Stop staring.
Lidia!
Careful!
Lidia, come back!
Lidia!
THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE
OF THE FLAMINGO
Eagle.
A little higher. Cover
the curtain ruffle and the wood.
- Here?
- There, yeah.
Right there.
You should've thought of that, girl.
Mama?
And you, my love, why are you up?
- Have you seen the girl?
- The girl?
She's playing in my garden.
I looked out and didn't see her.
She's gotta be around, girl.
You know she gets in between
the sticks, the rocks,
she goes out to play a bit
and then comes back.
Hey.
Go wash that glass with bleach, now.
For every infected faggot
here in the canteen
twenty infected miners
appear in the village.
In the canteen,
four of us are infected, alive,
and two of us passed away.
Lioness?
And that gives a total of...
Lioness?
Have you seen the girl?
Your girl's outside.
Hi Boa, I'm back.
Where was my little monkey at?
Boa's garden.
I don't buy it.
Who did that to your neck?
You, with your nails.
I ain't got nails.
Did you go out with those kids again?
Yeah, I did.
But it's your fault.
Cause' you didn't teach me to fight.
Goddamn it, Lidia.
I've told you
not to hang out with them.
- I'll show em' you've got a mother.
- I don't want us to go.
Eagle, Chinchilla,
come to the lagoon with me?
Those kids beat up the girl.
Again? Fucking brats!
Let's go beat em' up!
You go ahead,
I'll finish up here.
Girls!
Why'd you wanna go to the lagoon?
They beat Lidia up.
- Let's go. We gotta beat them up.
- Let's go.
Butterfly, come back here.
You'll stay in charge of the canteen.
Beat the fuck out of them!
Clean, clean.
Don't look at the faggot.
Clean, clean,
he'll give you the plague.
Clean, clean,
the eyes must be covered.
Clean,
clean,
the faggot will kill you.
Mister!
Look over here!
Look, a titty!
- Come on! I know you wanna look.
- Yes!
Last night you couldn't stop staring!
Cut the bullshit.
What did you say? Bullshit?
You walk ahead!
We're all walking, let's go!
You in the front, I said.
- Don't listen to her!
- Lidia, do as you're told.
- I don't see anything.
- No one's here.
They'll come.
- Flamingo, I don't see anyone.
- See? No one's here.
Girls!
What?
Flamingo!
The kids ain't over here either.
If they ain't here,
why don't we get in the water a bit?
I think so, I dunno.
Are there fish?
- Maybe...
- Let's see, get closer!
Fucking bitches!
Watch your mouth!
Look, Mama!
The girl's here.
What are ya doing there? Get in!
- Lidia, come.
- Come on, Lidia, jump in!
One, two...
Three!
Hang on.
- Let me go!
- Let the kid bathe.
Let me go!
Who's the prettiest auntie?
Choose the prettiest auntie
and come with her!
- I take care of ya.
- I should go back.
- Come on.
- Jump in, Lidia.
- Come on in.
- Jump in.
The prettiest auntie... For real?
One, two, three!
Come on!
- Look at the bitch...
- I'm the favorite!
- She's tossed us aside!
- Now go over there, kid.
No! Don't touch me!
Eagle!
Why do your panties
have a big bulge in the front?
Cold water didn't do it for ya,
honey.
How've you been feeling, child?
I was looking at ya this morning
and you woke up with more color,
looking a bit better.
Did the herbs I gave you
make ya feel any better?
I'd take it out intact.
Cause she's so open.
Cause I'm a pro.
It's a hard-boiled egg.
Me, I put an egg in
and take out a pecking chicken.
Mama...
Flamingo, look.
The boys came over.
Shit. Hey, look!
- Wanna go?
- Careful.
Leave em' to me.
They're gonna come closer.
- We doing this or what?
- Let's just go for it
Hey, Lidia!
Don't stay there, go.
- We gotta tease them.
- Let's go.
- Go ahead.
- You ain't got no balls.
Hey Lidia!
Wanna play?
Does she look like she wants to play?
No one's talking to ya, man.
I'm talking to ya!
I don't wanna talk to ya,
fucking monster.
Alright, let's go.
- Girls, like I taught ya.
- The girl can't defend herself?
Who are you calling
a fucking monster, kid?
You, you piece of shit!
So what?
Think you can just come here?
Think the girl came alone?
- I'll beat the fuck out of you!
- You're gonna beat me up?
- I'm gonna beat you up!
- Oh, yeah?
- Come on then.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck, asshole?
- Throw him there.
- Get the fuck off me!
So you like to mess
with transvestites?
You feel so manly, don't ya?
Beating my girl?
Open your fucking eyes
or I'll smash your face!
Open them!
- The girl ain't alone this time.
- Shut up.
So you like to mess with the girl?
So you like to mess
with transvestites?
Plague!
Pablo, let's go!
Go mess with someone else!
- Hurry!
- Fucking faggots!
Proud to be one.
Well done, girls.
- They're a fucking pain.
- That's how you do it.
Those assholes ain't gonna mess
with you anymore!
Stop it!
Do you have a fever?
No.
You should go to bed.
And miss the pageant?
I could be a whore,
I could be a thief.
I could be a liar.
But never a deserter.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Why?
The girls told me who's coming.
You're nosy, kiddo.
Come on, who's coming?
I ain't gonna tell you!
Don't get your hopes up about him!
Alright? Don't.
And this mic? Is it on, girl?
Testing, testing!
- We're ready to present them!
- Thank you.
Good evening! Welcome, everyone,
to the annual Miss Alaska Pageant,
where the desert dresses up
and I can present to you
the parade of all my beasts,
where they'll show their art,
seduction,
beauty, congeniality, talent
and last but not least,
their mischievousness.
Look at me.
- What's happening to me, Lioness?
- Breathe.
Spirits of the beyond!
Enter this body.
Now!
Fucking faggots!
I pity you!
Say your name!
- My name is Stormy!
- Stormy...
Good job!
Thank you so much!
- Bravo!
- Bye!
The most beautiful beast
in this desert.
The one who's won the competition
for seven consecutive years.
And we don't know what fate
holds for her tonight.
A handsome man during the day,
and an extremely beautiful
woman at night.
Her name is, Flamingo!
Beautiful Flamingo!
That man that you see over there
That seems so gallant
So attentive and arrogant
I know him like I know myself
That man that you see right there
That appears to be divine
So warm and affectionate
Can only make people suffer
He's a complete idiot
A conceited fool
And he's got no heart
Full of jealousy
without reason or motive
Impetuous like the wind
Rarely tender
Insecure about himself
Bearable as a friend
Intolerable as a lover
The man that you see right there...
Excuse me.
Relax.
It's all good.
I just wanted to ask
the contestant a question.
Yovani.
Get out of this house!
Before you piss me off!
I gotta a gun in my pocket.
If I'm not the presenter,
I'll shoot you.
If anybody moves,
I'll shoot all of ya.
You think me and my girls
are gonna shake like a leaf
in front of a gun, you idiot?
We're transvestites.
Sit down, Boa!
I'm chill, Eagle!
Let's continue the interview.
It's very important
to get to know the contestant.
To delve deeper
and really get to know her.
Right, Flamingo?
If not for Flamingo,
you wouldn't know
how to touch women, you swine.
What are you doing here, Yovani?
Get out if you don't want me
to lose my shit.
First question.
Is it easy for you to fall in love?
Did you fall in love
with a 32-year-old man?
A man like me?
With a mole
right here,
just like the one I've got?
No.
Then why am I sick?
Sick with what?
You looked at me...
- Cut it out.
- Let her go!
Flamingo,
please.
Get this out of me.
Take this plague out of me,
please, I'm begging you.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Help me.
Please.
Look at me, Flamingo.
Please, I beg you.
This disease can't be cured.
At all.
Son of a bitch!
Girls, now.
Get him!
- Yovani!
- Faggot! Asshole!
Let go of me, fucker!
- What are you doing?
- The gun!
- Faggot!
- Let me go, you bastard!
Let her fucking go!
Where are you going?
Don't touch my girl.
Don't touch my mother, asshole!
Throw him to the ground!
Darling.
Forgive me.
There.
Your hand...
Your hand.
Come on.
Lie down.
- Lie down with me.
- Yeah. I'm coming.
My girl...
Have you seen all those miners
who sneak
into the transvestites' rooms?
Yeah.
To them, the girls are...
like a secret.
And I don't wanna leave
this fucked up world
being a secret, darling.
I don't.
Another one'll come.
Everyone likes the legs
of a Nordic model.
I feel so selfish sometimes, Lidia.
When they abandoned you
outside the canteen,
I promised I'd take care of you
like a mother.
But every time I...
think about dying,
I think about dying with you.
I couldn't bear going to hell
without you.
I adore you, my little monkey.
Flamingo.
Flamingo.
Flamingo, open the window,
I wanna talk to you.
Go away.
I need to go to the bathroom.
I'm about to piss myself.
Take a piss outside.
Don't pretend you're all fancy.
Go away, asshole.
It's too cold outside.
I'm scared of pissing alone.
Do you want us to beat you up again?
I can call the girls,
it's no problem, Yovani.
Go away.
If you don't open the window
I'm gonna knock
until everyone wakes up.
You've got thirty seconds.
You know where the bathroom is.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm a flamingo
and I lost the need
to take a leak.
Shut up, idiot.
You'll wake Lidia up.
Why don't we go
to our secret place?
Let's go
to our secret place together.
One, and that's it.
Im gonna splash you!
One, two...
Come on.
That's it.
Gimme your hand, like this.
Enough.
One, two...
I'm cold.
Come on! It ain't cold.
- Enough, I'm cold.
- I know, it's fine.
Why are ya getting out?
- Yovani!
- We're having fun!
- Let go.
- Come.
Cut it out!
Stop!
Let me go.
Asshole!
Stupid fuck!
Let me go, Yovani, please.
I can't breathe.
I was just playing.
Relax, love. It's okay.
Girls, wake Mama Boa up.
Star, wake Mama Boa up,
we gotta to go to the lagoon.
Whats up, Eagle?
Why are you waking me at this hour?
Come on, wake up.
Piranha...
Wake up, faggot.
We gotta go, now.
Calm down, faggot, speak!
We gotta go see Flamingo.
We're almost there!
We've got the wood!
We'll drop it off and go.
We're almost there! Quick, quick!
- Stay with the girl.
- Boa! I don't want to!
Not now.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Come on, mama, let's go.
Where the old fuckers are at.
- Let go of me.
- No, Lidia! Stay!
Let me go!
Lidia, no.
Let her! She knows!
Don't go over there, Lidia!
Lidia, come back!
Come back!
Kid! Come! Please!
My treasure.
Dear gods
who are here for all of us.
Dear gods
who are here
for the dismembered animals.
Dear gods
who are here for the skins
that were burned.
Dear gods,
if you're here for all of us,
I want to ask you for justice.
Hey.
Can I have a bit?
It looks yummy.
Are you crazy?
Or are you just being stupid?
Lidia.
Go to the cabinet behind you.
There's a little box. Take it out.
Open it.
Inside,
there are scissors.
They'll be useful.
Get this out of me.
Help me.
INFESTED
Hey! Little girl!
There's no one inside!
I GOT LOSIN YOUR MYSTERIOUS GAZE
Your...
mysterious...
gaze...
Hey, little girl!
Come out, I wanna talk to ya.
Come out.
Hello.
Hello.
What happened to the guy
who lived there?
The one with the plague?
Yes.
They took him to the capital.
Who?
The fancy lady who took care of him.
She talked with me a lot.
She gave me these sandals.
Look how pretty they are!
Lidia?
Are you okay?
Alright... You throw.
Oh! It skipped.
You're not so bad.
- I won!
- No, it sank.
- It went that way.
- It sank.
- I won.
- No, it sank.
- No, I won.
- Throw another one.
Look, there's some more here.
You look pretty today.
Cut the bullshit.
I'll forgive ya if you hit that one.
- You'll forgive me?
- Yeah.
For giving you a compliment?
Look where I threw it,
you're pretty bad.
I'm bad at this?
Yes, you can tell.
- Let's go.
- But there's one here.
There's something in your hair.
What is it? A bug?
That was you, liar.
Hey.
Do you know anything
about the plague?
Flamingo didn't tell you anything?
I'm asking you for a reason.
I don't want to speak badly
about someone you love.
Tell me.
Alright.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Trust me.
Focus, close them.
Do you want me to tell you?
Shut them.
Both.
Close your eyes.
Focus.
I'll tell you what I know
and you're gonna imagine it.
The miners say it all began
when a hunter met his prey.
The winner and queen of this pageant
is...
My daughter, Flamingo.
Bravo!
The hunter is very intelligent.
And the prey is...
a good person.
Could we get to know each other
better in private?
My baby's sleeping here.
It'd have to be farther away.
Are you a mother?
Yeah.
And I looked stunning pregnant.
Where are we going?
The hunter tricks him
into going to a darker place.
Where are we going?
To do something
terribly terrible to him.
Cold.
Flamingo?
Hot.
The hunter wants him to fall in love.
Hot.
But not as we imagine.
Very hot.
Julio.
What happens after?
Then...
The men die little by little.
Just by falling in love?
I'm not sure...
That's what people say.
Julio,
why do men fall in love
if it's so dangerous?
I think it's because...
to hunt or to be hunted,
is inevitable for all animals.
Mama Boa. Look.
Let's go, miners!
The desert to protect!
Let's go, miners!
The desert to protect!
Mama, come!
The old men are here.
Gentlemen of the canteen,
the older, retired miners,
the miners
with acquired disabilities,
we meet in front of your property
to protect the honorable men
of the plague
that is cruelly affecting our town.
Because of the danger
that could be caused
by the actions of the inhabitants,
the venturing into society
of all persons living here
will be restricted.
Let them come in!
To carry out this preventive act...
Should we beat them up
inside or outside?
...the male miners
who are today in front of you
will be in charge of monitoring
and of covering your ocular globes.
We request that all measures
are fully complied with.
Let's go!
Get these infested scumbags!
- I won't cover a thing!
- You won't! Son of a bitch!
Are you gonna wear it,
you dirty bastard?
Motherfucker!
Get out! Let go of me!
Put the blindfold on!
Son of a bitch!
Stay here, faggot.
Relax, faggot.
The curtain...
Slowly, slowly.
There. Careful, here.
Wait a moment.
Lidia, hurry up!
Faster, fast!
Who else would I be calling
in this empty desert?
Those old bastards
came to guard us. Hush!
He's comin'.
Over here, my love!
What's wrong with him?
He's half blind.
What the fuck happened, Star?
You've got a strong grip, don't you?
Can I read those hands?
Don't be proud.
Give me your hands,
lemme read them.
Your life's been touched
more by suffering than by happiness.
It's been like a rollercoaster.
You learned things
and God has had mercy on you.
Lots of money
has passed through your hands.
Women, pleasures, and good living.
You also have a descendant.
She lives in the capital.
What's her name?
Isabel.
You must love her a lot.
A ton.
- Mama Boa. Lidia is fine.
- Mister.
Miss.
Your blindfold?
Mama, I wanted to ask for your room
so I can rest by myself.
I've had to help all the fags...
Where's your watchman?
He went to the desert
to buy cigarettes.
You must use a blindfold!
The rules in this house
are set by me!
- You like the massage?
- Yes...
- It's sweet.
- So sweet.
Who's gonna pin the tail
on the donkey?
Looks like the surveillance service's
been cancelled.
Did you ever see Flamingo like that?
Lioness,
what do you know about the plague?
Have I told you the story
about my first love?
A miner who brought me
plastic flowers
at the canteen every night.
Here, at the door.
I was so in love that I smelled
eucalyptus on the plastic pieces.
Besides, he was a historian
of ancient Greece.
He said I stole Venus de Nilo's arms.
You know Venus de Nilo?
She's famous.
One day I got all my stuff
and ran away with him.
We walked through the desert,
kilometres.
And when we were getting to the car,
eight men appeared.
They all took off my dress,
panties,
and they grabbed my testicle so hard,
that they pulled it out like this.
I learned
this was the only type of love
these men could give us.
That's why I wished for what I did.
This gift, for all the fags.
I need to go out for a bit.
We don't infect children,
don't worry.
Hey?
And if it was against the miners,
why did you get sick?
Side effect.
Lioness.
Can you tell me the truth?
What was wrong with Flamingo?
Ask her mom.
If there's anyone who knows
about love and fags,
it's Mama Boa.
This is my secret garden.
I come here
when I'm sick of the fags.
Look at me, Clemente.
There's no gun anymore.
Did you know that before,
here in the house,
none of the fags had animal names?
- No?
- No.
I named them all
after animals, poor things.
Lioness, for example.
I named her Lioness
cause of her uncombed hair.
Like a lioness.
And Star...
Cause when I first met her,
she was young, insolent, pretty.
Thought the sun shone
out of her ass! She still does.
Swearing she was the eighth wonder of
the world, walking down the street...
Okay, you're Star!
She shines on her own.
Piranha...
When I realized she'd sneak
those men into her room...
She'd dry them right up.
She'd come out
using a bone as a toothpick.
You're funny.
Ya think so?
Hey! Slow and steady wins the race.
I don't kiss unless I'm married.
But do you know what we can do?
Dance.
To what music?
To the song in our minds.
I've already got a song.
I'm listening to it now.
Hold me tight, I've got a bad leg.
I'm no longer the Boa
I was twenty years ago.
Clemente,
can you hear the music?
Moving it like this.
We move it a lot and it accelerates.
No. You're moving the bike,
you have to do it like this.
Leave it still
and then turn it like this.
- Just backwards?
- Do this and you won't go forward.
But if you do it like this, you will.
Right, gimme your other hand.
- And here...
- Here what?
- What will we do if you fall?
- We'll just fall.
You fall, I fall.
Will it damage the bike?
If the bike's damaged,
then what do I do?
- You buy another one.
- Oh yeah, sure.
You have a booger, look!
Look, come here!
- Stop messing with me.
- Come, look!
Did I ever tell you
why I gave Flamingo her name?
No.
Cause when he was small,
he was fat.
He looked like a cork.
And one day he showed up
at the doorstep,
and asked me if he had fat legs.
I stared at him
and told him he didn't.
I told him his legs
were long and pretty
just like a flamingo's.
But he was still chubby.
That's how she ended up as Flamingo.
And you?
Why's your name Boa?
Damn, you're cheeky.
You'll never know!
You're too young
to know bout that shit.
Lidia's mom is weird!
Does it make you angry?
Wake up! Hit me.
Stand like this, cover your face.
Throw me a punch.
Come on! Yeah!
See? I caught your punch.
It's just practice.
What about my face?
You gonna leave it untouched?
Leave me a souvenir!
Just like we transvestites do!
Hit here.
Give Pablo some punches.
Beat him up. More.
There! You feeling powerful?
Put your hands here.
If you hit men there in between,
you'll take the wind outta them.
They won't even be able to breathe.
More! Stronger!
Stronger! You gotta hit his balls.
There.
Let it sound loud!
And let it hurt! There you go!
My leg's hurting, my sick leg.
Hold on, Lidia.
Get me a glass of water.
Now get me a glass of water.
Then we can keep going.
- Girl...
- You have a fever.
A glass of water and it goes away,
and then we keep going. Hurry!
What am I? Huh? Am I invisible?
Who am I?
You've got the plague.
No girl, it's the desert heat.
Come on! Let's keep practicing.
You've got the left, right?
Your face, my love. Here.
Strong.
Flamingo.
Flamingo.
What's the matter, my little monkey?
Flamingo.
Why did Yovani do that to you?
Cause he's a beast.
Full of fear and barely any love.
And the plague?
Lidia.
Did you ever see
anything bad in my eyes?
No.
Me neither.
Mystery solved.
Boa?
Yeah?
Can I give you a hug?
As long as it's long and beautiful.
- Mom!
- Mom, let's get out.
Mom, let's get out, please!
Yes, we're going to get out.
I'll finish this and we'll go.
You promised Grandpa
you wouldn't smoke.
It's just one.
It's not a big deal!
Quit fussing.
- Please.
- Quit your damn fussing.
Enjoy the view.
It's so beautiful.
No, please let's get out.
We'll get out now.
Just let me finish this.
Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Not a word to Grandpa,
or else you're punished!
Hi!
How are you?
You're so big!
How you've grown!
Hello, darling.
You're finally here.
Hello.
You look stunning, darling.
- Your beard is so big!
- Yeah.
Look at this hair! So pretty!
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Are you Isabel?
- Yes.
- You're so pretty, Isabel.
- So are you.
- You're Boa, right?
- I'm Mama Boa.
A pleasure, darling, welcome.
When have you faggots
ever seen a boa on top of a donkey?
Long live the bride!
Ready?
We are gathered here
to consecrate, in sacred marriage,
Mama Boa
to Don Clemente Amenbar.
So beautiful!
Are you gonna say something?
Yes.
I want to tell everyone
that in these months,
Clemente has been the only one
who has treated me well,
and who believed
that when I was young,
I was an ice skater
back in Santiago.
I've worked with men my whole life,
but, if there were more men
like Clemente,
we transvestites wouldn't be
as trapped as we are.
That's why, Clemente,
I'm staying with you
in sickness, in health,
in poverty, in wealth.
Till death do us part.
And I'm saying yes.
I accept you as my husband.
Beautiful, Mama.
And you,
are you gonna say something?
That...
He's nervous.
I can't...
So, should we move on to the rings?
They're so pretty.
So, Don Clemente.
Do you take Mama Boa as your wife,
in blood and semen?
Yes, I accept.
And you, Mama Boa?
Do you take Don Clemente
to be your husband?
Yes.
In blood and semen!
Yes, I do.
You can kiss now!
- Long live the couple!
- Bravo!
Applause for the couple!
I'm married, girls!
Hello, Clemente!
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers to love!
- Where's the prettiest one?
- Here!
The one who's gonna be next!
One!
Two!
Three!
It's mine! Let go!
Don't start there!
Watch out, you'll turn me on!
Watch the drool!
Hey, I'm still a lady.
That's right!
Make a wish, my love.
I already got my wish.
You just have to love me.
With pearls, with flowers.
Lick it! Lick it!
- Having a good time?
- Yes.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- What?
Do you know
who's about to kick the bucket?
Don't say it's Chico Alfonso.
Chico Alfonso's got the plague?
No.
- Last night I dreamt of him.
- What about?
It was a dirty dream.
But sad too.
- No, stupid!
- Who?
Yovani!
The motherfucker who killed Flamingo.
Shut up!
That fucker should live another
ten years just to breathe with pain.
They say they won't burn him
like the rest.
Why?
Cause his mom knows some guy,
in the other town.
Eagle?
Is Yovani in town?
Did he ever leave?
Lidia?
Lidia?
Do you wanna go inside?
Little Yovani
Little Yovani
Yovani, your departure came early
Today, in this farewell
With my voice
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Welcome.
I'll be right back.
- Where are you going?
- Wait here.
And you? Who are you?
His mother.
He's under the bed.
I smelt it from the front door.
I don't smell anything.
Can I see him?
On one condition.
Will you help me clean him?
Did you ever see anything strange
in his eyes?
You seem too smart
to believe in that nonsense.
Do you know
how this thing is transmitted?
It's when men fuck each other
and leave their semen
inside their anuses.
Everything else
are stories.
Only stories told by cowards.
I wanna know something else.
Is there a cure?
There's no cure,
not even in rich countries.
Can you help me turn him over?
His eyes need to be closed.
I'm going to get something.
SOME TIME LATER
There. Be careful. Focus.
Okay! We're going to go like this...
to let them dry.
This food's so good!
A little spoonful?
Why not?
Grandpa made these lentils.
Do the girls go to school?
Yes.
And which grade
would Lidia be starting?
I don't really know.
I ain't going with her.
Leave those clothes
where they belong, girl.
I do what I want!
It's for your own good.
Stupid girl.
I like this one. It's pretty.
- I like this one. So cute!
- Try it on.
If you'd taken better care of us,
Flamingo would still be here.
Lidia, do you wanna play with us
in the car?
- No.
- Go, Lidia.
- It'll do you good.
- I don't want to.
We made a clubhouse in the car.
I don't want to.
Lidia, obey. Go.
No.
I'm telling you, you damn brat!
Go play with those girls!
And leave me alone!
Go!
I've had it with you!
Bye, Julio.
Bye, Lidia.
Lidia, come play at the clubhouse.
- Have a safe trip to the capital.
- Thanks.
My dear...
I'm gonna check on my girl.
Drive safe.
She's sleeping.
Goodbye, little flamingo.
Be a good girl.
My little girl...
Lidia!
Lidia,
come back!
Girls, stay in the car.
My little monkey!
Wanna dance?
I caught you.
THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE
OF THE FLAMINGO
- Psyche!
- Come on, you pussy.
Whoa, he's gonna fall!
Plague!
Yo, Lidia!
What the fuck, you scared?
Come on, Julito's waiting for ya.
NORTHERN CHILE, 1982
Hurry up, dude.
Come on, Lidia!
Now, let's go!
- Turn her over!
- She's soaked.
- Stop! Let me go.
- Get her!
- Get her! Get her!
- Let me go!
Think you're so tough?
Let me go.
Guess what.
Plague.
- I got water in my mouth...
- Don't swallow.
Lidia...
Those guys are losers.
Stop staring.
Lidia!
Careful!
Lidia, come back!
Lidia!
THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE
OF THE FLAMINGO
Eagle.
A little higher. Cover
the curtain ruffle and the wood.
- Here?
- There, yeah.
Right there.
You should've thought of that, girl.
Mama?
And you, my love, why are you up?
- Have you seen the girl?
- The girl?
She's playing in my garden.
I looked out and didn't see her.
She's gotta be around, girl.
You know she gets in between
the sticks, the rocks,
she goes out to play a bit
and then comes back.
Hey.
Go wash that glass with bleach, now.
For every infected faggot
here in the canteen
twenty infected miners
appear in the village.
In the canteen,
four of us are infected, alive,
and two of us passed away.
Lioness?
And that gives a total of...
Lioness?
Have you seen the girl?
Your girl's outside.
Hi Boa, I'm back.
Where was my little monkey at?
Boa's garden.
I don't buy it.
Who did that to your neck?
You, with your nails.
I ain't got nails.
Did you go out with those kids again?
Yeah, I did.
But it's your fault.
Cause' you didn't teach me to fight.
Goddamn it, Lidia.
I've told you
not to hang out with them.
- I'll show em' you've got a mother.
- I don't want us to go.
Eagle, Chinchilla,
come to the lagoon with me?
Those kids beat up the girl.
Again? Fucking brats!
Let's go beat em' up!
You go ahead,
I'll finish up here.
Girls!
Why'd you wanna go to the lagoon?
They beat Lidia up.
- Let's go. We gotta beat them up.
- Let's go.
Butterfly, come back here.
You'll stay in charge of the canteen.
Beat the fuck out of them!
Clean, clean.
Don't look at the faggot.
Clean, clean,
he'll give you the plague.
Clean, clean,
the eyes must be covered.
Clean,
clean,
the faggot will kill you.
Mister!
Look over here!
Look, a titty!
- Come on! I know you wanna look.
- Yes!
Last night you couldn't stop staring!
Cut the bullshit.
What did you say? Bullshit?
You walk ahead!
We're all walking, let's go!
You in the front, I said.
- Don't listen to her!
- Lidia, do as you're told.
- I don't see anything.
- No one's here.
They'll come.
- Flamingo, I don't see anyone.
- See? No one's here.
Girls!
What?
Flamingo!
The kids ain't over here either.
If they ain't here,
why don't we get in the water a bit?
I think so, I dunno.
Are there fish?
- Maybe...
- Let's see, get closer!
Fucking bitches!
Watch your mouth!
Look, Mama!
The girl's here.
What are ya doing there? Get in!
- Lidia, come.
- Come on, Lidia, jump in!
One, two...
Three!
Hang on.
- Let me go!
- Let the kid bathe.
Let me go!
Who's the prettiest auntie?
Choose the prettiest auntie
and come with her!
- I take care of ya.
- I should go back.
- Come on.
- Jump in, Lidia.
- Come on in.
- Jump in.
The prettiest auntie... For real?
One, two, three!
Come on!
- Look at the bitch...
- I'm the favorite!
- She's tossed us aside!
- Now go over there, kid.
No! Don't touch me!
Eagle!
Why do your panties
have a big bulge in the front?
Cold water didn't do it for ya,
honey.
How've you been feeling, child?
I was looking at ya this morning
and you woke up with more color,
looking a bit better.
Did the herbs I gave you
make ya feel any better?
I'd take it out intact.
Cause she's so open.
Cause I'm a pro.
It's a hard-boiled egg.
Me, I put an egg in
and take out a pecking chicken.
Mama...
Flamingo, look.
The boys came over.
Shit. Hey, look!
- Wanna go?
- Careful.
Leave em' to me.
They're gonna come closer.
- We doing this or what?
- Let's just go for it
Hey, Lidia!
Don't stay there, go.
- We gotta tease them.
- Let's go.
- Go ahead.
- You ain't got no balls.
Hey Lidia!
Wanna play?
Does she look like she wants to play?
No one's talking to ya, man.
I'm talking to ya!
I don't wanna talk to ya,
fucking monster.
Alright, let's go.
- Girls, like I taught ya.
- The girl can't defend herself?
Who are you calling
a fucking monster, kid?
You, you piece of shit!
So what?
Think you can just come here?
Think the girl came alone?
- I'll beat the fuck out of you!
- You're gonna beat me up?
- I'm gonna beat you up!
- Oh, yeah?
- Come on then.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck, asshole?
- Throw him there.
- Get the fuck off me!
So you like to mess
with transvestites?
You feel so manly, don't ya?
Beating my girl?
Open your fucking eyes
or I'll smash your face!
Open them!
- The girl ain't alone this time.
- Shut up.
So you like to mess with the girl?
So you like to mess
with transvestites?
Plague!
Pablo, let's go!
Go mess with someone else!
- Hurry!
- Fucking faggots!
Proud to be one.
Well done, girls.
- They're a fucking pain.
- That's how you do it.
Those assholes ain't gonna mess
with you anymore!
Stop it!
Do you have a fever?
No.
You should go to bed.
And miss the pageant?
I could be a whore,
I could be a thief.
I could be a liar.
But never a deserter.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Why?
The girls told me who's coming.
You're nosy, kiddo.
Come on, who's coming?
I ain't gonna tell you!
Don't get your hopes up about him!
Alright? Don't.
And this mic? Is it on, girl?
Testing, testing!
- We're ready to present them!
- Thank you.
Good evening! Welcome, everyone,
to the annual Miss Alaska Pageant,
where the desert dresses up
and I can present to you
the parade of all my beasts,
where they'll show their art,
seduction,
beauty, congeniality, talent
and last but not least,
their mischievousness.
Look at me.
- What's happening to me, Lioness?
- Breathe.
Spirits of the beyond!
Enter this body.
Now!
Fucking faggots!
I pity you!
Say your name!
- My name is Stormy!
- Stormy...
Good job!
Thank you so much!
- Bravo!
- Bye!
The most beautiful beast
in this desert.
The one who's won the competition
for seven consecutive years.
And we don't know what fate
holds for her tonight.
A handsome man during the day,
and an extremely beautiful
woman at night.
Her name is, Flamingo!
Beautiful Flamingo!
That man that you see over there
That seems so gallant
So attentive and arrogant
I know him like I know myself
That man that you see right there
That appears to be divine
So warm and affectionate
Can only make people suffer
He's a complete idiot
A conceited fool
And he's got no heart
Full of jealousy
without reason or motive
Impetuous like the wind
Rarely tender
Insecure about himself
Bearable as a friend
Intolerable as a lover
The man that you see right there...
Excuse me.
Relax.
It's all good.
I just wanted to ask
the contestant a question.
Yovani.
Get out of this house!
Before you piss me off!
I gotta a gun in my pocket.
If I'm not the presenter,
I'll shoot you.
If anybody moves,
I'll shoot all of ya.
You think me and my girls
are gonna shake like a leaf
in front of a gun, you idiot?
We're transvestites.
Sit down, Boa!
I'm chill, Eagle!
Let's continue the interview.
It's very important
to get to know the contestant.
To delve deeper
and really get to know her.
Right, Flamingo?
If not for Flamingo,
you wouldn't know
how to touch women, you swine.
What are you doing here, Yovani?
Get out if you don't want me
to lose my shit.
First question.
Is it easy for you to fall in love?
Did you fall in love
with a 32-year-old man?
A man like me?
With a mole
right here,
just like the one I've got?
No.
Then why am I sick?
Sick with what?
You looked at me...
- Cut it out.
- Let her go!
Flamingo,
please.
Get this out of me.
Take this plague out of me,
please, I'm begging you.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Help me.
Please.
Look at me, Flamingo.
Please, I beg you.
This disease can't be cured.
At all.
Son of a bitch!
Girls, now.
Get him!
- Yovani!
- Faggot! Asshole!
Let go of me, fucker!
- What are you doing?
- The gun!
- Faggot!
- Let me go, you bastard!
Let her fucking go!
Where are you going?
Don't touch my girl.
Don't touch my mother, asshole!
Throw him to the ground!
Darling.
Forgive me.
There.
Your hand...
Your hand.
Come on.
Lie down.
- Lie down with me.
- Yeah. I'm coming.
My girl...
Have you seen all those miners
who sneak
into the transvestites' rooms?
Yeah.
To them, the girls are...
like a secret.
And I don't wanna leave
this fucked up world
being a secret, darling.
I don't.
Another one'll come.
Everyone likes the legs
of a Nordic model.
I feel so selfish sometimes, Lidia.
When they abandoned you
outside the canteen,
I promised I'd take care of you
like a mother.
But every time I...
think about dying,
I think about dying with you.
I couldn't bear going to hell
without you.
I adore you, my little monkey.
Flamingo.
Flamingo.
Flamingo, open the window,
I wanna talk to you.
Go away.
I need to go to the bathroom.
I'm about to piss myself.
Take a piss outside.
Don't pretend you're all fancy.
Go away, asshole.
It's too cold outside.
I'm scared of pissing alone.
Do you want us to beat you up again?
I can call the girls,
it's no problem, Yovani.
Go away.
If you don't open the window
I'm gonna knock
until everyone wakes up.
You've got thirty seconds.
You know where the bathroom is.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm a flamingo
and I lost the need
to take a leak.
Shut up, idiot.
You'll wake Lidia up.
Why don't we go
to our secret place?
Let's go
to our secret place together.
One, and that's it.
Im gonna splash you!
One, two...
Come on.
That's it.
Gimme your hand, like this.
Enough.
One, two...
I'm cold.
Come on! It ain't cold.
- Enough, I'm cold.
- I know, it's fine.
Why are ya getting out?
- Yovani!
- We're having fun!
- Let go.
- Come.
Cut it out!
Stop!
Let me go.
Asshole!
Stupid fuck!
Let me go, Yovani, please.
I can't breathe.
I was just playing.
Relax, love. It's okay.
Girls, wake Mama Boa up.
Star, wake Mama Boa up,
we gotta to go to the lagoon.
Whats up, Eagle?
Why are you waking me at this hour?
Come on, wake up.
Piranha...
Wake up, faggot.
We gotta go, now.
Calm down, faggot, speak!
We gotta go see Flamingo.
We're almost there!
We've got the wood!
We'll drop it off and go.
We're almost there! Quick, quick!
- Stay with the girl.
- Boa! I don't want to!
Not now.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Come on, mama, let's go.
Where the old fuckers are at.
- Let go of me.
- No, Lidia! Stay!
Let me go!
Lidia, no.
Let her! She knows!
Don't go over there, Lidia!
Lidia, come back!
Come back!
Kid! Come! Please!
My treasure.
Dear gods
who are here for all of us.
Dear gods
who are here
for the dismembered animals.
Dear gods
who are here for the skins
that were burned.
Dear gods,
if you're here for all of us,
I want to ask you for justice.
Hey.
Can I have a bit?
It looks yummy.
Are you crazy?
Or are you just being stupid?
Lidia.
Go to the cabinet behind you.
There's a little box. Take it out.
Open it.
Inside,
there are scissors.
They'll be useful.
Get this out of me.
Help me.
INFESTED
Hey! Little girl!
There's no one inside!
I GOT LOSIN YOUR MYSTERIOUS GAZE
Your...
mysterious...
gaze...
Hey, little girl!
Come out, I wanna talk to ya.
Come out.
Hello.
Hello.
What happened to the guy
who lived there?
The one with the plague?
Yes.
They took him to the capital.
Who?
The fancy lady who took care of him.
She talked with me a lot.
She gave me these sandals.
Look how pretty they are!
Lidia?
Are you okay?
Alright... You throw.
Oh! It skipped.
You're not so bad.
- I won!
- No, it sank.
- It went that way.
- It sank.
- I won.
- No, it sank.
- No, I won.
- Throw another one.
Look, there's some more here.
You look pretty today.
Cut the bullshit.
I'll forgive ya if you hit that one.
- You'll forgive me?
- Yeah.
For giving you a compliment?
Look where I threw it,
you're pretty bad.
I'm bad at this?
Yes, you can tell.
- Let's go.
- But there's one here.
There's something in your hair.
What is it? A bug?
That was you, liar.
Hey.
Do you know anything
about the plague?
Flamingo didn't tell you anything?
I'm asking you for a reason.
I don't want to speak badly
about someone you love.
Tell me.
Alright.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Trust me.
Focus, close them.
Do you want me to tell you?
Shut them.
Both.
Close your eyes.
Focus.
I'll tell you what I know
and you're gonna imagine it.
The miners say it all began
when a hunter met his prey.
The winner and queen of this pageant
is...
My daughter, Flamingo.
Bravo!
The hunter is very intelligent.
And the prey is...
a good person.
Could we get to know each other
better in private?
My baby's sleeping here.
It'd have to be farther away.
Are you a mother?
Yeah.
And I looked stunning pregnant.
Where are we going?
The hunter tricks him
into going to a darker place.
Where are we going?
To do something
terribly terrible to him.
Cold.
Flamingo?
Hot.
The hunter wants him to fall in love.
Hot.
But not as we imagine.
Very hot.
Julio.
What happens after?
Then...
The men die little by little.
Just by falling in love?
I'm not sure...
That's what people say.
Julio,
why do men fall in love
if it's so dangerous?
I think it's because...
to hunt or to be hunted,
is inevitable for all animals.
Mama Boa. Look.
Let's go, miners!
The desert to protect!
Let's go, miners!
The desert to protect!
Mama, come!
The old men are here.
Gentlemen of the canteen,
the older, retired miners,
the miners
with acquired disabilities,
we meet in front of your property
to protect the honorable men
of the plague
that is cruelly affecting our town.
Because of the danger
that could be caused
by the actions of the inhabitants,
the venturing into society
of all persons living here
will be restricted.
Let them come in!
To carry out this preventive act...
Should we beat them up
inside or outside?
...the male miners
who are today in front of you
will be in charge of monitoring
and of covering your ocular globes.
We request that all measures
are fully complied with.
Let's go!
Get these infested scumbags!
- I won't cover a thing!
- You won't! Son of a bitch!
Are you gonna wear it,
you dirty bastard?
Motherfucker!
Get out! Let go of me!
Put the blindfold on!
Son of a bitch!
Stay here, faggot.
Relax, faggot.
The curtain...
Slowly, slowly.
There. Careful, here.
Wait a moment.
Lidia, hurry up!
Faster, fast!
Who else would I be calling
in this empty desert?
Those old bastards
came to guard us. Hush!
He's comin'.
Over here, my love!
What's wrong with him?
He's half blind.
What the fuck happened, Star?
You've got a strong grip, don't you?
Can I read those hands?
Don't be proud.
Give me your hands,
lemme read them.
Your life's been touched
more by suffering than by happiness.
It's been like a rollercoaster.
You learned things
and God has had mercy on you.
Lots of money
has passed through your hands.
Women, pleasures, and good living.
You also have a descendant.
She lives in the capital.
What's her name?
Isabel.
You must love her a lot.
A ton.
- Mama Boa. Lidia is fine.
- Mister.
Miss.
Your blindfold?
Mama, I wanted to ask for your room
so I can rest by myself.
I've had to help all the fags...
Where's your watchman?
He went to the desert
to buy cigarettes.
You must use a blindfold!
The rules in this house
are set by me!
- You like the massage?
- Yes...
- It's sweet.
- So sweet.
Who's gonna pin the tail
on the donkey?
Looks like the surveillance service's
been cancelled.
Did you ever see Flamingo like that?
Lioness,
what do you know about the plague?
Have I told you the story
about my first love?
A miner who brought me
plastic flowers
at the canteen every night.
Here, at the door.
I was so in love that I smelled
eucalyptus on the plastic pieces.
Besides, he was a historian
of ancient Greece.
He said I stole Venus de Nilo's arms.
You know Venus de Nilo?
She's famous.
One day I got all my stuff
and ran away with him.
We walked through the desert,
kilometres.
And when we were getting to the car,
eight men appeared.
They all took off my dress,
panties,
and they grabbed my testicle so hard,
that they pulled it out like this.
I learned
this was the only type of love
these men could give us.
That's why I wished for what I did.
This gift, for all the fags.
I need to go out for a bit.
We don't infect children,
don't worry.
Hey?
And if it was against the miners,
why did you get sick?
Side effect.
Lioness.
Can you tell me the truth?
What was wrong with Flamingo?
Ask her mom.
If there's anyone who knows
about love and fags,
it's Mama Boa.
This is my secret garden.
I come here
when I'm sick of the fags.
Look at me, Clemente.
There's no gun anymore.
Did you know that before,
here in the house,
none of the fags had animal names?
- No?
- No.
I named them all
after animals, poor things.
Lioness, for example.
I named her Lioness
cause of her uncombed hair.
Like a lioness.
And Star...
Cause when I first met her,
she was young, insolent, pretty.
Thought the sun shone
out of her ass! She still does.
Swearing she was the eighth wonder of
the world, walking down the street...
Okay, you're Star!
She shines on her own.
Piranha...
When I realized she'd sneak
those men into her room...
She'd dry them right up.
She'd come out
using a bone as a toothpick.
You're funny.
Ya think so?
Hey! Slow and steady wins the race.
I don't kiss unless I'm married.
But do you know what we can do?
Dance.
To what music?
To the song in our minds.
I've already got a song.
I'm listening to it now.
Hold me tight, I've got a bad leg.
I'm no longer the Boa
I was twenty years ago.
Clemente,
can you hear the music?
Moving it like this.
We move it a lot and it accelerates.
No. You're moving the bike,
you have to do it like this.
Leave it still
and then turn it like this.
- Just backwards?
- Do this and you won't go forward.
But if you do it like this, you will.
Right, gimme your other hand.
- And here...
- Here what?
- What will we do if you fall?
- We'll just fall.
You fall, I fall.
Will it damage the bike?
If the bike's damaged,
then what do I do?
- You buy another one.
- Oh yeah, sure.
You have a booger, look!
Look, come here!
- Stop messing with me.
- Come, look!
Did I ever tell you
why I gave Flamingo her name?
No.
Cause when he was small,
he was fat.
He looked like a cork.
And one day he showed up
at the doorstep,
and asked me if he had fat legs.
I stared at him
and told him he didn't.
I told him his legs
were long and pretty
just like a flamingo's.
But he was still chubby.
That's how she ended up as Flamingo.
And you?
Why's your name Boa?
Damn, you're cheeky.
You'll never know!
You're too young
to know bout that shit.
Lidia's mom is weird!
Does it make you angry?
Wake up! Hit me.
Stand like this, cover your face.
Throw me a punch.
Come on! Yeah!
See? I caught your punch.
It's just practice.
What about my face?
You gonna leave it untouched?
Leave me a souvenir!
Just like we transvestites do!
Hit here.
Give Pablo some punches.
Beat him up. More.
There! You feeling powerful?
Put your hands here.
If you hit men there in between,
you'll take the wind outta them.
They won't even be able to breathe.
More! Stronger!
Stronger! You gotta hit his balls.
There.
Let it sound loud!
And let it hurt! There you go!
My leg's hurting, my sick leg.
Hold on, Lidia.
Get me a glass of water.
Now get me a glass of water.
Then we can keep going.
- Girl...
- You have a fever.
A glass of water and it goes away,
and then we keep going. Hurry!
What am I? Huh? Am I invisible?
Who am I?
You've got the plague.
No girl, it's the desert heat.
Come on! Let's keep practicing.
You've got the left, right?
Your face, my love. Here.
Strong.
Flamingo.
Flamingo.
What's the matter, my little monkey?
Flamingo.
Why did Yovani do that to you?
Cause he's a beast.
Full of fear and barely any love.
And the plague?
Lidia.
Did you ever see
anything bad in my eyes?
No.
Me neither.
Mystery solved.
Boa?
Yeah?
Can I give you a hug?
As long as it's long and beautiful.
- Mom!
- Mom, let's get out.
Mom, let's get out, please!
Yes, we're going to get out.
I'll finish this and we'll go.
You promised Grandpa
you wouldn't smoke.
It's just one.
It's not a big deal!
Quit fussing.
- Please.
- Quit your damn fussing.
Enjoy the view.
It's so beautiful.
No, please let's get out.
We'll get out now.
Just let me finish this.
Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Not a word to Grandpa,
or else you're punished!
Hi!
How are you?
You're so big!
How you've grown!
Hello, darling.
You're finally here.
Hello.
You look stunning, darling.
- Your beard is so big!
- Yeah.
Look at this hair! So pretty!
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Are you Isabel?
- Yes.
- You're so pretty, Isabel.
- So are you.
- You're Boa, right?
- I'm Mama Boa.
A pleasure, darling, welcome.
When have you faggots
ever seen a boa on top of a donkey?
Long live the bride!
Ready?
We are gathered here
to consecrate, in sacred marriage,
Mama Boa
to Don Clemente Amenbar.
So beautiful!
Are you gonna say something?
Yes.
I want to tell everyone
that in these months,
Clemente has been the only one
who has treated me well,
and who believed
that when I was young,
I was an ice skater
back in Santiago.
I've worked with men my whole life,
but, if there were more men
like Clemente,
we transvestites wouldn't be
as trapped as we are.
That's why, Clemente,
I'm staying with you
in sickness, in health,
in poverty, in wealth.
Till death do us part.
And I'm saying yes.
I accept you as my husband.
Beautiful, Mama.
And you,
are you gonna say something?
That...
He's nervous.
I can't...
So, should we move on to the rings?
They're so pretty.
So, Don Clemente.
Do you take Mama Boa as your wife,
in blood and semen?
Yes, I accept.
And you, Mama Boa?
Do you take Don Clemente
to be your husband?
Yes.
In blood and semen!
Yes, I do.
You can kiss now!
- Long live the couple!
- Bravo!
Applause for the couple!
I'm married, girls!
Hello, Clemente!
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers to love!
- Where's the prettiest one?
- Here!
The one who's gonna be next!
One!
Two!
Three!
It's mine! Let go!
Don't start there!
Watch out, you'll turn me on!
Watch the drool!
Hey, I'm still a lady.
That's right!
Make a wish, my love.
I already got my wish.
You just have to love me.
With pearls, with flowers.
Lick it! Lick it!
- Having a good time?
- Yes.
- You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- What?
Do you know
who's about to kick the bucket?
Don't say it's Chico Alfonso.
Chico Alfonso's got the plague?
No.
- Last night I dreamt of him.
- What about?
It was a dirty dream.
But sad too.
- No, stupid!
- Who?
Yovani!
The motherfucker who killed Flamingo.
Shut up!
That fucker should live another
ten years just to breathe with pain.
They say they won't burn him
like the rest.
Why?
Cause his mom knows some guy,
in the other town.
Eagle?
Is Yovani in town?
Did he ever leave?
Lidia?
Lidia?
Do you wanna go inside?
Little Yovani
Little Yovani
Yovani, your departure came early
Today, in this farewell
With my voice
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done.
Welcome.
I'll be right back.
- Where are you going?
- Wait here.
And you? Who are you?
His mother.
He's under the bed.
I smelt it from the front door.
I don't smell anything.
Can I see him?
On one condition.
Will you help me clean him?
Did you ever see anything strange
in his eyes?
You seem too smart
to believe in that nonsense.
Do you know
how this thing is transmitted?
It's when men fuck each other
and leave their semen
inside their anuses.
Everything else
are stories.
Only stories told by cowards.
I wanna know something else.
Is there a cure?
There's no cure,
not even in rich countries.
Can you help me turn him over?
His eyes need to be closed.
I'm going to get something.
SOME TIME LATER
There. Be careful. Focus.
Okay! We're going to go like this...
to let them dry.
This food's so good!
A little spoonful?
Why not?
Grandpa made these lentils.
Do the girls go to school?
Yes.
And which grade
would Lidia be starting?
I don't really know.
I ain't going with her.
Leave those clothes
where they belong, girl.
I do what I want!
It's for your own good.
Stupid girl.
I like this one. It's pretty.
- I like this one. So cute!
- Try it on.
If you'd taken better care of us,
Flamingo would still be here.
Lidia, do you wanna play with us
in the car?
- No.
- Go, Lidia.
- It'll do you good.
- I don't want to.
We made a clubhouse in the car.
I don't want to.
Lidia, obey. Go.
No.
I'm telling you, you damn brat!
Go play with those girls!
And leave me alone!
Go!
I've had it with you!
Bye, Julio.
Bye, Lidia.
Lidia, come play at the clubhouse.
- Have a safe trip to the capital.
- Thanks.
My dear...
I'm gonna check on my girl.
Drive safe.
She's sleeping.
Goodbye, little flamingo.
Be a good girl.
My little girl...
Lidia!
Lidia,
come back!
Girls, stay in the car.
My little monkey!
Wanna dance?
I caught you.
