THE ETERNAU
[hurried footsteps]
SAINT GEORGE
[distant gunfire]
[soldiers clamoring]
[shouts]
[silence falls]
[light pattering]
[wind gusting]
[distant whistle]
[ominous music rises]
[somber music playing]
[beckoning whistle]
[heavy, filtered breathing]
[inhales sharply]
[chilling music peaks, fades]
[Juan gasps]
[Tano] The supermarket.
[Tano] Ana!
[Juan] Tano!
What's your plan?
[Pecas] We're gonna make it
to Campo de Mayo.
-[Juan] Good luck! Take care.
-[man] Thanks!
[Juan] Okay, let's go.
[Omar] I'm staying. My gun.
Thanks for everything!
[tense music playing]
[indistinct, distant chatter]
-Juan!
-[Juan] What is it?
You just gotta come here. Come on.
[unsettling music rises]
[intense music peaks, fades]
[weakly] Dad.
[softly] Clara, honey.
-[sighs]
-[Clara chuckles softly]
Where did you find her?
She found us, Juan.
I remembered it was Friday night Truco.
Right. Yeah.
[Clara sighs]
[Tano sighs] Juan. Juan, it's a miracle.
[both chuckle]
We're all together.
She found us, Juan.
Thank you.
Come here. Come here.
Hey.
Tano, what the hell is going on?
-Is it true, what they're saying?
-Who's saying what?
The neighbors came by,
talking about some bugs.
[Lucas] Can you tell us anything?
We need to get the hell outta here,
that's all.
Tano's right.
You have no idea what's coming our way.
Where did he come from?
[Juan sighs]
She was freezing
when she got here, the poor thing.
-Did she mention how she made it here?
-[Elena] She couldn't.
The only thing she could say was,
"Momma! Momma! Momma!"
What's this here? Did you see this?
-[Elena] Yes, I saw it.
-Feel it.
-Don't worry.
-[Juan] Hmm?
The three of us are here.
[gently] Relax.
-[sighs]
-[Elena] Come on.
[quietly] Okay.
C'mon, Pablito.
Put your back into it, will ya?
-All right.
-Come on.
Okay. We're almost there.
-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [sighs]
-[Pablo] Ouch.
Who are those guys?
Where's Alfredo?
[Tano] Saavedra looked
like a damn war zone.
From what we've heard,
downtown is even worse.
But how many bugs are we talking about?
Hundreds of them,
all within just a couple of miles.
[man] Then we gotta get outta here. Now.
-Well…
-And go where?
Maybe it's even more dangerous
just to roam around out there.
I don't know!
All I know is that we need a vehicle.
Anyone have anything
we might be able to use?
[keys jangle]
I've got an RV.
-I'm willing to trade it.
-What do you want for it?
Your house and this garage.
[man] If what they say
about Campo de Mayo is true…
they have all kinds of weapons, Roberto.
Think about it.
[Roberto] Why the hell
did we go to that army base, damn it?
We have weapons!
We can fight!
If you wanna leave, be my guest.
But the houses should be
for those who stay and fight for them.
Take it or leave it, Favalli.
Deal? Or are you just all talk?
[footsteps approach]
[Tano sighs sadly]
[energetic music playing]
[vehicle approaching]
It's nice, huh?
Moby Dick.
[Elena] Careful.
[Ana] These are the keys
to the connecting garage door.
It's a little stiff.
We hadn't used it in a long time.
[Tano] Lucas, go get Juan.
[Ana] The stove in the kitchen
has three burners.
One of them leaks gas.
-[Benito] Good luck. Take care.
-[Tano] Juan. come on.
[Ana] Thanks, Benito.
Are you sure you don't wanna come with us?
[Benito] I would, but I can't. My dad
would never leave the hardware store.
It's his whole life.
Nice ride, right?
It's a shame it's such a short trip.
-Need any help?
-[Ana] No, thanks.
[energetic music ends]
Where did this come from?
Clara was wearing that
when she got here. Why?
This is mine. It was on the sailboat.
Are you sure?
I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence.
[engine turns over]
[Omar] Inga!
How about a little snack for the road?
[Inga] No! You…
[Omar] No! Just a little snack
for the road. It's real cheap.
-It's not much, but it's honest work.
-[Inga] Hey, let's go. Hurry up.
[Omar] For him too? Cool.
[intrepid music continues]
[Lucas, in Spanish]
A round table and a doctor ♪
-[indistinct chatter]
-Who talks to you about love ♪
Step into the sun, explode ♪
Step into the sun ♪
[in English] You okay, Juan?
[Lucas, in Spanish]
Go out into the sun, idiots ♪
[Omar, in English] Want some?
They're still nice and warm.
-[Pablo] What is that?
-[Omar] Tortillita santiagueña.
[Inga] Don't do that. It's not safe.
You care about me, don't ya?
Nah, I'll be fine.
Have some.
-[Pablo] Is it good? I've never tried it.
-Yeah. It's a delicacy for poor people.
But you should eat it now
because it's much better when it's warm.
Here.
[horn blares]
-[brakes screech, hiss]
-[Lucas] Motherfucker!
-What happened?
-[Lucas] What a reckless idiot!
Why are they in such a hurry?
What are they running away from?
[Juan] I bet it's the bugs.
Wouldn't be surprised
to see some around here.
Keep driving.
I can't wait to get to the island.
[haunting music rises]
[Omar] The water is like 300 yards out,
and the river bank is totally muddy.
[Juan] Maybe there's water further north.
We could try sailing from there.
[Omar] We are gonna go to Campo de Mayo.
[Tano] My house on the island
is the best place to hold out.
[Inga] I'm tired of holding out, Fava.
Let's take the Panamericana
to Buen Ayre Highway.
We'll see from there. Okay?
[Tano] You go ahead.
I'll go get something from the boat.
This could be a tsunami.
The water pulls back,
and then a massive wave crashes in
and wipes everything out.
[unsettling string music playing]
[Omar] What's with all the traffic?
[Inga] It was a long weekend.
[Omar] Right, the holidays.
[Inga] What's that?
[unsettling music swells]
That's the crazy guy
who almost crashed into us.
What happened to him?
Was it an accident,
or do you think it was the bugs?
I think it was neither.
[Clara] Mom! Mom!
Baby. Sweetie.
We're going to the island.
To your godfather's house.
-And the girls?
-What girls?
Loli. Loli and Tati, uh…
I promised them I'd be back.
Don't worry, Clara.
The girls will be fine.
You sure they'll be okay?
-[Elena] Yes, sweetheart.
-Okay.
[Ana] Did you get any rest, Clari?
[chuckles] Yeah. Thankfully, yeah.
-[laughs] Tano!
-What's up, little star?
Hi! How are you?
-Good. How are you? How are you doing?
-[Clara] Good, thanks.
-[Ana] You want something to eat?
-[Clara] Yes, please. I'm so thirsty too.
-Is that tasty?
-Mm. Delicious.
Maybe when we get there,
you can cook something more filling.
Me? Are you sure?
I think she likes Tano's cooking better.
Oh, Tano! I would love some
of your tomato pasta. Can you make some?
Yes, ma'am. Sure. Your wish is my command.
[Ana] You have no idea
how much we missed you, Clari. So much.
[Elena] And what your dad
and I went through trying to find you.
We searched everywhere.
-So, you were on the boat all along?
-What boat?
The Nonino. Which else?
No, no. No, I wasn't. I, uh…
I was actually at Mom's.
And at Loli's before that. With the girls.
Weren't you on the boat before that?
No. No, Mama. Not at all.
What about the mask?
The one you were wearing?
-Where'd you get it?
-What mask?
Is it there? Grab it.
Yeah, when you got to the Favalli's,
you were wearing this mask.
-[Juan] There, you see?
-[Tano] This one.
What? I was wearing that? I don't…
Well, never mind. It's okay.
Doesn't matter. It's…
-[Ana] Yeah, it's no big deal.
-[Elena] Eat this.
-You'll remember soon. Don't worry.
-[Juan] Yeah.
[Tano] Seems like a few groups
getting along just fine.
[Juan] I wouldn't risk it, Tano.
Let's approach with caution and see.
[tense music playing]
Juan, look at that truck!
[Juan] Bobby and Micky!
What are they doing here?
[horn honks]
What happened to using caution?
-[Ana] What? Do you know them?
-Yeah! A Jedi friend.
[Tano laughs]
-[indistinct chatter]
-Come on.
[man 1] Hi there.
This way.
[Lucas] Whoa. This place is loaded, man.
[man 2] Yeah.
It's like Disneyland up in here.
There's enough food here to last weeks.
-[man 3] Hey, buddy.
-[Omar] Hey.
And the bugs haven't gotten here yet.
-[Inga] And any word from the Resistance?
-Not much.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
[upbeat carousel music playing on film]
Juanca. Over here. Here.
These are the friends we told you about.
-Hi there.
-[Juanca] Hi. How are you?
Help yourselves, okay?
You can eat all you want.
Find a spot you like.
But… just keep the weapons
away from the kids.
-Got it?
-[Juan] Yes.
-[Tano] All right.
-[Juan] Thanks a lot.
[man 2] Let's get 'em settled in,
all right?
Stay on alert and hold on to your weapons
because whoever did that
back on the highway could be in here too.
[Omar] Okay.
[Omar] Who's that?
[laughing]
-[Omar] He looks excited.
-Look who we found outside.
-[Omar] Jorgito! Awesome, awesome!
-Don't get too excited, man.
[Omar] You can tell he found the wine!
-[laughing]
-Hey!
Yeah.
[Omar] Wine makes you look younger, man!
Hey, Inga. Come here!
[indistinct chatter]
[Lucas] Santa's here!
[can opens]
-[Lucas] Cheers.
-[boy] Come on! Right there.
[Clara] Go, Pecas! Go!
-Whoo!
-[cheers]
-[Pecas] Clara!
-So, where are you at?
What do you mean?
I'm right here.
No, brother.
Something's up. You're not here.
When Clara showed up, you weren't either.
When I saw her, I had a terrible feeling.
I felt like it wasn't real.
It felt like a simulation.
Like you were all conspiring
to make me believe that…
that it was happening
in reality, you know?
[Lucas] No.
No. Doesn't matter. Forget it. Never mind.
Let me tell you something.
I owed Ruso a lot of money, to be honest.
The day it began to snow,
when he died, I felt relieved.
'Cause I didn't see him
as a friend who died.
I saw him as a creditor.
A couple of days later, I felt like shit.
Because he was my friend.
But what the hell does that have to do
with what I'm telling you?
Well, it's the same thing.
Our heads are playing these tricks on all
of us, so we probably shouldn't overthink.
[rhythmic music playing]
[in Spanish] Each time I start singing
A chacarera, which will it be? ♪
"Chacarera del rancho," yes, sir! ♪
Yes, of course! Yes, indeed! ♪
[in English] Did you see
the family that was killed?
What are you talking about?
We saw a shot-up car on the highway.
And it wasn't the bugs, I'm sure of it.
It's not the first time
we hear that kind of stuff.
You know, people are just goin' nuts.
That's why we shouldn't let
our guard down around just anyone.
I didn't let my guard down.
-[woman] I don't mean you guys.
-[Juan] Who do you mean, then?
[Ana] Who are they?
[woman] They're from the all-inclusive
around the corner.
The José León Suárez prison.
[man 2] We don't know
if they're survivors or fugitives.
[woman] I bet one of them was
behind the incident with the family.
[Tano] What's wrong, Juan?
Nothing's wrong.
I just feel like I know that guy.
[woman singing "Paisaje"]
[Micky] A little birdie told me
you like skirt steak. Is that right?
I don't eat meat. I'm a vegetarian.
[tense music playing]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, uh… don't worry.
I can get you something else if you want.
[echoing] Sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you.
-[Clara] No! No!
-Clara!
-Clara!
-What happened? Clara!
What did he say? What happened?
[Juan] Calm down. Calm down.
Let me help her.
-Breathe, breathe, breathe.
-What happened?
Breathe. Breathe.
That's it. Easy. It's okay.
Help me get her over there.
Easy now. Easy now. Okay.
-What happened?
-[Juan] That's it. Easy.
-We're fine, thanks.
-Are you okay?
-What happened, sweetie?
-Slowly, slowly.
-Everything's fine. Come on.
-[Ana] Something happened.
I don't… I don't know what happened.
Like, she was cool, and then…
I came up, and I talked
to her, and she went nuts.
Her eyes rolled back and all.
All that drama for facial paralysis?
What a bitch.
It had nothing to do with you.
She's not well.
Her parents are really worried about her.
Besides, we'd seen each before,
so it's weird.
Listen to me, Micky.
It wasn't your fault, man. That clear?
Now, go find Jorgito.
He wants to play Truco with you.
Get this thing outta your head.
All right. You comin'?
[Pecas] But if she messes
with my brother again, I'll fuck her up.
That bitch.
What?
[chuckles softly]
[Elena sighs] Take your pills.
Something's wrong with her.
She just needs to get some rest
somewhere nice and quiet.
-Where would that be, though?
-On the island.
We don't even know
if we'll be able to get there, Juan.
-[sighs] Stop running away from reality.
-What do you propose?
I heard that Campo de Mayo…
has a functioning hospital.
Elena.
You know I can't set foot in that place.
That'd be the end of me.
I don't wanna meddle.
But maybe going to the island
isn't the best idea for Clara,
given her state.
And what makes you say that?
My sailboat wasn't at the mooring.
And I'm sure Clara took it.
This is the logbook for trips and returns.
See? That's her signature.
[wind howling]
-[acoustic guitar strumming]
-[man singing "Rasguña las piedras"]
Ho ho ho!
You jerk! You scared me.
Oh, come on. Don't get mad at me, okay?
Don't get mad at me.
Just close your eyes. Okay.
-Ready? No peeking, all right?
-Mm-hmm.
Ta-da! There you go.
-No way, where did you get this?
-[chuckles]
Merry Christmas.
[music ends]
[Micky] Come on.
Get it together. They're killin' us here.
-Tell me about it.
-Evening.
-Hey there.
-Can I sit?
-Yeah, please.
-Go ahead.
Yep.
-[sighs]
-Do you maybe want a smoke?
Sure.
Shoot.
[imitates firing]
Oh! God damn it, dude. Get it together,
We'll never beat them at this rate, man.
-No, you gotta stay relaxed!
-Chill. Stay relaxed.
Whoever gets angry gets beaten, right?
The good thing about Truco is that
maybe in the next round,
you'll get your revenge.
Well, I guess you never played
with someone who never gets a good card.
Heh. Wow. Do you know Favalli?
-Yeah, Mario Brothers.
-[Lucas] Mario Brothers.
Yep. Hasn't played
a good hand in 40 years.
But anyway, that's not the point.
Look, what's really important
is knowing how to bluff.
And having a partner who has your back
is essential to keep the lie going.
So show us your bluffing skills,
then, will you?
Why not? It'd be my pleasure.
But before I do, I'm getting myself
some real booze to work with.
Not this stuff.
Because without it, it's not the same.
Wait. I'll come with you. Okay?
-This one's on the house, guys.
-Mm-hmm.
Want anything?
-I'll have some beer.
-Another beer, yeah.
[man] I don't know. I prefer beer.
[Lucas] Well, here's the thing.
Whiskey is like tango.
It's something you grow to like
as you age.
-Mm, how 'bout this one?
-Hmm?
No, no, I'm looking for this one.
See? With the blue label.
[playfully] Blue label!
Here I am.
[ominous music rises]
There we go. Bingo!
Ah.
[clanging in distance]
Tony?
Tony?
[clattering nearby]
[breeze blowing]
[music fades slowly]
[man 1] What? Why's everyone running?
-[woman] Come on!
-[man 2] Let's go!
-[Juanca] Hurry up! Come on!
-[crowd clamoring]
-[rifle cocks]
-[Juanca] This way, come on!
-[man 3] Let's go, come on!
-What's going on?
[man 4] It's happening! Come on!
[man 5] Go, go, go, come on!
Get up, get up! Let's go!
[man 6] Run! Run! Let's go!
[bright music playing]
[indistinct, excited shouting continues]
[uplifting music playing]
[sighs]
[crowd cheering]
Look. The poles ended up inverting.
South is the new north.
Where's Lucas?
Did you see him?
Lucas!
Lucas!
[Juan sighs]
Luqui!
Tano! Tano!
-That's the whiskey he was looking for.
-Huh. I guess he found it.
[whistling]
Luqui!
[whistling]
[foreboding music playing]
[woman] What's wrong with those guys?
Can't they see it stopped snowing?
[Tano] Lucas!
Lucas!
Can't find him anywhere.
Any luck?
No, nothing.
Where on earth did that moron go?
I checked the back, too, but…
-[gunfire]
-What the…?!
[crowd screaming]
[tense music playing]
Elena! Elena!
-Elena!
-[man] Juan!
Juan! We're over here! We're here!
-[Juan] Where's Clara?
-She's in there.
Ana's still outside!
-Ana!
-[Juan] Wait here!
[gunfire continues]
-[Tony] In here, Pecas!
-Wait, Pecas! Pecas!
[Tano] Ana!
[Juan] Move!
Tano, Ana's with Inga
behind the burgundy 504.
They're trying to hide.
-[Juan] Tano! Move!
-Go, go!
[Juan] Omar!
[Juanca groaning]
[Tano] Go!
[crying]
[sounds distort]
Juan, I need you here. They're killing us!
[groans]
[man] Motherfuckers! Cowards!
Cowards!
Come here!
-Come here!
-[shudders]
-[Pecas] Okay. Come on. Help me.
-Wait. Don't! Stop!
-Help me get out!
-Pecas!
-[Tano] Ana! Ana!
-I'm okay.
-Are you okay?
-I'm okay.
[Tano] Are you okay? Really?
[Inga whimpers]
[Juan] Drop your weapon!
[tense music playing]
-Oh, Elena!
-What happened?
Well, I'm okay.
I just… I was hit by shrapnel
above the knee, but I'm okay.
We need to clean the wound.
She is still breathing.
[Tony] Help!
Please!
Help us!
Please help us!
-It's Tony!
-Help!
-You sure you're okay?
-[Ana] Yes, honey, go ahead.
[Tony] Like that. Don't worry.
It's okay.
[Micky breathing shakily]
[Tony] Don't worry.
It's okay. Stay calm.
He'll be okay. It's okay.
He'll be okay.
Don't take it off.
[Elena] I'll give it back.
We're all friends here.
Everything will be okay.
[Micky] Okay.
- What's your name?
-[Micky] Micky.
[Tony] It's okay.
Tano! Juan!
It's them. Look!
-Where were you?
-They brought me back.
-We've been looking for you.
-Are you okay?
They were coming down Buen Ayre Highway
and almost ran me over.
How did you get to Buen Ayre Highway?
I… I don't know. I…
I…
Omar!
Look, we need help here.
There's a lot of people who are injured.
They came from Campo de Mayo.
All these trucks.
They're takin' everyone there.
Bring everyone here.
See ya in two minutes.
[soldier] That's an order! Come on!
[somber music playing]
Those sons of bitches
scared my dog away, dammit.
There. The soldiers picked me up here.
This is pretty far.
How did you make it here?
-I don't know.
-What do you mean, you don't know?
I was with the… with the kids last night,
and I found my favorite whiskey.
I downed it like water,
and then I blacked out.
When I woke up,
I was lying on the highway,
surrounded by soldiers.
That's the Reconquista River.
It has water!
Can we go to the island, then?
[hissing]
[eerie music playing]
[unsettling music fades]
[somber instrumental music playing]
