THE GIRL IN THE STONE

Come on!

Pull!

Come on!

There's a rock in the mud!

The rock was worked. It's big.

Water.

Here it is.

It's upside down. The head is under.

It's heavy.

It's our Lady of Corn.

You know what? We'd better hide her.

No one can know.

Why? It's proof.

Proof of what?!

Proof of what?!

If they find out we have this they'll take our lands!

You want them to take it?! It's all we have!

The authorities can't know!

They'll come and dig and take our land!

We'd better hide her.

No one can know.

It's our ancestor.

We have to take her. Go on.

Blessed Lady of Corn.

All right. Put it there.

Now what?

What if she has a curse?

We should take her to the marsh.

It's really far.

Take my hat. My hat.

We wouldn't have got here with the mules.

An offering so she'll go in peace.

It's late, Dad.

No, no.

Mati? Wake up.

Stop it, kid!

Come on.

I fell asleep last night with Perdida.

You had nightmares.

You were screaming all night.

Did I? I don't remember.

I woke up when the doll fell to the floor.

A little of a good thing.

Mati, look at your poor doll.

She's an orphan so you ignore her.

That's not true. I'm her mother.

You should baptize her so that when she dies

she doesn't go to purgatory.

Why do you think she's going to die?

Dolls don't die.

I don't know, I thought you dreamt it.

I baptize you in the name of God...

...as Perdida.

Hurry up or mom's gonna start yelling.

- Perla, you're late - Hey! My doll!

- Perla! - Coming, Mom!

- Look at her state. - Mati, get in here!

I'm coming!

Not that one!

Coming, Mom!

I have to go to the site or I'll be in trouble.

But you haven't eaten!

I can't! If I stay and eat I'll have to take the bus!

Hurry up, I'm late.

- You're taking the bus! - No, Dad! I'm coming!

Hurry! He gets mad!

Dad, wait for me!

Close the gate!

Mati will do it.

Bye, Dad!

We're going to be late because of you.

That's rich.

Cow!

The sun shines brighter...

...when my colt takes me home.

The sun shines brighter...

...when my colt takes me home.

I wish I was in love.

I wish I had a love to care for me.

To have him to myself if...

...so he can adore me.

I leave my friends for love.

They make me try to forget my heart...

...but I will sow the wheat...

...for my love belongs to it.

But I will sow the wheat...

...for my love belongs to it.

Look at this. Who would've thought?

Why'd you have them here? You came so far.

You didn't want me to find out, huh?

Okay.

Okay, let's see who you resemble.

Not here.

It's not like you. It's like its father.

Gabino! Gabino!

Come here!

- No, you don't. - What is it?

Look where she had them.

She didn't want us to find out, did she?

Want me to throw them out again?

What do you want me to do? Here.

You can't do it anymore. I like doing it.

Let me help you.

All right, take them.

Give me my cane.

Get rid of all of them.

Who knows how many she had.

You're such a whore.

I'll just tell him what I need...

...and I'll take you to your class.

Hurry, Dad, we're running late.

Don't rush me!

What's up? Nearly done?

No, Fidel.

My voice is...

You drank yesterday.

I was ploughing and I found a stone.

You know, a stone of our ancestors.

- It was the Lady of Corn. - Chicomecoati?

What then?

I dug her up, put her on my back...

...and I threw her in the marsh.

You threw her?

- Yeah. - Why did you do that?

I got scared.

Oh, man!

You lost a lot of money.

Yeah, but...

Finding it was scary.

No, what this town needs is a bit of publicity.

It's the only way to attract money.

Yeah, but...

I'll come get the stuff tomorrow.

Quit drinking. Do you hear?

Perla!

- There's Delfino. - Hey!

- Where'd Delfino get the bike? - It's Luciano's.

Since he joined the force he's doing well.

Since their father crossed over they're like lost sheep.

Mati told me the school can't stand Delfino.

How come?

He and his friends took to drinking, supposedly.

They start younger every day.

Mati told me.

That's what they do in this town.

Those who don't cross over stay and get drunk...

...or they join the force.

Nobody works the land, anymore.

Close your eyes.

Hold out your hands.

Open. For your gran, Dona Juana.

Thanks.

Remember I told you I'd let you know something?

Is it time?

They're still here.

They're really cute.

Careful with the mother!

- Is it a male of a female? - It's got a willy.

You hold them like this.

He looks like a Vicky.

It's a he, so he'd be Vicko.

- How do you know? - Look.

It's not in the back.

Vicko.

My gran wants me to kill them.

She used to do it...

...but since her hip hurts I do it.

You're crazy.

I have to go.

Pick one to put it aside for you.

Vicko. I like him.

Maybe your mom will let you keep him.

Mati!

Want to be my girlfriend?

Lola, Lupe, wait up!

Confirmed!

Gabino and Mati sitting in a tree...

...K- I-S-S-I-N-G ! - First comes love!

Then comes marriage!

It's awesome!

Your brother rocks.

Of course, it was very expensive.

Luciano earns a lot of money...

...and he'll earn more since he joined the force.

What? They really earn so much?

No. They stole this from a policeman.

I found the hiding place last night. Look.

A stone.

- What is it? - You don't know?

- Cocaine, dumbass. - Where'd you get it?

Luciano snagged it during a bust.

A bust?

Someone gives you the tip-off...

...you get to the hiding place...

...and you catch the crooks.

That's the best about being a cop.

Now, I'm sure where he gets the dough.

Really?

He's going to burn...

...if he doesn't let me in on the business.

- Why? - I want a cut!

Or I'm telling my mom!

I'm sick of him always lying to her.

And me? I always take the heat.

Stupid. He'll beat you to a pulp...

- He's bigger than you. - I can take him.

If I tell my mom how he gets his money...

...he's going down.

Five, six, seven, eight.

With spirit!

That's it. Show me that flamenco.

Come on, girl.

That's it. Great!

Wider, wider.

You're still head over heals, huh?

Honestly? Yeah.

Who is taking her to the dance?

I am. Who else?

If you convince her.

Great, great!

Get a move on or she'll be taken.

- He's stealing her. - What?

- He just is. - How?

Watch the way she looks at him.

Professor Joaquin! Professor Joaquin!

- Yes, Alicia? - An observation.

The dance is lovely but... Girls, girls!

...they look a little tense.

Go on! It's your chance to tell her!

All right, I'm going.

- Come on! - Go!

Okay! I'll be right back.

Here comes the suitor.

Mati, can we talk?

What do you want?

I want to tell you something.

One thing I want to tell you.

What do you want to tell me?

I want to know if you'd go to the dance with me.

- No. - Why?

- I just don't. - Just because?

Are you mad at me, Mati?

Okay...

All right.

Idiot, how can you beg to that damn prude?

Pretty and flirty.

Gorgeous! Smile!

Great! Feel the music!

That's it!

Hey!

You distract Lola and Lupe.

You stand guard.

I'll convince Mati.

Be cool.

Your mom makes the best sandwiches.

I'm sick of them. Want a bite?

- Yeah! - It's egg.

- It's so good! - You ate it yesterday.

- You don't even like eggs! - I do!

Think fast!

- I got it! I got it! - Pig!

Haven't you ever seen a pad before?

You want to try it on, don't you?

- You got your period! - Big baby!

- I got my period! - Get one from your sister!

My sister is too young! I got my period!

It's mine! It's mine! You can't catch me!

Fulgencio, give it to me!

Let's see if that makes you modest.

Pick it up.

What for? It's squashed.

Pick it up.

Keep it up and I'll tell on you.

Don't even think it. It'll be worse for you.

Let her go, idiot!

Let's see your legs and titties.

- Let go of me! - Stop it!

They're coming! They're coming!

They're coming!

- What happened? - Let's go, idiot!

Don't worry, we'll tell the teacher.

Why are you crying?

Delfino and Fulgencio attacked her.

That's what you get for being a slut.

Shut up!

- Good morning. - Morning!

- How are you? - Okay.

Today, we'll study symbols and rhythms.

Let's pick up with our meters.

We'll work with this.

So, everyone in chorus formation.

You know your position.

Hands out of pockets.

Hands out.

What's going on there?

Mati?

Why is she crying?

Delfino and Fulgencio tried to abuse her.

Where is Delfino? Gabino and Fulgencio?

They're in the yard, Ma'am.

Call them! Aren't they coming to class?

Hey! Guys!

The teacher wants to see you!

Come on!

Calm down.

Hey, to the front!

Okay, Mati, point out the abusers.

He was the main one...

...and so was he.

What about Gabino?

Gabino was on watch.

So it was a strategy.

Ma'am, I didn't do anything.

You're still paying for it.

If you can't pay the time, don't do the crime.

You'll get an exemplary punishment.

Drop your pants in front of everyone.

They didn't even bathe!

I'm sick of this situation!

You can't be so abusive with girls!

What are you waiting for? Move it!

Facing the blackboard!

Face the blackboard! At once!

Unbutton your pants.

Delfino, if you don't want to be expelled...

...do as I say.

I don't care.

If you don't obey, I'll expel you!

Do what you want, damn bitch.

Bye-bye, Mati!

That's enough.

I'm reporting this to the principal.

We found him drunk really early, right, Dad?

We're falling behind again because of Amadeo.

He's such a drunk. That's why he can't deliver.

He gets drunk since he got that thing in his throat.

He's nothing but trouble. It's the last time I work with him.

Besides, he's crazy.

He says he found a stone of Chicomecoati.

- I don't want to go tomorrow. - Mati, don't be sour.

I feel really bad after what they did.

I'm telling my dad.

Mati, you're crazy. Why get in trouble?

Just let it go.

Besides, I don't think they'll do it again.

Get ready to dance with Professor Joaquin.

Mati, get in here.

Wash your hands and come eat!

What? What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm going to my room.

Won't you eat?

Did the rehearsal go bad?

No, I'm just tired. I'll eat later.

What's wrong with her?

She must be worried about the dance.

- Does she practice a lot? - All morning.

Even at night. I can't sleep.

Caught in the act! I knew I was being robbed.

I was just trying it, jerk!

Don't do this or I'll burn you.

I'll beat you to a pulp!

- What? What? - Go to hell, asshole!

I heard you were expelled from junior high.

How do you know?

Horny bastard.

No squealing or I'll tell mom where you get the money.

Shut the fuck up, kid.

Fucking drug dealer.

Reverse dunk.

You're meaner than you are pretty.

How'd you know I was here?

I saw your gran picking wood and I just assumed.

Not that one! It's for Mati.

She squealed to the teacher...

...and you're still giving her a gift?

I promised.

Boy, you are dumb.

It must miss its brothers.

Hello? Hi, Perla.

Yes, it's Gabino.

Can I talk to Mati?

Mati!

Mati, phone!

It's Gabino.

I don't want to talk to him.

- What do I tell him? - Whatever you like.

She's asleep and can't come to the phone.

Come on, please?

I have to tell her something important.

Really, she can't.

Okay, tell her I'll see her tomorrow.

Bye.

He was mad.

Apparently he had something to tell you.

- Idiot. - What's wrong, Mati?

Today... I was abused.

What?

I was groped.

Professor Alicia told them off...

...and now they'll get back at me.

Oh, Mati. First Gabino and now his friends.

- No, not Gabino. - Don't lie.

You said you didn't want to be his friend

because he was handsy.

He just kissed me.

But against your will.

Gabino!

They say they've found in these lands...

...many of our ancestor's treasures.

So what? We know it's true.

I think we made a mistake with the stone.

You made a mistake, Dad.

I didn't want to get rid of it.

I think I want to get it back.

Maybe someone wants to buy it.

- We can't. - Sure we can!

It sank.

The hole is deep.

We'd have to bring the excavator to get it...

...and we don't have money.

Gabino.

Gabino, come.

Gabino.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TELPOCHCALLI

- What happened? - Everything is in order.

Behave yourself!

Delfino and Fulgencio are with Gabino.

Come on!

Don't look at them, Mati.

- Morning, Dona Juana. - Good morning.

- How is your mother? - Fine, thank you.

- I'm glad. - Excuse us.

- Have a good day. - Bye.

- Mother-in-law. - Funny.

IDs. Go in.

Perla! It's a miracle!

I'm walking Mati after yesterday.

Don't worry, Mati.

Delfino and Fulgencio can't come in...

...until their parents meet with the principal.

- Morning. - Good morning, Joaquin.

This is Perla, Mati's sister.

She used to go here. She got straight A's.

I did not.

- It's a pleasure. - Likewise.

- What's with the head? - It's for my beauty class.

- Will you come to the dance? - I told her it'll be great.

I hope you can make it.

Well, excuse me.

Professor!

He's so cute. You're welcome, Mati!

Ready? And...

Pretty wallflower bud...

...if you knew my pain...

...if you responded to my love...

...and eased my suffering.

You know that without you...

...life is nothing to me...

...pretty wallflower bud.

Pretty wallflower bud.

Pretty wallflower bud...

...I gave you my passion...

...along with my heart.

Now you.

You are the woman...

...I've given my love...

Hey!

Why so sad, Gabino?

Gabino!

Boys!

It needs more fertilizer.

Here he comes for his bricks.

Help me, boys. Come on.

Take it all to his truck.

Amadeo! Nearly done? Are those a thousand?

Sure. Count them. There are a few more.

Are you paying me?

The owner comes on the weekends...

...and hands me the money.

But I have to buy fertilizer.

Do it on Monday, the weekend is almost here.

I need the money, Fidel.

I told you. On Monday.

I have needs, Fidel.

I need to rent the excavator.

How come? Are you building?

I'm going to get the stone.

Amadeo, you had it in your hands...

...and you threw it away. Just leave it there!

It was written that way!

Come on, nicely stocked.

All done.

Let's see how it fits.

They'll be so jealous.

Are you almost done?

Yeah, just the skirt and it'll be ready.

Make it short.

Short? Yeah, right. Your dad won't agree.

- Hi! - Hey.

I'm rehearsing, I can't get it right.

We have a surprise...

...to see if you stop being so down.

We stole Professor Joaquin's file!

For what?

Didn't you want to know his age?

- He's 23 and a Virgo. - How'd you do it?

We snuck into the office...

...and we jumped the wall!

You're crazy.

Look.

- He's so cute. - Yeah. Dibs!

Fate wanted only one of your children to live.

Didn't you kill it?

I killed the others.

This one is for Mati.

Just because your crush is so amusing...

...but no one likes cats. They're prejudice...

...and they're always hunting people's hens.

Lend me 1 0 pesos.

Everyone is needy. Why?

To buy stuff at the stationary.

It's for a school project.

My only ten coin.

Cheeky boy.

Which is prettier?

This one!

- How much is it? - Nine.

- Do you have envelops? - Yes.

Thank you.

Kick it!

Come on! Attack!

Come on! Learn how to play!

Goal!

Great!

It's Luciano! You haven't seen me.

What's up?

Seen my brother?

Nah, he's drinking on the hill.

Why not here with you?

He likes to take girls there. Didn't you know?

He left after the game.

If you see him, tell him I'm looking for him.

Fucking asshole. You think I can't take him?

Perla? Perla!

- Perla! - What?

Are you coming with me to the dance?

I told you I would.

Perla!

I don't want to go alone.

Don't fall asleep. I'm scared.

Have you seen the time, Mati?

Go to sleep and dream with angels.

How can I sleep with all this in my hair?

You want to look pretty tomorrow, don't you?

Suck it up.

That pretty girl...

...who was born at night...

...wants to take a ride...

...in a car.

This pretty girl...

...who was born at day...

...wants to go...

...to the ice-cream parlour.

- You can't come in! - Fuck off!

I have orders!

Let us in, the dance is today.

No! Go the hell away! Stop blocking the entrance!

IDs.

ID.

FOR MATI WITH LOVE FROM GABINO

She won't look at you even with the damn card.

- Idiot. - Come in.

Excuse me.

Have fun!

Hey, get down! Gorillas!

- Gabino! - Someone, help!

I'll kill you, asshole!

Get down right now! You're like delinquents!

She won't let us in!

You can't come in, don't you understand?

It's your fault we're here.

I'll speak with the principal to expel you permanently.

I just came to dance with you, Ma'am.

Hey! Dance with your bud Fulgencio.

- We want to party. - That's enough!

First, you're suspended.

- Second, what party? - The school's Valentine party.

You see? Three, go the hell away.

What do you think of your sister's dance?

She looks really happy.

I'm glad you came.

Well done, girls! Very well done!

A big applause for our students...

...Lupe, Lola, Mati and Beatriz...

...because they were great.

We'll continue our celebration...

...with the musical number:

Wallflower Bud.

You made me look good for the teacher.

- You know how she gets. - Lf not for your classes...

...who knows how it would've gone.

You dance so pretty, you inspired everyone.

Mati? Mati!

I want to tell you something.

We're talking, can't you see?

Yeah but I brought you this.

I'm not taking anything from you.

Will you dance with me?

Mati, I got it for you.

Mati.

Mati, why did you do that?

I told you to leave me alone.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

Thank you so much.

Let me know if someone comes.

Gabino.

- Hey, faggot! - Fag!

What do you want?

She didn't accept it?

"Mati, I'm sorry."

Stop it, jerk.

Leave him alone! Leave him, man!

Dammit.

Fucking traitor.

Sit down.

Gabino! Sit down.

Take a hit.

Come on, Fulgencio will do it, too.

Hit it!

Cut the bullshit, man.

This chick needs a taste of her own medicine.

Enough corny shit to see if she'll bang you.

Because of her, we're not at the dance.

This time she really humiliated me, man.

She broke it in front of everyone.

Fucking bitch.

If you're soft, bitches take advantage!

You have to corner her like an animal!

Like your cats, man.

- Mati, which one is yours? - The red one.

- This one? - No, this one.

See you tomorrow, Mati.

See you tomorrow.

Mati!

What are you going to do to me now?

Nothing.

I'm sorry, okay?

Wait.

- I have your kitten. - I don't want it.

I don't want anything from you.

Excuse me.

I'll have to throw it in the swamp.

You'd really do that?

Be kind. Don't kill it.

My gran says no one loves their animals.

Okay, give it to me.

You have to come with me to the swamp.

Why the swamp?

What do you mean? To get the cat!

Gran said she didn't want to see it in the house.

You left Vicko alone?

He'll starve.

Of course not.

Besides, I got food for him with me.

Come on. Let's go.

Quickly, okay?

Don't worry, everyone thinks we're at the party.

Don't touch me.

Fucking meowing.

If Gabino doesn't come, I'll kick his ass...

...for being an asshole. - I don't think so.

The guy is strong. He works the field.

What are you doing?

- My shoe. - Hurry up.

It has a pebble.

Gabino, wait up!

Gabino!

- How much farther? - We're almost there.

Let's go.

No, Gabino, we're very far from town.

It's getting late.

Go back if you want.

I didn't pay attention. I'm lost.

- You have to take me. - What's the rush?

Besides, if you don't come I'll kill the cat.

- So you say. - Walk and cut the crap.

You won't hurt my Vicko.

He escaped.

Where could he go?

He's so small. He'll starve.

Don't worry, we'll find him.

There he is! There he is!

He's over here.

Vicko, come here. I'm here, Vicko.

Vicko! This is all your fault, Gabino.

- Cat! - Vicko, I'm here.

- Vicko. - Can you hear him?

Gabino, let's go.

Wait, he's not far.

Vicko, come here.

- Cat. - Something is wrong.

Vicko!

- Gabino, I'm leaving. - Where?

Come on!

Let's go. Let's see how she gets back alone.

- Where are you going? - Let me go!

- Don't go yet. - You're mean!

You'll learn your lesson for squealing!

Let's show her.

Don't make a fuss...

...no one can see you.

No one sees you here.

Is she dead?

Gabino killed her.

Mati? Mati?

Wake up, Mati!

She's dead! You killed her!

It's your fault, asshole.

You're going to rot in jail for this!

Don't you dare let me take all the heat.

- What did you do, idiot? - Stay out of it!

Fuck you!

Don't ever threaten me! Ever, asshole!

You won't live to tell it! You won't!

Here, man! It's where you drown cats!

No squealing, assholes.

Death to the squealer.

Gabino!

Where are you?!

The party ended hours ago!

So? Who fucked you up?

No one, Dad.

Gabino, you didn't even use your hands.

I tripped. I landed right on the curb.

You're not getting into trouble, are you?

Did you hack someone?

An opossum...

...but it's all right.

Why'd you do it?

It got into the hole.

The hole is blocked! It's blocked!

That's where it went!

I waited for it until it came out.

You didn't hurt someone, did you, Gabino?!

The hole is blocked!

Wash yourself here, you're all stained.

Where are you running to?! Dad!

Delfino, what are you doing here at this hour?

Nothing, Ma'am.

What happened to you?

- I fell. - Let me see.

You're bleeding!

I cut myself with glass.

Look at you. All covered in dirt.

This could get infected.

I'll take you to my place to clean you up.

- Come on, get in. - As you say, Ma'am.

Fidel. The girls aren't here yet.

It's late. Look at the time.

You know how they are.

Why are you so late?

Where's your sister? Where'd you leave her?

I don't know, she was at the dance.

Where were you if you're not together?

When we turned around, she was gone.

We? Who is we?

It's really late. Where could she be?

With her friends.

I was dancing and I got distracted, Mom.

Who distracted you so much?

Dear God, Perla.

Let's go look for her.

I'll wait here.

Perla, if you go together, you come back together!

We're always telling you!

Hurry up.

Ring harder!

Good evening, is Gabino home?

For what reason?

I wanted to ask if he'd seen Mati.

She hasn't come home.

No, Gabino isn't here. He should be.

He has to get up early for work tomorrow.

Okay, thank you.

- What do we do? - Let's go.

Good evening, Don Hilario!

Miss Perla, what are you doing here at this hour?

I'm looking for Mati, she hasn't gotten home.

Did you see who she left with?

No, we closed at 6:30. There's no one here.

If you see her, tell her we're looking for her.

Sure, Miss, I will.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

She's not here? We've seen all her friends!

The road home, her school! There's nowhere else!

I can't think of any other place.

Think, Perla!

It's not my fault she left.

Yes it is because you didn't see her!

I'm not her watchdog.

Think, Perla! Think!

Where else could she have gone?!

I don't know!

I thought Lola and Lupe would know!

What other friends does she have? Think!

Please, think!

Don't yell, Dad! You make me nervous!

Look at the state of me! I can't think!

Amadeo?!

Amadeo!

Your daughter...!

Your daughter!

What is he saying?

Your daughter, Fidel! It's a disgrace!

The marshes, Fidel!

The marshes. In the marshes.

The marshes!

The marshes!

This pretty girl...

...who was born at day...

...wants to go...

...to the ice-cream parlour.

That pretty girl...

...who was born at night...

...wants to take a ride...

...in a car.

This pretty girl...

...who was born at day...

...wants to go...

...to the ice-cream parlour.
