Leni Riefenstahl Tiefland

What do you want?

Mr. Mayoral, the stream has been diverted

So what?

It has been dry for one year now. We need water for our fields.

Is that water yours?

It belongs to us all, Sir. It comes from above

So

Mr. Mayoral, we beg you, let the stream flow freely again

No, the Marquis needs that water for his bulls

Be careful. Don't be so nervous

I hope he'll come today

Should I send someone at the castle to ask?

He'll come today Try to look a bit more joyful, Amelia

He can get my money also with the way I look now

But he is the Marquis of Roccabruna, don't forget that

The Marquis is a beggar.

Someone should finally tell him.

Be careful! If not everything will be over.

When I'll be there, the first one I'll throw out is Don Camillo

Today he asked for his commission again

After the wedding! Give him half of his commission now.

It will be a great honor for the family

when you will be the marchioness

In fact it's too much money for this honor

Mr. Marquis, it's time.

The mayor has been waiting in vain three times already.

Is there no other solution?

The Mayor of Huesca is a rich man

I don't like that woman

But the Mayor is very rich and Donna Amelia is his only daughter. 38 00:14:11,756 -- 00:14:15,322 Next week, parts of your debts have to be paid. And there is no money left.

What about moneylenders?

Impossible not the ones in Barcelona nor those in Madrid. And besides, everything here is in pawn.

But why do I have so many debts?

How is that possible?

If you don't trust my words,

I can also leave.

Nonsense, Camillo

But tell me: what about the rent the peasants pay?

Since you had this weir built, the peasants have

no more water. So their harvests are really bad.

I can't let my bulls die.

The best bulls of the province.

The province? The whole kingdom you mean.

Well then let's go!

Do you like the food Pedro?

Why don't you come more often?

I like to be alone in the mountains

You cannot remain alone all your life.

I really love to be alone

Did you find that pelt?

Or did your sheep kill the wolf?

Found?

Don't laugh like that, stupid girls.

Pedro, here's some flour. Do you still have salt?

Then I'll give you some to take with you

Pedro, which one of us all do you like?

None!

Do you already have a girl?

And how does she look like?

Is she prettier than I?

Yes

Don't leave so quickly Pedro!

Here is the salt Thanks Josefa

Don't you want to leave that pelt here?

No, I'll come back when Don Sebastian is at home

Bye bye

Bye bye. Come back soon!

Please, the sixty-year-old Malaga wine!

Immediately Sir!

Very old.

Can I ask you for a glass of water?

Water for the Marquis!!!

May I ask you for your arm?

With pleasure

The Marquis is in a good mood I hope?

Of course everything will work out well

It would be a happy marriage

What a lovely night

But the Marquis seems thinking

Would you share your thoughts with me?

I was just wondering how I could express myself

Oh something special?

Very

I have been thinking about it for days.

I beg you, express yourself.

I am wondering

how I could enlarge my bull breeding

The bulls your real passion.

Is it profitable?

I don't keep bulls to earn money.

But I wanted to ask something else, Donna Amelia:

would you want to become my wife?

Your wife?

Ah I understand You need money.

Well, I'll think about it.

My child, what happened?

Leave me alone

Sir My best regards to Donna Amelia

Are you leaving already?

Bonsoir

Music please!

The Marquis will pay for this!!!

He'll pay for this But my child calm down.

I'll have him on his knees.

It will be finished with his arrogance when he knows who has his promissory notes

the beggar of Roccabrona

You are laughing, but I'll have to fix it!

Let's go

Wait for me

Don Sebastian! What do you want?

I'm bringing you a wolf's pelt.

Did you kill the wolf? yes Sir, I killed it.

I'll give you one Deuro for every wolf you kill

Go back to your sheep.

Come to the castle tonight. She should dance for me.

Wait here!

Welcome in my house

At your service, Sir

Go to the kitchen, there you can eat

And you come with me.

He little friend, come!

You cannot expect that you will sit at the same table as them.

Do you like it here?

What's your name?

Martha

Martha Tell me about yourself Martha.

There is not much to tell, Sir.

We wander along the roads

and stop when we find inns, then I dance there.

Where did you learn to dance?

I never learnt it

So it's a natural talent.

And this guy is you lover? No, Sir

You cannot fool me! Yet it is the truth.

I'm just happy to be able to dance

But you are not letting me have a drink alone?

Come Drink with me.

To your beauty!

Oh Sir, I know where it is

Yes? Then get up

Pedro! Nando!

- I'm glad to be in the mountains again - Do you come from the low land?

Yes,

but here, I feel a free man.

Do you have anything to drink?

I have plenty of milk.

Where are your sheep grazing? At the lake

- Do you have many lambs? - Sixteen!

I had twelve but the golden eagle took two

Were you in Roccabrona?

You have changed Pedro

since I was here last.

That's a while ago.

Changed, you say

Yes Nando,

before I was happy that

the sun was shining only for myself

and the sloes were scented only for me.

Now, I would like to share

everything that is nice

and makes me happy

with a woman.

Do you anything about women?

I never was with a woman

You'll find women only in the lowland.

And the lowland is bad.

The women there are possessed by the devil

I know one and I'm even prepared to fight with the devil

Yes, I know one.

Come

Choose something

Make yourself beautiful

That's the way you should look for me!

You're to good to wanderand dancing in inns.

The old guy, the musician, he's not your father is he?

Does he beat you?

I won't let you go back to him.

I want you to stay here.

Say you want stay

I love you

and want you to love me too.

Listen here. You have beaten that girl.

I'll have you whipped out for that.

When you're still here in an hour,

the dogs will kill you.

Go!

Hurry up!

I can't give you more. Only one bucket per person.

Good day Don Sebastian

- Is everything all right? - Yes Sir.

You devil!

Here we believe that the devil can take possession of people.

He's good to you, as good as he can be.

But the peasants call him the wolf.

How could we help the peasants?

You can't, I can't. None of us can.

I'll talk to him.

- He'll beat you - No, he'll not beat me.

I have a surprise for you.

I want to give you this.

Now it's yours.

I have a request

Anything you want!

The peasants have been waiting for hours

I know what they want

Talk to them

That's my request

All right, I'll do it.

Well

Sir, the village is in distress.

The well has run out.

We must have water!

Ah! You must

Our cattle die of thirst, the fields are dry. The corn is burned.

If you don't give the water,

we cannot pay the rent.

Then I'll have chased away

Sir!

Will you give us the water?

Go

What do you want?

I have to talk to you.

Take this for the rent. I want to help you.

Goodbye.

- Natario, did you fix it? - Yes.

The millstones are turning again

Yes, the millstones are turning again

Today is our lucky day. We can pay the rent.

That foreign girl gave us this. Who?

The girl from the castle

Don't you know it belongs to that monster?

We do not need charity.

We just want our rights, do you understand?

Our rights!

You did not pay attention to what happened, why?

You swine.

You should watch out! Go! These idiots all the same.

What are you going to do?

Natario! Natario!

No more water.

The monster!

Donna Martha has a good hart.

She's very generous with the gift you give her.

Natario, the miller brought the necklace back.

He said he doesn't need charity.

Martha!

You are not wearing the necklace.

Did you lose it?

No.

What did you do with it?

Answer me!

I gave it to the miller

so he could pay the rent.

What?!

Here Put it on.

You have been seen at the weir last night. And you own rent to the Marquis, one year of rent.

Now it's enough.

You'll be thrown out.

Martha!

Camillo!

did you see Donna Martha?

Donna Martha?

- She left the house - When?

A few hours ago.

Ask my men to search for her.

All right.

Any idea where she could be?

Did you beat her?

One day you'll be able to rule, Donna Amelia

First there has to be a wedding.

That's why I came.

Let's see the debts of Aviedo ten thousand.

And another for Aviedio, six thousand.

But sixteen thousand were was already paid How much is outstanding?

Here I have..

I know very well.. if it's a lot, it's too much for me.

And here two creditors: both ten thousand

Thank you so much!

And then here.. two, eight, nine thousand

Every time it's more.

You promised me to get rid of that slut.

But Donna Amelia, please

You keep telling me he'll throw her out like all the others.

I'm still waiting!!!

Maybe she will become the Marquise of Roccabruna

There is no reason to get upset. She left already.

- Really? - Yes, I succeeded

You? Maybe he got tired of here?

Mmm with a helping hand

Well, let's go back to business.

How much is the total?

A grand total of 35.000.

All right. Tomorrow it will be paid.

But it's the last time

Your words sound hard, Donna Amelia

50.000 for a Marquisit's...

A bargain

Sir, we found this in the hills at Campo Verde

- Anything else? - That's all, Sir.

We really looked everywhere.

If you can't find her I'll have you flogged.

Water water

The peasants the peasants

Calm down

calm down

I am with you.

Come here!

Dona Martha ! Oh she's hurt.

Caramba!

- I'm coming with you - You stupid boy!

she's from the castle.

- What do you wish? - Sir, just a few small things.

These are my promised notes..

So Maybe next year if the harvest is good.

I'm afraid

I cannot wait till next year

What does that mean?

I'll have to foreclose

My dear Mayor

I think there is a solution

Of course!

But the insult my daughter

has suffered this

must be made good.

So?

You must keep your promise to marry her.

But first that woman must go!

Out!

- Sir - Out!

We'll see who throws whom out

Damn...

Well, any advice?

You're always so clever.

There is no advice I can give.

Does he mean it?

Yes..

Giving up Martha no way

Don Sebastian...

You don't have to get rid of Donna Martha.

- There is a solution - What kind of solution?

Donna Martha could be married off.

Are you crazy?

We'll find her a husband.

He doesn't have to be a real husband.

Pay someone from the village to give his name.

Donna Martha will be near to you.

It will not bother Donna Amelia

and you will be free of debt.

Not bad.

That's the solution!

We'll house the young couple in the house with the mill.

It's not too far away.

Does anyone live up there?

Only the shepherd.

Yes, the shepherd.

His man brought you back

Josefa!

I want to leave

Wherever you go, you can't escape him.

Let us alone.

I need to talk to Martha.

Why did you run away?

Where you afraid? There is no reason for that.

Pleas Sir, let me go.

No, we shall stay together forever. Here.

- Forever? - Yes.

You think I'm the wealthy master of Roccabruna.

But I absolutely don't own anything, everything is in pawn.

A rich marriage is my only way out.

You want to marry?

Then I'll be free.

You will also marry

- I? - I've already chosen a husband for you.

Oh no!

It's just a mock marriage.

You'll bear his name, nothing more.

In reality you will remain my wife.

And that man?

He gets the mill in return.

I'll never let you go.

I'll never let you go.

Never again.

You hear?

I need you.

You hear?

I'll rather kill you than let you go.

Pedro! I have news for you.

What's the matter?

Don Sebastian told me to come to you.

He wants you to become a miller.

What?

In the lowland?

- A miller? - Yes. An order of Don Sebastian.

And you're getting married,

to the woman his men found in your hut.

What??? What did you say?

The woman who was in my hut?

Yes, you have to marry her

Have you seen her? Do you know her?

No.

I was told you saved her, that's all. As a reward she'll be your wife.

- You, old man.. are you making fun of me? - Of course not!

Son Sebastian ordered me to tell this to you.

And I must take your place here.

What's happening?

Are you out of your mind?

You know Nando,

I never thought I'd see her again.

I was walking in Roccabruna.

At the tavern I heard music and then

I saw her for the first time.

She was dancing.

She was so lovely Nando.

I forgot everything.

And now she's to be my wife?

Our master is very kind.

How can I thank him?

Pedro, you do not know the lowland.

People are different there.

Not good.

Nando I'm not afraid.

Goodbye.

Don't cry

don't cry

The bridegroom is downstairs

Send him away

Tell him to wait in front of the church

Yes

I'll come to see you tonight

tonight.

Martha!

finally you came.

Friend! A toast to love!

Three cheers for my beautiful bride!

Martha!

My dear Martha

I'll make some fire.

Why don't you look at me?

Come, sit here next to me.

Leave me alone

Leaving you alone?

Don't touch me.

But what's the matter?

Don't you like me?

I despise you

You despise me?

But why?

You took the mill

I preferred my hut!

Why did you marry me then?

Because I love you

Me?

You love me?

Yes.

She's not yours, stupid guy!

- what did you say? - Let me go.

Come here.

Beg her pardon. He insulted you.

I beg you let him go

I should let him go?

Please, for my sake

If you want

You fool! You fool!

- Oh I was looking for you - My dearest Amelia,

I'm sorry but I have to go

and meet someone for my cattle

But I don't like to be alone without you

Pedro.. Pedro Come in.

Come, don't leave me alone

But didn't you tell me to leave you alone?

Forget it

And that you despise me?

Do you know something I don't?

Maybe that's why they all laugh at me?

If you love, don't ask me anything

Whom can I ask? You know something.

Why are they laughing?

Everyone knows something I don't know. But now I want to know:

why are they laughing?

Why am I a fool? Why? Why?

You Is there someone else?

Yes

It's our wedding night

- Let me go! - That's the way I like you best

Try and take my wife if you dare.

Get out; I'm the master here

You are the wolf
