Once upon a time, in a country
far away, there was a girl named Lur,

who lived with her parents in an
enchanted palace in the Valley of Shadows.

One day a messenger sent them a
letter from the wise men of Mount Fire,

in which they warned of a great
disaster about to occur in the valley.

Thanks.

Thanks to you. I am Laura.
And these bums are Ura and Jon.

Lur. Pleased to meet you.

What a nice name. Have you lived here long?

We used to live in the
country, but the truth

is that I don't remember much about that.

Okay. And how is this neighborhood? It was

highly recommended
to us and it seems quiet.

It is quiet, sometimes too much.

That will do me good. I need
quiet. I have to finish that paper.

But it seems to me that Ura preferred to
stay in the capital, where her friends are.

It was also hard for me to get used to it.

Ok. But maybe if Ura becomes
your ally things are not so hard.

It wouldn't hurt me either. If you
want tomorrow I can show you the place.

I'd love to.

Doesn't she remind you of someone?

Nerea.

It is true. You look like a lot. Since
they met at school they never separated.

They were always together inventing pranks.

And not just on the face.

What else am I like?

You have the same way
to put your feet in the world.

Of course daughter sometimes
you say some things... Put her feet?

Concerts?

And it's not for lack of space.
Whenever they want, they do

silly things in the park and
they all get together like...

Like sheep.

I guess it's not just
here. Don't think the level

of boredom reached so
much where you lived before.

You should see what the sea
does with the oldest houses.

It is eating the walls
little by little, and

it seems that someone
is forgetting about them.

This is the most beautiful thing I've heard
all year. You have the soul of a poet.

The only one nearby is a
movie theater that only shows

silly rom-come and giant
robots that smack each other.

Do you also ride?

No. I've always wanted to
learn, but the skaters in my

neighborhood didn't look like
they wanted to teach anyone.

Sure. The long board has
changed a lot since it started.

Before there was a sense
of community, people helped.

Or so you have read somewhere.

What happened?

People like this. That happened.

Then why go with them?

Come on Katia. Let's catch
up now. If not, we're late.

Katia looks nice.

But she's the only one I
think. There is an endless

competition to see who
uses the fewest neurons.

You do have the makings of a poet.

Urban poet of human disaster.
But I try hard not to notice.

What were you going to tell me?

Alex is going to organize a
camping trip. Do you want to

come? They're going to set
it up near here so I can go.

Yes. I do want to go. I need
something different, right now.

The parties that these
people put on, are different.

But what kind of party is it?

Blessed are the eyes.

I say the same, Don Rafael. I thought
that you would have already left the city.

They won't take me out
of here. The others have

left because they no
longer have anything to do.

But I have only just begun.

So can I count on you?

Bring me the spur, come on.

How much do you need?

We have not yet finished
the accounts, but I think

it will be at least half
that of the last time.

That's a good spike.
And who is in charge now?

Bernat.

It's not a bad kid.

But he's too much idealistic.

If he continues to believe
that things can change without

the support of those now in
power, everything goes to hell.

I think he has changed his point
of view, after what happened.

Better for everyone. As
long as you remember that

the old guard is not
going to let go of the reins

even if the name of the game
changes, there is no problem

with me if you want to play
Gandhi, Che or whatever.

Things must change, one way or another.

But it would be better if
they did it according to a plan.

And since they won't let
us play the political game...

And you think the elite are going
to let you, when it all blows up?

We are not going to exclude
anyone, but neither are we going

to allow the people to return
to being a slave to capital.

You talk the same as when you were
twenty years old. You have not changed.

They took away idealism
from me with a baton; I only

have faith in the inherent
evil of the human being.

For everyone's sake, I hope you're wrong.

You know where to go. We'll see
each other when the party's over.

When I think about what happened,
what we did and what we left out,

we didn't know what we were doing.

Alex!

Ura speaks highly of you. I hope this
is a night like you've never experienced.

I hope so too. Thanks for inviting me.

Shht!

I have a welcome gift
for you, Lur, but it will

have to wait a bit.
Today there is a lot to do.

Dear fellow criminals, thank
you for coming to our call.

As always, in these illustrious
events, whoever wants to

access the facilities must
pay a whopping two doubloons,

minted as required by law.

What clown are you.

Very well

We already have the keys to the kingdom.

Don't touch anything or make a
scandal, I'm risking it to let you in.

When have we let you down? When the dawn

arrives, not even the
memory of us will remain.

Thank you Zoilo. When I take
office, you will be the first to benefit.

We were like children
playing at being adults,

making up rules as they
go along and breaking

the ones that get in
the way to tell their story.

-And also a unicorn.
-What?

That you seem to be in another
world. Eneko, is his name?

There is nothing anymore. We used to hang
out before, but I think we lost interest.

Does it bother you that he's with another?

Dear friends, thanks again for coming.

I don't want to talk when
what we have to do is listen. So

I seal my lips with the only
thing that humbles me: music.

I introduce you to Maialen and
Gorka, people who, no matter

how many times I see them on
stage, never cease to amaze me.

How did we get here, to
this world between two?

And so.

We got lost. We never
stand out by being afraid.

And no one knew how to stop us.

And this heat can kill us.
Here the only oasis is your life.

Thank you for always being what I needed.

I wish you could see
yourself through my eyes.

Savior of my being.

The night is cold but calm.

I would like shelter in your skin.

And this heat can kill us.
Here the only oasis is your life.

Thank you for always being what I needed.

Without you the month of April escapes me.

Without you I would
still be lost in myself.

Without you this seat would be the end.

Ten years is a long time.
I find it hard to imagine.

Don't talk nonsense; you
spend the day imagining.

Maybe I'm in Africa. Serving as a doctor.

That would be nice.
And I would go visit you.

Me too. If you pay me
the ticket, of course.

Let's see who's missing... Leire? Married

with a couple of kids
to break records with?

The children can be,
but I don't even marry.

Lur, and you?

I don't know. I had never thought of it.

Come on, you're among friends.
No one here is going to judge you.

I believe that all your dreams are
already happening, somehow, somewhere.

I would like to be the land where they run.

How nice.

Yes; now I think I should
have thought before speaking.

At no time did we stop to
think if that was right or not.

Do you think she'll be ready?

Making the trip is not
easy. If she gets lost...

She won't be alone, that's for
sure. And it is she who has to decide.

I don't know Lur, so I can't answer.
But Ura, of course, is not ready.

And what do I tell Alex, then?

I think that he has to decide. Nope?

- Stop guy.
- It is now.

Lur, can you come with me?

Wait here, Ok?

You want a drink?

No, thanks. I'm good.

As you like. Remember that
sometimes you've to accept what

is offered to you. Don't know
when we'll get another chance.

Don't do nonsense, please.

Is there anyone who doesn't? It's too late.

It's never too late; we
can always work things out.

Let me tell you, and then you think.

I was thirteen years old. I
had arranged to meet Lara to

go to the river, to bathe, like
almost every day in summer.

Lara came with a friend of
hers, someone I didn't know. She

introduced us; she must liked
me, but I couldn't stand her.

I didn't even try: Lara had
lent her the swimsuit that I

had given her for her birthday.
I don't remember her name.

At a time when Lara had moved away
from her a bit I approached that girl,

put my hands on her
shoulders and pushed her down.

To where there is no air, you know?

She kicked and tried to push my
hands away, but I was stronger.

I don't know how much
time passed, but suddenly a

blow knocked me down,
and I fell into the water.

Lara and her friend pulled
me out of the river. And I'm not

gonna tell you what they told
me afterwards, can imagine.

Now tell me I don't deserve
to die. Do I deserve death?

I do not know. But your death
wouldn't change what you did.

You have to let it go.

You have chosen to live.
Now you have to visit Saturn.

But what?

The first night, for example.
We could have prepared

them, given them some
hint of what was to come.

Perhaps a good part of the pain that
came later would have been avoided.

The first thing is to have
water. And someone to talk to.

That I give you the reason.
Spending weeks in a place

without being able to talk
to anyone has to be horrible.

- Well, there are people who do it for fun.
- Dying of thirst?

- No, silly. Being silent for a long time.
- Well, Leire, without going any further.

I have to talk to you.

Are you Ok?

Ura, there's something weird here.

Many things. These people are like that.

No, there is something
else. Earlier, in the Saturn

room... I don't know what
happened, but I feel like...

Dear friends:
Thank you very much for making time

in your busy schedules to
participate in this humble gathering.

It is an indescribable pleasure
for me to see how, despite

the many responsibilities
that occupy us on a daily basis,

we are able to find time to raise
funds to help those most in need.

Allow me a toast, dear friends, to the

unquestionable human
quality that unites us.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Rat!

Hoffman, allow me to congratulate you.

Your parties always contain
the perfect balance between the

people you have to invite and
the people you want to invite.

Thank you Mr. Bettancourt. Now
they will have no more excuses.

I'm sure they will sign.

And if they don't, we always
have the clowns on the left.

I hope we don't have
to come to that. But if

there is no other
choice, it doesn't matter.

Katia, couldn't you wear something less...?

Less me? Of course. But
where is the fun in that? If you

have nothing to complain
about, you don't have a good time

You have too long a
tongue. Leave the board in the

cloakroom, and talk to the
guests. Important clients.

Your clients, not mine. And
I'm not even in my home. Why

do I have to talk to anyone?
Why do I have to be here?

Because I say so? If you
want me to give you permission

to go to the concert next
week, you'll do what I tell you.

That's better. Hold on for a couple
of hours and then we'll go home.

You have to practice this
kind of torture; when you

are my age you will have to
put up with them regularly.

If I reach your age.

I don't think it's worth
spending time with people not

interested in trying different
things. Wanna keep looking.

I understand you very well.
But when you go out there it's

like being completely alone;
that "search" is Greek to them.

Yes. Alone, surrounded by people.

Do you think it would be easier if
you were in the middle of nowhere?

But when there is someone
who gives orders, most people

tend to obey, without
considering the reason for things.

We spent the day talking about
freedom, art, the human spirit,

the twilight of the gods, the stupidity of

the civil service and
the unemployment rate.

I'm sorry I got you into this ruckus, Lur.

- Is this your idea?
- Of course not.

So don't apologize to me. We
are in this together; we'll fix it.

Thanks. You know? Meeting you is the best

thing that has happened
to me in a long time.

I'm glad I met you too.

The path is easier if you are not alone.

Ura, this is moving,

We can climb a mountain.
Maybe we'll see something.

Or somebody.

This is bullshit.

This is fucking bullshit!
Why do they do this to

us? Do they have a good
time tormenting people?

Lur, we don't even know if it was them.

Yes, of course; then it is
that some Martians have

abducted us. Look... I just
want to get out of this desert.

But you have to have a little patience,
Lur. If not, we will never get anywhere.

Do not tell me that please. It's what my

father always told me,
and I couldn't stand it.

Hi.

We are lost. Is there a
city or town near here?

Maybe she doesn't speak our language.

Or maybe she can't talk.

We should take her with us.

We don't know who she is or what she does
here. It is better to continue without her.

What is he doing in
the middle of the desert?

I do not know. But he seems
to know where he's going.

Why do you think that?

He is looking at the
ground, and not looking

for something in the distance, like us.

Maybe he's crazy.

Eneko?

Where do you want to go?

I wanna leave this place.

You did not answer my
question. Without a clear goal

you will walk in circles. And
you know what that means.

We wanna go home.

I can't go home. But I want to
go to the same place as Ura.

Follow her.

We never talked about
the morality of our actions.

And now? Still don't believe it was them?

I do not know. But I think
they are not the same.

There was someone like her at the party.

Before entering the tent.
You do not remember?

One or two friends with
whom to share loneliness.

At least we can defend ourselves
somehow, but what about poor Luna?

Luna?

Is what she has written on the paper
that she has given to Eneko. Luna.

We all thought that what he said was right.

Sandra!

Good thing we found you.

And what have you brought?

I don't mean to say that this
relieved us of any part of the blame.

There is not much light left.

It can't be.

It can't be.

But they were here a minute ago!
They have to be hiding somewhere.

This is absurd.

But what do you want from
us? Why are you following us?

Even if it wasn't our
ideas, we had a choice.

We could have broken
the circle, let them escape.

There's water.

We may rest here.

Forsake the land of
unreality for thy true station,

and dwell beneath the shadow
of the tree of knowledge.

O thou dear one! Impoverish thyself, that

thou mayest enter
the lofty court of riches;

and humble thy body,

that thou mayest drink
from the stream of glory.

You've been lucky finding the spring.
It takes a special sensitivity to find it.

Sometimes it takes unusual
forms: a hill that is always far

away, a space between two
trees, a path we never choose.

Actually you have been
the one who has guided

us to this site. Why were you following us?

I wasn't following you. I was going my way.

In the desert there are no ways.

No, but we each have our
own way. I just followed mine.

Did you know Luna?

We have met before, on another occasion.

She lost her speech a long
time ago, and since then

she has been afraid of
seeing people in the distance.

She doesn't recognize people.

But she has gone mute, not blind.

I didn't say that she can't
recognize people because she's mute.

Is there somewhere around
here we can find our bearings?

I can walk you to a door.
Is not far. From there

the trick is to reach the
lake and follow its line.

This way you will end up
arriving at some inhabited place,

without the danger of walking
in circles through the desert.

But that will be tomorrow.
It is time to sleep.

There are many other ways of understanding
that do not carry as much pain.

We are almost there.

Last time I left something
here to make a fire,

but it's gone. I assume
someone has used it.

Do we need to make a fire?

It's for light.

That will help us.

I hope the battery lasts.

I hope there are no rats.

Be careful in this part. If someone
falls here he won't be able to get out.

Isn't there an easier way
to cross the mountains?

I guess there are paths that go
above. But we don't have what it takes.

Courage?

Warm clothing.

I don't know if I prefer the snow...
This place gives me goosebumps.

There's nothing wrong here, if you don't

bring it yourself.
There is nothing to fear.

Have you heard that?

What?

A scream or something.

It is the wind that plays between
the mountains. Don't worry.

What's wrong?

I thought you were going
to leave me alone in there.

Don't talk nonsense. Why
would I leave you alone?

Everyone does it, right?

Up to here I can accompany
you. If you go through the door

and continue straight, in a
few hours you will see the lake.

Thanks for escorting us, Eguzki. Without
you we would have been lost even more.

Or perhaps you would have come
to some more interesting place.

Will we see each other again?

Sure, but not in this place.

Last night businessman Hoffman
was at his house, attending

to 50 guests who had come
to take part in a charity event,

in order to raise funds
for those most affected by

the tsunami that hit
Southeast Asia a month ago.

Enough is enough.

So fuck tomorrow's strike.
No mood for protesting now.

Why murder that good man, who
was trying to raise money for the poor?

We have not yet been able
to confirm who was actually in

the building; other businessmen
were on the guest list,

as
Well as several members of the

cabinet of ministers, and the
president of the nation himself.

Other political leaders in
the country have already

shown their rejection and
condemnation of this action,

and assure that no stone will be left
unturned in the search for the culprits.

What are you doing?

I am the rain that falls on
the earth. You remember?

We could go up that hill.
Sure there is something.

I think it would be better
to do what Eguzki told

us: walk in a straight line
until you get somewhere.

We are not going to get lost.

We'll try tomorrow, okay?

Are you a good friend of Lur?

Jealousy is not good, Ura. They lead us
to do and say things that we later regret.

I don't know what that
is about. My friendship

with Lur is not incompatible
with other people.

Do not be angry. I'm telling
you this because I think

you're a good person, and
you deserve to be even better.

If I get angry it's because
you say nonsense.

Don't worry. Soon everything will return to
the way it was before, for better or worse.

It's like this place is
telling us something.

What are you talking about?

Those shells that I had
collected in the sand were

my little treasure,
something beautiful to admire.

But when the sea took
them away I didn't feel

sad: it left me something
just as beautiful.

Since we cannot see the
end of the road, we should not

suffer when something
happens that seems bad to us.

That is easier said than done.

Do you really have to do her laundry?

We repeated the ideas we had learned,
we repeated the gestures we had rehearsed.

We walked on the lines that had
been drawn for us on maps and plans.

But what are you doing? Are you crazy?

So? Didn't you mean to?
Do not say stupid things.

Lur, you prefer her.

I guess you think I
deserve to die, don't you?

I never want to see you again.

Are you alright?

The strange thing is that, as
they progressed on their way,

our consciousness of belonging to this
world was becoming more and more diffuse.

This can't be. We have
walked in a straight line.

Dost thou deem thyself a
small and puny form, when

thou foldest within
thyself the greater world?

And the story ends like this?

If you want to enter the water
you just have to drown first.

Aren't you afraid they'll
get lost in the grass?

Well. The way I see it,
these balls don't even exist.

And if they did, they wouldn't
be mine for me to lose.

And what are you afraid of?

Of pain. Whatever I do, I
always end up suffering.

If you want to get into the tower you're

going to have to drop
a lot of ballast first.

And many of us forgot who we really were.

And the moment came when the door opened.

Sounds difficult. What did she do next?

She let it all go. It was
too difficult to keep walking

like this, dragging the weight
of everything she had done.

And that was how she returned to the place

where it all began.
She had left behind pain,

love, friendship, regrets.

And didn't she feel empty?

Maybe I shouldn't have started.

Why do you think that?

I was not ready.

I think that, deep down,
no one is. But it's not about

reaching the goal, it's about
walking towards it, right?

That's what utopias are for, to walk.

Who said that?

Does it matter?

I suppose not. Nothing matters, in the end.

You don't even think so
yourself. What is it that matters?

Does the pain you suffered
matter? Do the wounds you've been

caused matter? Do ideology,
prejudices, what people say?

What does it matter?

It matters what we do from now on.

Yes.

And we could return
to our home, to our life,

under the mirage of
having helped someone to

take a step further, to
see things as they are.

And yet, most of us were lost,
and did not know how to return.

Only a bunch of clueless idiots
were able to cross the threshold again.

They're the ones who helped
us come back. Despite everything

we had done, they were
about to be forgotten, to die.

I don't know if they
were aware of doing it or

not, but I wouldn't be
here if it weren't for them.

So do what you have to do.
Whatever it is, we deserve it.

There is not a single heroic act
in our history that can redeem us.

This looks bad.

So?
