La Pecera (2023) Movie Script
1
You all right?
Yes! I'm coming.
Noelia?
I'm coming.
It's closed.
I'm coming!
What happened...?
I know.
Fuck!
Phew...
Come on.
I've already told you that
this cheap brand doesn't work.
Look how it unstocks.
Look.
What is that you hear?
This is the people of Vieques
standing up and fighting!
What is that you hear?
This is the people of Vieques
standing up and fighting!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY no!
Vieques, yes!
US NAVY, out! US NAVY out!
US NAVY, out!
US NAVY,
imperialist and terrorist!
US NAVY,
imperialist and terrorist!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY, no!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY, no!
Do you want me to boil
the potatoes?
Yes, please... I'm going to edit...
Yeah.
They are all out of their minds.
They want to see you.
They have phoned a lot of times.
To see when we will arrive.
OK.
That's it.
Um... Should we put...
capers in it?
No capers.
Stop it!
No...
Stop, stop, stop...
Take it easy with the mayonnaise.
A little bit.
That does not have any.
Why do we have to bring
the salad ourselves?
Nina likes my potato salad.
I haven't made it for her in a while.
Ah.
I'm gonna go get that
and I'll be right back, okay?
What's the matter with you?
Are you OK?
What are you doing?
I was playing here,
with the cloth.
I'm fine.
Did you take your pills?
Those pills make me nauseous.
Having your eyes
should be illegal
And even more if when you look
you only inspire to sin
That peculiar smile
of playing the lethal temptress...
Those skills you know
how to use to kill
Hi, darling...
Good to see you!
Thank you, me too.
Nina told me you're going to call
for the grant this year.
Still editing, you know.
Shot, shot, shot!
Shot, shot!
Look, don't let him see me...
Let's do it, anything goes here.
- Anything goes!
Happy birthday.
It's my birthday.
In one gulp.
And Jorge?
There, look.
- Yes, I saw him over there.
- Jorge!
Hey, I didn't see you.
Nina! How are you?
I love you!
I love you.
Come with me to the restroom.
Ah, okay.
Come on.
See you later...
Oh, that's a good "shot".
Isn't it?
"Ay mamacita."
How do you feel at 63?
You're so funny! I'm fine.
Admit it.
You have a lot of experiences to tell.
It's called accumulated youth.
You look wonderful,
you're keeping very well.
What have you got there?
I have a "freshie" for you.
A gift.
You've brought a nice present.
This is organic.
This has no pesticides in it.
There you go.
Oh, yeah...
Hot and sexy.
Here, I have to pee.
Okay.
Wait.
Look, I've been thinking...
You should tell him...
about the bleeding and the pain.
No.
I'm going to the doctor by myself.
I'd rather not say anything.
Why?
If I had told him,
I wouldn't be here.
You can't keep waiting, girl.
You could have stayed at home.
Come here,
whose friend are you?
Yours, silly.
"Hashtag Team Noelia."
I know the guy is very intense.
He has me overwhelmed.
Would you come with me?
Me?
Birthday girl?
Will you open up?
He's heard it all.
No, he hasn't...
He heard everything.
But open the door.
What's going on?
Were you putting perfume on?
Ah, well!
Hey...
Does it still have some?
A little birthday present.
Do you want some?
Let me see? Does it still have some?
This is from Susana.
Ah, thank you.
Where does this one come from?
Never mind, it's my birthday.
Why do you ask? It's my birthday.
To get more. It is good.
There's a girl
Come on!
who's just the same
But different from the others.
I see her every night
On the beach walking
Bravo!
And I don't know where she comes from
And I don't know where she's going
I've been dreaming about her for a long time now
And I only know her name is Noelia.
I've long lived for her
And I only know her name is Noelia.
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Bravo!
Bravo!
Did I surprise you?
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, Nina...
Happy birthday to you!
One wish, one wish, one wish!
Next one's yours.
You're way out of line today.
You said you were going to control yourself.
Give it to me.
Thank you.
I'm old enough to decide
if I want to finish a beer,
if I want to stuff myself with food,
whether I want to smoke,
which also helps me with the dizziness
from the damn pills.
Do what you want to do.
That's what I'm going to do,
thank you.
Next stop...
Let's go to bed.
Give me a "break."
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
Noelia...
Wake up, little by little.
Noelia Santiago Valencia, right?
They're going to take
your intravenous serum.
OK.
It took me a while
because I had to confirm
some data with your oncologist.
I have an appointment with him
in December.
Yes, I recommend that you advance that appointment.
For when?
As soon as possible.
He's gonna be here today.
We can coordinate it, if you want.
I'll give you the results, but if you prefer,
we can wait for him to arrive.
No, you tell me, you tell me.
Let's see, Noelia...
When was your first bleed?
Yesterday.
Yesterday?
Yesterday was a remarkable one.
What about before?
No.
Okay, let me...
Let me think.
About a month and a half ago...
I started noticing something.
But...
Did you feel discomfort only,
or discomfort and bleeding?
No bleeding.
You didn't have bleeding.
Let her answer.
She didn't bleed.
Let her answer her, please.
A little bleeding
and a little discomfort.
OK.
Look.
This yellow thing you see here
and this thing here...
and this here, see?
This.
That's the reason for the
lump that you're feeling,
and obviously the bleeding.
You see that...
The cancer is...
metastasized.
Well, but we can treat you with
radiation therapy, you know?
No.
No, no, no...
No.
What about overseas?
No.
Yes, we can go overseas.
Why not?
We can go overseas, right?
Uh...
You can try in Florida,
in Houston and...
In Spain they are also researching on...
You see?
I told her that in Spain
they are more evolved.
I read it the other day.
Yes, I read it.
We can try in Madrid.
I don't want to. I don't want to.
It's just...
You have to hurry up.
I want to go home,
to lie in my bed.
Look, here I am preparing for you
a prescription for pain.
I'm going to give you a few minutes...
And I'll let you know when
Dr. Delgado arrives. All right?
Dr... Dr. Acosta, right?
Yes. Tell me.
I'd like to talk to Dr. Delgado
another day.
I'd like to leave.
Fine, as you wish.
Let me see how I can speed up
discharging you.
I'll be right back.
The ferry has arrived.
3 LOST CALLS JORGE
LOST CALLS ERASED
Noe... Wait for me, I'm coming.
You are skinny.
Everything alright over there?
Pretty good.
Does your mother know
you've arrived?
No, I left in a hurry.
I'm going to surprise her now.
I'll give you a lift.
Hey. What's that?
Carlos' little girl.
My cousin.
"Welcome to Vieques, seorita."
Brother! Call me!
You have my phone number.
You could have called.
A text message or something.
I'm here to see mommy.
I was going to call you later.
Okay, I'll play second fiddle.
What?
How you come from a place...
And you leave, and you forget
and you don't come back.
Hey, Juni...
I can't get on the ferry all the time.
It is a nuisance.
Do you want to?
What is it?
Something with love.
Give me a moment.
You've never seen a horse before?
They're horses, not unicorns.
They cleaned out the bunker.
Yeah, they did.
But it took forever
and there's a lot left.
NOW, FUCK!
I saw the kayak's protests
you made it the other day.
Let's hope
that it doesn't come to nothing.
It's not going to come to nothing,
you'll see.
We are gathering images
and videos.
To do some campaigns.
Since when are you organized?
Quite a while.
The thing is, you've got to keep it quiet.
There's still a lot of snitches around.
You know...
I'm around.
Call me for anything.
Out.
Out!
Out! Out!
Out!
Out, fuck!
Out, come on!
Mum...
Oh, yeah, come on, look.
Let's see if with that...
Go this way.
I'll open the door a bit more, let's see.
Get a bag, get a bag.
Out, out.
Out! Out! Out! Out!
Out!
You can't leave it like that.
Sorry.
It gets all full of shit.
Sorry, sorry, sorry...
Why didn't you let me know
you were coming?
Hello, greetings, Doa Flora.
How are you?
Don't be silly.
Don't be silly.
I love you.
I love you too.
Look, uh... And this open here?
Don't go in there!
Look, we were in this area today.
This way.
We went all over this.
Look, we brushed all this.
And today, just today,
we found nothing.
Last week we did.
We found several artifacts.
Artifacts?
Is that what you call bombs?
They could explode in your face
or in your hands at any moment.
Are you going to keep doing that?
Somebody's gotta do it.
Somebody. You know who has to do it.
Right? The American bastards.
They spent 60 years bombing
this whole island.
Poisoning the water,
poisoning the land...
They should clean up their own dumps.
Not my mum.
Not the people of Vieques.
This pisses me off so much...
If that doesn't get fixed,
no one will be able to live here.
Mom, do you really think all this protocol
is going to protect you at all?
Well, homemade has its results.
I've been doing it for almost
a decade now...
and it's worked for me.
When were your last tests?
About a month and a half ago.
And?
All is fine.
Until when is that?
Up to 2035 or something like that.
Oh my God, oh my God...
Look, there're like bags
of clothes in my room.
Oh, yeah, I've got to go through them.
Hey, there's some clothes that belonged
to one of the girls who passed away.
Really nice.
I thought I'd keep it for you.
I don't want clothes.
I don't want anything. I'm fine.
Well... Maybe you do.
The most beautiful, colorful clothes.
You're always dressed in gray.
You don't like it?
What about you?
What about your tests?
Uh... In... December.
I have to light the candles.
Don't light anything.
You know what I want?
What do you want?
Rice with sausages.
You can't eat that.
Mum, rice with sausages.
My little girl wants rice with sausage
from mommy.
Of course I'll prepare it.
Of course I'll prepare it.
You smell good.
You smell like a bomb.
Silly!
Mommy...!
Wow...
Yummy.
Mmm.
That's a lot.
It's OK.
I want to put rice.
I want to put beans in the rice.
What about Jorge?
Busy with a lot of work.
Did something happen?
I had something canceled.
I came over here. I got on a ferry.
What's coming out there
is already a hurricane.
They said so this morning.
You must have it in mind.
Why?
The trips could be suspended
because of that alert.
That's too far away.
It's not going to get here.
You never know.
We always say the same thing:
"That won't get here,
that won't get here."
Do you want a fried sweet plantain?
Please.
Hey...
Stop it... the best thing you've ever done was quitting it.
You didn't leave the weed, did you?
Did you bring some?
No way. I didn't have time to buy it.
I couldn't even get it on the ferry
with the dogs, at the dock.
That's because the weekend's coming up.
My God, that's ridiculous.
Using dogs to detect weed.
That's ridiculous.
Hey, mum...
Isn't there anyone who can replace you
in that job you do?
To spread the risk.
Nobody wants to.
We are always here
like a bucket of crabs.
That's normal.
That's the way we always are.
Noelia, let me know how you are.
I was able to move your appointment with Dr. Delgado.
Call me as soon as you can, please. Kisses.
From seven o'clock.
Vieques Community.
Tonight we will celebrate Norma's life,
our dear leader
we loved so much.
Join us for a musical tribute
at "La Nasa".
We will celebrate her legacy.
Vieques Community. Tonight we
will celebrate Norma's life,
our dear leader
we loved so much.
Thank you, Norma!
My daughter!
What about that miracle?
How are you, Cuca?
It's good to see you.
Your mother must be happy.
You look so skinny.
How long are you staying?
I don't know.
A month, a week, I don't know.
That's good,
to make up for the time.
Oh, daughter, your mother
sometimes gets so sad.
And you see, Norma's gone.
Do me a favor.
Tell your mother...
to remember that
she has an commitment with me
to fix up the space for Norma's tribute
which is at "La Nasa", at seven o'clock.
I'm waiting for you too.
And also, tell her to make time
between today and tomorrow
and stop by Norma's house
and look at her clothes and things,
and whatever she needs,
she can take it.
The family doesn't want to deal
with it.
And they leave
the day after tomorrow.
I'll tell her.
Thank you.
I hope to see you tonight. Seven o'clock.
OK.
Community of Vieques, this...
Coming back
With withered brow
The snows of time silvered my temple.
Feeling
What a breath of life is
That twenty years is nothing
What a feverish look
Errant in the shadows,
seeks you and names you
Living
With soul clinging
To a sweet memory that I weep again
Come on, baby. Sing with me.
No, mommy, no.
Come on.
No, mommy.
...who returns
To face my life
Come on!
I'm afraid of the nights that,
Come.
populated with memories,
chain my dreaming.
And though the oblivion that
destroys everything
Has killed my old illusion.
I keep hidden a humble hope
Which is all the fortune
of my heart.
Everybody! Everybody, now!
Coming back
With withered brow
The snows of time whitened my temple.
Feeling
What a breath life is
That twenty years is nothing
What a feverish look
Errant in the shadows,
seeks you and names you
Living
With soul clinging
To a sweet memory that I weep again
Hail to Norma! Let's celebrate
as she would have wanted!
We have here the displacement
of this system, to the west...
Turn up the volume, please.
Turn it up.
About the coordinates--
These is the 11:00 p.m.
coordinates.
Latitude, 16.7 degrees north.
Longitude, 55.6 degrees west.
Moving at a rate of 13 miles per hour.
With wind of 140 miles per hour.
Tomorrow,
we must get the house ready.
What are you going to do?
There's not going to be any ferry.
I wasn't going to San Juan, mum.
I was going to stay here.
Don't worry. It will deviate, as usual.
What are you going to do now?
I was going to walk around.
I've got another idea.
Mum...
Why don't you go back to San Juan?
Why do you have that?
They don't have this here.
I know that.
And why do you need this?
This is a very strong medicine
for pain.
Why are you going through
my things, mum?
You need to take care of yourself.
I know how to take care of myself,
I'm not a child.
If you're definitely staying,
go to Mara, Juni's friend.
I think she can get you
a couple of pills.
Attention dear
community of Vieques!
Given the warning of the
passage of Hurricane Irma,
we ask that you please dispose
of any debris
to avoid dangerous projectiles.
Please, if you live
in an area at risk
or with the possibility
of flooding...
Come on, yeah...
...456 shelters to house
at least 72,000 people.
- Look, take this...
- I'll take it.
Go, go... I'm coming...
Let me go through here,
this is heavy.
The federal government
has turned a blind eye
to the pollution problems
we have here in Vieques,
and that is why we are carrying
out a campaign
to raise awareness of this reality,
and we are going to take images
underwater
in the area where this pollution
is located.
When we have the material
we will share it with you,
to inform everyone
of this situation that affects us.
We know the risk involved
diving there.
We will follow a conventional route.
We will depart
from the fishermen's area.
We will go along the coastline
to surround the area where
there is a lot of war pollution.
We turn around and stop here.
Isn't it?
We are going to take pictures,
videos...
We know
what we are going to find out.
And, if possible, we'll get here.
The hurricane
is a little bit disturbing,
but we're going
to take the pictures first.
You, you and you... you're going in
and I'm gonna stay in the boat. Okay?
OK.
OK.
Any questions?
Does anybody have a question?
No.
Well, that's good.
Mara?
Yes.
Look, I'm Noelia, Flora's daughter.
Everything OK?
Sit down.
No, I'm better this way, standing.
Look...
I use some pain... medication.
I haven't been able to get.
I don't want to leave Vieques.
I don't want to go back to San Juan.
I want to stay here a few
more days and I need them.
My mother told me
that you can get that kind of stuff
without a prescription.
I don't know
what your mother knows,
but you'd better go home.
Mara... Please, I...
I have a prescription for that,
but they don't have what I need here.
Please.
At least you have a prescription.
What I get is little
and for people who have nothing.
Take your prescription and work
it out in the best possible way.
Please, please...
No.
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
This plan sounds good.
And you're going
underwater?
The question offends.
Of course we are.
Those who go, know what
they are doing and we go as a group.
I don't remember where that was,
but Mrs. Rodrguez spent the whole
day talking about the Batatal.
Keep it quiet, guys.
Don't do that.
Don't go there, guys.
So what did we do?
We went over there.
We dived into those waters...
so many times.
How are you doing?
How are you doing with your stuff?
It's not going well.
No.
I am not well.
Tell me about the Batatal.
What are you going to do?
I'm going with you.
Where are you going?
Smooth.
OK. I'll tell you about it.
Vieques, right?
That's it.
Right? That's the island.
OK.
So this is east.
We leave from here.
And here is the Batatal.
That area
is still very contaminated.
Ouch!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Are you sure?
I'm fine.
I'll take you home. Mara called
me and we'll meet her there.
We will be diving in one hour.
Mommy!
I'm coming.
Why didn't you wake me up?
The pills knocked you down.
You need to rest.
I'll wait for you.
How are you feeling?
Better.
Look...
I've been thinking.
Why don't you resume therapy?
No, mommy, no.
But it wasn't so hard last time.
That was the most painful thing
that's ever happened to me.
It was very painful...
No, no...
I won't do it again. No.
What about trying something else?
No, mommy, no. Now. No.
It's OK, it was an idea.
What if we go to Madrid?
We've always wanted to go together.
Why are you talking about Madrid?
Did you talk to Jorge?
Oh, mum...
What the hell, mum!
He wanted to come.
If you won't go,
then let him stay.
The last straw is
that he has to go without you.
Mummy...
I'm not going to Madrid to get
any treatment.
I already decided that.
Darling, he came to help you.
Give him thanks.
Help is given when it is asked for,
not when he feels like it.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Hey, good morning.
Oh, boy, thank you.
The lines were terrible.
Well, I brought you what I could.
They were giving out
two water per head.
But don't worry, because Cuca
saved me a little bit. Thank you.
You also have some bags in the kitchen.
Thank you.
Good morning.
How are you?
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?
What do you mean?
I called you, I wrote to you...
You didn't answer me.
Can we have a word?
But are you going out?
There's something in the Aquarium
and I want to go and help.
We're on hurricane watch.
Where are you going to go?
There's an investigation.
I want to help.
We have to get organized.
We have to plan what we're going to do.
I've brought some sandwiches.
Come on. Eat something, come on.
We don't have to go to Madrid.
Ah, now.
We really don't.
Mum, I'm leaving now.
Where to?
To help Mara and Juni.
I don't get it.
An investigation about what?
It's volunteering. On days like this,
they do some water testing.
You don't feel well.
Stay here.
Mum, do you need anything here?
Well, the drain up there.
That's what is missing.
Give me something, come on.
Look, there's the gloves and a broom.
I am coming now.
That?
Yes.
Is there anything else you need
from me, here?
No, forget it.
What is left, is left.
Be careful, please.
Do you have a bucket?
I'll bring it to you.
Take it easy.
Let's go.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to help.
No.
Raulito hasn't come.
We're going to need help underwater.
We need someone else.
No.
I'm tired of being told
what I can and can't do.
I want to dive in, see that up close,
take some shots, please.
Look...
We don't need any more
martyrs here, you know?
I'm not here to be a martyr.
We've been planning this for a while.
We have to get in, get out,
take the pictures...
It's dangerous and
we don't need any more risks.
Mara, I was born in Vieques.
I know this.
Let me go dive.
You're like the Bougainvillea.
Full of thorns.
No.
Do you know
that the Bougainvillea bloom
in a stressful situation?
The less water, the more flowers.
Take it easy, okay?
I know.
We don't have much time.
OK. Take it easy then. Let's go.
Stay close to the rope.
For safety.
And be very careful, please.
Yes? Stay near the top.
Because they've come here before.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go. Pull.
Watch out, watch out.
A little more this way.
There.
That's it. Breathe, breathe.
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
Breathe, breathe.
That's it.
Breathe...
Let's go, let's go...
Let's go!
Hold her tight, we're leaving.
Flora!
Flora!
Flora!
What happened to you?
Careful, careful, careful, careful...
But what happened?
I'm all right, Mum. It's OK.
Flora, bring me my backpack.
Bring me the black backsack
that's on the table.
Yes, yes.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Fuck! Jesuschrist!
It burns, it burns, it burns...
But how long were you in the water?
Here you are.
There's water here.
There it goes.
Give me that spray.
There're the water and the pills.
Here you go.
There it is.
Careful.
Fire, fire...
Yeah.
Here, take this.
Fire, fire, fire...
Come on... We're going in.
If I had known...
Help me...
Yeah.
Look... On three, okay?
Okay.
One, you're gonna get up.
OK.
Two. Three. Stand up like this.
Easy.
There.
Wait, wait... There.
You've got nothing,
you've got no back-pack?
Are you OK?
Yeah, she's fine, thanks.
Let's go outside.
For what?
Let's go.
You all right?
Yes! I'm coming.
Noelia?
I'm coming.
It's closed.
I'm coming!
What happened...?
I know.
Fuck!
Phew...
Come on.
I've already told you that
this cheap brand doesn't work.
Look how it unstocks.
Look.
What is that you hear?
This is the people of Vieques
standing up and fighting!
What is that you hear?
This is the people of Vieques
standing up and fighting!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY no!
Vieques, yes!
US NAVY, out! US NAVY out!
US NAVY, out!
US NAVY,
imperialist and terrorist!
US NAVY,
imperialist and terrorist!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY, no!
- Vieques, yes!
- US NAVY, no!
Do you want me to boil
the potatoes?
Yes, please... I'm going to edit...
Yeah.
They are all out of their minds.
They want to see you.
They have phoned a lot of times.
To see when we will arrive.
OK.
That's it.
Um... Should we put...
capers in it?
No capers.
Stop it!
No...
Stop, stop, stop...
Take it easy with the mayonnaise.
A little bit.
That does not have any.
Why do we have to bring
the salad ourselves?
Nina likes my potato salad.
I haven't made it for her in a while.
Ah.
I'm gonna go get that
and I'll be right back, okay?
What's the matter with you?
Are you OK?
What are you doing?
I was playing here,
with the cloth.
I'm fine.
Did you take your pills?
Those pills make me nauseous.
Having your eyes
should be illegal
And even more if when you look
you only inspire to sin
That peculiar smile
of playing the lethal temptress...
Those skills you know
how to use to kill
Hi, darling...
Good to see you!
Thank you, me too.
Nina told me you're going to call
for the grant this year.
Still editing, you know.
Shot, shot, shot!
Shot, shot!
Look, don't let him see me...
Let's do it, anything goes here.
- Anything goes!
Happy birthday.
It's my birthday.
In one gulp.
And Jorge?
There, look.
- Yes, I saw him over there.
- Jorge!
Hey, I didn't see you.
Nina! How are you?
I love you!
I love you.
Come with me to the restroom.
Ah, okay.
Come on.
See you later...
Oh, that's a good "shot".
Isn't it?
"Ay mamacita."
How do you feel at 63?
You're so funny! I'm fine.
Admit it.
You have a lot of experiences to tell.
It's called accumulated youth.
You look wonderful,
you're keeping very well.
What have you got there?
I have a "freshie" for you.
A gift.
You've brought a nice present.
This is organic.
This has no pesticides in it.
There you go.
Oh, yeah...
Hot and sexy.
Here, I have to pee.
Okay.
Wait.
Look, I've been thinking...
You should tell him...
about the bleeding and the pain.
No.
I'm going to the doctor by myself.
I'd rather not say anything.
Why?
If I had told him,
I wouldn't be here.
You can't keep waiting, girl.
You could have stayed at home.
Come here,
whose friend are you?
Yours, silly.
"Hashtag Team Noelia."
I know the guy is very intense.
He has me overwhelmed.
Would you come with me?
Me?
Birthday girl?
Will you open up?
He's heard it all.
No, he hasn't...
He heard everything.
But open the door.
What's going on?
Were you putting perfume on?
Ah, well!
Hey...
Does it still have some?
A little birthday present.
Do you want some?
Let me see? Does it still have some?
This is from Susana.
Ah, thank you.
Where does this one come from?
Never mind, it's my birthday.
Why do you ask? It's my birthday.
To get more. It is good.
There's a girl
Come on!
who's just the same
But different from the others.
I see her every night
On the beach walking
Bravo!
And I don't know where she comes from
And I don't know where she's going
I've been dreaming about her for a long time now
And I only know her name is Noelia.
I've long lived for her
And I only know her name is Noelia.
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia, Noelia...
Bravo!
Bravo!
Did I surprise you?
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, Nina...
Happy birthday to you!
One wish, one wish, one wish!
Next one's yours.
You're way out of line today.
You said you were going to control yourself.
Give it to me.
Thank you.
I'm old enough to decide
if I want to finish a beer,
if I want to stuff myself with food,
whether I want to smoke,
which also helps me with the dizziness
from the damn pills.
Do what you want to do.
That's what I'm going to do,
thank you.
Next stop...
Let's go to bed.
Give me a "break."
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
Noelia...
Wake up, little by little.
Noelia Santiago Valencia, right?
They're going to take
your intravenous serum.
OK.
It took me a while
because I had to confirm
some data with your oncologist.
I have an appointment with him
in December.
Yes, I recommend that you advance that appointment.
For when?
As soon as possible.
He's gonna be here today.
We can coordinate it, if you want.
I'll give you the results, but if you prefer,
we can wait for him to arrive.
No, you tell me, you tell me.
Let's see, Noelia...
When was your first bleed?
Yesterday.
Yesterday?
Yesterday was a remarkable one.
What about before?
No.
Okay, let me...
Let me think.
About a month and a half ago...
I started noticing something.
But...
Did you feel discomfort only,
or discomfort and bleeding?
No bleeding.
You didn't have bleeding.
Let her answer.
She didn't bleed.
Let her answer her, please.
A little bleeding
and a little discomfort.
OK.
Look.
This yellow thing you see here
and this thing here...
and this here, see?
This.
That's the reason for the
lump that you're feeling,
and obviously the bleeding.
You see that...
The cancer is...
metastasized.
Well, but we can treat you with
radiation therapy, you know?
No.
No, no, no...
No.
What about overseas?
No.
Yes, we can go overseas.
Why not?
We can go overseas, right?
Uh...
You can try in Florida,
in Houston and...
In Spain they are also researching on...
You see?
I told her that in Spain
they are more evolved.
I read it the other day.
Yes, I read it.
We can try in Madrid.
I don't want to. I don't want to.
It's just...
You have to hurry up.
I want to go home,
to lie in my bed.
Look, here I am preparing for you
a prescription for pain.
I'm going to give you a few minutes...
And I'll let you know when
Dr. Delgado arrives. All right?
Dr... Dr. Acosta, right?
Yes. Tell me.
I'd like to talk to Dr. Delgado
another day.
I'd like to leave.
Fine, as you wish.
Let me see how I can speed up
discharging you.
I'll be right back.
The ferry has arrived.
3 LOST CALLS JORGE
LOST CALLS ERASED
Noe... Wait for me, I'm coming.
You are skinny.
Everything alright over there?
Pretty good.
Does your mother know
you've arrived?
No, I left in a hurry.
I'm going to surprise her now.
I'll give you a lift.
Hey. What's that?
Carlos' little girl.
My cousin.
"Welcome to Vieques, seorita."
Brother! Call me!
You have my phone number.
You could have called.
A text message or something.
I'm here to see mommy.
I was going to call you later.
Okay, I'll play second fiddle.
What?
How you come from a place...
And you leave, and you forget
and you don't come back.
Hey, Juni...
I can't get on the ferry all the time.
It is a nuisance.
Do you want to?
What is it?
Something with love.
Give me a moment.
You've never seen a horse before?
They're horses, not unicorns.
They cleaned out the bunker.
Yeah, they did.
But it took forever
and there's a lot left.
NOW, FUCK!
I saw the kayak's protests
you made it the other day.
Let's hope
that it doesn't come to nothing.
It's not going to come to nothing,
you'll see.
We are gathering images
and videos.
To do some campaigns.
Since when are you organized?
Quite a while.
The thing is, you've got to keep it quiet.
There's still a lot of snitches around.
You know...
I'm around.
Call me for anything.
Out.
Out!
Out! Out!
Out!
Out, fuck!
Out, come on!
Mum...
Oh, yeah, come on, look.
Let's see if with that...
Go this way.
I'll open the door a bit more, let's see.
Get a bag, get a bag.
Out, out.
Out! Out! Out! Out!
Out!
You can't leave it like that.
Sorry.
It gets all full of shit.
Sorry, sorry, sorry...
Why didn't you let me know
you were coming?
Hello, greetings, Doa Flora.
How are you?
Don't be silly.
Don't be silly.
I love you.
I love you too.
Look, uh... And this open here?
Don't go in there!
Look, we were in this area today.
This way.
We went all over this.
Look, we brushed all this.
And today, just today,
we found nothing.
Last week we did.
We found several artifacts.
Artifacts?
Is that what you call bombs?
They could explode in your face
or in your hands at any moment.
Are you going to keep doing that?
Somebody's gotta do it.
Somebody. You know who has to do it.
Right? The American bastards.
They spent 60 years bombing
this whole island.
Poisoning the water,
poisoning the land...
They should clean up their own dumps.
Not my mum.
Not the people of Vieques.
This pisses me off so much...
If that doesn't get fixed,
no one will be able to live here.
Mom, do you really think all this protocol
is going to protect you at all?
Well, homemade has its results.
I've been doing it for almost
a decade now...
and it's worked for me.
When were your last tests?
About a month and a half ago.
And?
All is fine.
Until when is that?
Up to 2035 or something like that.
Oh my God, oh my God...
Look, there're like bags
of clothes in my room.
Oh, yeah, I've got to go through them.
Hey, there's some clothes that belonged
to one of the girls who passed away.
Really nice.
I thought I'd keep it for you.
I don't want clothes.
I don't want anything. I'm fine.
Well... Maybe you do.
The most beautiful, colorful clothes.
You're always dressed in gray.
You don't like it?
What about you?
What about your tests?
Uh... In... December.
I have to light the candles.
Don't light anything.
You know what I want?
What do you want?
Rice with sausages.
You can't eat that.
Mum, rice with sausages.
My little girl wants rice with sausage
from mommy.
Of course I'll prepare it.
Of course I'll prepare it.
You smell good.
You smell like a bomb.
Silly!
Mommy...!
Wow...
Yummy.
Mmm.
That's a lot.
It's OK.
I want to put rice.
I want to put beans in the rice.
What about Jorge?
Busy with a lot of work.
Did something happen?
I had something canceled.
I came over here. I got on a ferry.
What's coming out there
is already a hurricane.
They said so this morning.
You must have it in mind.
Why?
The trips could be suspended
because of that alert.
That's too far away.
It's not going to get here.
You never know.
We always say the same thing:
"That won't get here,
that won't get here."
Do you want a fried sweet plantain?
Please.
Hey...
Stop it... the best thing you've ever done was quitting it.
You didn't leave the weed, did you?
Did you bring some?
No way. I didn't have time to buy it.
I couldn't even get it on the ferry
with the dogs, at the dock.
That's because the weekend's coming up.
My God, that's ridiculous.
Using dogs to detect weed.
That's ridiculous.
Hey, mum...
Isn't there anyone who can replace you
in that job you do?
To spread the risk.
Nobody wants to.
We are always here
like a bucket of crabs.
That's normal.
That's the way we always are.
Noelia, let me know how you are.
I was able to move your appointment with Dr. Delgado.
Call me as soon as you can, please. Kisses.
From seven o'clock.
Vieques Community.
Tonight we will celebrate Norma's life,
our dear leader
we loved so much.
Join us for a musical tribute
at "La Nasa".
We will celebrate her legacy.
Vieques Community. Tonight we
will celebrate Norma's life,
our dear leader
we loved so much.
Thank you, Norma!
My daughter!
What about that miracle?
How are you, Cuca?
It's good to see you.
Your mother must be happy.
You look so skinny.
How long are you staying?
I don't know.
A month, a week, I don't know.
That's good,
to make up for the time.
Oh, daughter, your mother
sometimes gets so sad.
And you see, Norma's gone.
Do me a favor.
Tell your mother...
to remember that
she has an commitment with me
to fix up the space for Norma's tribute
which is at "La Nasa", at seven o'clock.
I'm waiting for you too.
And also, tell her to make time
between today and tomorrow
and stop by Norma's house
and look at her clothes and things,
and whatever she needs,
she can take it.
The family doesn't want to deal
with it.
And they leave
the day after tomorrow.
I'll tell her.
Thank you.
I hope to see you tonight. Seven o'clock.
OK.
Community of Vieques, this...
Coming back
With withered brow
The snows of time silvered my temple.
Feeling
What a breath of life is
That twenty years is nothing
What a feverish look
Errant in the shadows,
seeks you and names you
Living
With soul clinging
To a sweet memory that I weep again
Come on, baby. Sing with me.
No, mommy, no.
Come on.
No, mommy.
...who returns
To face my life
Come on!
I'm afraid of the nights that,
Come.
populated with memories,
chain my dreaming.
And though the oblivion that
destroys everything
Has killed my old illusion.
I keep hidden a humble hope
Which is all the fortune
of my heart.
Everybody! Everybody, now!
Coming back
With withered brow
The snows of time whitened my temple.
Feeling
What a breath life is
That twenty years is nothing
What a feverish look
Errant in the shadows,
seeks you and names you
Living
With soul clinging
To a sweet memory that I weep again
Hail to Norma! Let's celebrate
as she would have wanted!
We have here the displacement
of this system, to the west...
Turn up the volume, please.
Turn it up.
About the coordinates--
These is the 11:00 p.m.
coordinates.
Latitude, 16.7 degrees north.
Longitude, 55.6 degrees west.
Moving at a rate of 13 miles per hour.
With wind of 140 miles per hour.
Tomorrow,
we must get the house ready.
What are you going to do?
There's not going to be any ferry.
I wasn't going to San Juan, mum.
I was going to stay here.
Don't worry. It will deviate, as usual.
What are you going to do now?
I was going to walk around.
I've got another idea.
Mum...
Why don't you go back to San Juan?
Why do you have that?
They don't have this here.
I know that.
And why do you need this?
This is a very strong medicine
for pain.
Why are you going through
my things, mum?
You need to take care of yourself.
I know how to take care of myself,
I'm not a child.
If you're definitely staying,
go to Mara, Juni's friend.
I think she can get you
a couple of pills.
Attention dear
community of Vieques!
Given the warning of the
passage of Hurricane Irma,
we ask that you please dispose
of any debris
to avoid dangerous projectiles.
Please, if you live
in an area at risk
or with the possibility
of flooding...
Come on, yeah...
...456 shelters to house
at least 72,000 people.
- Look, take this...
- I'll take it.
Go, go... I'm coming...
Let me go through here,
this is heavy.
The federal government
has turned a blind eye
to the pollution problems
we have here in Vieques,
and that is why we are carrying
out a campaign
to raise awareness of this reality,
and we are going to take images
underwater
in the area where this pollution
is located.
When we have the material
we will share it with you,
to inform everyone
of this situation that affects us.
We know the risk involved
diving there.
We will follow a conventional route.
We will depart
from the fishermen's area.
We will go along the coastline
to surround the area where
there is a lot of war pollution.
We turn around and stop here.
Isn't it?
We are going to take pictures,
videos...
We know
what we are going to find out.
And, if possible, we'll get here.
The hurricane
is a little bit disturbing,
but we're going
to take the pictures first.
You, you and you... you're going in
and I'm gonna stay in the boat. Okay?
OK.
OK.
Any questions?
Does anybody have a question?
No.
Well, that's good.
Mara?
Yes.
Look, I'm Noelia, Flora's daughter.
Everything OK?
Sit down.
No, I'm better this way, standing.
Look...
I use some pain... medication.
I haven't been able to get.
I don't want to leave Vieques.
I don't want to go back to San Juan.
I want to stay here a few
more days and I need them.
My mother told me
that you can get that kind of stuff
without a prescription.
I don't know
what your mother knows,
but you'd better go home.
Mara... Please, I...
I have a prescription for that,
but they don't have what I need here.
Please.
At least you have a prescription.
What I get is little
and for people who have nothing.
Take your prescription and work
it out in the best possible way.
Please, please...
No.
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
This plan sounds good.
And you're going
underwater?
The question offends.
Of course we are.
Those who go, know what
they are doing and we go as a group.
I don't remember where that was,
but Mrs. Rodrguez spent the whole
day talking about the Batatal.
Keep it quiet, guys.
Don't do that.
Don't go there, guys.
So what did we do?
We went over there.
We dived into those waters...
so many times.
How are you doing?
How are you doing with your stuff?
It's not going well.
No.
I am not well.
Tell me about the Batatal.
What are you going to do?
I'm going with you.
Where are you going?
Smooth.
OK. I'll tell you about it.
Vieques, right?
That's it.
Right? That's the island.
OK.
So this is east.
We leave from here.
And here is the Batatal.
That area
is still very contaminated.
Ouch!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Are you sure?
I'm fine.
I'll take you home. Mara called
me and we'll meet her there.
We will be diving in one hour.
Mommy!
I'm coming.
Why didn't you wake me up?
The pills knocked you down.
You need to rest.
I'll wait for you.
How are you feeling?
Better.
Look...
I've been thinking.
Why don't you resume therapy?
No, mommy, no.
But it wasn't so hard last time.
That was the most painful thing
that's ever happened to me.
It was very painful...
No, no...
I won't do it again. No.
What about trying something else?
No, mommy, no. Now. No.
It's OK, it was an idea.
What if we go to Madrid?
We've always wanted to go together.
Why are you talking about Madrid?
Did you talk to Jorge?
Oh, mum...
What the hell, mum!
He wanted to come.
If you won't go,
then let him stay.
The last straw is
that he has to go without you.
Mummy...
I'm not going to Madrid to get
any treatment.
I already decided that.
Darling, he came to help you.
Give him thanks.
Help is given when it is asked for,
not when he feels like it.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Hey, good morning.
Oh, boy, thank you.
The lines were terrible.
Well, I brought you what I could.
They were giving out
two water per head.
But don't worry, because Cuca
saved me a little bit. Thank you.
You also have some bags in the kitchen.
Thank you.
Good morning.
How are you?
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?
What do you mean?
I called you, I wrote to you...
You didn't answer me.
Can we have a word?
But are you going out?
There's something in the Aquarium
and I want to go and help.
We're on hurricane watch.
Where are you going to go?
There's an investigation.
I want to help.
We have to get organized.
We have to plan what we're going to do.
I've brought some sandwiches.
Come on. Eat something, come on.
We don't have to go to Madrid.
Ah, now.
We really don't.
Mum, I'm leaving now.
Where to?
To help Mara and Juni.
I don't get it.
An investigation about what?
It's volunteering. On days like this,
they do some water testing.
You don't feel well.
Stay here.
Mum, do you need anything here?
Well, the drain up there.
That's what is missing.
Give me something, come on.
Look, there's the gloves and a broom.
I am coming now.
That?
Yes.
Is there anything else you need
from me, here?
No, forget it.
What is left, is left.
Be careful, please.
Do you have a bucket?
I'll bring it to you.
Take it easy.
Let's go.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to help.
No.
Raulito hasn't come.
We're going to need help underwater.
We need someone else.
No.
I'm tired of being told
what I can and can't do.
I want to dive in, see that up close,
take some shots, please.
Look...
We don't need any more
martyrs here, you know?
I'm not here to be a martyr.
We've been planning this for a while.
We have to get in, get out,
take the pictures...
It's dangerous and
we don't need any more risks.
Mara, I was born in Vieques.
I know this.
Let me go dive.
You're like the Bougainvillea.
Full of thorns.
No.
Do you know
that the Bougainvillea bloom
in a stressful situation?
The less water, the more flowers.
Take it easy, okay?
I know.
We don't have much time.
OK. Take it easy then. Let's go.
Stay close to the rope.
For safety.
And be very careful, please.
Yes? Stay near the top.
Because they've come here before.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go. Pull.
Watch out, watch out.
A little more this way.
There.
That's it. Breathe, breathe.
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
Breathe, breathe.
That's it.
Breathe...
Let's go, let's go...
Let's go!
Hold her tight, we're leaving.
Flora!
Flora!
Flora!
What happened to you?
Careful, careful, careful, careful...
But what happened?
I'm all right, Mum. It's OK.
Flora, bring me my backpack.
Bring me the black backsack
that's on the table.
Yes, yes.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Fuck! Jesuschrist!
It burns, it burns, it burns...
But how long were you in the water?
Here you are.
There's water here.
There it goes.
Give me that spray.
There're the water and the pills.
Here you go.
There it is.
Careful.
Fire, fire...
Yeah.
Here, take this.
Fire, fire, fire...
Come on... We're going in.
If I had known...
Help me...
Yeah.
Look... On three, okay?
Okay.
One, you're gonna get up.
OK.
Two. Three. Stand up like this.
Easy.
There.
Wait, wait... There.
You've got nothing,
you've got no back-pack?
Are you OK?
Yeah, she's fine, thanks.
Let's go outside.
For what?
Let's go.
