THE GODDESSES

A Film by

Written and Directed by

Take the right at the Kilometer 91.

Follow the dirt road until the end.

If the maid won't be there, open the padlock with the golden key.

The other key is for the front door.

The maid comes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

You may ask her to come every day, if you want.

She lives beside the gas station, less than a mile away.

In this gas station there's a telephone with direct calling to the city.

Don't be frightened with the house, nor with the things.

It's all kind of messy, later I tell you why.

But I think that it will be great for you.

It's the ideal place to be really alone.

Alone.

Don't forget everything I've told you.

It's you who have to help yourself now.

Nobody else.

React truly.

And you'll see how everything will change.

Don't take more than one pill of the new medicine.

If you're able to dismiss the other, it would be better.

I'll be waiting for your phone call at Friday afternoon in the office.

Be sure to visit the little lake at the end of the stream.

It alone worth the journey.

Ana

Ana

Let's go back. Let's go to Ilha Bela.

No.

We have to stay at least one day.

Otherwise it would be indelicate.

ANIMA

Let's give up.

If we leave now, we'll be arriving in Ilha Bela at nine.

Let's go.

I can't stand it anymore.

I don't know what to do.

Call the Dr. Ana.

Please.

At this hour?

2282 - 5257.

Can't you control yourself a little bit?

She said that I could call anytime.

No, I won't do it.

Then I'll do it.

2282 - 5257.

Hello?

Doctor Ana?

Good night.

Paulo speaking. Paulo Mendes.

You don't know me.

Yes. Angela's husband.

Good night.

Sorry.

I know that is ridiculous to make you come here at this hour.

But I can't stand it anymore.

Angela, you need to collaborate.

Do you remember what you promised me at the office a few hours ago?

I know, but I can't.

I can't.

You're indulging yourself too much.

Thanks for coming.

Take it.

I don't want to.

It will do you good.

I don't want to sleep.

I prefer to keep talking.

I want to see the sun rise.

Take it.

You want me to sleep so you can leave.

Don't go. Stay at least until tomorrow morning.

I need to go.

No.

You have to stay.

I stay.

Ana... I feel myself smothering...

Exploding.

This is all so horrible...

With no ending.

It would be better to die...

But I am scared.

What of?

I think that it would solve everything.

What everything?

I myself don't know.

I feel death so near...

Quite close to me.

I'm scared of this night.

Afraid of sleeping and don't wake up anymore.

It's a hell...

Thank you.

What am I supposed to do?

Nothing now.

You should have done something before.

I tried.

Perhaps I had made her get worse.

But I swear that she was almost like this in the beggining.

It was not me. It was not only me.

There were always this uneasiness... This anxiety.

This clime.

That's what fascinated me about her, this craziness...

This eddy.

She's that way with everything.

You don't even imagine how much I love her.

I'm living in this hell because I can't even think in a separation.

Do you understand?

It's been already five years, I can't disconnect myself.

It's a great passion for what I'm seeing.

Don't look at me that way.

It's true.

I don't even know how much I'm guilty of it all.

You're as guilty as me.

A colleague had to travel and passed Angela to me.

He, too, didn't know what to do with her anymore.

Though he has much more practice than me.

I graduated less than two years ago.

This was my fourth case.

And I don't think I was very effective.

I would like to pass Angela to someone more experienced.

She only got worse with me.

And keeps getting worse.

I don't know what to do.

And now that I know you I think you can't do anything too.

Angela will never get better.

It's good you know it.

Maybe she gets better.

But for some time, only.

You know... Sometimes I think she has nothing.

That she...

Last year we sold everything we had...

And we went to Europe.

And I thought that she would die of so much uneasiness.

In the middle of the voyage through Italy...

She wanted to jump from the train.

I don't know how I managed to impede her.

When we arrived at Venice, walking through the empty streets of the city...

She got better.

Suddenly.

I remember it as if it were today...

The moon... The water.

She transfigured herself.

She looked like a new person.

I like here so much.

I don't know why I don't come here more often.

Nobody of my family wants to come.

The house is practically closed since my grandmother's death.

After this, nothing changed of place.

Almost twenty years...

Only my mother and I used to come.

I think I myself passed two years without coming here.

It's a pity... It's so close of S�o Paulo.

And the places in the surroundings are wonderful.

One can swim, take a ride of boat, or of powerboat.

I had a formidable one.

There's also a marvelous little lake less than a mile away from here.

It looks like a transparent goblet.

I had wonderful times here.

I still remember my boat rides with my grandmother.

I was young... I was afraid.

But my grandmother used to give me an incredible confidence.

She made me swim... Ride horses...

Drays...

I myself holding the bridles.

It was the best time of my life.

And I was marked by it.

My grandmother was one of the first psychiatrists of South America.

She studied with Jung in Europe.

She liked to live, to study and research.

She built this house in 1927 and she began to live here.

My grandfather didn't want to come and stayed in the city.

Her friends were vanguard artists...

Scientists, writers.

My grandfather was a mediocre man.

He only thought about money.

They tell incredible things about my grandmother's life in this house.

I don't know if it's true or not.

But anyway she became a myth in the family.

They were ashamed of this myth.

But not me.

For the things she left written...

She seemed to live in a state of passionate happiness.

She was called Ana too.

She had no prejudice.

She didn't visit anybody and didn't demand that anyone visit her.

Sometimes she gave incredible parties here.

With orchestras scattered through the garden.

Flowers... Puppet-boats running loose through the lake...

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Hi. - Hi.

It's nice to see you this way, calm.

Will you come back?

Will you?

I'll be back if I can.

I have three appointments and plus the hospital.

Paulo have to go to the city tomorrow.

I don't want to be alone.

Will you come back?

Do you promise you will come back?

I promise.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Hello.

Bye.

See you tonight.

See you.

Promise fulfilled.

Yeah.

You look like a goddess.

DANGEROUS CONFIDENCES

The city was unbearable.

I couldn't wait to get back.

I gave up confronting all of that.

It's a pity that we need money even for the essential things.

And we haven't had much luck.

Paulo hasn't been winning any project lately.

And I, with this problem of mine, happened to lose the best job I ever had.

But I don't want to work for anyone anymore.

I want to do something in my way...

Something that pleases me, creative.

Or I'm going to live poorly...

In some place that I like.

You may come here whenever you like.

The house remains in inventory.

It won't be easy to sell it.

The lot is enormous, the house is old.

Nobody will want it.

And I'm going to resist while I can.

I hope it takes some time.

That the house stay as it is for years.

You may come anytime.

Nobody comes from my family.

Even when my grandmother died, nobody came.

She died alone.

What did your grandmother die of?

I don't know.

Nobody knows exactly.

My mother died without telling me.

I just know that in the end she didn't want to see anyone.

This

planet

This planet is ours only by chance.

"The humanity doesn't have a destination nor a privileged place in the universe.

If it didn't exist it wouldn't make any difference to nature."

I think I'm going to sleep.

That bath drove me drowsy.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

You know...

For the first time in a long time I'm fine.

I feel like...

someone who have died, revived...

And still have the chance to look back like another person...

In another time...

In another life.

Good morning.

Hello.

Where are you going?

I need to go. I left all prescribed for you here.

And you can take one of these a day too.

Phone me on Monday.

Will you have the courage to leave precisely today?

Why?

March 18th.

My birthday.

Today is my birthday.

Today?

March 18th.

This time I want to celebrate.

You have to stay.

Hmm?

What about us? How are we going to be in thirty years?

Dead or old?

It's a pity that a face like this has to grow old.

End up.

And one day it will be a simple...

I always keep imagining how is one's bones...

Beneath its face.

Don't be like that...

The important is to feel that someone is alive...

Palpitating.

That's the only truth... Being alive.

Being blood, flesh.

Anima.

I've been reading some of your grandmother's papers.

She was right...

"Search for the most deep, for the most intense."

Now more than never, forever...

I just want to feel.

To love.

To love at each instant.

I don't understand how it can happen so suddenly.

I'll never thank you enough.

What for?

For have offered me this house.

I was already resigned to a life of horror.

I thought I'd never get out of that condition.

I thought about suicide.

I got so close to death... To the bottom.

Everything changed.

It looks like a miracle.

Now I know that to live is the most wonderful thing.

When I think about the time lost...

Now I want to love.

Only to love.

Only to love.

Year zero.

We should stay here forever.

But there's everything that is waiting for us far away.

The world is waiting.

Work.

Money.

Family.

Government.

Angela!

Angela!

Do you come back today?

If I can, I'll come back.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is the address of Doctor Matos.

Alfredo Matos.

He was my teacher.

He liked me, though I was a bad student.

He is one of the best specialists in nervous disorders.

One of the best of the world.

He's been achieving real miracles.

He is really occupied.

He's not been accepting clients lately.

Because of the researches.

I spoke to him today.

I explained all your case.

All the details since the beginning.

He'll accept you as his patient.

With him you'll be in really safe hands.

Much better than...

I'm not able to continue your treatment.

I've never been.

I feel kind of ridiculous in the middle of it all.

Like a collegial.

By the way, I'll really abandon everything.

My work... I'm going to stop.

I told you the truth.

Sometimes you look like the less sick person in the world.

Come here.

Feel it.

I got worried when I arrived and found the house empty.

Hello?

Ana?

She's not there?

To Europe?

When?

Yesterday?

No.

It's not necessary.

Thank you.

THE END
