No Simon!

Simon!

No, Simon!

Simon...!

Simon! Don't kill our buffalo, please...

Have pity on him, please...

Simon, don't do it. Please!

Please let him live, Simon...!

Get away!

- Simon, please don't kill him - He's got to die sometime

Every life must end

From the beginning...

...this beast has been marked for death

How many days he would live...

...that had already been decided

That's the way it is, Tiago

Cry and shout all you like...

...it won't change a thing

Face facts

Who will eat the flesh of this beast?

Well...?

All of you!

Know how many buffaloes I've killed?

You didn't cry for any of them

What makes this one different from the others?

You children are so innocent...

But the time will come when your eyes are opened...

...and you'll see the world the way it really is

Yes their eyes are open, but do they really see the truth?

Look, Tonya...

People here want only one thing

To satisfy their lusts

After a hard day's work... sex is their only recreation

Slaves to their own bodies...

Nothing but animals, all of them

Filth is in the eye of the beholder

Wake up to the truth, Tonya. See things the way they are

Not while people here shut their eyes to God's truth

Don't you understand...

...it's talking that way makes people think you're crazy

Remember what happened to your mother

I fear for your welfare

I wish you'd give up preaching to the kids

People are starting to talk

Alright, granny, so when should I try to save them?

When they're all rotting in Hell?

That's blasphemy!

Shut up, granny

Talking like that, no wonder they think you're crazy

They killed my mother with their filthy sanity

What do you mean?

My mother wasn't mad

It made them feel better to think she was

This place is like Hell

A living Hell

So what if you were right?

What's the difference?

You think they'd listen to you?

I know what I believe

It's those beliefs that will get you into trouble

- Come, granny - Listen to me

You should listen to what your elders say

Alright, granny

You should understand that life is all about compromise

Are there no lessons today, teacher?

You know we had lessons last Saturday

Why are you asking?

Because my dad told us to go away...

- Go and play - But there's no-one else to play with

Go and see if you can find some flowers for the altar

Lord, I want to be clean

Your eyes are pure, O Lord

Pure...

Not like the eyes of my neighbours

Purer than the eyes ofthe children

Purer than the eyes of Simon

Save me from the eyes of Simon

He looks at me so fiercely

His eyes set my souI on fire

Simon and the DeviI are one

Save me from them

Cleanse my body

Help me, Lord, to stay free from temptation

Save me from the DeviI

From Simon

He haunts my whole mind

He haunts my whole being

He even enters into my dreams at night

No, Simon. I don't want to Simon!

I don't want to...

Oh, God, please help me! Please help me...

Juan, this is for you

Thanks

Pia, come here!

Come on

This is for Tonya

And this is for you

Stop doing that

Why?

It's over

If you say so

Simon... Where are you going?

What's it to you?

Where are you taking your meat?

If you don't want it, why ask?

I don't want anybody else to have it

I want all your meat

You're a dirty slut. It's all you think of

Simon...

You know you can't do without me

Even if others are waiting to eat your rotten meat

I'm the one you come back to

Take that. I'm going now

Where are you going?

You're going to Tonya

You want her, because you can't have her

You think I'm an easy fuck

But only you and my husband ever had me

Shut your damn mouth. Or I'll stuff it full of meat

Everybody here is sick

All they think is about screwing

And once that Tonya has a taste she'll want every cock going

You know what? You should rape her

That's more your style. Bastard! You can't even fuck right

Mama...! When is Papa coming home?

When...?

When?

When?

When?

Why didn't you tell me before?

I was ashamed

No need to be

So what did you do?

Nothing teacher...

Have you told your mother?

That's what I did

I mean, I told my mother

She said it was nothing

She told me it's called menstruation

Don't use those words

Come with me...

You must be careful. You're at an age of temptation

The Devil is never far from us

All you have to do is to let your guard slip...

...even for one moment...

...and he will get you

The Devil waits for girls with their first period

Be careful

How will I knowthe Devil?

He comes in the guise of a man

But if he has a thing hanging down below...

...then he's a devil

Devils hide their horns down there

Is my father a devil too?

She's lying, sister...

Who asked your opinion?

I'm the teacher

Can't we play a bit before we go to the chapel?

Our teacher Tonya is speaking there today

Don't you take my daughter there

Why not? What's wrong with their teacher?

I don't want them hearing her nonsense

Don't you take my daughter there

And you, stay away from that woman

Let's hope Father Philip gets back soon

Then maybe we'll have an end to all this nonsense

Blessed mother, whom we adore...

Help your children who are so steeped in sin

Help us who have forgotten your sacred lessons

Guide us who have become slaves of lust

Help us, holy Father to remain pure in heart and mind

Tempted by the sins of the flesh

We, your children, have such fragile souls

So quick to yield to the hunger of the flesh

We, your children, who are weak in spirit

Save us...

Save us from the Devil

Powerful and most supreme being

Protect us from...

...the Devil

Protect us from... the Devil

Protect us...

Give us the strength...

What's going on...?

Teacher...! Teacher...!

What's going on?

Throw dirt on me!

Come on, then!

Teacher... What's wrong?

I'm all right

What is it?

Are you feeing ill?

I'm all right now

Don't worry

Let's go and pray

We're going to pray now

Selda...?

Tonya...!

You crazy little bitch

Look at you dressed like some crazy old spinster woman!

You're still the same

Your hair's a complete disaster, girl

And you're all sweaty

And this gizmo here? What the hell is that?

Just look at you

And what's this?

I don't believe it

You're still not wearing panties?

Really, Tonya...

No woman should be seen without panties

I should have brought you some

Are those your wheels? Give us a ride, ok?

Hey... Is that Simon up there?

It is him

You always fancied him, didn't you?

Have you two done it yet?

Are these your little disciples?

This one's really cute

Come and see me later tonight

I can be your new girlfriend

Don't talk like that they're just children

So what are you teaching them, then?

Sex education?

You don't even have a diploma

I teach them the Bible and how to pray

- How long are you staying? - About a week, just a vacation

Where do you work?

In a big store. I'm a sales clerk there

Is it easy to find work?

Depends...

I know what you need to make it in the big city

It's guts and determination

So I know I'd be all right there

Are you married?

No, we're not married

What does she mean?

They live together but aren't married

What? Really

Then you can sleep here, but not whitey

Tonya, where's whitey going to sleep

Listen, Lola, I'll be gone for a couple of weeks

You stay in my house?

Are you awake?

I know what you want. I've got nothing to say

Come on, you can tell me

She's deaf anyway

You want to talk about Simon

I don't care about him

But what about you and him?

Tonya, have you done it yet?

Come on, how old are you?

Don't mess me up

22 and never done it. I don't believe it

You need one of these

- What is it? - A gift from Ronnie

He bought it off some old medicine man

It's an ancient charm

Gives men a massive hard-on

Always works for me

Try it

I don't understand why you won't come with us

You can learn a lot from Tonya

I don't believe in what she teaches

Why do you hate her so much? What's she ever done to you?

I don't care what you say. I'll never believe in her

She's just the same as my mother

They both have holes only... your teacher's hole bleeds

Take that back. Take that back now

Why are we fighting? We're friends, aren't we

Miguel, don't take what he says to heart

But my mother also says Tonya isn't a real teacher

She says we should listen only to Father Philip

It's so confusing, I don't know who to believe

Everyone's always telling us different stuff all the time

Pia! Pia...

What are you up to?

Haven't I told you not to play with boys?

Gloria! Stay away from my pupils

Why can't you let them play?

You were a kid once

Remember, we used to roast peanuts in the sand

You'd gobble them up even when they were still hot

We always liked things hot back then

Do you always have to talk filthy?

Filth is in the mind

And then I remember...

...you took Simon away from me

You still think about that?

How could I forget it?

Then you should remember how you got even...

You told the priest

About me and Simon

I saw you doing it right in front of me

The worst of it is...

...we never even finished

Everyone heard about it

It was the shame of it that drove my mother away

We're even then

Can I have some?

- Who wants peanuts? - Me...! Me...!

What's that necklace?

This? It scares away all sorts of demons

- Really? - Hmm

Let me see... Let me see

- Let's go see what they're doing - I want to go that way...

It's Simon

You see, no devil, will be able to get near you

Hold on tight

Come on children, let's go to the chapel

There's nothing here but the Devil

Where did you get to?

You still want him don't you?

No

I see it in your eyes

Lust is all you see in my eyes

It's the same thing

I know you Selda

Lust is just like hunger...

It comes and is easily satisfied

Love grows stronger with time

It's all whoring

That's your religion talking again

It's what I believe

Are we fighting again?

You always take things away from me

You even want to take the children from me

Listen to you

You're really something else

Here... Now don't get mad

Hold it

It won't protect you from evil spirits

But it'll draw men to you...

...like flies to honey

I don't want it

I'll give it to you anyway, even if you don't want it

You may as well have it now

After all, I don't need it anymore

Cut it out, I'm trying to sleep

Cut it out, you horny bitch. Let me sleep

This is all mine, it belongs to me

I won't share it with anyone

Not with Tonya... Not with anyone

Stop it

Don't you want it any more? Are you getting too old for it?

Aren't you going to bed?

Not right now. I have to keep the fires burning

Can't you take a rest?

No

You should take care of yourself

Are you going out?

I'm going to see Ronnie

You should try to get some sleep

I mean it, Tonya

Simon...?

Selda...? Is that you?

Simon...

I couldn't sleep tonight

Seeing you again this afternoon...

I started remembering things again

Go away, Selda

Remember how you messed things up for me before

I know you want me

If I was good then...

I'm even better now

I can show you things you never even dreamed of

If I need a fuck...

...the women here are cleaner

You mean Tonya?

You can't have her, ever

She's crazy, dead

But this...

This is alive... and hot for you

Bloody bitch

- Fuck off, you bloody whore - Whore, am I?

How dare you come parading your ass round here?

I'm going to kill you, you whore

Simon, come here and help me

This crazy bitch is trying to kill me

- Mona! Stop it - You bastard

Get that rope. Let's tie her to the pole

Let me go

Hold still

Tie her up

Let me go, you bastards! Let me go

Selda's... Selda's gone

We've got to find her. Quickly...

If I'd known, I'd never have taken you there

I didn't know...

You filthy animal! Disgusting white monkey

Why weren't you at the chapel yesterday?

- Dano...? - Dano! Come here

I told you to stay home

Bloody kids never listen

Some people just don't want to know what's happening

They can't understand they're not wanted

Seems it's white meat she's been saving it for

- Granny... - Leave me alone

You've caused enough trouble

Pia!

Come in here right now

What do you want?

Just trying to help. I'm getting the fire going for you

Get out of here. I never want to see you again

And don't wear my dress

I took it from the line out back

I just wanted to show you...

...howfoolish it is to keep pining for him

He can never love you

You stole him from me before

Now you want him back

It shows he doesn't care for you

You've had your revenge

So now you can go. And don't come back

Please just listen to me, Tonya

The only one here who cares about you is me

They all think you're crazy, like your mother

A crazy woman who laughed while they stoned her to death

Leave my mother out of this

Get out of here

You've been mad at me ever since

Because you thought I was a tramp, like she was

And really, you're exactly the same as she was

Get out of here

I made sure I wasn't going to end up like your mother did

So I got the hell out of here. Like you should

Tonya... This village is crazy

And if you stay here you'll go crazy too

Get out of here. We don't want you in this place

Alright

If you say so

But I'll be at the other house if you need me

Now give me my dress back

What?

Is this what you wanted? You're welcome to it

Happy now?

You must have make-up to look pretty

To look nice for the boys

I want that kind of make-up

- What kind? - Like that

You mean eye shadow?

It makes your eyes sparkle

See how a little make-up changes your face

You're finished... You next

- My mother doesn't want me to! - Without make-up...

...how will the boys see you?

What about our dance lesson?

I've got the music, my brother's tape deck

You looked dressed for dancing

Now come here, I'll show you some moves

That's it... Now move to the music

Feel the rhythm

Come back to the house right now

Hey, Tonya, come learn how to dance

- How was your trip? - OK

What happened to him?

Hurt his back, pretending to dance, silly ass

You sell the crops?

- Yeah - That's good

How's Father Philip?

I don't think we'll be seeing him for a while

That's bad

He's come down with a chest infection

When'll he be back?

- At least a month - Another month with no school

Look at this one

Look at what he got up to

Who knows what'll they'll be doing next

And the girls were walking round with their faces all painted up

Seems like someone is very keen to teach the kids about sin

We should put a stop to her crazy nonsense

Well at least they learn something

The only thing she knows is howto be a lying hypocrite

Where's Gloria?

I told her to stop going to that crazy woman

Teachers who don't teach directly from God

Can only lead children in two ways...

...both of them bad. And that's the end of it

My father's losing it. He says I've got to stop dancing

I don't understand why

Teacher says I'm pretty good

What a sucker! You believe anything they tell you

- Like Tonya's your girlfriend - Don't be so stupid

Hey, let's throw the girls into the water
