Mama usually always advises me, that someday I will be a great person.
"Don't worry. They will see," he said.
It feels funny because I am thinking about it now.
Call my name, Mama.
The tidal wave appears to be lower than usual.
Mothers in the village told me that my mother was a little crazy.
Even before all of his children die.
Which one is a lie.
The truth is that all women secretly hate my mother.
And why aren't they?
They all dress in black.
Refusing to have more children.
It seems they all agree the first woman who is dressed in color again, is the worst mother in the village.
Well...
My mother is wearing pink clothes.
I was only 11 years old when I decided to marry Soraya.
And every day for a week in a year, I pray that I dare speak to him.
But I never can.
So he married someone else.
Soraya's husband is a teacher. And the man died swallowed by the waves...
... with my brother Tigo and all the class.
My brother's penchant is to use a pencil sharpener.
So if he behaves well for a week, Mr. Diaz gives him a new pencil for diraut.
Sometimes I remember when the waves hit.
I hope it passes quickly.
That they all don't see the waves coming.
I hope Tigo is moving his new pensi.
And the fish in the river will die.
And the river smells.
Father Douglas moved here a few years before the waves...
And everyone likes it.
When he finally realized the reason people stopped having children...
He made it a mission to help them rise.
Not today, Father.
That doesn't work.
Maybe if you give it communion bread.
Oh no, Bigo. It is impossible.
Hold for a while.
For the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Thank you. Thank you, Father.
Can I get something, Father?
Water, please.
Rosita.
Good morning.
Father Douglas.
Yes. How are you today?
Better.
You look healthy.
I bring something.
You remember.
Yes.
Oh my God, I don't deserve You came to me...
... but just pray, then I will recover.
Rosita.
The body of Christ.
Amen.
Father.
What?
Do you think I will meet my children?
Yes, I know you will meet them.
But not yet.
You have to rest now.
When my friends start move to town...
... I know it's only a matter of time until my best friend Gabriel also moved.
We don't discuss it for months. Until one day, I finally advised him to go.
That was the first time I saw her crying.
What is that?
This is my survival package.
Everything I need is here. Please help me.
So you will walk with bring it to town?
Let me show you something.
You push the object all the way here?
No.
You fix it?
You fix it? Not that you said this thing was broken.
I've done it for several weeks.
This is great, man. Congratulations.
I think you will need it.
What?
I give it to you. For your trip.
Come on. This is your father's motorbike.
Now it's yours.
No people use it here. I want you to have it.
Hi, Gabriel.
- Hey, Father. - What time do you leave tomorrow?
I don't know. When I wake up.
Just make sure you won't go before saying goodbye.
- Yes, Father. - Agree.
Fidelia?
How are you this afternoon?
Don't take too long to leave your eyes open or be sore.
Can I?
The body of Christ.
Hey, Father.
Hey.
It seems he is better today.
Really?
I think so.
That's good.
Do you want to drink coffee?
No thanks.
Tomorrow is a big day for Gabriel.
Yes.
What about you, Leo?
me?
What are your plans?
What is the plan for?
Life. Your future.
All people of your age have left this village.
I don't know. I'm not so sure.
I think you should go with Gabriel tomorrow.
I can talk to Soraya about your mother.
He has an empty room available...
... and I'm willing to let your mother live there.
Why don't you stop there tomorrow morning and check it out?
I think your mother would like to live there.
Then, maybe you can ask.
Well...
I just thought of you.
Good night, Father.
That's because, while you listen Father Douglas...
... raving about Saint Francis or whatever it is...
... I'm under the bench looking for girls' skirts.
I miss women.
They smell good.
And ice cream.
When was the last time did you eat ice cream?
- It's been a long time. - It's been a long time, right?
The first thing I will do once I reach the city...
... is eating ice cream together a scented girl.
I hate this place, man.
You urinate toward me.
Basic...
Leo, look at this.
Look at this.
- Water. - Please get water!
Let me help you.
I've never told a story, but sometimes I go to the beach and visit your mother.
Sometimes I spend all day to listen to people's problems...
... but I also need someone to listen to me.
Leo, you can tell me if you want.
About what?
You and your best friend who died for three hours...
... then you come back to life.
Do you think it's not feasible to talk about?
What do you remember from the incident yesterday night?
What happened during those three hours?
All children disappear into the ocean...
So there was never really a funeral after the waves.
Father Douglas told me that it was not my fault.
That I shouldn't feel guilty of being safe.
That God has special plans for me.
I'm not really sure.
Dona Soraya.
What are you doing?
The water has run out at home.
Thank you.
Leo.
I'm glad you're fine.
What objects on the page, Leo?
I don't know.
You don't know?
What do you mean not you who made it?
I know you are going through hard times lately.
Everyone knows that.
But I can't help you if I don't know what happened.
Never again! It is enough!
One year after the children died...
... Father Douglas suggested school rebuilding.
That night, someone throws a stone at the window of his house.
And the church is empty for a month.
He never again suggested school construction.
Hey.
Does the water still run out in your house?
Hey, Bigo.
Is that your mother's lamp?
Okay, Lela.
Will you be okay?
You will see, Lela.
Father?
Yes?
What is that?
When we leave Leo's house...
... some of us started talking.
About what?
Someone said that...
... that is a sign of God.
That Leo is the messenger.
Who said that?
Everyone.
Now hear...
It can be dangerous to conclude it.
You know, right now we have to stay focused on God's way...
Or if not, we will get lost.
Yes, Father. I'm sure you're right.
The real message we are looking for...
... in the church and waiting for us every day.
Father, you know that Oscar will never set foot...
... into the church again.
He always says...
... if a man kills a child, we sentence him to death.
But when God killed 46 children...
... are we encouraged to pray to Him?
How do you feel about that?
I don't know.
Sometimes, it feels like God has left this place.
Suppose we have a sign.
Only a small sign that is at a glance that He still cares.
And what do you think...
... that Leo is a sign of that?
I don't know.
You talk to Leo.
Can this be a sign from God?
Maybe. Yes.
Soraya?
Do you come here often?
Occasionally.
My mother usually invites us when we were children.
And by the way, thank you for the book.
Oh yeah.
I actually read some of the books, but...
... I don't understand enough.
Those books belong to my husband.
Usually he learns in bed...
... with a stack of books is between us.
It used to drive me crazy.
Do you know?
The smell of old paper.
And now I can't even sleep without it.
Can I tell you something?
I often come to your house and observe you.
I mean...
Not in an impolite way.
I just want to see you.
I know.
I always know.
Mama, stop it.
Mama.
Fidelia, do you want to add rice?
- Fidelia. - He can't hear you.
Just place it outside the fence.
You're right.
I cook it too soft.
Yucca is better.
- She's beautiful. - Who?
Your mother.
There is something very romantic about him.
OK.
I think men don't have to see her mother like that.
He is not my mother.
I don't mean that.
I understand. It must be hard to feel see it like this.
I just don't know whether or not he would like this...
... if I am killed, and not Tigo.
I don't think that will make any difference.
One time...
... I swim with my brother...
... and we saw a float away from the beach.
There is a bell in the buoy.
And we don't realize how is that possible...
We decided to swim there.
We are too far from the beach...
We both started panicking and shouted for our mother.
And finally he saw us and jumped into the sea...
... and swim towards us.
I remember trying to reach it...
But when he arrived at my position...
... he just passed me and saved Tigo.
He might know that you can swim better than Tigo.
Yes.
I know.
But he still has a choice.
And he chose Tigo.
"And now with his eyes, he will look full of his face.
And now, he will fail recognize the man. Why do you keep distancing yourself from my father?
Why don't you sit beside him and ask questions? from her husband ".
I know that sounds crazy, but...
... that's the truth.
Bigo!
What happened?
Father, this is a miracle.
What miracle? What are you talking about?
Leo!
Come and see!
You have to trust me.
Do you see?
Do you see? You see, Father?
Remember how he used to be?
See? He is happy now.
Huh, Lela?
Se ora Guzman.
Someone must forget first.
Does Soraya sleep here?
Who said that?
Chat people.
I don't care what they think.
Are you hungry?
Concha!
Yes?
Father Douglas and Leo here for lunch.
Hello, Concha.
Excuse me.
Oh no. Please, Father. Don't.
I apologize for being late.
Something is happening here.
People act differently...
... and Father Douglas said because of me.
Because people think I am special.
But you know that it's not true, right, Mama?
I want you to know that I forgive you.
Because it forces the father to leave.
Because I tucked my ears when the cat broke your vase.
Because I love Tigo more than me.
Mama, stop it.
You're right.
I don't give you enough corn.
Please, Mama.
I know you can hear me!
Where is Leo?
Is this some kind of game?
You play to prove how smart are you, Leo?
Alright, so now it's a boat.
Congratulations, it's very beautiful.
Do you want the boat?
And please don't say you don't know.
Will you say something, for God's sake?
I want to sail with that boat.
You are not serious.
- Why not? - Why not?
What do you think will happen if you bring the object to water?
- I don't know. - I know.
It will sink, Leo. Quickly.
Maybe not.
Oh, that will happen, I make sure that. And are you thinking...
... on the impact that will occur on people?
Have you ever thought about it, Leo?
That will be a disaster.
And even if with some miracles it doesn't sink,
... what will it prove?
What will it prove, Leo?
None. We will dismantle it...
... and we will put everything back to where you found it.
And maybe everything can come back as usual.
Whatever it is.
After Tigo died...
... my father started sleeping on the sofa.
When he finally leaves,
... he gave me his lucky pocket knife.
"He pretends," he said.
I threw the knife into the sea.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
Alright...
So, what can I do for you?
I dreamed last night, Father.
It's okay.
Tell him.
I contain...
... but does not contain a child...
A river poured at me.
That's very much water...
... shower the streets and flood the village.
So, everyone goes into a boat made by Leo.
That's bigger in my dream.
And then we sailed to an island...
... Where children laugh and play.
Then...
Primo wakes me up.
He laughs in his sleep.
So what do you think it means, Father?
I don't really know.
I think that is what you decide.
What is that?
Yes...
We have decided, actually.
Decide what?
We don't really believe this is the right time...
But we want to try have another baby.
Good for you. Congratulations.
Congratulations. That's good for you.
Good for you.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Awesome.
This, Carmen. This color is suitable for that.
Yes, that's good.
Put the green edge with the white one
Yes, pull it together.
That must be doubled.
No, wait, I think you should use this.
Remember, this must be doubled.
Hi.
Hi, Leo.
Bigo.
I'm thinking...
Maybe I should leave Lela here with her basket.
If you have something else to move.
OK.
Thank you.
Remember me...
... when the time comes.
Hey, Leo.
Looks good.
Pretty solid.
What is that?
This is a screen. For you.
- A screen? - Yes.
Mothers' groups come and make it for you.
Can I sit for a while?
Look, I'm, uh...
I feel bad because I talk to you like that the other day.
I hope there is no revenge.
OK.
And you know...
... I often think about about this boat lately...
Thinking...
What this means...
How do these things help people...
And that happened to me...
That this boat might be not open at all.
That maybe this is meant as a symbol...
... of something.
A symbol?
Yes. Will that be something bad?
And what do you know?
We can move it closer to the church...
... so that the boat is closer to the center.
Everyone can see it all the time, day and night.
And that could be a great source of inspiration.
Leo, give your opinion.
Because I think God has given you...
... a great opportunity here.
And we don't want to waste it.
I want to offer you coffee, but the water has run out.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
How do people react when I die later?
- Why do you ask? - I do not know.
I'm just curious.
Does anyone care?
I think it happened so fast.
Then, I have to go home soon.
Will we meet tomorrow?
No.
I can finish it myself.
Leo!
You have to help me.
Leo is here.
It's okay now.
It's OK, Rosita.
Come on!
Do something!
Help him!
Rosita.
Rosita, stay with me.
Stay with me, Rosita.
Rosita, Rosita.
Don't go, Rosita.
No, no, Rosita. No.
Breathe. Breathe, Rosita.
No, no.
Exit.
Get out of here!
Rosita!
But I don't understand.
You are both very excited about that.
But I don't see the benefits of by bringing a child...
... into sorrow.
It is fairness to lament death.
Does Jesus also lament the of poor Lazarus' death?
We don't have to stop hoping.
- How is he? - Not good.
He has been sitting there all night.
Pedro.
Why are you carrying the machete?
I thought of killing his mother.
Makes it feel what I feel.
He is only a child, Pedro.
And when did you decide that?
What did you do?
Soraya and I will leave the village.
- When? - Today.
- Now. - No, kid. You can't do it.
Not now. People still need you.
I can't do anything for them.
Now you listen to me, son.
People are confused.
They need something to believe now.
Yes, well...
That is your job.
You listen to me!
I can't do it alone.
Now, you help me move the near the church.
And show them that you have not given up.
I will do the rest.
You owe that much to me.
Father Douglas?
Be careful!
Enforce it!
Be careful!
Carefully!
Be careful! So. Yes, that is. A little bit more!
A little more we succeed!
I see!
Be careful!
Woah! That will work!
He is there with Leo.
I told you!
Leo.
We do the right thing.
He is there!
He helps them!
Get away from me!
Stop it!
What did you do?
Get out of there!
Help me!
Help me, please!
Don't let it burn!
Please!
What's wrong with you?
Please! Please!
We can't let it burn!
Help me!
Help me, please!
Please, for God's sake!
What did you do?
Come on, help us!
Sometimes I think about how things will be different...
... if the wave hits in the middle of the night.
All children sleep safely in bed.
The next day, everyone is very grateful...
... because they realize they have been spared from tragedy.
Can you imagine that?
People will talk about it for years.
"What a miracle," they said.
A miracle.
The same waves crash the same building...
... only a different time.
All my life I believe in miracles.
Now, I think that miracle is...
... a tragedy...
... which can almost be avoided by chance.
I'm sorry.
Tigo.
Leo.
Leo!
Mama.
Leo!
No!
One time Father Douglas said that we all like drops of rain falling from the sky.
"You feel alone at this time," he explained.
But someday you will unite with the water in the ocean and realize it...
... that you are connected with every drop of water in the world.
Maybe he is right.
Maybe we all just try reuniting with the others.
I don't really know.
But if I can reach the ocean...
... I don't think I'll be afraid anymore.
And I won't feel alone anymore.
