THE ETERNAU
[wind gusting]
[Omar] Here. Let me help.
Hold this open for a sec.
-There.
-[Inga] Okay.
Juan, come.
Come on.
[Juan] Okay.
Come here.
-[Inga] Here. Careful.
-I'll take the masks.
-[Omar] Sure.
[Inga] Come on.
[Tano] Slowly, slowly.
-[grunts] Come on, Luqui.
-[Lucas] What happened?
[Tano] Homeowners' meeting.
I'll fill you in later. Come on.
[static crackles on radio]
[Tano] Hello. CQ. Do you copy?
This is Lima, Uniform, Five, Delta, Alpha.
Is anyone on this frequency?
Please respond.
This is an emergency message.
If anyone's listening, please respond.
[sighs]
-We'll just have to try again tonight.
-[radio clicks off]
[Elena sighs]
Hey, don't worry.
It's just a matter of time
before help arrives.
[Lucas] And what if it's not help
that shows up?
What are you talking about?
Didn't you hear what happened
in Elena's building?
Why do you think they brought
that bag full of guns?
Yeah, I heard. I just don't get
why people suddenly got so violent.
-What is it that you don't get?
-[Elena] We already explained, Ana.
They cornered us, and we had no choice.
Come on.
That's fine, but what does that have to do
with my house becoming an armory?
Ana!
[Inga sighs]
Maybe we should just leave the city.
-Where would we go?
-[Lucas] Someplace far.
To your house on the island.
And how can you be sure
that place would be safer than here?
[Tano] I'm not going anywhere.
The only way you're getting me out of here
is in a body bag, all right?
I don't know, then.
[sighs deeply]
Tano, we need the car now.
[sighs] No.
We need it to find Clara.
[Tano] I'm sorry, Juan, but no.
Most of us are staying in the house.
So the car stays too.
You're not screwing me over again,
are you?
You promised you'd let us take it too.
Things have changed.
Personal searches will have to wait
for later.
[scoffs] Of course.
Your house, your rules.
[Lucas] Someone's coming.
-[Omar] Where?
-There.
[unsettling music playing]
[Lucas] They're making a turn now. There.
[Inga] He's following the tracks.
-The garage.
-Is it open?
[Tano] Stay right there! Get over here!
Right here!
Get in there!
Come on, get in there!
Come on, get in there, dammit! Go!
Get in! And give me
that thing on your back.
-[man] Yeah, okay. I'll give it to you.
-[Tano] Inga, grab it.
Sit over there.
[Inga] Oh.
[Tano] Benito?
Yeah. I've been trying to tell you that
since I got here.
-[Tano] God damn it. I'm sorry, man.
-[Benito] Yeah.
[Tano] He's the hardware guy.
[Benito] I saw Vicente's car.
I thought it was him. That's why I came.
In the morning… I was wandering around,
coming across dead neighbors…
Quique from the pharmacy, you know him?
No, no.
Laura, remember? The dance teacher?
Teo, from the grocery store?
Uh, or Roberto?
-Roberto, the MP?
-[Benito] That's the one.
He's helping me out.
That car would be really helpful.
We could bring supplies
to all those people, you know?
And why didn't Roberto come himself?
Because I came, you know?
Roberto's doing somethin' else.
What a guy, right?
I'm the only one who drives it.
Alfredo, these folks need help, okay?
Yeah, and so do we.
There's nothing special about that car.
It just works because it's old.
Old cars work.
Besides, we're out of gas.
Alfredo, I've known you for years.
At this point, no one knows anyone.
[engine turns over]
[grunts]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Inga] Son of a bitch!
-[Juan] No! No! Not without a mask.
-[grunts]
Looks like it did have
some gas in the tank, huh?
[Ana] That guy parks his car here,
and you just slam the door in his face?
[Tano] That bastard Roberto sent him
to double-cross us.
Did you forget what he did
at that meeting in '01?
[Ana] That was over 20 years ago, Alfredo!
Nobody cares.
[Lucas] It's getting late.
Sure you wanna be out after dark?
Wait until morning.
-[Juan and Elena] No.
-We've already waited too long.
We're gonna try and find a car
out there on the street. We'll see.
-What's that on the tires?
-It's for the snow.
You're going with them?
I'm going alone, man.
I don't wanna depend on anybody.
[Omar] Where the fuck am I?
The Saavedra Bridge?
[chuckles]
[foreboding music playing]
-Oh shit!
-[tires squeal]
[music subsides]
[wind howling]
[engine sputters]
-[Juan] Come on!
-[Elena] Why isn't it starting?
[Juan] I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe… it's not old enough. I don't know.
[groans]
Let's take ten.
We'll keep going after that.
And this thing decides
to run out of battery now.
Hearing aid?
-Uh-huh.
-How long have you been using it?
Oh, you know, just, uh…
a couple of months.
I mean, it's no big deal.
Speaking of old things, right?
[chuckles] You're the old one here, okay?
Complaining about everything
like an old lady.
Yeah.
Are you shooting guns again?
No. First time I've grabbed a gun
in a while.
You couldn't tell.
What do you think I should've done, huh?
You did what you had to do, right?
[vehicle approaching]
-My God.
-Lay back, Elena. Lay back. Hurry.
Get down. Don't move.
[man 1] Wait, take a look over there.
It's not working.
[man 2] That's the problem. I swear!
[man 1] Get down, then! Open the door!
[man 2] The window won't go down.
[men shouting indistinctly]
[softly] Shh.
[rifle cocks]
[man 1] Okay, screw it.
Come on. Let's go! Let's go!
[man 2] Why did they stay there?
Do they have a car?
-[engine hissing]
-[cautious footsteps approaching]
[ominous music playing]
[eerie music subsides]
[shopping cart's wheels squeaking]
[glass shatters, echoes]
[violent shattering continues]
[unsettling music playing]
What's going on?
I don't know.
It's coming from the main road.
Sounds like they're trashing everything.
[gunfire echoing in distance]
What now? Is that a gunfight?
[glass shattering in distance]
They're looting already? This soon?
What do we do if they come this way?
They won't come here.
And we'll be waiting for them if they do.
-[static crackles]
-Hello. CQ, CQ. Does anybody copy?
If anyone's listening, please respond.
[somber music playing]
This is a call for help from Argentina.
Please help.
Is anyone out there? Please respond.
We're gonna find you. I promise.
Which one's the friend?
-[Elena] This one. This is Luna.
-Uh-huh.
-Where's the office?
-Never came to a parents' meeting, huh?
Leave it to me.
I'll look for that,
and you go find us a car, will you?
Okay. Here. Take this just in case.
No. No way, no.
[Juan sighs]
Take this, then.
-An axe?
-Take it. Come on. Take it.
[vehicle approaching]
[Tano] Lucas!
[engine turns off]
[Inga] It was his order,
and I told him I'd take it.
I took his ticket to salvation from him.
I should be the one lying dead
at that park, not him.
Come on. There's no way to know.
Maybe he would've gotten caught
in the snow, and then you both would be…
-[crying]
-That's right, Inga.
Give yourself a break.
You couldn't have known.
[Tano] Did you see
anything weird out there?
Besides my dead brother?
No. It was all chill.
[Tano] We need to stay active.
We can't let sadness keep us down, right?
We can't pretend
that nothing is happening either.
We're not robots.
[Inga] I guess he's right.
If I don't keep my mind busy,
I'll lose it.
[sighs] I heard some strange noises,
but I didn't see anyone.
Not even your neighbors.
[sniffles]
Can I count on you, Inga?
I have to go out for a while.
-Where are you going?
-[Tano] We need to stock up on supplies.
Can I take the car?
I brought it back for everybody.
Tano, I'm coming with.
Just be careful out there.
You too.

[papers rustling]
[drawer closes]
[nearby clatter]
[Elena] Juan?
[loud bang]
[Elena] Juan?
Juan?
Is that you?
[banging in distance]
[tense music playing]
Anyone there?
-[banging]
-[boy] You motherfuckers!
Let me out, Gutiérrez! I'm gonna kill you!
You stupid son of a bitch, let me out!
Right now!
-[boy shouts]
-[Elena] Stop screaming.
Just calm down
and tell me your name, all right?
-[Juan] What is going on here?
-[banging]
Open up, you son of a bitch!
Are you fucking crazy?
-Come on! Open the door!
-There's a boy locked in there.
From what I understand,
apparently, they broke
into the school at night,
and he was pranked by his friends,
so that's why he's locked in there.
Awesome friends.
Where are those dumbasses?
-[boy] Come on, man!
-Out in the schoolyard.
[banging on door]
We have to do something.
I could hear him from the street.
Can't you see, Juan? He's in shock.
[loud banging continues]
-[boy] Open the door, motherfucker!
-[pounding on door]
-Who are you?
-What's your name, kid?
Go fuck yourself, asshole!
-And your last name?
-Juan.
[gasps] Pablo. My name is Pablo.
Listen to me, Pablo.
Something awful has happened.
Your friends couldn't come
and help you because they're dead.
What do you mean, dead?
Some toxic shit's been falling
from the sky for two days now.
It kills on contact.
Listen to me.
If you wanna live,
keep your mouth shut and do as I say.
No matter what. Got it?
Are you sure you get what I'm saying?
Move, you old fart!
-[door opens]
-Great move, Juan.
[somber music playing]
[Pablo breathing shakily]
How did this happen?
Nobody really knows. No idea.
My mom…
She must think I'm dead.
Can you take me home, by any chance?
We're looking for our daughter.
Her name is Clara.
She goes here.
This is her. Do you know her?
[Elena sighs]
What about her?
Luna Stefano?
Yeah, that one, I know.
They call her Loli.
Her brother's one of the jerks
who locked me up in there.
Do you remember where she lives?
If I tell you where she lives,
will you take me home afterwards?
[Lucas sighs] Where are we going?
[Tano] To the fire station.
I left some stuff there
that didn't fit in Vicente's car.
[Lucas] Shouldn't we go get food?
I thought that was
the most important thing.
[Tano] There's more than enough
in the supermarkets.
What we have to do is turn the garage
into a fortress.
[Lucas] Ah, of course.
Because now comes the part
where everybody kills each other
while fighting for supplies.
Like in those shitty TV shows
you like to watch.
Look at you.
It's like you're living
the adventure of a lifetime, isn't it?
[Tano] Let's just say
I've got a knack for surviving.
[Lucas] What's wrong?
[Tano] This was spotless when we left.
[Lucas] Why don't we get
back in the car, then?
[Tano] You keep watch.
I'm gonna go check the back.
[Tano] Benito.
Lower the gun, Roberto. They're neighbors.
I told you to keep watch.
They're like an army. What do you want?
They came out of nowhere.
They were in the truck. I didn't see.
Did you take the compressor
and the stuff I left here?
[Roberto] Yeah, why?
Are they yours?
We've started to comb the area.
We're closing off the neighborhood.
Oh, that's just great.
What a gated community.
No need to be all defensive.
It's for everyone's safety.
-Did you hear all that gunfire last night?
-Yeah, of course. It was close to us.
It was at a supermarket.
Twenty blocks away. They ransacked it.
What do you know about it?
Rumor has it, it's people
from behind the cemetery.
Guys from the slum?
That's why we need to be fast.
We need to close off all the main streets.
Put up barricades.
Nobody gets in or out.
And who made that decision?
The HOA. We had a meeting.
Like back in '01, remember?
[Benito] You're welcome to join.
By the way,
the association's giving you 24 hours
to reconsider your decision
not to let us use the garage.
[engine stops]
[Juan] Let's go.
Cover up. I'll open the door.
-Wait. I'll go with you guys.
-[Juan] No. Wait for us here.
-No, no. I wanna go with you.
-[Juan] Stay here, for fuck's sake.
WELCOME
[ominous music playing]
[Juan] Clara!
[Elena] Anyone home?
[Juan] Clara!
[Juan] Huh.
[pensive music playing]
[Juan] They're all Asian.
[sighs]
[Elena] No!
Let me go, you bitch! Mom!
-Mom!
-[Elena] Calm down.
[somber music subsides]
I knew it! That bastard came
to make our lives difficult.
I don't know.
I think we're making a mistake,
locking ourselves up.
And meanwhile, they're thinking
about others, not just themselves.
They're thinking about others.
They're thinking about us and this house.
When they show up and turn the garage
into a circus, then we'll talk.
What on earth has gotten into you?
We've known these people forever!
Oh, you're so naive, Ana. So naive.
You know how long those guys
will stay friendly? Two weeks!
After two weeks,
they'll all be shooting each other.
-Damn it, just do what I'm telling you.
-Now you're giving me orders?
You're not my father.
Just let him rest in peace.
Exactly. If your father were alive,
he'd agree with me.
No, darling, if my father were alive,
he would be sharing everything he had.
[clicks tongue, huffs]
[sighs]
It's been a day since this mess.
There has to be some good people
left out there.
[Lucas] Tano!
I heard a voice on the radio.
[tense music playing]
[static crackles]
Hello. Is there anyone out there?
[static crackling on radio]
This is Alfredo Favalli
from Argentina. Anyone there?
[man] Yes, I hear you. Do you copy?
[Tano] Yes, I copy. Who's this?
Denis Gómez from Cerro Chato, Uruguay.
Nice to meet you, Denis.
How are things going over there?
Things are a bit complicated.
You see, we're in the middle of
a very strong snowstorm right now.
[Tano] Sorry to hear that, Denis.
Things are tough here too.
Uh, any information
you can share about it?
Uh, not much. This is hitting
the entire continent, that's for sure.
I have to be brief to save battery power.
We can try to get in contact later, 'kay?
No, uh, wait, Denis. Wait a minute.
You said it hit the entire continent.
How do you know?
I'm in contact
with someone from the south of Brazil.
Where at in Brazil?
Denis, do you copy?
[static crackling on radio]
He's gone.
Huh.
[sighs] I don't get
why we can't also communicate
with that person in Brazil.
Well, at least we know
that we're not alone.
[Juan] We're back to square one.
Where are we going?
[Juan] To my house.
[Elena] To your house? Why?
[Juan] I don't know. We can think, uh…
We can look for something
that'll help us find Clara. I don't know.
-This kid's fever is through the roof.
-He can tough it up.
-Come on. Let's go to Favalli's.
-He's gonna be fine!
We'll give him something later.
[Elena] He's alone.
He doesn't have anyone.
He's our responsibility.
[Juan sighs]
Damn it! For fuck's sake!
Think, Juan Salvo.
What if it were your daughter?
How would you want her to be treated?
DRUGSTORE
[Juan] Is the fever that high?
Put Clara's mask on the kid.
[Juan] Hurry up!
[sighs] Sit over there.
Open your mouth.
There.
[knocking on door]
-[knocking continues]
-[woman] Help!
Please, help me!
[knocking frantically]
Please!
What do you want?
-Huh?
-[woman groaning]
I'm in labor right now!
-My water broke! I'm begging you!
-[Juan] We don't work here.
-This is closed!
-[Elena] Juan, Jesus.
-She's pregnant!
-[Juan] Why are you opening?
[Elena] I'm opening! Come in.
She's covered in snow.
Don't touch her. Come in. Hurry up.
-[Elena] Sit down here.
-[woman] Ow, it hurts!
-[Elena] It's okay. It's okay.
-[screams]
-Try to breathe.
-Ow, ow, it hurts!
I'm a doctor. My name's Elena.
-What's your name?
-Julieta.
Breathe, breathe.
You're having contractions.
It's going to be okay. Lie down here.
Come on.
[laughs] I guess
it won't be premature after all.
-What?
-[Julieta] Are you stupid?
It won't be premature after all.
-[man] Don't move, or I'll shoot.
-[Julieta] Give me the keys!
Wait, we were helping you.
Don't point that--
Shut the fuck up!
Give me the car keys, asshole!
-No need for that.
-[Julieta] Now!
Relax. No need to get worked up. Here.
-There.
-[Julieta] Give me.
-[man] Shut up. Go to the back. Go!
-Okay.
Lock 'em up so we don't have
to worry about them coming after us.
-[man] C'mon, keep walking!
-[Juan] I'm going. Calm down.
[man] Get in there!
Come on! You too. Get in there!
You're stressing me out, man. Get in.
-There.
-[Julieta] Come on. Let's go!
-Grab the backpack.
-[man] Sure, babe.
[Julieta] Grab that.
Grab everything you can.
-[man] What else?
-[Julieta] Some antacids.
Don't forget them, please.
[Juan banging] Open the door,
you son of a bitch! Let us out!
What's the point of locking us up?!
Hey! I know you're listening,
you son of a bitch!
-Open up! Hey!
-[car speeds off]
[Juan sighs]
I guess they're gone.
[sniffles]
[breathing shakily]
Juan.
Flashbacks again, right?
Since when?
Since I went out into the snow.
The… first time.
The boy didn't happen to hear us shouting?
Hey, kid. Are you there?
Hey!
[Pablo] Well, well… It looks
like the tables have turned, right?
[Elena] Pablo, open the door, please.
No way in hell!
Pablo, we're your friends.
Open the door, please.
I'm not your friend, you old junkie.
You're being nice to me now, huh? Sure.
A couple of sips of that,
and you're a teddy bear.
What, you think I didn't see you?
But you know what?
I'm getting the fuck outta here,
and you two can stay locked in there.
-So you know how it feels.
-[Juan] Kid!
Open this door. If you don't,
I'm gonna kick your ass when I get out.
And I will get out, I swear.
I'll knock this door down. You understand?
-Suck my dick.
-[Juan] What?!
[huffs]
[gently] Pablo,
please open the door, okay?

[Elena] Stay here!
[woman] Honey! Honey.
[man] What do you want?
[woman] Let's go. Here, love. Here.
Come here. Go on. Get in.
-[man] Let's go.
-[woman] Here.
[car engine starts]
[eerie string music playing]
[wind howling]
HELP!!!
-[unnerving music ends]
-[fire crackling]
[electricity crackles]
-[Ana] Did they find her?
-[Lucas] Here. Cover her up.
It's not Clara. We didn't find her.
[sighs] Okay.
He's running a high fever.
-He needs help.
-[Juan] Please.
Let's go inside,
We'll get him something to eat.
[Juan] What's all this?
We're going to the island.
He changed his mind. Don't ask me why.
You'll have to take care of the boy
you brought back yourselves.
We haven't been able to find Clara yet.
Thanks for asking.
First thing tomorrow,
we'll be heading to Tigre.
I thought you said you weren't leaving
your house until help arrived, right?
It'll never arrive.
The Earth's magnetic field is off.
That's why the shortwave signal
isn't working.
How do you know it's not this
that's causing the issue?
The compass is fine.
It's the world that is broken.
The world as we know it
is gone for good. Forever.
I think there's more.
There's something
beyond your scientific theories.
Something else is happening here.
-Like what?
-I don't know.
I was just out there,
and I saw some weird things, Alfredo.
-[tense music playing]
-[sighs] Compasses don't lie.
My daughter's out there somewhere,
and I'm not stopping until I find her.
You wouldn't understand that
because you are not a father.
You don't have children.
[Tano] We're all doomed.
The best thing that could've happened
to Clara was dying in the snow.
You need to accept that.
[Juan] What did you say?
How can you say something like that?
How can you say that?
-Are you crazy?
-Get off me!
-How can you say that?!
-Get off me!
-She's your goddaughter, motherfucker!
-Get off me, Juan! Get off me, dammit!
Get off me!
[Juan breathing shakily]
[tense music subsides]
-[man panting]
-[Julieta] Cold?
[man] Oof.
-Check this out.
-What is that?
Ah. Your order, ma'am.
Sorry for the delay.
-Ah. No way, amazing!
-Whoa!
[both laugh]
-I was actually craving these, you know?
-You like it? Anything for my princess.
-I love it.
-Look.
-You know, sometimes you do things right.
-Thanks.
[gas splashes]
[Julieta] Ugh, finally something decent.
