There are stories that deserve to be told, there are voices that remain silent

however, formed the country

Despite the limitations of her time

Sara Pérez Romero was a protagonist of Mexico’s democracy.

This story is inspired by her struggle.

They killed the president,

they murdered democracy.

I stay in this world

without your caresses,

without your kisses,

without your words of love.

They murdered our songs, our dances,

our endless talks.

The Revolution is alive...

Miss!

Miss Sara

Your dad is calling you

I’m coming, I’m coming!

Look at you! Your dad is going to be mad to see you like this.

Look at you, you are worse.

Yes, but nobody scolds me.

I couldn’t help it, the San Juan River was full of flowers.

Gitano loved it too, they are for my mom.

Sarita!

Nana! I’m not hungry!! I’m talking with Eulogio.

Again? You love to annoy her.

Hurry up! Or they are going to be mad at us.

Hurry up!

Mom, these are for you!

You’re a mess!

Go wash your face.

You, eat your food.

Where are you going?

It’s a secret -Your dad is going to be mad at you.

So stubborn!

Sara!

Sorry, Dad.

Elbows off the table...

- At what time do peasants enjoy themselves? - They don’t! They don’t have money.

They go for a walk when they finish their work.

And why don’t we invite Eulogio to lunch?

Because workers don’t eat with their employers.

Why?

Speaking with your mouth full! I’m going to ask Aunt Dolores to correct those manners.

That’s not fair. -What did you say?

I said that’s not fair.

You are too young, you don’t know what you are saying.

When I grow up everybody will eat at the same table.

Sarita!

This child does not stay still.

With me she is always lovely.

Are you ready to travel?

Very well, change her clothes.

I want to go to Mexico City too.

No, you stay with me.

Sarita needs the education of Aunt Dolores and you need to learn how to be a man.

Next time you can come with us.

No, there is a lot of work here.

You need to learn everything to run the estate. One day it will be yours.

I do not like it!

I am coming to visit you soon.

Take care of yourself.

Come with us -No, who will take care of Manuel?

My dad.

This will pass very quickly. Besides, we are going to write letters to each other.

And you are coming for vacation.

Can you tell me about my mom?

She was beautiful and generous,

just like you.

I found something for you.

My mom!

She is always with you and takes care of you, my little girl.

You are going to love California!

You are going to meet new people, you are going to learn different things.

That is what I want:

expand my knowledge and...

help the people who do not have the same opportunities as me.

A woman’s greatest virtue is her intelligence, and you have plenty.

Without your help,

I wouldn't be doing this trip.

I only showed you the way, all the credit is yours.

You are ready to make your dreams come true.

It's here! Let's go.

The last rosary is at 7.

We go to bed at 8.

You must keep silent and always speak in English.

Your classes, besides Religion, will be: History, Ethics, Greek, and Greco-Roman Poetry.

Take her to her room, please.

Bedtime is at 8.

That’s what she thinks.

Mexican?

San Juan del Río, Querétaro.

Let’s go.

Classrooms are over there...

By the way, I’m Mercedes Madero and she is my sister, Magdalena.

A new nation is conceived in liberty,

and dedicated to the proposition...

...that all people are created just and equal.

That we highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain.

That this nation shall have a new birth of freedom.

And that government of the people, by the people, for the people,

shall not perish from the earth.

Lincoln was always a man of the people.

A pride of our land for abolishing slavery.

Sara

Our Father, who art in heaven...

Let’s go to the bikes!

I want that one.

Get on!

I don't know how to ride. -It’s not difficult.

I will teach you, come on.

Ok.

This is the technique:

You harden the body and put your buttocks on the seat.

And with confidence and security in your balance,

you ride...

That's it, Saringa!

I'm going to win!

Back here!

Look, look, look...

My brothers are coming to the graduation.

My dad and my brother are not.

These two only come to meet girls, they are very flirty.

But they are very serious and bitter.

I think they will never find a bride.

Gustavo is the most serious of all.

But Pancho is kind of funny and talkative.

You think so? -I don't.

Very funny, Mercedes.

I brought you something.

Choose your dress for the party.

I want... this one.

I bought you a graduation present.

You're gonna love it.

Mercedes...

Let me help you, miss.

Thanks.

What is your name?

Sara.

Nice to meet you, Sara.

C'mon!

I'm going to show you my dress.

It's gorgeous!

Look at the details. -I love flowers!

Where did you buy it? Where were you?

In the corner, you were on the other side of the street.

I love it. It's beautiful!

Wow, how beautiful you two!

Hope Pancho and Gustavo bring friends to dance.

I don't think so, they don't have friends who dance.

But I'm sure we are going to find a boyfriend at the party.

What is your secret for being such a flirt?

Oh, with this personality,

I will never meet someone.

The key is in... the face you make when you are in front of them.

The first one... is the glamorous face.

The second one:

The innocent face.

And the most important:

The femme fatale face.

And I forgot... how you walk is also very important

Ready!

Are they ready?

To me, ready.

Thanks, see you later.

Stay!

Mrs. Cerdeño...

What do you think?

Very cute -Don't you think?

I'm so excited.

Sister!

You look...

so beautiful!

This is my friend Sara.

Hi, Sara...

Nice to meet you.

And he is our brother Gustavo.

Let's dance!

Ok.

Will you dance with me?

This is an afternoon like...

the afternoons in Paris.

How?

I don't know him.

Well...

on an afternoon like this...

lovers walk by the Seine

and...

and they kiss.

Let's carry on!

Pancho...

My dear Pancho...

And it was then

in California

when I found my way,

not only with the light in your eyes,

but also

the light of knowledge,

of the ideas of justice and freedom

that I was missing,

however, I already had in my heart

since I rode in Arroyo Zarco

with Gitano

and talked with Aunt Dolores

and the peasants in San Juan del Río.

I knew then

that the land

belonged to everyone...

and I found you,

and we found each other,

and I knew I was complete,

that I had found

someone

that shared with me

that word

that

would accompany us

even

after

death:

And it's called...

Democracy

What I like most about you is that you read a lot

I do not read so much;

you are always ahead of me

I wrote you a couple of verses

Please don’t judge me

Sara is warm and graceful

Will you share with me

a little of your tender nobility?

Devotedly...

Pancho.

I think you're not a bad poet

You have learned some things by listening to Rimbaud

We are looking for Sara!

Come in

Thanks -Thanks

¡Saringa!

Come on. Welcome

My brother introduced me to Rimbaud!

He even met him at the salons of Paris!

"The world is

thirsty for love, and you...

"you will calm him"

This?

What does my little brother say?

Magdalena, no! -C’mon, let’s see!

He is coming next week

I knew it since I saw you dancing at the party!

That’s true!

Better, we’ll leave you alone!

Ok, but just read a little

"Dear Sara:

I am thinking of coming to visit you

"next week"

A toast to Pancho!

Cheers -Cheers

To Pancho! -To Pancho!

How awful!

Hey! you smell like drunk men

I'm going to prepare an orange juice

with a raw egg

Gross!

Good morning

Good morning -Is Sara here?

Yes, come in, she is inside

Shall I help you with the books?

Thanks -Oops, how many are there?

Let's see if her brain doesn't dry up from so much reading

Just like the famous Hidalgo... Don Quijote

Hi!

Do you want to come to the stables with me?

Sure! -Come, let's go

And what books did you bring me?

A bit of everything

Tolstoy, my favorite

And...

some of liberal thinking

I studied that in California

when I came back from Paris

I studied Agriculture at Berkeley

forced by my grandfather Evaristo

Honestly...

I love Politics more

than vineyards or cotton

I prefer Literature

and...

Anyway, I have read...

other topics that I like a lot

and as I told you in my letters...

I am very attracted to liberal thought

Oh...

I feel that...

Mexico must soon free itself

from the oppression of this dictatorship

The people...

must start to wake up

Let's see how good a rider you are

Right, Piropo?

Well, as good as all men in the North:

I am not that bad

I let you win

Right!

And this is how they ride in Coahuila?

We gentlemen always allow the ladies to be victorious

This is the Portal del Diezmo!

Shall we go in?

As you please

Let me...

In this place, the funds for the church were collected

My great-grandparents kept

close relationship with this Portal

Really?

They sent merchandise as tithes

It was built in 1700

Who would have thought that...

more than 100 years later a member of the Madero family

would visit Sara

This is the Parroquia de San Juan del Río

Legend says...

that only the Spaniards

had access but...

now, it is a place for everyone

That's the Virgen de Guadalupe

We are devotees

Love, panic of reason. It speaks through emotion.

Let me say it: concede nothing.

If it sighs, sings — it's good.

Magnificent.

It's time to go

The last train is about to leave, so...

move on

I invited him to stay

No way

May I stay in a guesthouse

and come back tomorrow, Sir?

No

You’ll hear from me, Dad...

Don Macario

My intentions with your daughter are serious

Give me the opportunity to show you who I am

I already met your sisters

and they have not been a good influence on my daughter

My sisters are impeccable...

Sir -I don't think so

I forgot to give you...

the invitation to my birthday party

Do not miss it

Let's make from Arroyo Zarco

our own sunsets in Paris

I want to make a very special toast

To Sara

who makes me very happy, by allowing me to be by her side...

And Don Macario...

I promise not to fail you as a son-in-law

¡Cheers!

To Sara! -To Sara

My lady, good night.

One has to do what one has to do.

Lady, good night.

Hi, good night. -Francisco.

At your service. -My name is Linda.

I love that name.

Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

Cheers.

I would love to invite you for another drink

if you will.

Why not?

May I invite you elsewhere?

I would love to go with you.

The pleasure is mine...

Okay.

Let's go...

Am I playing so badly?

No.

What's wrong?

I can't come to visit you anymore.

Why?

Because...

Because I am not ready for commitment.

I am just wasting your time, and I don't...

I don't deserve to be here.

I don't deserve your love. I...

I am so sorry...

My life is too dissipated. I don't have the will to...

Go away!

Sarita, please. -Go. Just go!

Hello.

Good evening. -Would you like some company?

No, thanks.

You will miss it.

Grandfather Evaristo has found out about your ideas.

He worries about you.

What ideas?

Your... spiritual thoughts and your liberal ideals.

He should be proud.

I agree.

The liberal ideals are what worries me least.

I lose my path,

but I'm already fixing it, okay?

The soul must seek perfection.

They changed my son in Paris.

I just ask you

not to neglect the business.

And Sara?

You already know:

we broke up.

You are not welcome here!

I need to talk to Sara!

Tell her at least to answer my letters.

By order of Don Macario, all your letters have been confiscated.

I need to talk to her!

Tell her to come out. Please!

Just go!

Don Macario is a dangerous man.

That's what you get for playing with my girl's feelings.

That man does not deserve you.

He did not want to go.

–But it's just that... –No, no “buts”!

If he really loves you, he's going to fight for you and he's going to come back.

–Yes, but look... –No!

Make him suffer.

Don't make it so easy for him.

Date other men!

Don't be so foolish.

–But... –Nothing. Look...

I burned myself in the kitchen.

Why don't you go with Aunt Dolores for a few days?

It makes me sick to see you like this.

That boy does not deserve you.

I am sure if you bet on Terremoto...

you will win.

Excuse me?

I'm going with Tamazula.

I'm sure I'll win.

Should we bet?

If I win, you treat me to some doughnuts at Café Tacuba.

Deal.

–Tamazula wins! –Yeah!

I’ve never won anything!

I'm going to spend all my time here at the horse races.

I’m very surprised.

You won.

What did you think of the race?

Did you like it?

Of course. You won.

You have something...

The truth is...

To be honest, I’m not good at riding horses.

However,

I consider myself passionate about horse racing.

Well, today you weren't so lucky.

On the contrary, I was.

I had the luck of being with you.

That kind of luck doesn't happen every day, huh?

–I'm still impressed. –I told you...

Toñito! How are you?

Hello, hello... Very well, thanks.

How’s the family?

Fine, fine... Thanks for asking. That's kind of you.

You're very welcome.

Very kind. Thank you very much.

Sarita...

I want you to be my fiancée.

I have to go back to Arroyo Zarco.

Okay.

I'll come and visit you.

No...

When I return... I’ll look for you.

It’s better that you don’t continue.

I recommend you go back.

I'm not going to stop.

You're forbidden to go any further!

–You can’t forbid me to continue. –Of course I can.

This... this is private property.

Pancho is here.

What are you doing here?

Get out of my house.

Let him talk.

Impossible.

I am regretful.

Could you read my letters?

What letters?

I demand you hand them to me.

It's not worth it.

You have to forgive him.

The...

We men can be very stupid.

I swear on my life...

Let them kill me if I fail Sara again.

I want to marry her.

Leave us alone.

This is the first...

and the last time...

that you do these things, Francisco.

Marry me.

May the Lord confirm the consent

that you have just given in front of His church,

filling you with blessings.

I declare you husband and wife.

What God has united...

cannot be separated by men.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

You may kiss the bride.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Look what I brought you.

I like it.

I found it out there.

Please, play.

Imagine how many people can be helped by using all this.

Look at everything there is...

Look at this one.

With this medicine, your wife will feel much better.

What would we do without you?

Don't say that...

I was born to serve others.

Now go to my wife...

She will give you something.

God bless you.

Are you going to be fine?

Excuse me.

My girl...

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

I came to see your husband to check if he can...

Heal me. I have a headache, and...

Nothing makes it go away.

Come and sit down.

Nanny...

–Please go get Pancho. –Sure.

How long have you had this headache?

More than a week.

Hello.

May I?

What you have is a disease of a spiritual nature.

You have to give this woman belladonna.

And then...

bathe in the hot springs of Topo Chico.

They told me you’re a saint

who heals the sick.

Alchemist.

Not saint.

Almost a saint... I’ll take that.

You’ll see, everything is going to be fine.

Thanks.

What a couple! You’re both crazy!

This is like a hospice!

And I’m exhausted. I quit!

Nanny, take it easy.

I promise to help you more.

You’ll see.

You’re crazy!

Truly crazy!

They need us...

And if we can help...

Don’t be angry at me anymore.

Come on!

Shut up.

In the state of Puebla and its surroundings,

there are large yarn factories

and cotton industries

that abuse their workers.

What do you think?

I just read an article about that in regeneración.

And if you add...?

In those industrial establishments,

workers are forced to work

up to twelve to fourteen hours a day,

earning insufficient wages...

Or at least...

wages that are not

proportional to the work they do.

–is ready for democracy! –is ready for democracy!

Special food for Mr. Madero!

Nanny!

You should try the vegetarian diet.

It could help improve your mood, Carmelita.

♪ The 1910 Presidential Election ♪...

What do you think of it as the title of the book?

This is just an intellectual task, right?

Intellectual and 100% active.

One hundred percent active...?

No, I don’t like it...

It’s too dangerous.

Be satisfied with writing, Pancho.

I wasn’t born to settle.

They can kill you. Damn!

Death is transcendence.

Nanny is right.

Your crazy ideas have no limits!

Sara, don't be mad!

You're going to leave me alone again!

Don't you understand

that change doesn’t happen in a day?

Only through peaceful means will this country change.

Do you want to be tortured,

like they’ve done with everyone who has raised their voice?

Is that what you want?

If rebellion is imminent, I will not hesitate.

I had a country before I had a wife.

It’s also my country, Francisco...

but I don’t want you dead!

Forgive me.

Without you...

Without you, I die.

You look pale.

I got sick from your vegetarian food.

I don't think so.

Let me check you.

You’d better go write.

I'm going to take a vacation from writing.

I'm going with a journalist to investigate the repression in Río Blanco.

–I’m coming with you. –No.

No, no, you’d better stay here.

I don’t want to risk you.

I'm going with you!

You’re so stubborn.

And so are you.

–Oh. –What’s wrong?

The nausea won’t go away.

You're pregnant.

–No! –Yes!

Yes! This line here means you’re pregnant!

–Yes? –We’re going to have a baby!

–Don’t go, Pancho. –No, I’m not leaving.

I started reading your manuscript.

I’m surprised by your ideas.

I don’t think your father and grandfather will like them very much.

But you’ll have the opportunity to defend them.

Don’t be too harsh with their opinions.

But always stay...

True to your ideas.

Sara contributed to many of the ideas.

Democracy has always been ready for women.

Our plan consists of the following:

Organize the people into political parties

and, in the next electoral period,

take power away from General Díaz

in order to create a situation

that makes the continuation of the dictatorship impossible.

Someone has to change this country.

My son is going to be an important part of that change.

But I don’t want him to be killed for his rebellion, Mercedes.

You write like the Russians...

and Gustavo manages like the English.

The things you say!

The only thing that moves me is conviction.

And because of that...

I’ll have to be away for a couple of days.

Sarita, please don’t make it harder.

I go with you or you don’t go!

As Mom Mercedes said:

Mexico is ready for democracy...

and for women.

Okay, as you order.

General Díaz can’t think of everything.

And it is not convenient for him to support the workers in their fight against the capitalists.

General Díaz

remains impassive to the workers' catastrophes.

The only thing that moves him

is the threat to his power.

We lost it!!

There is no greater pain than the one you're feeling.

I have lost several children.

One of them...

my lovely Raulito.

And...

it was terrible for everyone.

Pancho was one of the most affected.

The fever won’t go down.

Here, Sarita.

Take this medicine.

Just two.

You and I agree, Mr. Madero,

and I believe that if we join forces,

we can create a political party.

I have no doubt, Mr. Estrada.

I have many contacts in the cause.

Take my participation as

a full-time associate.

You know you’ll always be welcome in this house.

Thanks.

Effective suffrage,

no re-election!

This club will be chaired

by Emilio Vázquez Gómez.

Filomeno Mata is designated as secretary,

as well as Roque Estrada.

Tomorrow,

first thing in the morning,

we will deliver to General Porfirio Díaz

the document: ♪The Indefinite Re-election ♪.

Bringing to his attention

the creation of this club.

Likewise, a press release will be sent to the independent press.

Effective suffrage, no re-election!

–Long live democracy! –Long live democracy!

We conclude this meeting

with the formation of the Anti-Reelectionist Political Party.

–Francisco I. Madero for President!

–Francisco I. Madero and Roque Estrada jailed in Monterrey.

–Transferred to San Luis Potosí.

This is the worst violation of individual guarantees.

The cause of my husband...

It's a just cause!

Don't you see what's happening in the streets?

The unfortunate consequences of this dictatorship?

Out there,

the workers live in conditions

of abuse and exploitation.

Think about them...

And your country! –Ma’am...

you and your husband

are traitors.

You will remember us

when our cause

wins!

Let’s go! Hurry!

Let’s go...

Quick! They're going to catch up!

Faster!

They're going to kill us!

I promise I’ll be alright.

I’ll be back soon.

Sara, thank you very much.

Thanks.

–Ex-candidate escapes in disguise. –Ready, sir.

Thanks, Estrada.

Let’s rise up!

Remove power

from our usurpers,

recover our rights as free men,

and remember that our ancestors left us a legacy of glory

that we cannot defile.

–We are as they were... –We are as they were:

–invincible in war...

–magnanimous in victory!

Effective suffrage! No re-election!

San Luis Potosí.

October 5th, 1910.

Francisco I. Madero.

Run, Mercedes, run!

A letter from Carmen...

My very dear Sara:

With tears in my eyes, I have the painful duty

to say that my beloved brother, Aquiles,

was murdered in an infamous raid.

It is not possible for me to explain more, because I must run.

I am escaping from the authorities who are trying to imprison me.

Wait for me in Juárez. ¡Viva la Revolución!

Carmen.

Sara?

Elena Arizmendi!

Thanks for coming.

Let’s take a walk.

I want to join the Neutral White Cross that you lead.

Welcome.

Men and women provide medical care...

–to the rebel soldiers. –I know.

That’s why I looked for you, Elena.

Women also know how to fight.

I have money to contribute.

I’d like to start working tomorrow,

helping the nurses.

We have received contributions from all sectors:

rich people, the Church,

prisoners from Belén, workers from Buen Tono,

even from the pulquerías.

All aid is welcome.

I must say that my husband

is committed to your cause,

and he will give you the recognition you deserve.

Also my mother-in-law

and my sister-in-law, Mercedes.

They are raising funds.

A brigade is on its way to Ciudad Juárez

to care for the wounded.

In this "invisible" bag,

we’ll send messages to our soldiers,

telling them about the Federal troops' progress.

I like that you call me ♪comadre ♪.

I missed moments like this with my mom.

We are a very big family...

Very loving...

But you know?

That doesn't guarantee anything.

Love also means losing.

You see...

we lost Aquiles.

♪ Comadre... ♪

Love and Revolution...

They're the same!

That’s right!

I think we could hide the guns

in the merchandise your husband’s family trades.

Hello, I came for the carbines.

They’re already in this bag.

–The Winchester? –Well...

–Be very careful. –Of course.

I’m taking this...

and I’ll come back for the rest.

–Thank you very much. –Thank you.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

I’m going out to defend our land and our people!

This revolution needs us alive.

Also... what is Pancho going to do without you?!

The Federales were defeated.

Cruz Blanca Neutral intervenes. They care for the wounded revolutionaries.

Ciudad Juárez agreements triumph! Sara Pérez leads the Democracy Parade.

Long live Madero!

–Viva! –Long live democracy!

Long live democracy!

–Long live Madero! –Long live the Revolution!

–¡Viva! –Long live democracy!

–¡Viva! –Long live free men!

–¡Vivan! –Long live the Plan of San Luis!

–Long live Madero! –Long live!

–Long live democracy! –Long live!

–Long live the people! –Long live!

Francisco I. Madero for President

All your efforts are blooming, Pancho.

Your fight will change this country.

Without you, it would not have been possible.

The president of the people has arrived!

The victor over misfortune and dictatorship!

¡Francisco Madero!

But he’s not alone...

He is accompanied by the strength of the Mexican woman:

His wife,

–Sara Pérez Romero –¡Bravo!

More than thirty years of dictatorship

have made our people believe...

that their governments

are their oppressors.

The people must, from now on,

see in their rulers

their servants

and not expect everything from them.

Everything must be expected from themselves.

And then,

just as their freedom was conquered

by their own efforts,

now

to rebuild the country

towards

the path of progress.

With individual effort...

And collective!

–¡Viva! –¡Bravo!

–Long live President Madero! –Long live!

Long live democracy!

–Who is democracy? –Sara Pérez Romero

–Long live Sara! –Long live!

“Triumphal entry.”

Long live the Revolution!

–Long live Madero! –Long live Sara Pérez Romero!

And the established democracy!

We did it.

Here's to the man who is saving the people.

I'm not alone, brother.

We are taking care of you.

Because you don't realize it, but

not everyone who greets you supports your cause.

Gustavo is right.

Bring me a whiskey.

Bring a whiskey for the gentleman.

Please.

Thanks.

A toast!

For the good relationship

between our nations!

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

You are a very extravagant man, sir.

I'm used to hearing that about me,

however,

I am an honest man.

This country is...

destroyed.

General Díaz knew how to keep

the people under control.

Sure... and the government of General Díaz

was an oligarchy.

This country is destroyed because of

Díaz's aberrant policies.

Nations need control.

Otherwise, everything is insurrection.

When living conditions become decent

for all citizens,

there will be what you like so much:

“Order and Progress.”

Another whiskey?

Totally necessary.

Wilson is pathetic.

Sara!

You lose patience too fast.

We should maintain a good relationship with him.

It is not possible, Pancho.

Keep an eye on him.

He's a braggart.

Don't worry about him!

I can't believe you don't notice.

Not all people are good like you.

Good are all the kisses that I give you.

Damn it, Pancho! This is serious!

I'll take you seriously, but...

only if you give me a kiss.

Ok...

I'll give you two...

–And more. –Deal!

And what do you think of all this?

What do I think?

What are you talking about?

...about the castle?

Or about the country’s situation?

Or both?

I think they spent a lot to build something like this...

That’s why we made the Revolution.

Much more is needed!

We made ♪nopalitos con queso ♪, my General.

I see.

But I don’t plan to stay long.

What’s bothering you?

I have been your faithful supporter, Mr. Madero.

But from now on...

We have talked many times.

...my promises are being fulfilled...

They are not accomplishing anything!

The landowners are taking control again.

Your Revolution is a farce!

Do not doubt

that we are working.

Take it easy.

I am leaving.

And from this moment on, I withdraw my endorsement.

I prefer to die on my feet...

than to live on my knees!

You must

consider Zapata’s words.

He is impatient and impulsive.

Yes, but the peasants have waited a long time

for this change, Pancho.

Zapata published the Plan de Ayala.

I will read the ending:

“Mexican people:

Support this plan with guns in your hands.

Let’s fight for the prosperity and well-being of our country.”

We have to stop him!

–Huerta will take care of him. –Huerta is not to be trusted.

I trust his word.

It won’t be long before you leave.

Focus on Japan.

¡No!

I'm not going anywhere.

They will kill us both, brother.

The Revolution is not over yet.

They’re going to kill the three of us.

Take care, please.

I’ll be waiting.

I’ll be back.

Pancho?

What’s going on?

No, I won’t go out...

Did they take La Ciudadela?

And you?

Where will you be... and Gustavo?

Ambassador Sterling is willing to help us travel to Cuba.

Pancho?

Pancho!

I am so afraid.

We’ll be fine, calm down.

Calm down.

Are you okay?

Pancho?

You didn’t call me all day!

We’re very concerned about you and Pino Suárez!

Your parents are here.

The Cuban Embassy advises us again to leave.

And Japan, too,

is offering us their protection.

Don’t be foolish!

Gustavo and you can go to Cuba today.

How stubborn you are, Pancho!

Wish you were here...

My body misses you, wants to feel you,

fill me with kisses,

and tell me this is just a nightmare.

This horror can’t be real.

He’s so rude!

Your brother has always been condescending with him.

He should have controlled him from the beginning.

Mercedes,

you know Pancho...

I must confess that...

Sometimes his lightness of character despairs me.

What can I do for you?

I came to ask for your help,

to save my husband.

It is urgent to secure the lives of the President and the Vice President.

Ma’am... What do you want me to do?

Use your influence.

Help me hide them.

Impossible!

That responsibility does not fall on me.

Then...

As a government official,

you must intervene for the life of a man of utmost

authority in a country that is foreign to you.

My brother is in danger!

It costs you nothing to plead for him.

Do me a favor and...

Please send this telegram

to President Taft.

Unnecessary.

Your husband

is surrounded by men who must disappear,

like Pino Suárez.

I ask for the same protection for Pino Suárez as for my husband.

Pino Suárez is a...

Bad man!

Let’s go!

I will not tolerate

such arrogance.

Mr. Pino Suárez

has six children,

and they will not lose their father.

General Huerta

knows what to do

for the good of his country.

If you want to save your husband’s life,

encourage him to resign.

Your husband has very peculiar...

Ideas.

My husband has no peculiar ideas.

He has high ideals!

Let’s go!

Hello?

No!

No!

No!

No, not my Gustavo! No!

My Gustavo...

The President and Vice President tendered their resignation. Don Gustavo Madero was killed.

Cuban government offers asylum to Madero and his family.

Pancho in jail...

The President of the people,

the symbol of Democracy.

This is madness, Mercedes!

I spoke with Elena.

The White Cross had to help

pick up the dead

and take them to Balbuena.

They were lying in the corners.

Horrifying.

They saw some dogs approaching the bodies.

He left early...

accompanied by a military cadet.

We had an eternal embrace...

Pancho trusted more than he should

those who claimed to be his friends.

The previous night,

we walked through the forest and it made us part of its beauty.

On those nights and morning walks,

we were alone in the world and against the world.

Ignorant of the tragedy that awaited us.

You will never take my hand again...

Never again the forest...

From now on:

Loneliness.

"My blood

will fertilize the Revolution."

A piece of Mexican history

just smiled at you.

My little songbirds...

Ah, you're better now, you're better now.

And you?

You too?

And my little sparrow?

The tzenzontle.

And you troublemakers!

Bartolito,

have you taken a bath so early?

Oh, how handsome you are!

And you, Prudencia?

Always so fancy...

Instead,

these boys, the gypsies...

Happy and excited, right?

And you, my Currucucú?

We’re going to give you

some water...

And for you...

A bit of birdseed.

And we go.

Ready?

Let’s go!

You stay there.

My dear Pancho:

Lately,

I have thought a lot

about what our struggle

means

for the present time

of our...

Country.

We are...

All fine.

Pancho,

I think the time has come to meet again.

I’m thinking about going to Arroyo Zarco,

to say goodbye.

The exile you rejected...

Now takes me,

far away from our country,

where you were betrayed in the most vile way.

I don't know how I'm standing,

nor how

I could bury you.

My mind,

already...

Plays with my memories...
