THE MELTDOWN
Genaro, where is my grandma?
I haven't seen her.
Go on, off to bed.
Paty, do you copy?
Paty, it's Sonia.
Do you copy?
I copy, Mrs Sonia.
Over.
They're waiting.
We're already late.
I had to come back.
I forgot something. Over.
Have you seen Ins?
Yes, I just saw her,
I'll bring her now. Over.
Stop lying. You know Mrs Techa
doesn't like her sleeping down there.
Get over here, please.
And bring her. Over.
Copy, Mrs Sonia.
You don't want me sleeping here?
You know what Mrs Sonia said.
And this bed
is smaller than a matchbox.
- We're squashed together.
- No, we sleep fine.
You're big enough
to sleep alone.
Look, you're growing
a moustache!
Those blondies again.
Ins, what are you doing?
Nothing...
Put that back where you got it
or Mrs Sonia will yell at me.
Don't tell anyone.
Okay.
Vista del Volcn Hotel.
Sorry?
Sorry?
Repeat me, please.
I don't understand this woman.
Hello.
They're training now.
Okay, Miss Lina, I will
personally take care
that Hanna gets this
message. I'm Ins. Bye.
Who was that?
Hanna's mother.
What did she say?
Do my homework
and I'll tell you.
How would I do that?
It's all in English!
The math, at least.
Even worse!
Shall we call your mum?
No, I don't want to.
Go on, Ins.
Let's make the most
of the good line.
No.
Hot German chick!
- Which one?
- The blonde!
She was looking at me.
In your dreams...
I swear.
Give me time.
I swear!
Happy birthday to you...
Stop it!
When will you stop
making fun of me?
When?
Kiss! Kiss!
Hey, guys!
Stop now!
Go!
Get out of here!
Stop this noise, Hanna!
The same shit every day!
That was my bread!
You've eaten its arm!
So what, dickhead?
You ripped its arm off!
Sebastin!
Don't forget
I'm your big brother!
Grandma's coming!
And this is Panchito.
Motherfucker!
This man makes the best bread
in the area.
They've tried
to lure him away, but...
We keep him here, right?
- And these are my grandchildren.
- Lovely.
Nice to meet you. Sebastin.
Don't you say hello?
Hello!
And my granddaughter.
So sweet!
I'm taking you back to Madrid.
She's not
in the inventory, Cristina.
You can take me instead!
What a nerve, Sebastin!
Taste the hot bread.
What is it?
Can I go skiing?
And your homework?
Techa, give her a break.
Just for a while, right?
Our little scamp goes skiing?
You like skiing now?
Ask him how long
he's been here.
What happens, are you giving up?
You come down at a good speed,
at a good pace,
but at the last three gates,
you're a lady at a five'o clock tea!
You're not a lady!
Hanna is a lady!
Shut up until you stop
skiing like a scarecrow!
Look.
See that line?
Stay focused until then, okay?
Gate by gate,
don't give up,
one more, come on!
- I did three runs more than they did.
- But they'll never be skiers.
I can't take any more.
- What?
- I can't take any more.
Just a last one, go on.
- My boot's hurting me.
- Where?
Show me.
Better?
You'll make it, okay?
Go on!
- Last one!
- Hey!
Group one is going down!
I wanted to give you this.
Thank you. Should I open it?
Yes.
It's so beautiful!
I made it myself.
It had an accident.
My cousin ate the arm.
Thank you.
I won't eat the...
The other one?
- Arm.
- Yes?
Last run!
But I like it a lot!
Hanna! So?
- Get going!
- Yeah.
Okay, I have to go.
Bye!
King Juan Carlos of Spain
opened the first commemoration
of the 500th anniversary
of the discovery of America.
Three hours later,
Chile opened its own pavilion.
Call Techa, where is she?
With the Spaniards.
She can bring them too!
Genaro, call her.
While the temperature outside
was over 40 degrees,
in the Chilean pavilion,
it was kept no higher than six
to preserve this wonder.
Is that the iceberg?
I thought it'd be bigger.
Don't you like it, Marcelita?
No, it makes us seem frigid too.
We're warmer than that in Chile!
It's Dad!
Speak of the devil...
So handsome, Mr Rodrigo!
We're a modern country,
a trustworthy country,
both politically and economically.
It's such an achievement,
after 17 years of dictatorship!
The transition has been orderly,
based on consensus
and solid agreements.
Which other Latin American country
can say that?
What do you say to the critics?
Why an iceberg?
I think it's the right thing
to show off cultural expressions
that don't focus on the pain
we lived as a country.
This isn't the place for that.
You can't exhibit pain,
you exhibit possibilities.
We say:
"Come to invest in Chile,
"help us turn
our wealth into progress,
"becoming a nation of champions."
How about your dad?
Where were you?
And the Spaniards?
Forget the Spaniards, will you?
Amparo says that iceberg is melting.
- Where did you hear that?
- Mum told me.
- Your mom, Ins!
- Where?
There, with the camera.
- No, that's a guy, Sonia.
- Which video camera?
I'm sure, I saw her
with the camera, Ricardo!
- She took my camera?
- You told her to film the journey!
Don't you remember, Ricardo?
I don't remember.
This man is losing his memory,
my God!
This is a really weird place.
Because of the military.
They trained here.
The military?
Were there soldiers here?
Yes, they're supposed
to guard the border, I think.
But they haven't come here
in a long time.
My grandfather knows them.
And his friend told him
they wouldn't be using
this place any more.
Now, some Spaniards came here
and they want to buy the land
to build buildings for the tourists.
They want to build buildings here?
Really?
I don't really think it's going to work
How far is the border?
Can you walk there?
I don't know how it is
in the winter.
I've only done it in summer.
I can't imagine this place
in summer.
Do you have summer in Germany?
Yes, but I'm not there a lot
if it's not winter.
We always move as soon as
the snow melts.
So, snow is like your life now?
Yes.
The whole iceberg?
No, they cut it in pieces with a saw.
How did it not melt on the way there?
It did melt, a little bit.
Don't tell anybody.
I won't.
It's over there.
Okay.
And Germany, they're also
going to bring something?
They could've brought you
to represent German athletes.
Me?
Chile brought Ivn Zamorano.
- Who's that?
- You don't know him?
He's a very famous
soccer player here in Chile.
No, I don't know him.
So you go down like I did.
And then you kind of go like this,
so you can see
in what direction you want to throw it.
And then you have the thing,
and you go like this.
And you kind of...
You kind of flick the stone.
Flick it from the side.
I'm so bad.
It's fine, but this time just listen
to the sound. Try to listen to it
See?
Now wait here.
You really have to go down
to your knees, stay back...
No, like this.
And also go down like this.
Okay, so...
Do you have more stones?
No, I'll can go grab some.
Hanna?
Close your eyes.
Open them.
Matches! I lost mine.
Thank you.
You smoke?
- You want to try?
- No.
I'm too little.
True.
Can you do this?
You have one tooth
wider than the other one.
Yes, because I lost one of them
in a skiing race.
Look.
I don't think
I can really do them!
What are you trying to do?
Smoke rings,
you know what they are?
When you smoke and then...
it's supposed to become a ring.
Cool.
I also lost a tooth.
- Really?
- But it was a milk tooth.
Show me.
You're lucky, the Tooth Fairy
is gonna come and give you money.
Wait.
Does the Tooth Fairy exist in Chile?
No.
Here, it's supposed to be a mouse.
It's called
El Ratn Prez.
But I know it's the parents.
And my parents are on
the other side of the world, so...
Do you miss them?
our parents?
I don't know.
Do you?
My mother and I
get along better from afar.
And I don't know my dad.
Really?
No, he's from a country
that doesn't exist any more.
Can you paint my other hand?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
And you, Miss?
She wanted
pisco
.
She's of legal age.
Years?
Eight-and-ten.
A soft, then.
Sour or
piscola
?
- Recommend?
-
Piscola
.
Chilean typical.
You'll have to deal with me, kiddo.
She's 14, tops.
- You from here?
- Right here.
Born and raised right here.
In these lands.
There was no hotel!
You tell her.
He was born here
before there was a hotel.
When this land
were of his family.
My dad,
my mum,
Sonia,
and this baby, it's me.
Sonia is his sister.
The one from reception.
You look like her.
Me?
Much better looking!
Him?
Another brother.
Does he also work here?
No.
To... volcano?
The route?
She asks for
the route to the volcano.
Me, skiing? Not so good.
Sebastin.
He's a good skier.
Double whiskey?
Yes, please. Thank you.
There you are...
Hi! How are you?
What's that?
A typical Chilean soft drink.
You guys
have the same nail polish?
It's nice!
Don't stay up late, okay?
- Thanks.
- Good night.
See you tomorrow.
- Who's Sebastin?
- He's my cousin.
- Ah, him.
- Ins?
Ms Techa says it's your bedtime.
Just to ruin the best moment!
I have to go to sleep.
You wanna go
skiing with me tomorrow?
- Can you?
- Yeah, tomorrow's a free day.
Keep some distance
from this left edge
because the wind forms
thin cornices over here,
and you don't wanna mess
with cornices.
Yes, I got it.
Anyway, I'm sure that
you can handle it,
I've seen your practice,
you're a great skier.
If you want, I can go with you.
No, I have your map,
I'll figure it out, I won't get lost.
Okay.
Do you want something to drink?
Have you tried
piscola
before?
Yes, I've tried it.
I'm not that creative, I guess.
But can you guys drink?
No.
- No.
How about dancing?
Very badly.
I mean, there is a disco,
in the hotel.
Yes, I know, and I want to go
but they don't let us in.
And I can't anyway.
We can go after, if you want.
But you told me
that you don't know how to dance.
We got to practice.
If you want to go, we have to practice.
Right now.
- Show me.
- Okay, so...
My grandpa taught me this one.
Oh, he taught you this?
I can do this!
Do you see? It's easy,
so you know how to dance
Do you want another one
of this?
Yeah? Okay.
I can walk by myself!
Stop!
Strip!
What? Why should I strip?
To take a shower.
- Why should I?
- Get in the shower!
Stop arguing and get in the shower!
Okay.
You stink!
Who were you with?
You know I was alone.
- Sure?
- Yes, do I have to say it again?
We've talked about this so often!
I can't believe it.
You do whatever you want,
you throw it all away.
You're wasting my time.
The water's cold.
Do as I say.
If you want to waste your talent,
go ahead.
It's up to you.
Don't force me to do that.
Don't go!
Please, don't go.
Stay with me,
I don't want to be alone.
Hanna?
Can I sleep with you?
Frozen feet.
Who's there?
Sebastin!
I brought your jacket.
You forgot this.
Thank you.
By the way, where were you?
You disappeared.
That guy wouldn't leave you alone?
Do you want...
to go and see the sunrise?
There's a really nice viewpoint.
We can watch.
You want to go now?
We won't get cold with this.
Want to try?
- What is it?
- It's good. Try it.
Get some more.
Hey, stop!
It's good, isn't it?
Ok, ok. I'll be quiet
Close the door.
I must get dressed.
Okay, sure.
I'll wait for you.
Who's there?
Your cousin.
Such a funny kid!
- May I get in?
- No!
Why not?
- Because!
- I need the bathroom.
- Come on!
- Sorry.
Need help with something?
No.
Just wait.
This is really nice.
Here.
Where is this scarf from,
is that a German scarf
from German sheep?
Hey, let's go!
Come on!
Your cousin's here.
She won't mind.
Keep your skis straight,
and downhill!
When?
At what time?
The one from the ski team.
Skis straight!
Any news downhill?
- Absolutely nothing.
- Nothing?
- Nothing downhill.
- Nothing...
Nothing. Alright, then. Were all set.
You are closing?
Yes, I'm closing.
Attention, base, do you copy?
Base here. Receiving, Mr Ren.
The patrol just arrived,
so we can stop now.
Turning off engines.
Copy that.
The patrol didn't report anything?
Negative. There's no news.
Ask around in your cabins, please.
Yes.
Maybe she went down to the village.
We have no idea.
She's 14 years old.
It's absurd!
Why do we need to wait 48 hours?
We can't do anything until then.
Since you're upset and hold foreigner
status, we could start searching.
- Well?
- Nothing.
Shit!
Explain to the young man
that recently a girl went missing.
We made every effort,
and she turned up three days later.
She'd run away because she was
banned from seeing her boyfriend.
Listen, I have a contact.
I've asked for a helicopter.
Why don't they have a team here?
They're mountain police.
Why don't they have a team right here?
What does he want? You want money?
You want
dinero?
You can't offer me money.
- Get off me!
- Let's calm down!
Could you give me
Mrs Juanita's number?
Maybe she saw her at her kiosk.
Thank you!
Give it to me, please.
Yes, I have a pen.
Yes.
Thank you very much, Mrs Ruth
Come, sweetie,
put on your pyjamas.
Insita...
Ins, come on!
Sometimes girls that age
are rebellious and do these things.
Hanna went out with Sebastin
last night.
Seba came to her room
looking for her.
How do you know?
I was sleeping with Hanna.
Have you told your grandma?
You can't tell anyone.
Clear the area!
Please, clear the area!
Are you worried
about your friend?
Don't worry.
She'll show up freezing cold,
but everyone's looking for her.
It happens to adventurers like you,
who love getting lost.
Ins?
Were you with her before she left?
How many times have I told you
not to go into guests' rooms?
Were you alone with her?
Who else was with you?
Sebastin.
What did they do together?
Tell me.
Sebastin kissed Hanna.
Do you realize what you're saying?
It's very serious.
Because we don't know
where that girl is.
Think if somebody
heard you say that,
and accused you both.
We'd all end up in prison!
After all I've told you,
in every possible way:
"Behave yourself
while the Spaniards are here!"
What if someone finds out?
- They mustn't?
- Right.
It would be a disaster
for the family.
After everything
your grandpa and I have done
to achieve all this!
You can't tell anyone else
that you were with Hanna
before she left.
You know nothing.
I know nothing.
Nobody knows anything.
Are we clear, Ins?
- Ins?
- Yes.
I don't think your little head
has seen a brush today...
Go and get the brush.
Let's untangle this mess.
Stop crying!
You're not five years old!
Buck up!
Sebastin!
Sebastin, open up!
- Insita, go to Sonia.
- What's going on?
Nothing. Go on.
Go on, Ins.
Hurry up!
Your backpack!
- Take this money.
- Thanks.
- What do I tell the Germans?
- That your holidays are over.
Clean up your face.
LINA WOLF - WORLD RECORD
Hanna!
Hanna!
Hanna!
Sonia?
And nobody picks up this phone!
Sonia!
Thanks.
Why are her things not in her room?
The police decided.
Don't worry.
We'll put this in her room.
Thank you.
Come into the office.
Into the office, please.
This way.
We flew over the area by helicopter
but didn't find anything.
So, tomorrow, the whole patrol
will set up camp
in the same area,
to search on the ground.
Why not leave now?
Tell the lady the team has been
working for over thirty hours
and needs to rest.
Climbing again now would be dangerous.
And why... why do you...
Why do you think she's in this area?
Please tell the lady
that we're bending over backwards
to solve this.
We're all worried,
we're on top of things, we're helping.
We're currently combing
the upper area of the volcano
because we know
the girl asked about that trail.
She is...
She was...
How do you know
about the volcano?
We questioned people.
Which people?
Just people.
People from the hotel,
those close to her...
Mr Alexander told us
it's not the first time
this girl has exhibited
this type of erratic behaviour.
That's happened before.
This is different.
No, it's not different.
It's something else.
No, because given our research
and our information,
this girl didn't get on very well
with the team.
Explain to her
that it's a girl who likes conflict.
She didn't get along well
with her team.
He wonders if you know,
about the team.
Yes, but...
Why have they...?
Did you look
in the other areas already?
Ask him if other people...
Are there other people
searching elsewhere?
Yes, we are searching
the lower part with volunteers
and I'll lend them a policeman
to help, because...
Tell her
I can't leave the station unstaffed,
if any problem comes up,
there's no one there.
Tell her not to worry, those people
were all born and raised here,
the volunteers know the mountain
better than anyone.
Has anyone ever disappeared?
Have there been
disappearances before?
Miss,
this is a mountainous area...
She told me that she'd like to help,
to take part in the search.
That's not possible.
I understand her,
but family must stay out of this,
it's emotionally and technically
beyond them.
- The best way to help is...
- So why is he allowed?
Why him?
The young man is a mountain athlete.
He's an athlete.
You think I'm incapable?
She was an athlete too.
How many years ago?
Let's get serious, buddy.
She knows neither the area
nor the method.
She could put us all in danger.
It's like fathers in a delivery room.
Their nerves are contagious.
Let the doctor handle the birth.
If you don't know, you can't help.
Do you think Hanna's dead?
We must keep hoping
and tell ourselves no.
And your brother?
That's different.
But do you think he's alive?
No.
But we should not lose hope.
We have to keep searching.
Do you have a copy machine?
Yes.
- Yes?
Can you translate this into Spanish?
Help me.
"Lost. Hanna Wolf.
"14 years old.
"Blonde hair.
"Blue eyes.
"One meter, 64cm."
What does it say here?
Purple parka and red scarf.
"Purple parka.
"Red scarf."
Do you want to put the...
the hotel's phone number?
Yes, please, the number.
And the hotel's number.
Can you ask her to
put this picture in the middle?
Like this?
She's asking to put this
in the middle of the sheet.
Yes.
I'll take care of it.
One moment, please.
How far is the town?
She said this to you,
she wants to be alone?
Yes.
- And do you know why?
She told me that
she was tired with the training.
And she couldn't see anything.
She always asked me where she could
find places where she could be alone.
What places? Where?
I could take you there.
It's not far.
It's close to the hotel.
Yes, we go there.
So, what did you do in the bar?
Did Hanna drink alcohol?
No.
We just ate french fries.
And after the bar,
did you see her again?
No.
They called me to go to bed.
Have you seen her?
Hanna?
You?
No.
Ask them if they can
bring the flyer in school
and then you put it somewhere.
She's asking
if you can take it to your school
and put it up there.
Yes.
It's flying away!
You threw it?
Did you throw it?
-
Look me in the eye and tell me!
- It wasn't me!
Was it her?
- Why are you laughing?
- Leave me alone!
Why are you laughing?
Leave her alone!
- You piece of shit!
- Stop!
Come here.
I said come!
Crazy
gringa
...
Translate.
Tell her she's a piece of shit.
I said translate!
Come here.
Give me your hand.
The other one.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
Can you forgive me?
You're sure?
What else has Hanna told you?
I already told you everything.
She told me that you were
a very famous ice skater
from another country
that doesn't exist any more.
And you escaped.
Don't tell anyone.
Don't worry,
I won't tell anybody.
Hanna!
Hanna!
Hello!
Hello.
You're looking for Hanna?
We'll carry on tomorrow.
Wait. Ins!
Hello!
- Can you translate?
- Okay.
Can you ask them
if they have news?
She asks if you have news.
Tomorrow.
We'll carry on tomorrow.
They're going to keep
looking for her tomorrow.
Tell her that after the rain...
there's less snow
and it's easier to search.
What did he say?
Now that it's raining more,
it's easier to...
to look for people.
We'll carry on looking
tomorrow, okay?
Thank you...
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Hanna!
Hanna!
Here, it's okay.
- Here?
- Yeah, here.
You're sure you don't want me
to bring you to the hotel?
Yeah, here is okay.
Hi, Hugo!
Ins?
Your grandma wants you.
- What did you tell her?
- That you were at the laundry.
Take off your parka, though.
You forget everything.
It's Purple Stone, not Red.
You have a ski lift there?
A drag lift.
Look,
if we had unlimited resources,
I'd install a quad chairlift
to replace that one.
Would be ideal financially.
Where were you?
At the laundry.
Aren't you hungry?
No.
Lidia made you something yummy.
No.
Mrs Techa?
This would be a real step up,
right, Cristina?
We have a three km drag lift there.
It's brand new.
And it's the best in the area.
Lina?
- Let's go inside.
- Leave me.
I can't go inside.
Okay, we'll stay here.
What are the poles for?
Do you use them too?
It's just procedure.
What do you expect to find
under the snow?
That's not where she is!
No, of course not.
Remember the last time she did this?
She just came back.
You know her.
I know.
I know!
What happened?
Tell me.
I don't know.
You think it's because of me?
No.
Don't say that.
You mustn't think that.
This area looks out
on the valley and mountain,
so I think it's ideal.
So building a drag lift there
could be worth the effort.
Definitely!
Ins?
Sweetie, finish your homework.
It would be so wonderful
to leave your apartment in slippers
and get straight into skis.
Just amazing!
I want you to listen to me!
Those two
will never get anything done!
Posing there in uniform,
acting all important!
I can do it myself!
I don't go there
until my parents come back.
Techa, leave it to me.
And where are your parents?
In Spain.
Because of the Seville Expo?
That iceberg is crazy, isn't it?
- What's going on?
- This embassy is so useless!
And the Germans
are famed for their efficiency!
Poor woman, right?
We've done all we can.
Ricardo managed to get the army
to come with a helicopter.
They flew over the area
for two days.
But they had to leave.
One must respect the mountain.
That girl was asking for it.
She had already
gone off alone twice!
How many times do we tell them?
Even if you're a skiing champion,
if you get caught in the fog,
you don't find your way out.
- It's so sad!
- Terrible.
Did Hanna tell you
something about Alexander?
Something like what?
I don't know...
Did she talk about him?
No.
Sit here.
I know that
Hanna's going to come back.
Why?
Because she told me.
She told me she was going
to come here for summer.
To see me.
When Hanna comes back
and all of this finishes,
can I go with you to Germany?
Yes.
Look, the rosettes
on each of the pillars.
And this year, we could put them
on the beams too.
- With the garlands.
- Exactly.
All the tables up against the wall.
And to leave plenty of space,
take out the armchairs.
We were really cramped last year.
I'd put the officials' table there.
So, should we leave the stage here too?
No, no, no. Always in front of the mural.
But...
No, lets leave the head table
as it always is.
And should we leave the grill outside?
I dont think so.
Id leave it downstairs, because...
Last year, this was nothing
but smoke and mirrors.
Those little rascals
sure put out a lot of smoke.
All smoke.
Are we going to have a spit-roast?
What are you planning to do?
Oh, come on, all Ricardo wants
is to show off in front of the Spaniards.
People around here
like things to be picturesque.
Tourists love that.
Who is it?
It's me, Ins.
I wanted to give you this.
What is it?
It's Hanna's.
I took it from Alexander's room.
Thank you.
I want to read you something.
"It snowed all night.
"When I woke up, the window was blank
as if the world had been erased.
"I stayed in bed longer than usual.
"I didn't feel like getting up.
"I feel like it less and less.
"Alex was very serious this morning.
"He didn't even look at me
when I passed him.
"He just marked out the trail
and left.
"I fell on the ice
and scraped my hand.
"As we waxed the skis,
""he was angry.
I said:
'I've thought about you'.
"He simply replied:
'Try not to think so much'.
"I wanted to ask what to do with
the things you don't think about
"but are still there.
"I didn't say it. I never will."
Where did you get it?
I thought
I'd understand her better.
Like you do.
You understand
a lot more than I do.
No.
I don't believe you.
You read things into it
that aren't there and don't exist.
It's a teenager's diary,
you can read anything into it.
Shall I read you some more?
Do you want...
to read everything
she writes about you?
Finding whose fault it is,
is pointless.
Okay.
Why didn't you tell me
you had her diary?
I wanted to, at first.
Then I thought
it wouldn't be good for you...
to read all that.
Why?
Because it drives you crazy.
Promise me nothing happened.
I love Hanna like my own daughter.
But she's not your daughter.
And?
I want you to explain
why she was feeling unwell.
We all go through rough patches.
You know perfectly well
what it means to be an elite athlete.
You hurt her...
I'm not perfect.
Maybe I made some mistakes.
We all do.
But you wanted her
to be in this world, you know it.
With its challenges.
It's hard.
It's brutal.
That's high-performance sport!
- It was even worse in East Germany.
- You have no idea!
Maybe, but you went through it
and didn't run away.
- I did run away!
- It's different.
Maybe not!
Maybe it was the same.
Why won't you give it up?
Why hurt yourself?
You won't find any meaning,
not in this book.
I know it's hard to accept.
You can't explain everything.
The only one who can explain
is Hanna,
and she's not here.
Are you mad?
Pack your things.
I don't want to see you again.
Hello!
I have no matches,
but some embers.
Light it in the embers.
In the embers.
Light it there.
Is it lighting?
No?
Should I help?
Give it to me.
It's alight now.
Thank you.
You're not from here, right?
Are you from the US?
- Do you speak Spanish?
- No Spanish.
I never saw you around.
You're not from around here.
Bye.
You shouldn't have taken this.
Why did you do this?
Go to your grandparents.
- Don't you want me to look for--?
- No.
I said go.
I'm not your mother, Ins.
Leave.
Leave.
Wait.
Take your stuff.
Go.
Go.
Oh Mama,
oh, my Lord,
Mama, I'm crying,
my sweetheart is gone,
that's why I'm weeping so...
Is that song too sad?
There's one my grandma
used to sing to me,
when I lived with her
as a little girl.
Melon heart...
You missed these two nails.
Look.
They're only half painted.
In a report on
Sbado Gigante
in Seville, they wear these dresses.
I made her a Spanish dress.
I made you a Spanish dress.
Yes, Mum,
but that was different.
How long it will take?
Just a second, sweetie.
Just a second.
Sonia?
Can you give me a hand?
The last little stitch...
- Can you cut it?
- Yes. There?
What a pretty little girl!
It looks gorgeous on her!
- Do a dance step, sweetie.
- Thanks, Grandma.
Go on, sweetie, do a step.
A step, a spin and a tap.
You want the stick?
No, it's mine.
One, two...
Hey, no!
Here's our little treasure!
Where were you, Ins?
Where were you, sweetie?
Where have you been
all this time?
I told you
it was just for a moment!
The boy is waiting
for her to dance.
Luck, little scamp.

THE MELTDOWN
Genaro, where is my grandma?
I haven't seen her.
Go on, off to bed.
Paty, do you copy?
Paty, it's Sonia.
Do you copy?
I copy, Mrs Sonia.
Over.
They're waiting.
We're already late.
I had to come back.
I forgot something. Over.
Have you seen Ins?
Yes, I just saw her,
I'll bring her now. Over.
Stop lying. You know Mrs Techa
doesn't like her sleeping down there.
Get over here, please.
And bring her. Over.
Copy, Mrs Sonia.
You don't want me sleeping here?
You know what Mrs Sonia said.
And this bed
is smaller than a matchbox.
- We're squashed together.
- No, we sleep fine.
You're big enough
to sleep alone.
Look, you're growing
a moustache!
Those blondies again.
Ins, what are you doing?
Nothing...
Put that back where you got it
or Mrs Sonia will yell at me.
Don't tell anyone.
Okay.
Vista del Volcn Hotel.
Sorry?
Sorry?
Repeat me, please.
I don't understand this woman.
Hello.
They're training now.
Okay, Miss Lina, I will
personally take care
that Hanna gets this
message. I'm Ins. Bye.
Who was that?
Hanna's mother.
What did she say?
Do my homework
and I'll tell you.
How would I do that?
It's all in English!
The math, at least.
Even worse!
Shall we call your mum?
No, I don't want to.
Go on, Ins.
Let's make the most
of the good line.
No.
Hot German chick!
- Which one?
- The blonde!
She was looking at me.
In your dreams...
I swear.
Give me time.
I swear!
Happy birthday to you...
Stop it!
When will you stop
making fun of me?
When?
Kiss! Kiss!
Hey, guys!
Stop now!
Go!
Get out of here!
Stop this noise, Hanna!
The same shit every day!
That was my bread!
You've eaten its arm!
So what, dickhead?
You ripped its arm off!
Sebastin!
Don't forget
I'm your big brother!
Grandma's coming!
And this is Panchito.
Motherfucker!
This man makes the best bread
in the area.
They've tried
to lure him away, but...
We keep him here, right?
- And these are my grandchildren.
- Lovely.
Nice to meet you. Sebastin.
Don't you say hello?
Hello!
And my granddaughter.
So sweet!
I'm taking you back to Madrid.
She's not
in the inventory, Cristina.
You can take me instead!
What a nerve, Sebastin!
Taste the hot bread.
What is it?
Can I go skiing?
And your homework?
Techa, give her a break.
Just for a while, right?
Our little scamp goes skiing?
You like skiing now?
Ask him how long
he's been here.
What happens, are you giving up?
You come down at a good speed,
at a good pace,
but at the last three gates,
you're a lady at a five'o clock tea!
You're not a lady!
Hanna is a lady!
Shut up until you stop
skiing like a scarecrow!
Look.
See that line?
Stay focused until then, okay?
Gate by gate,
don't give up,
one more, come on!
- I did three runs more than they did.
- But they'll never be skiers.
I can't take any more.
- What?
- I can't take any more.
Just a last one, go on.
- My boot's hurting me.
- Where?
Show me.
Better?
You'll make it, okay?
Go on!
- Last one!
- Hey!
Group one is going down!
I wanted to give you this.
Thank you. Should I open it?
Yes.
It's so beautiful!
I made it myself.
It had an accident.
My cousin ate the arm.
Thank you.
I won't eat the...
The other one?
- Arm.
- Yes?
Last run!
But I like it a lot!
Hanna! So?
- Get going!
- Yeah.
Okay, I have to go.
Bye!
King Juan Carlos of Spain
opened the first commemoration
of the 500th anniversary
of the discovery of America.
Three hours later,
Chile opened its own pavilion.
Call Techa, where is she?
With the Spaniards.
She can bring them too!
Genaro, call her.
While the temperature outside
was over 40 degrees,
in the Chilean pavilion,
it was kept no higher than six
to preserve this wonder.
Is that the iceberg?
I thought it'd be bigger.
Don't you like it, Marcelita?
No, it makes us seem frigid too.
We're warmer than that in Chile!
It's Dad!
Speak of the devil...
So handsome, Mr Rodrigo!
We're a modern country,
a trustworthy country,
both politically and economically.
It's such an achievement,
after 17 years of dictatorship!
The transition has been orderly,
based on consensus
and solid agreements.
Which other Latin American country
can say that?
What do you say to the critics?
Why an iceberg?
I think it's the right thing
to show off cultural expressions
that don't focus on the pain
we lived as a country.
This isn't the place for that.
You can't exhibit pain,
you exhibit possibilities.
We say:
"Come to invest in Chile,
"help us turn
our wealth into progress,
"becoming a nation of champions."
How about your dad?
Where were you?
And the Spaniards?
Forget the Spaniards, will you?
Amparo says that iceberg is melting.
- Where did you hear that?
- Mum told me.
- Your mom, Ins!
- Where?
There, with the camera.
- No, that's a guy, Sonia.
- Which video camera?
I'm sure, I saw her
with the camera, Ricardo!
- She took my camera?
- You told her to film the journey!
Don't you remember, Ricardo?
I don't remember.
This man is losing his memory,
my God!
This is a really weird place.
Because of the military.
They trained here.
The military?
Were there soldiers here?
Yes, they're supposed
to guard the border, I think.
But they haven't come here
in a long time.
My grandfather knows them.
And his friend told him
they wouldn't be using
this place any more.
Now, some Spaniards came here
and they want to buy the land
to build buildings for the tourists.
They want to build buildings here?
Really?
I don't really think it's going to work
How far is the border?
Can you walk there?
I don't know how it is
in the winter.
I've only done it in summer.
I can't imagine this place
in summer.
Do you have summer in Germany?
Yes, but I'm not there a lot
if it's not winter.
We always move as soon as
the snow melts.
So, snow is like your life now?
Yes.
The whole iceberg?
No, they cut it in pieces with a saw.
How did it not melt on the way there?
It did melt, a little bit.
Don't tell anybody.
I won't.
It's over there.
Okay.
And Germany, they're also
going to bring something?
They could've brought you
to represent German athletes.
Me?
Chile brought Ivn Zamorano.
- Who's that?
- You don't know him?
He's a very famous
soccer player here in Chile.
No, I don't know him.
So you go down like I did.
And then you kind of go like this,
so you can see
in what direction you want to throw it.
And then you have the thing,
and you go like this.
And you kind of...
You kind of flick the stone.
Flick it from the side.
I'm so bad.
It's fine, but this time just listen
to the sound. Try to listen to it
See?
Now wait here.
You really have to go down
to your knees, stay back...
No, like this.
And also go down like this.
Okay, so...
Do you have more stones?
No, I'll can go grab some.
Hanna?
Close your eyes.
Open them.
Matches! I lost mine.
Thank you.
You smoke?
- You want to try?
- No.
I'm too little.
True.
Can you do this?
You have one tooth
wider than the other one.
Yes, because I lost one of them
in a skiing race.
Look.
I don't think
I can really do them!
What are you trying to do?
Smoke rings,
you know what they are?
When you smoke and then...
it's supposed to become a ring.
Cool.
I also lost a tooth.
- Really?
- But it was a milk tooth.
Show me.
You're lucky, the Tooth Fairy
is gonna come and give you money.
Wait.
Does the Tooth Fairy exist in Chile?
No.
Here, it's supposed to be a mouse.
It's called
El Ratn Prez.
But I know it's the parents.
And my parents are on
the other side of the world, so...
Do you miss them?
our parents?
I don't know.
Do you?
My mother and I
get along better from afar.
And I don't know my dad.
Really?
No, he's from a country
that doesn't exist any more.
Can you paint my other hand?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
And you, Miss?
She wanted
pisco
.
She's of legal age.
Years?
Eight-and-ten.
A soft, then.
Sour or
piscola
?
- Recommend?
-
Piscola
.
Chilean typical.
You'll have to deal with me, kiddo.
She's 14, tops.
- You from here?
- Right here.
Born and raised right here.
In these lands.
There was no hotel!
You tell her.
He was born here
before there was a hotel.
When this land
were of his family.
My dad,
my mum,
Sonia,
and this baby, it's me.
Sonia is his sister.
The one from reception.
You look like her.
Me?
Much better looking!
Him?
Another brother.
Does he also work here?
No.
To... volcano?
The route?
She asks for
the route to the volcano.
Me, skiing? Not so good.
Sebastin.
He's a good skier.
Double whiskey?
Yes, please. Thank you.
There you are...
Hi! How are you?
What's that?
A typical Chilean soft drink.
You guys
have the same nail polish?
It's nice!
Don't stay up late, okay?
- Thanks.
- Good night.
See you tomorrow.
- Who's Sebastin?
- He's my cousin.
- Ah, him.
- Ins?
Ms Techa says it's your bedtime.
Just to ruin the best moment!
I have to go to sleep.
You wanna go
skiing with me tomorrow?
- Can you?
- Yeah, tomorrow's a free day.
Keep some distance
from this left edge
because the wind forms
thin cornices over here,
and you don't wanna mess
with cornices.
Yes, I got it.
Anyway, I'm sure that
you can handle it,
I've seen your practice,
you're a great skier.
If you want, I can go with you.
No, I have your map,
I'll figure it out, I won't get lost.
Okay.
Do you want something to drink?
Have you tried
piscola
before?
Yes, I've tried it.
I'm not that creative, I guess.
But can you guys drink?
No.
- No.
How about dancing?
Very badly.
I mean, there is a disco,
in the hotel.
Yes, I know, and I want to go
but they don't let us in.
And I can't anyway.
We can go after, if you want.
But you told me
that you don't know how to dance.
We got to practice.
If you want to go, we have to practice.
Right now.
- Show me.
- Okay, so...
My grandpa taught me this one.
Oh, he taught you this?
I can do this!
Do you see? It's easy,
so you know how to dance
Do you want another one
of this?
Yeah? Okay.
I can walk by myself!
Stop!
Strip!
What? Why should I strip?
To take a shower.
- Why should I?
- Get in the shower!
Stop arguing and get in the shower!
Okay.
You stink!
Who were you with?
You know I was alone.
- Sure?
- Yes, do I have to say it again?
We've talked about this so often!
I can't believe it.
You do whatever you want,
you throw it all away.
You're wasting my time.
The water's cold.
Do as I say.
If you want to waste your talent,
go ahead.
It's up to you.
Don't force me to do that.
Don't go!
Please, don't go.
Stay with me,
I don't want to be alone.
Hanna?
Can I sleep with you?
Frozen feet.
Who's there?
Sebastin!
I brought your jacket.
You forgot this.
Thank you.
By the way, where were you?
You disappeared.
That guy wouldn't leave you alone?
Do you want...
to go and see the sunrise?
There's a really nice viewpoint.
We can watch.
You want to go now?
We won't get cold with this.
Want to try?
- What is it?
- It's good. Try it.
Get some more.
Hey, stop!
It's good, isn't it?
Ok, ok. I'll be quiet
Close the door.
I must get dressed.
Okay, sure.
I'll wait for you.
Who's there?
Your cousin.
Such a funny kid!
- May I get in?
- No!
Why not?
- Because!
- I need the bathroom.
- Come on!
- Sorry.
Need help with something?
No.
Just wait.
This is really nice.
Here.
Where is this scarf from,
is that a German scarf
from German sheep?
Hey, let's go!
Come on!
Your cousin's here.
She won't mind.
Keep your skis straight,
and downhill!
When?
At what time?
The one from the ski team.
Skis straight!
Any news downhill?
- Absolutely nothing.
- Nothing?
- Nothing downhill.
- Nothing...
Nothing. Alright, then. Were all set.
You are closing?
Yes, I'm closing.
Attention, base, do you copy?
Base here. Receiving, Mr Ren.
The patrol just arrived,
so we can stop now.
Turning off engines.
Copy that.
The patrol didn't report anything?
Negative. There's no news.
Ask around in your cabins, please.
Yes.
Maybe she went down to the village.
We have no idea.
She's 14 years old.
It's absurd!
Why do we need to wait 48 hours?
We can't do anything until then.
Since you're upset and hold foreigner
status, we could start searching.
- Well?
- Nothing.
Shit!
Explain to the young man
that recently a girl went missing.
We made every effort,
and she turned up three days later.
She'd run away because she was
banned from seeing her boyfriend.
Listen, I have a contact.
I've asked for a helicopter.
Why don't they have a team here?
They're mountain police.
Why don't they have a team right here?
What does he want? You want money?
You want
dinero?
You can't offer me money.
- Get off me!
- Let's calm down!
Could you give me
Mrs Juanita's number?
Maybe she saw her at her kiosk.
Thank you!
Give it to me, please.
Yes, I have a pen.
Yes.
Thank you very much, Mrs Ruth
Come, sweetie,
put on your pyjamas.
Insita...
Ins, come on!
Sometimes girls that age
are rebellious and do these things.
Hanna went out with Sebastin
last night.
Seba came to her room
looking for her.
How do you know?
I was sleeping with Hanna.
Have you told your grandma?
You can't tell anyone.
Clear the area!
Please, clear the area!
Are you worried
about your friend?
Don't worry.
She'll show up freezing cold,
but everyone's looking for her.
It happens to adventurers like you,
who love getting lost.
Ins?
Were you with her before she left?
How many times have I told you
not to go into guests' rooms?
Were you alone with her?
Who else was with you?
Sebastin.
What did they do together?
Tell me.
Sebastin kissed Hanna.
Do you realize what you're saying?
It's very serious.
Because we don't know
where that girl is.
Think if somebody
heard you say that,
and accused you both.
We'd all end up in prison!
After all I've told you,
in every possible way:
"Behave yourself
while the Spaniards are here!"
What if someone finds out?
- They mustn't?
- Right.
It would be a disaster
for the family.
After everything
your grandpa and I have done
to achieve all this!
You can't tell anyone else
that you were with Hanna
before she left.
You know nothing.
I know nothing.
Nobody knows anything.
Are we clear, Ins?
- Ins?
- Yes.
I don't think your little head
has seen a brush today...
Go and get the brush.
Let's untangle this mess.
Stop crying!
You're not five years old!
Buck up!
Sebastin!
Sebastin, open up!
- Insita, go to Sonia.
- What's going on?
Nothing. Go on.
Go on, Ins.
Hurry up!
Your backpack!
- Take this money.
- Thanks.
- What do I tell the Germans?
- That your holidays are over.
Clean up your face.
LINA WOLF - WORLD RECORD
Hanna!
Hanna!
Hanna!
Sonia?
And nobody picks up this phone!
Sonia!
Thanks.
Why are her things not in her room?
The police decided.
Don't worry.
We'll put this in her room.
Thank you.
Come into the office.
Into the office, please.
This way.
We flew over the area by helicopter
but didn't find anything.
So, tomorrow, the whole patrol
will set up camp
in the same area,
to search on the ground.
Why not leave now?
Tell the lady the team has been
working for over thirty hours
and needs to rest.
Climbing again now would be dangerous.
And why... why do you...
Why do you think she's in this area?
Please tell the lady
that we're bending over backwards
to solve this.
We're all worried,
we're on top of things, we're helping.
We're currently combing
the upper area of the volcano
because we know
the girl asked about that trail.
She is...
She was...
How do you know
about the volcano?
We questioned people.
Which people?
Just people.
People from the hotel,
those close to her...
Mr Alexander told us
it's not the first time
this girl has exhibited
this type of erratic behaviour.
That's happened before.
This is different.
No, it's not different.
It's something else.
No, because given our research
and our information,
this girl didn't get on very well
with the team.
Explain to her
that it's a girl who likes conflict.
She didn't get along well
with her team.
He wonders if you know,
about the team.
Yes, but...
Why have they...?
Did you look
in the other areas already?
Ask him if other people...
Are there other people
searching elsewhere?
Yes, we are searching
the lower part with volunteers
and I'll lend them a policeman
to help, because...
Tell her
I can't leave the station unstaffed,
if any problem comes up,
there's no one there.
Tell her not to worry, those people
were all born and raised here,
the volunteers know the mountain
better than anyone.
Has anyone ever disappeared?
Have there been
disappearances before?
Miss,
this is a mountainous area...
She told me that she'd like to help,
to take part in the search.
That's not possible.
I understand her,
but family must stay out of this,
it's emotionally and technically
beyond them.
- The best way to help is...
- So why is he allowed?
Why him?
The young man is a mountain athlete.
He's an athlete.
You think I'm incapable?
She was an athlete too.
How many years ago?
Let's get serious, buddy.
She knows neither the area
nor the method.
She could put us all in danger.
It's like fathers in a delivery room.
Their nerves are contagious.
Let the doctor handle the birth.
If you don't know, you can't help.
Do you think Hanna's dead?
We must keep hoping
and tell ourselves no.
And your brother?
That's different.
But do you think he's alive?
No.
But we should not lose hope.
We have to keep searching.
Do you have a copy machine?
Yes.
- Yes?
Can you translate this into Spanish?
Help me.
"Lost. Hanna Wolf.
"14 years old.
"Blonde hair.
"Blue eyes.
"One meter, 64cm."
What does it say here?
Purple parka and red scarf.
"Purple parka.
"Red scarf."
Do you want to put the...
the hotel's phone number?
Yes, please, the number.
And the hotel's number.
Can you ask her to
put this picture in the middle?
Like this?
She's asking to put this
in the middle of the sheet.
Yes.
I'll take care of it.
One moment, please.
How far is the town?
She said this to you,
she wants to be alone?
Yes.
- And do you know why?
She told me that
she was tired with the training.
And she couldn't see anything.
She always asked me where she could
find places where she could be alone.
What places? Where?
I could take you there.
It's not far.
It's close to the hotel.
Yes, we go there.
So, what did you do in the bar?
Did Hanna drink alcohol?
No.
We just ate french fries.
And after the bar,
did you see her again?
No.
They called me to go to bed.
Have you seen her?
Hanna?
You?
No.
Ask them if they can
bring the flyer in school
and then you put it somewhere.
She's asking
if you can take it to your school
and put it up there.
Yes.
It's flying away!
You threw it?
Did you throw it?
-
Look me in the eye and tell me!
- It wasn't me!
Was it her?
- Why are you laughing?
- Leave me alone!
Why are you laughing?
Leave her alone!
- You piece of shit!
- Stop!
Come here.
I said come!
Crazy
gringa
...
Translate.
Tell her she's a piece of shit.
I said translate!
Come here.
Give me your hand.
The other one.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
Can you forgive me?
You're sure?
What else has Hanna told you?
I already told you everything.
She told me that you were
a very famous ice skater
from another country
that doesn't exist any more.
And you escaped.
Don't tell anyone.
Don't worry,
I won't tell anybody.
Hanna!
Hanna!
Hello!
Hello.
You're looking for Hanna?
We'll carry on tomorrow.
Wait. Ins!
Hello!
- Can you translate?
- Okay.
Can you ask them
if they have news?
She asks if you have news.
Tomorrow.
We'll carry on tomorrow.
They're going to keep
looking for her tomorrow.
Tell her that after the rain...
there's less snow
and it's easier to search.
What did he say?
Now that it's raining more,
it's easier to...
to look for people.
We'll carry on looking
tomorrow, okay?
Thank you...
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Hanna!
Hanna!
Here, it's okay.
- Here?
- Yeah, here.
You're sure you don't want me
to bring you to the hotel?
Yeah, here is okay.
Hi, Hugo!
Ins?
Your grandma wants you.
- What did you tell her?
- That you were at the laundry.
Take off your parka, though.
You forget everything.
It's Purple Stone, not Red.
You have a ski lift there?
A drag lift.
Look,
if we had unlimited resources,
I'd install a quad chairlift
to replace that one.
Would be ideal financially.
Where were you?
At the laundry.
Aren't you hungry?
No.
Lidia made you something yummy.
No.
Mrs Techa?
This would be a real step up,
right, Cristina?
We have a three km drag lift there.
It's brand new.
And it's the best in the area.
Lina?
- Let's go inside.
- Leave me.
I can't go inside.
Okay, we'll stay here.
What are the poles for?
Do you use them too?
It's just procedure.
What do you expect to find
under the snow?
That's not where she is!
No, of course not.
Remember the last time she did this?
She just came back.
You know her.
I know.
I know!
What happened?
Tell me.
I don't know.
You think it's because of me?
No.
Don't say that.
You mustn't think that.
This area looks out
on the valley and mountain,
so I think it's ideal.
So building a drag lift there
could be worth the effort.
Definitely!
Ins?
Sweetie, finish your homework.
It would be so wonderful
to leave your apartment in slippers
and get straight into skis.
Just amazing!
I want you to listen to me!
Those two
will never get anything done!
Posing there in uniform,
acting all important!
I can do it myself!
I don't go there
until my parents come back.
Techa, leave it to me.
And where are your parents?
In Spain.
Because of the Seville Expo?
That iceberg is crazy, isn't it?
- What's going on?
- This embassy is so useless!
And the Germans
are famed for their efficiency!
Poor woman, right?
We've done all we can.
Ricardo managed to get the army
to come with a helicopter.
They flew over the area
for two days.
But they had to leave.
One must respect the mountain.
That girl was asking for it.
She had already
gone off alone twice!
How many times do we tell them?
Even if you're a skiing champion,
if you get caught in the fog,
you don't find your way out.
- It's so sad!
- Terrible.
Did Hanna tell you
something about Alexander?
Something like what?
I don't know...
Did she talk about him?
No.
Sit here.
I know that
Hanna's going to come back.
Why?
Because she told me.
She told me she was going
to come here for summer.
To see me.
When Hanna comes back
and all of this finishes,
can I go with you to Germany?
Yes.
Look, the rosettes
on each of the pillars.
And this year, we could put them
on the beams too.
- With the garlands.
- Exactly.
All the tables up against the wall.
And to leave plenty of space,
take out the armchairs.
We were really cramped last year.
I'd put the officials' table there.
So, should we leave the stage here too?
No, no, no. Always in front of the mural.
But...
No, lets leave the head table
as it always is.
And should we leave the grill outside?
I dont think so.
Id leave it downstairs, because...
Last year, this was nothing
but smoke and mirrors.
Those little rascals
sure put out a lot of smoke.
All smoke.
Are we going to have a spit-roast?
What are you planning to do?
Oh, come on, all Ricardo wants
is to show off in front of the Spaniards.
People around here
like things to be picturesque.
Tourists love that.
Who is it?
It's me, Ins.
I wanted to give you this.
What is it?
It's Hanna's.
I took it from Alexander's room.
Thank you.
I want to read you something.
"It snowed all night.
"When I woke up, the window was blank
as if the world had been erased.
"I stayed in bed longer than usual.
"I didn't feel like getting up.
"I feel like it less and less.
"Alex was very serious this morning.
"He didn't even look at me
when I passed him.
"He just marked out the trail
and left.
"I fell on the ice
and scraped my hand.
"As we waxed the skis,
""he was angry.
I said:
'I've thought about you'.
"He simply replied:
'Try not to think so much'.
"I wanted to ask what to do with
the things you don't think about
"but are still there.
"I didn't say it. I never will."
Where did you get it?
I thought
I'd understand her better.
Like you do.
You understand
a lot more than I do.
No.
I don't believe you.
You read things into it
that aren't there and don't exist.
It's a teenager's diary,
you can read anything into it.
Shall I read you some more?
Do you want...
to read everything
she writes about you?
Finding whose fault it is,
is pointless.
Okay.
Why didn't you tell me
you had her diary?
I wanted to, at first.
Then I thought
it wouldn't be good for you...
to read all that.
Why?
Because it drives you crazy.
Promise me nothing happened.
I love Hanna like my own daughter.
But she's not your daughter.
And?
I want you to explain
why she was feeling unwell.
We all go through rough patches.
You know perfectly well
what it means to be an elite athlete.
You hurt her...
I'm not perfect.
Maybe I made some mistakes.
We all do.
But you wanted her
to be in this world, you know it.
With its challenges.
It's hard.
It's brutal.
That's high-performance sport!
- It was even worse in East Germany.
- You have no idea!
Maybe, but you went through it
and didn't run away.
- I did run away!
- It's different.
Maybe not!
Maybe it was the same.
Why won't you give it up?
Why hurt yourself?
You won't find any meaning,
not in this book.
I know it's hard to accept.
You can't explain everything.
The only one who can explain
is Hanna,
and she's not here.
Are you mad?
Pack your things.
I don't want to see you again.
Hello!
I have no matches,
but some embers.
Light it in the embers.
In the embers.
Light it there.
Is it lighting?
No?
Should I help?
Give it to me.
It's alight now.
Thank you.
You're not from here, right?
Are you from the US?
- Do you speak Spanish?
- No Spanish.
I never saw you around.
You're not from around here.
Bye.
You shouldn't have taken this.
Why did you do this?
Go to your grandparents.
- Don't you want me to look for--?
- No.
I said go.
I'm not your mother, Ins.
Leave.
Leave.
Wait.
Take your stuff.
Go.
Go.
Oh Mama,
oh, my Lord,
Mama, I'm crying,
my sweetheart is gone,
that's why I'm weeping so...
Is that song too sad?
There's one my grandma
used to sing to me,
when I lived with her
as a little girl.
Melon heart...
You missed these two nails.
Look.
They're only half painted.
In a report on
Sbado Gigante
in Seville, they wear these dresses.
I made her a Spanish dress.
I made you a Spanish dress.
Yes, Mum,
but that was different.
How long it will take?
Just a second, sweetie.
Just a second.
Sonia?
Can you give me a hand?
The last little stitch...
- Can you cut it?
- Yes. There?
What a pretty little girl!
It looks gorgeous on her!
- Do a dance step, sweetie.
- Thanks, Grandma.
Go on, sweetie, do a step.
A step, a spin and a tap.
You want the stick?
No, it's mine.
One, two...
Hey, no!
Here's our little treasure!
Where were you, Ins?
Where were you, sweetie?
Where have you been
all this time?
I told you
it was just for a moment!
The boy is waiting
for her to dance.
Luck, little scamp.
