's in God's hands.
[Julia] As long as he's fine…
-[Andrés] We had no idea.
-I didn't say anything when I left.
[Andrés] We didn't know.
I asked Nati if she knew where you were.
I asked around
if anyone knew where you were.
[Augusto] It was like getting shot.
I asked Nati,
"What happened to Augusto?
I haven't seen him."
-I expected you to be here. As always.
-As always.
[indistinct chatter]
-[sniffling]
-Hey, don't… don't cry, come on.
It's all in God's hands, dear.
-[Nati] See?
-[Augusto] Don't cry about it.
-[Nati] What can we do? Keep going.
-[Augusto] Exactly.
[Nati] We have to look back.
-Others are worse off.
-[Nati] There are.
-[Julia] Yes.
-[Nati] Sure.
[Julia] Come here, Nati. It's sunny here.
WINTER

[axe cutting]
-[woman on TV] The countdown begins!
-[man 1] Here we go!
-[woman] Take your grapes.
-[man 2] Any second now!
[man 1] Very important not to choke.
-[man 2] There it goes!

[crowd cheering on TV]
-[Andrés] And twelve.
-[woman on TV] Happy New Year 2020!
-[Nati mutters]
-[woman on TV] Happy New Year, everyone!
[Augusto] It went well.
[woman on TV] …from this beautiful square
in Tomelloso.
[man] A year full of happiness
that will bring good wishes,
good intentions, and that will bring you
the best of the best.
-[woman] We wish you…
-[man] Happy 2020.
-[woman] Lots of love, health…
-[Nati] Happy new year.
-Happy new year.
-Happy new year, my friend.
-[Andrés] Augusto, sing a song.
-[Augusto] Which one?
-[Nati vocalizing]
-[Augusto] That chicken song?
The one about the chickens?
The one about the hen.
-[music playing on TV]
-[Nati and Augusto singing]
[both laughing]
-[Julia and Augusto exclaim]
-[Nati continues singing]
[Nati and Andrés singing]
Yes, that's a good one.
[music continues on TV]
[music crescendos and stops]
[dog barking faintly]
[Augusto] Sleep little baby
The bogeyman's coming ♪
This will relax you before bedtime.
It'll help you sleep better.
Who would have thought
you'd be sitting here
in my father's chair…
being rocked at the age of 70?
More than that.
Not 70, 77.
[Nati] Two sevens.
It looks like it's relaxed you.
-It feels good, right?
-Oh, yes, I feel like new.
[Augusto laughing]
[Augusto exclaims]
[Nati] You bet I do.
[Augusto laughing]
This is why we need company until the end.
[Nati] Until the end.
Those guys that look for a partner
when they're old…
we say, "they must be crazy,"
but they're bored of being on their own.
They need a bit of company.
If it's a nice day tomorrow,
I'll take you for a walk.

-That's not how it goes! I can't remember.

Gosh!

I… I lack intensity.
My poor throat.
[Nati] So you're gonna renew
your driver's license?
[Augusto] My age is what I can't renew.
-[Nati] Yes, you can.
-The license isn't the problem.
-The problem is my age.
-[Nati] Not at all!
If you can see, you can drive.
If you see the road.
They should make cars for that too.
They will.
So they can drive on their own.
-Without a driver.
-Some already do.
-But they're not here yet.
-They won't come.
We'll be gone before they get here.
We're not going anywhere yet.
We still have a lot of things to do.
If you're fine where you are,
why go somewhere else?
That's true.
-[receptionist] Augusto Fernández?
-Melgarejo. [clears throat]
[mutters indistinctly]
-[receptionist] Augusto?
-Yes, ma'am.
[woman] Augusto, look
at the little black ball in front of you.
-[Augusto] Okay.
-[woman] Can you sign here on this gadget?
That's the signature
that'll be on your license.
[monitor beeping]
[beeping continues]
Very good.
Let's continue. Stand up for a moment.
Stretch your arms out in front.
Put your legs together a bit.
Close your eyes.
Very good. Same again.
There.
Close your eyes.
-[optometrist] Which side is open?
-On the left.
[optometrist] And this one?
That one on the top.
-[optometrist] And this one?
-On the right.
-[optometrist] This one?
-Huh? Where?
That one nowhere. I can't see it.
-[optometrist] You can't see it?
-No.
[optometrist] And this one?
That one… on the le…
It's round!
[Nati] Andrés!
Hello?
Andrés, it's me. Nati.
We don't have a car because Augusto…
he went for his test, but he didn't pass.
For his driver's license.
We don't have…
We need help getting to Marchenica.
We have no car.
He can't drive.
Okay.
Bye.
[Augusto] Well, before we went in our car.
-[Andrés] Very good.
-[Nati] Now we need you to take us.
[Andrés] That's what I'm here for.
Why can't you drive your car?
-Because--
-[Augusto] Because I can't.
He can't because of his reflexes.
-My eyesight, my feet--
-His eyesight and everything is failing.
-He's 83. Where can we go?
-They hurt a lot, so I can't.
ANDRÉS
FRIEND
-Nati, how old are you? Around 70?
-I'm 77 years old.
-[Andrés] 77?
-Yes.
How long have you been with Augusto?
We've been together for 60 years.
-[Andrés] Sixty.
-[Nati] That's not common these days.
[Augusto] People don't stay together long.
[Andrés] Not now.
-[Nati] You never know.
-[Augusto] New couples don't.
-[Nati] You never know. It depends.
-[Andrés] Hopefully some do.
-[Nati] You never know. It depends.
-[Andrés] Let's hope they do.
You've got to persevere until the end.
-You have to work at it, yes.
-And put up with a lot.
Who won over who? Nati or Augusto?
-[Augusto] She did. She won me over.
-She did?
[Augusto] She had a bar
where they sold wine and liquor.
-[Andrés] You went there…
-I saw her behind the counter.
-I said, "Pour me a glass of anisette."
-[chuckles]
-She poured me the best she had.
-"I saw her."
[Andrés] Did she? Because she had the best
or just to be good to you?
-She wanted to get me drunk to trick me.
-[Andrés] Oh, right.
-She poured me the strongest one.
-[Andrés] Wow.
-Is that the truth, Nati?
-I can't remember anymore.
Augusto, did you have to ask her father?
-[Augusto] I didn't ask him.
-Nothing? You just took her?
[Augusto] Just like that.
We had a wedding.
-[Andrés] In secret or what?
-[Augusto] No, a proper one.
[Nati] But I got the best…
-The best in the world.
-[Andrés] Oh!
[Nati] To have been together for 60 years,
I don't think…
[Andrés] Sixty, sure.
It's a beautiful story.
-[Nati] Look at the almond trees.
-[Andrés] Do you have almond trees?
[Augusto] We have a few up there.
[Andrés] Enough for yourselves?
[Nati] For the deer.
That's all there is now…
MARCHENICA, JAÉN

-Yes.
[yelps] Oh, my God!
-That was quite a bump!
-Take this.

[calling donkeys]
WINTER
[Nati] Andrés and Julia, one,
and María, two neighbors.
-Three neighbors.
-[Augusto] And when we're there, four.
-[Nati] Right.
-So, eight in total.
[Nati] Eight neighbors
between the two farmhouses.
That's right.
There used to be more.
-There were 20 before…
-There are 12 less.
[Nati] There were 20 or 22.
-[Augusto] That's it.
-[Nati] Yes.
Back then.
[Augusto] Women don't have
kids these days.
[Nati] It's on the decline.
Now all that's left are…
[Augusto] The mountain goats
and wild boars…
are taking over.
[Nati] They already have.
-They're not afraid of anything.
-[Augusto] Nature park.
[Nati] They made it for them,
for the deer and wild animals.
[Julia] How big shall we make them?
[Nati] Well… not too big.
-Here.
-[Nati] Shall I bring this over?
Which one?
JULIA
NEIGHBOR
Take them over there.
ANDRÉS
JULIA'S HUSBAND
[Andrés coughs]
[Augusto] The first stoking is
what makes it.
-[Andrés] I think it needs more.
-Wow, it needs a lot more.
-[Julia] Is it too big?
-[Nati] No, that's fine.
PASCUAL
NEIGHBOR
Bring another one.
-There's one left, Andrés.
-[Julia] Three more are there.
[Andrés] When I came from there,
there were
[Augusto] Get out of the way, Pascual,
or they'll hit you.
-[Pascual] Almost ready.
-[Augusto] What matters is that it bakes.
-[Nati] There's that smell.
-They will all be the same.
[Andrés] I can't go faster.
[Augusto] Close the door.
Without heat, they won't rise.
[Julia] They're burning.
Yes, they are. Can't you see?
-[Julia] Not baked properly.
-[Andrés] Not baked?
[Nati] Of course it is!
[Augusto] It burned because of the paper.
[Julia] It's not baked.
-[Andrés] She says they're not baked.
-[Nati] I think they are.
What? You should have spent time
in the Sahara.
-[Andrés] The goat is going for a walk.
-[Augusto] She needs a companion.
-[Andrés] No.
-[Augusto] Because alone…
-If she had a companion, she wouldn't…
-[Augusto] She's alone…
-[Andrés] She isn't as she should be.
-She's scared.
-She won't walk with me if she has one.
-[Augusto] She's used to being alone.
[Andrés] For her to be well,
she has to be alone.
I mean for her to walk with us.
-With another goat, she wouldn't.
-[Augusto] No.
That's quite a load you've got
on the donkey.
Are you going back for more?
[Augusto] Another trip.
Careful with the goat.
She's fixated on the pine tree.
[Andrés chuckling]
[Augusto mutters]
Pull it that way.
Don't pull too hard or you'll unplug it.
Slowly.
-[Nati] I can't really see it either.
-Mmm.
-[festive music playing softly on speaker]
-Wow!
We're a pair of artists!
[festive music continues]
[Nati] Put it there.
-Over there.
-Makes no difference.
[exclaims softly]
Bingo!
[music continues softly on speaker]
Looks good all dressed up.
It's got lights everywhere.
-The best part is how the lights change.
-Yes. It's nice.
[festive music continues faintly]
-[crickets chirping]
-[owl hoots]
[birds chirping]
[Nati] Oh!
-Look what we have here.
-[Augusto] What's all this?
My goodness.
-[Nati] The Three Kings!
-Look what they brought for us!
-[Nati] How wonderful!
-My word!
Look what we have here.
You guessed right. That's yours.
-[Nati] Let's open them here.
-Nativity.
[Nati] Oh, what a surprise!
-[Augusto] I'm going to get mine.
-No, this one first.
-[Augusto] I don't want anyone to nab it.
-Huh?
-[Augusto] Don't want anyone to nab it.
-This one first, then the other one.
[Augusto] Oh, there are more!
[Nati] Oh!
[sneezes loudly]
-What do you think?
-I caught a cold, people.
Wow!
[Nati] Great. This is warm.
It's beautiful.
What a robe the Three Kings brought you!
[Nati] Fabulous!
I guessed it was this.
Sure.
It's a bit small for you.
Are the sleeves good?
-I mean…
-Let's see the other side.
That's how it goes.
-Leave it like that.
-Let me see.
This has to go up. Wait.
Move your hands.
-I don't trust you. You hurt me.
-Oh, you're a softy today.
-[gentle melody playing]
-[sawing]
[gentle melody continues]
ROQUE
SON
AUGUSTO JR.
SON
[Augusto] Five, six, seven…
eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve.
Eleven…
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
and sixteen.
-Eighteen.
-[car approaching]
[Roque] We can empty them
into the trailer.
[Augusto] Don't overload the car.
Better to do another trip.
[man] No. Better to do one less.
[Augusto] We still have…
a whole world out there to discover.
[Nati] Now it's time to enjoy ourselves
and go to…
[Augusto] Go have a blast.
-[Nati] And party.
-Of course.
[Nati] Go on vacation and stuff.
-[Nati] It's our time now.
-Go to the beach since you've never been.
[Nati] Mmm.
[Augusto] What will you do if I go?
-Find someone else?
-Yup.
As soon as I'm done with you,
I'll find another.
-I don't want to be alone.
-[Augusto] Boy, you're a real live wire.
You can't lose your spirit.
[Augusto] You're…
-[clears throat]
-Stronger every day.
-[Augusto] You're a demon!
-You bet…
You have to be ready
for what comes your way.
Otherwise, you're lost.
The thing is you know me.
You're really good to me.
-You do things the way I like them.
-Of course.
You deserve it.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe.
Of course you do.
-Then why did we get together?
-That's true.
To each go our own way?
Why do people get together
for a short time?
-Get together and part a year later.
-Change partners.
It sounds like a farce.
It's right for them.
I'm not sure it's right to do.
-Of course.
-I don't see much future in that.
[car engine running]
-[Roque] See you later!
-[Nati] Okay, son, goodbye.
-[Augusto] Safe journey. Bye.
-Safe journey!
-[Roque] You have to come to Elche.
-[both] Okay.
[Nati] All right, bye.
He's driving without a license.
[Nati] And… yes.
And look how he drives.
He can drive,
but he doesn't have a license.
-[Nati] Yes.
-But anyway…
[mutters]
[Augusto] My feet are freezing.
[Nati] This is my favorite time of year.
This season.
-Winter.
-[Augusto] You can have it.
If you like it, it's all yours.
[Nati] We're so high up here.
[Augusto] That's why you're so tough,
because the land is tough.
[Nati] I did lay on the snow
and I wasn't even cold.
[Augusto] You've never felt the cold.
I sought you out because you're strong.
-[Nati] No--
-You were warm.
-[Nati] I was strong and I still am.
-Still? Be quiet.
[coughs] You have to be
strong at this age.
[Nati] You have to be. Like a warrior.
[both chuckling]
[Augusto] My God.
If you don't face the obstacles,
they take you down too.
SPRING
-[jovial music playing]
-[birds chirping]
[Nati] Can you hear?
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
[Augusto] If you wake up at dawn,
the birds are singing their hearts out
because there's no noise.
-Exactly when the sun rises.
-[Nati] They have such a good ear.
[Augusto] They're so intelligent.
-[Nati] They're beautiful.
-And depending on the kind of bird.
[Nati] Absolutely.
[Augusto] Antbirds like to be
in the darkest place they can find
with lots of brushwood.
Animals are pretty clever.
-People can be bad seeds. Look.
-[Nati] Oh, well, maybe…
[Augusto] Look at what they've taken.
What do they get out of it?
-[Nati] Precisely that.
-Good-for-nothings.
[Nati] Wow!
-[Augusto] There it is.
-The good weather is here now.
[Augusto laughs]
-[Nati] It's close now, huh?
-It's near Manuel's farmhouse.
[Nati] But I can only hear one.
[Augusto] Because they sound the same.
Maybe one sings and then another.
-[Nati] There aren't many.
-No, only a few.
-[Nati] Just a few.
-They come in pairs.
-[bird singing]
-[Nati] Hear that?
-[Augusto] That's the male.
-[Nati imitates bird]
[Augusto] The female sings differently.
Birds never fly alone.
They take their partner.
[Nati] So they should.
Birds are meant to reproduce.
If they go alone, they don't reproduce.
So they would miss
the essence of life.
[bird singing]
-[Nati] Listen!
-That's the same one. That's the male.
-[Nati] It is the same one.
-The female sings differently.
[Augusto] Did you water
the garden, Pascual?
[Pascual muttering]
[Augusto] Where's Andrés?
I haven't seen him today.
Does the electric fence work for you?
[Andrés] It seems like it does
for the wild boars.
All right.
[Andrés] When it's turned on,
fewer come over.
It isn't a waste of money then.
[Andrés] Sometimes they get in, but…
I was here one night and they came in.
-They didn't run off.
-It's because they aren't scared of you.
I was sleeping up there
and they were down here.
-I threw stones, but they didn't leave.
-[Augusto] Holy Mary!
You wouldn't believe it.
[Augusto] Shame you didn't have a rifle
to shoot them.
I had one, but it didn't work.
-[Augusto] My God.
-It didn't shoot.
-[Augusto] The ramrod was missing.
-[laughs] Right.
The ramrod was missing.
What do you think?
-It's good.
-The trip, I mean.
It sounds good to me. It's up to you.
-It's up to me?
-You're the boss.
It's up to both of us. I'm not the boss.
-You are.
-We both need to decide.
See what we agree on.
It's agreed. Whatever you want.
No, it's not up to me.
-You have to have your say too.
-I'm at your disposal.
Well, we have to…
We have to go, right?
Of course.
You won't have a chance like this again.
We've never been on a trip or anything.
That's why we should go.
-We should make the most of it…
-As you wish.
…now that we have a chance.
If you go to the beach,
you have to wear a swimsuit.
You can't cover your body up all the time.
-[Nati] Because you say so.
-You have to show it off.
-[Nati] I'll wear what I…
-Show Spain what you're made of.
I'll wear what I want.
-You'll want to.
-No.
All the women wear one--
I don't want to dress the same.
They'll stare at me even more.
No.
-They'd say, "Look at her."
-"What a woman."
-Dressing the same is no fun.
-"She looks amazing for her age."
There's no point
and some of them are older than me.
-You'll see.
-[chuckles] Of course they are.
-[Augusto] Careful, don't fall.
-How will I fall?
Look at your arm.
You got burned.
If I don't take care of you,
you don't bother taking care of yourself.
But careful you don't fall.
-How will I fall?
-You're messing around.
I'm not messing around.
-Let me give you a kiss.
-Look who's messing around now!
You're not getting away today! Come!
Hey!
Hey! You're getting cocky!
Cocky guy!
[chuckling] Well, you're a treasure!
Come here, give me a kiss.
-All right.
-[chuckles]
I'll give you 14 kisses.
How much you wanna bet
I'll touch your boobs?
You skinny little smart ass!
[laughs]
You, I love and I adore.
I'm going to buy you a boar.
[Augusto chuckling]
[car honking faintly]
[honking]
[Nati] Do you have chocolate cakes?
[man] Only ones that have been ordered.
-[Julia] You said you had some.
-[man] Yes, the ones people have ordered.
[Nati] And…
what biscuits do you have?
[man] Biscuits and sponge cake.
-Those are the ones they're making.
-[Nati] Only those?
[Julia mutters]
-[Nati] What are those round ones?
-Orange.
Almond shortbread,
traditional, and sweet egg.
-[Nati] Give me the shortbread. I'll take…
-Traditional?
-Or almond?
-[Julia] Almond.
-[Nati] No, not almond.
-So traditional ones.
-I can't chew them.
-[Julia] You can't?
-[bells jingling]
-[grunts]
[Andrés calling goats]
[bells jingling]
[Andrés exclaims]
Garbosa is growing a bit of a belly.
[Augusto] Look at her eat.
-[Andrés] She's getting fat, see?
-[Augusto] She likes to eat.
[Andrés] So what?
[Pascual] She eats
what the others leave behind.
[Augusto] The beasts are…
very choosy.
[Andrés] Have you seen
the size of her belly?
[Augusto] Ah.
She's pregnant!
-[Andrés calling goats]
-[goats bleating]
[Augusto chuckles] Look at them run.
-[Andrés] Good runners.
-[Augusto] They're cute when they play.
No wonder there are wild animals here,
with all the forest.
In the stream, I saw two big wild boars
as big as donkeys.
-Yeah.
-We've seen them a few times.
-They come to drink.
-Of course.
They…
Animals are intelligent.
They look for clean water.
Seven.
Six.
Seventy-six, seventy…
seven.

[line ringing]
[woman] Hello?
Hello, good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
I can't remember if we're departing
at 7:00 a.m. or 8:00 a.m.
-[woman] At 8:30.
-At 8:00--
[woman] At 8:30.
At 8:30.
Is the departure point next to the Oasis?
-That's it, in front of the Oasis.
-Very good.
-You know where Gómez furniture store is?
-Yes.
Right there at the entrance.
And what time will we arrive?
When will we get to where we're going?
Well… we'll stop off
for a coffee halfway there,
and we should arrive around 12:00 noon.
-Very good.
-Around 12:00 or 12:30.
Is the place all right?
Have you ever been there?
Yes, we've been there before.
It's nice. The beach is lovely.
Everything is great.
[snoring softly]
[snoring continues]
When I didn't want to wake up early…
you'd tell me to leave the shutters open
and I would.
When you'd fall asleep,
I'd get up to close them.
Oh!
-You crafty devil!
-And then…
-[Nati] There was no light.
-"I think I feel like…
getting up, but I…"
And I'd say, "It's not daytime yet.
See how dark it is?"
[Nati] Mmm.
-It was dark.
-[Augusto laughs]
-Like the guy who went to Madrid…
-[laughing]
…and spent three days and nights…
without seeing daylight.
He said, "Nights are long in Madrid.
The sun never comes up."
-Of course, they'd closed all…
-Oh, dear!
…all the shutters, left him in the dark.
[Nati] You'd say…
[Augusto] And you'd say,
"Tonight seems longer than other nights."
[chuckling]
Like that guy.
He said, "You have to go to Madrid.
The nights are so long there."
If we were the same as back then…
if we were 20 or 30 years old…
We've enjoyed that already.
We have.
Some don't live to tell it.
You always had to get up early
to tend to the livestock.
[Augusto] Yes, the livestock.
When morning comes
and you reach out
and there's no one beside you…
that's very hard.
You need your wife.
You're in bed, she's by your side,
and you reach out…
and see the thing you need the most…
and say, "What a beauty."
May God take care of her
for years to come.
SUMMER
[man on mic] An activity we recommend
for Saturday morning
is zumba on the beach.
In the afternoon,
we'll do the little boat trip.
That's all. Have a safe trip and enjoy!
[passenger whistling]
[Nati] Go ahead. It will open.
Maybe it's not like the other one.
[mutters]
That's it.
It's being a pain in the ass.
[Nati] Wow, look at the view.
-Is that the beach?
-It's the beach.
-[Augusto] Be careful, don't fall.
-[Nati] My goodness.
Oh!
You can see it really well from here.
It's lovely.
[Augusto] Wow.
Look at the sea.
If you look over there, it's all blue.
-But it's blue over there too.
-[Nati] It's endless.
[Augusto] It's endless.
It goes all the way around.
[Nati exclaims]
Gosh, the big waves.
It's scary.
Imagine this in Marchenica.
-[Augusto] It's very flat here.
-Gosh, those big waves!
[Augusto] Look, it comes
and doesn't go beyond its limit.
It doesn't go further than the tideline.
[Nati] It doesn't stop moving. Look.
It doesn't stop because it's windy.
When it's windy, the sea moves.
-What huge waves!
-The water is very strong.
That's why it moves.
Goodness me.
[upbeat guitar music playing]
[Augusto] There we go.
Rub some in down there.
[upbeat guitar music continues]
-[Nati] You're not scared anymore.
-You should have come with me.
-[Nati] And cross the sea?
-To have some fun together.
[Nati] To cross to the other side?
Touch my hands. Feel how smooth they are.
[Nati] You've got salt on your hands.
[Augusto] Are you going in now?
If not, I'll take you by the arm.
[Nati] All right. If you take me, I will.
-If you come.
-You're so brave.
[Nati] I don't know
what the water is like, if it's warm…
[Augusto] The water isn't freezing.
It's warm. It isn't freezing.
[Nati exclaims]
Good heavens.
[Augusto] My poor little bird ♪
Flying over the sea ♪
-Whoa!
-[Nati laughs]
Poor little bird
That just lived on singing ♪
A good one's coming. Here it is.
-There we go!
-[Nati laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
-[boy] You've never been on a boat before?
-No, son. It's the first time.
[boy] So you don't know
if you'll be seasick.
[laughs] No, but it's smoother here
than on the highway.
[woman] What will you be
when you grow up, Pablo?
I want to be a fighter pilot.
-[Augusto] A what pilot?
-Fighter pilot.
-Airplane pilot?
-Yes.
Very good.
[passengers laughing]
What do you do? Or what did you work as?
[both] In the countryside.
-[woman] In the countryside?
-I've been a shepherd all my life.
[woman] A shepherd? Gosh, Pablo.
-That's a disappearing trade.
-[Augusto] It's disappearing, yes.
-[woman] It is.
-Half of the shepherds travel by car.
[woman] What do you mean, "by car"?
Yes, we've seen shepherds in cars.
Ask Dad.
[both] Yes.
-[both] Yes.
-Ask him. He'll tell you.
[woman on TV] This show has become
an ally to our elders,
where they express themselves,
they are listened to,
and most importantly,
they have the chance to find a partner.
Elderly people who have never had
or who have lost their loved one
and lived a single life,
who are widowed
and have worked their whole lives,
especially in the countryside,
in our villages.
People from the rural areas
who looked up one day
to see themselves wrinkled and lonely.
Just when they most need to be
with someone…
[Augusto] Come on.
Gorgeous, it's time now.
-[Nati] Time?
-To get back up.
Am I crazy
or do you get prettier each day?
Hold on to my neck. Tighter.
Hold on tight.
[grunts] Come on, tight!
-I almost pulled your neck off.
-Yes, you want to strangle me.
Come on, another push.
-[Nati] Up.
-Up you go.
[woman] The wild boars come here
to eat and sleep every night.
-[woman] They eat everything.
-[man] That's for sure.
[driver] Every day there are
more wild boars and animals.
[Nati] They've nowhere to go.
They grow in numbers.
Look where they get into.
-[driver] Inside the houses.
-[Nati] In the houses.
[Nati] My goodness.
[woman] They got in last night.
[Nati] This is the only place
where there are crops,
so they come here.
They aren't daft.
[crickets chirping]
[dogs barking]
-[Andrés] Can you hear them?
-Yes.
-[Andrés] Look at them.
-[Augusto] Look!
-[calling animals]
-[dog barking]
[Augusto] They're silent now.
-[calling animals]
-[Andrés] The dogs have seen them too.
-[Andrés] I think I can see them there.
-[Augusto] Yes.
[Andrés] Look over there. See them?
Look at them.
They're moving over there. See?
-Look, yes. Look at them.
-[dog barking]
[Augusto mutters]
-[Andrés] The dogs saw them first.
-[Augusto] Gosh.
-They're enormous beasts!
-[Andrés] Did you see?
[Augusto mimics animal]
Stay still. Let's see if they come closer.
Those ones are coming over.
[barking continues]
-We need a rifle here.
-[Andrés] We've got one.
All those rifles we used to have…
-They're right here!
-[animal squealing]
Wow! It got bit by the boar.
-We should shoot them.
-[Augusto] The dogs are ready to go.
We have to shoot the flare
to see if they go.
-[flare crackling]
-[all exclaiming and chuckling]
-[Augusto] Holy moly, that went quick!
-[all chuckling]
-[Augusto] What's it made of? Wow!
-[Andrés chuckling] Look at that smoke.
[chuckling] This is how
we spent the night.
[laughing] That's a night well spent.
We've plenty of meat for some time.
-[Andrés] It's not a small one.
-[both laughing]
I think we got at least two.
-I reckon we got two.
-They won't snore anymore.
[both laughing heartily]
Pascual didn't hear them.
Not a thing
and he wanted to leave without meat.
He likes eating it.
You have to wait
until it's time for the slaughter.
[both laughing heartily]
FALL
[thunder rumbling faintly]
[gentle guitar music playing]
-[thunder rumbling]
-[guitar music continues]
[gentle guitar music continues]
[guitar music continues]
Augusto isn't answering.
[siren wailing]
[exclaims softly]
-Augusto, good morning. How are you?
-Good morning.
-Pretty good, considering, and you?
-Great.
-[Augusto] How's your wife?
-Better, thank you.
You can sit. You don't need to stand up.
-But I want to take this off.
-Okay.
-Because it's not cold in here.
-Mmm-hmm.
[nurse] The heart attack
was quite a scare, wasn't it?
[Augusto] Yes, of course it was.
[nurse] But you responded well
and that's what matters.
-You need to take care of yourself.
-Sure.
I bet you're looking forward
to going to Marchenica.
[Augusto] I'm already thinking about it.
[nurse] All fixed up, like every day.
-[Augusto] Great.
-All set.
-You can freshen up.
-Thank you.
-[Nati] You don't remember, do you?
-Not a thing.
[Nati] When I held your hand like this
and touched you here.
-[Augusto] It was too much.
-I touched your head and your face.
But…
I said, "I don't think he can hear me."
The doctor said, "No."
"He's out of it."
Then I touched you here, on your chest.
Like this.
Of course. And round your neck.
Your hands were like this.
Like this.
There.
This one like this.
Yes.
[soft guitar music playing]
[Nati] Look at the olive trees.
Lovely and green.
[Augusto] They don't need watering.
Good heavens.
[Augusto] Look who's here,
María and Julia.
My goodness.
-[Nati] They're sunbathing.
-Two good-looking ladies.
[María] You bet.
-Good morning.
-[Andrés] Good morning, thanks to God.
-[Augusto] How are you?
-[Andrés] Fine. How are you?
-Are you good?
-[Augusto] I'm fine too.
-[Andrés] That's what we need.
-[Augusto] Hello, how are you?
-[Julia] I'm fine.
-[Andrés] How are you?
[Julia] I thought we wouldn't
see you again.
[Augusto] Yes, if it's God's will.
It's in God's hands.
[Julia] As long as he's fine…
-[Andrés] We had no idea.
-I didn't say anything when I left.
[Andrés] We didn't know.
I asked Nati if she knew where you were.
I asked around
if anyone knew where you were.
[Augusto] It was like getting shot.
I asked Nati,
"What happened to Augusto?
I haven't seen him."
-I expected you to be here. As always.
-As always.
[indistinct chatter]
-[sniffling]
-Hey, don't… don't cry, come on.
It's all in God's hands, dear.
-[Nati] See?
-[Augusto] Don't cry about it.
-[Nati] What can we do? Keep going.
-[Augusto] Exactly.
[Nati] We have to look back.
-Others are worse off.
-[Nati] There are.
-[Julia] Yes.
-[Nati] Sure.
[Julia] Come here, Nati. It's sunny here.

-[woman on TV] Happy New Year 2020!
-[Nati mutters]
-[woman on TV] Happy New Year, everyone!
[Augusto] It went well.
[woman on TV] …from this beautiful square
in Tomelloso.
[man] A year full of happiness
that will bring good wishes,
good intentions, and that will bring you
the best of the best.
-[woman] We wish you…
-[man] Happy 2020.
-[woman] Lots of love, health…
-[Nati] Happy new year.
-Happy new year.
-Happy new year, my friend.
-[Andrés] Augusto, sing a song.
-[Augusto] Which one?
-[Nati vocalizing]
-[Augusto] That chicken song?
The one about the chickens?
The one about the hen.
-[music playing on TV]
-[Nati and Augusto singing]
[both laughing]
-[Julia and Augusto exclaim]
-[Nati continues singing]
[Nati and Andrés singing]
Yes, that's a good one.

[dog barking faintly]
[Augusto] Sleep little baby
The bogeyman's coming ♪
This will relax you before bedtime.
It'll help you sleep better.
Who would have thought
you'd be sitting here
in my father's chair…
being rocked at the age of 70?
More than that.
Not 70, 77.
[Nati] Two sevens.
It looks like it's relaxed you.
-It feels good, right?
-Oh, yes, I feel like new.
[Augusto laughing]
[Augusto exclaims]
[Nati] You bet I do.
[Augusto laughing]
This is why we need company until the end.
[Nati] Until the end.
Those guys that look for a partner
when they're old…
we say, "they must be crazy,"
but they're bored of being on their own.
They need a bit of company.
If it's a nice day tomorrow,
I'll take you for a walk.
