There you go.

Girl?

Girl?

Oh dear.

Girl, here.

Oh no.

Girl, I won't hurt you.

Wait.

You might get sick. Wait, let's fix this.

You might get sick.

My name is Miriam.

What's your name?

I won't hurt you.

I don't know where you live.

I'll take you to my house for now, okay?

You'll have company there.

Free lodging. Free food.

I want to help you.

I'll shelter you while you recover.

Is that okay with you?

I promise I won't hurt you.

So, girl, come on.

You might get sick.

You're soaking wet.

Come.

Don't worry.

I'll help you.

Girl, where do you live?

Don't be afraid, okay?

We'll take care of you.

You'll make many friends there.

You'll eat nutritious food to help you recover.

What's your name again, girl?

Oh, we're here now.

Just a moment, okay?

Mm-hm.

Girl.

Come on.

We're at my house now.

Come in.

You're safe here.

Wait, wait. Let's take this off, okay?

Alright, slowly… Okay, come on, girl.

So you can bathe now.

Careful.

Here, here.

Careful.

Let's go.

This is my house... Carol?

- Hmm, they're here. - Come inside,

let's go in.

Bathe her first.

I found her by the cemetery.

She had no clothes.

Mm. My God.

Girl? What's your name, huh?

Girl?

Oh dear, she won't speak.

She won't speak, won't talk.

Hello?

Hey!

Wait, wait.

Wow!

Looks like I've got some competition when it comes to beauty, huh?

That's Gigi.

Mama Miriam.

- Is she a bold star? - Hey!

She's covered in a jacket.

[laughing]

Hello, Beautiful.

This is Melody. And her baby.

Good morning.

Welcome to my class.

You may sit down.

And this is Teacher Mila.

And Romy, over there.

Oh, it's Hesus.

Looks like he's smitten with your companion, Mama Miriam.

- He's giddy. - Shush!

That's Hesus.

- She's beautiful, isn't she? - Mhm.

Crazy, his balls froze.

Gigi!

Watch what you're saying! Stop it! Gigi, please.

Wait, have you eaten?

- They've already eaten. - Good.

Hey!

Oh dear, Carol, bring her into the single room.

- But bathe her first, okay? - Alright, alright.

Have you all bathed?

You don't want water anymore.

Your hand!

Beauty.

That's Beauty, she hasn't bathed yet.

But I'll bathe her next, okay?

Careful. You might slip.

Wait a sec. Here…

This is new. This shampoo and soap, you can use them, okay?

Bathe first so you won't get sick, okay?

Oh, what a beautiful smile.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Brenda.

Brenda,

don't be afraid, okay?

We'll take care of you here for now, while you recover.

We'll be your family.

Family?

Mm hmm.

- Is family delicious? - [laughs]

What does it taste like?

Uh, it's sweet, it's sweet to be loved by family.

But if you compare it to taste...

Maybe sweet, pleasant, like that.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome. Go on, take a bath now, okay?

Thank you.

Just call me if you need anything.

[toddler mumbles incoherent words]

[toddler mumbles incoherent words]

[toddler mumbles incoherent words]

Can't you sleep?

I guess this is how it is when you get older.

You know, our new ward is fine.

She keeps saying thank you. She knows how to appreciate.

We don't expect anything in return from those we help.

Helping others, that's what makes us happy.

Sometimes, it's hard because—

it's hard, they're not easy to understand.

But let's not get tired, Carol.

You know...

You know,

when I left the convent,

I promised God I would help others, especially outside the convent.

And now I suddenly met you.

And I grew fond of you too.

Maybe this is my purpose in life.

You know,

being with you in helping others.

Our angels.

They're our children.

They're our family.

Go to sleep, I'll follow soon, hmm?

- Really? - Mhm.

Come on, we have an early day tomorrow, go on.

- Go to sleep. - Come on!

- Go to sleep! - I will.

Sleep, go on… Good night.

- Good night. - Good night.

Help me!

Help me!

Why am I locked up?

Let me out of here!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Why am I locked up? Help me!

Brenda?

[wailing]

Brenda!

Brenda!

- Listen! - Don't touch me!

- Let me out of here! - Brenda, listen!

Injection, injection.

- Brenda, listen! - Let me out of here!

- Don't touch me! I'm not related to you! - Brenda, listen.

Listen! We won't hurt you.

Trust us, we won't hurt you.

- We want to help you. - Let me go!

Brenda... Shh...

Hold her.

Shhh...

- Let me go! - Shh...

Listen, we won't abandon you.

- We won't abandon you. - Why?

- We want to help you. - Why? Why?

Please listen to us.

We're here to help you.

We won't abandon you.

We're here to help you, we won't abandon you.

We won't abandon you.

Please trust us.

We're here to help you.

I'll teach you how to use this, okay?

Have a snack first.

Thank you. Go over there first.

Stay there for now.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Is something wrong?

I'm worried, Miriam.

Their relatives might accuse us of kidnapping the ones we're sheltering.

They abandoned their own kin.

And what?

Now they have the nerve to sue us?

I just thought they might use the DSWD,

or even the government, against us.

They'll accuse us of using their family…

If we leave it to the government to shelter people like them,

there will only be more mentally ill in the Philippines.

Don't they understand charity?

We're using my own money for the angels.

Miriam, not everyone thinks rationally, you know.

Some might even think

we're exploiting the angels.

Just to get money from those who pity them.

And another thing,

the donations from people who help

so annoying—they might think we're pocketing them…

Yes, some send support.

Usually OFWs.

Those people.

When we post on social media.

Good thing, there are kind hearts.

They also gave help.

- [sighs] - But Carol...

It's not enough for their needs.

That's why our angels survive

because of our own money.

Miriam, I'm just concerned.

I know your parents left you money, but…

How long will that last?

What happens when it runs out?

Miriam, at our age, who will help you when you need it?

Where will you get it?

W-What if...

What if you can't give anymore? What if you have nothing left?

Carol, don't worry.

Those who give

never lose.

I'm happy with what we've done.

Especially with you by my side.

Thank you, Carol.

And to our angels.

You give me strength.

Until now, no one has been jailed yet regarding...

Just always remember

to keep yourselves busy.

Don't keep overthinking, you'll just forget everything anyway.

Damn those politicians!

All flood control, all corrupt!

Back when I taught social studies, I told my students

never follow those foolish politicians!

That's enough, Mila, go ahead.

[laughs]

- Turn it off. There, it's off… - My problem is...

who I'll fool around with next.

My God, I need sex!

Damn it,

my vagina will dry up in this house…

- Gigi, shame on you. - Shhh!

You're so young yet all that filth comes out of your mouth.

So, Sister Carol,

weren't you ever messed up in the convent?

A dick feels so, so good.

Ouch!

Gigi, don't disrespect me!

Ouch…

Sorry, Sister Carol.

What's your name?

I'm Hesus.

You're Brenda, right?

When I was a child, I always prayed.

I went to church every week.

As for me, I grew up in an orphanage.

The Fathers raised me.

Father must have been kind to you.

Did he take care of you?

Father wasn't kind.

He was cruel.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

Are the people here kind? They won't hurt me?

I'll take care of you.

I won't abandon you. I'll look after you.

I'm used to people who deceive.

Liars, cruel ones.

Brenda, I'm telling the truth.

You're beautiful. Believe it.

I want to change my life.

Do you know a place I could go?

I want to go to another planet.

I'm here for you.

Just put the water there.

Let's always pray in gratitude for the blessings that come to us.

Let's pray that we continue to eat three meals a day.

That we always have money for your medicines,

and for your needs—soap, shampoo, napkins, and more.

Some people contact me to send pledges.

They say they'll send clothes, food, even money for your medicines.

Let's pray first, okay? Let's pray.

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

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive

from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Let's eat.

Tomorrow, we'll bring back the morning exercise routine.

You'll wake up at five in the morning and help me prepare breakfast.

We'll pray, then you'll all exercise together,

after that we'll have breakfast, okay?

Is that clear to everyone?

Yes.

Okay then, eat now.

Baby, eat now. Eat plenty, okay?

Gigi.

Baby, eat lots of vegetables, okay?

Eat now.

Hesus, you might get swarmed by ants from being so sweet to Brenda.

Gigi.

Where are you going?

I'm going whoring.

I'm itching already.

Isn't it forbidden for us to go out?

You might get into trouble.

I'm used to getting into trouble.

And why do you care?

You're new here, acting all nosy.

You're too much, I'm only worried about you.

Try reporting me to Mama Miriam.

I'll shave off your pubic hair, you bitch.

- Where are we going? - Here.

Since my accident, I've had difficulty with erection.

I also struggle to release.

Are you really skilled?

Of course, I can even make a dead man's penis hard.

Alright, if this one hardens, I'll double your payment.

Oh, shit.

Hey! Go to a motel. What are you kids doing?

Come here.

Damn, he saw us!

- Wait—there's an open tomb. - Seriously, here?

Yes, I'll take care of you.

Exciting.

I got hard. I climaxed.

I told you so.

You're really good.

Let's bathe together to save water.

Why are you barging in all of a sudden?

I'll wash you, and you wash me.

Are you crazy?

We're all a little crazy, right?

Come on.

I've never tried it with another woman.

Let's try.

Let's imitate Sister Carol, and Mama Miriam.

You're crazy, Gigi, crazy!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You're crazy, Gigi.

We're all crazy, aren't we?

Hey, Brenda. My dress actually suits you, huh?

Oh, the doctor who'll check you is my sorority sister.

She's good, and she doesn't charge me much.

She said she'll support my helping you.

Mila!

Mila!

Where are you going, Mila?

To school. My students miss me.

But you were dismissed from school, right?

Because you locked your students in the classroom.

Just teach us instead.

We'll be your students.

I locked them in the classroom because

my husband was going to rape them.

Mando would have killed my students.

He'll defile them!

Mila. Mila, what's wrong?

Ma'am, I'm a good teacher. I love my profession.

You know, my students love me. I'm good now.

Mila, you're good now.

Ma'am, Principal…

I didn't want to get sick.

I just had problems.

My husband was cruel.

I even lost a child.

Please have mercy on me, ma'am…

I need your understanding.

Mila, Mila…

I understand you… I understand you.

You'll teach again, okay?

But for now, could you teach us instead?

Mila, teach my child, okay?

We don't have money.

I want my child to study.

Mila, me too. Teach me.

I only finished Grade Four.

Okay, okay.

Excuse me, can I have food please?

The doctor said you should continue taking your medicine.

He said your condition has greatly improved.

Thank you, Mama Miriam.

I really want to get well.

Wait, wait.

- [howls] - What is this?

Wait! What happened?

- Is he hurt? - Mama Miriam, I think I know him.

Wait, wait!

Hold on, Brenda.

- Lucio? - Where is he?

Lucio, Lucio!

Lucio, it's me, Brenda!

Lucio? Lucio, Lucio.

Do you remember me?

Hey.

Lucio.

- You know him? - What?

- He's Lucio. - Let me go!

- We won't hurt you. - We won't hurt you, okay?

Lucio. Hey.

- What's your name? - I'm Brenda, your friend!

Do you remember me? Huh?

We're friends.

Where is it? Where?

- No. No one will hurt you. - No one, no one.

Let's take him home first.

Come, come with us for now.

- Come to our house. - Let's go.

- There are others there too. - Come on.

No!

- Lucio? Lucio? - Lucio?

- We'll eat. - We'll take care of you.

- We're going to eat. - You're hungry?

- Yes, we'll eat. - Food...

- We're going to eat. - There's food?

Yes, just wait, okay?

Food.

Carol?

Here, Miriam.

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do to me?

No!

Do you know each other?

We grew up together.

We both grew up in Sta. Ana.

He's pitiful, isn't he?

We're pitiful too.

Lucio's so stubborn.

He was addicted too.

So many problems in life.

Funny that we ended up together here.

Manila is so big, imagine that.

I thought he was dead.

I thought he was killed in the drug war.

You seem really worried about him.

We were childhood friends.

He was my boyfriend.

I did love him.

But…

He was hard to love.

You still love him?

I don't know.

It's not important anymore, especially in our situation.

Why? Are you jealous?

Of course.

I'm jealous. Because I love you.

Oh dear.

You know,

I don't want to think about that love stuff right now.

I have so many other problems to think about.

I know you.

I just can't remember your name.

I'm Brenda. We grew up together.

Brenda.

I knew I recognized you.

You're hurting yourself.

[chuckles]

It's nothing. And I never really die.

Bad weeds never die.

Right, Brenda?

- Not here. - Why?

Mama Miriam will get mad.

No one will tell.

No one's here.

I don't want this anymore!

What's happening there?

- Miriam. - Carol, what's happening?

Hesus? Hesus.

Hesus, Hesus, what happened?

No! Let go of me!

- Okay, okay, hands off. - Let me go!

Don't hurt yourself.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Please don't, don't, let go.

- Please don't, don't, let go. - Yes, no, no…

Shh...

Shhh... We're here.

I don't want this anymore.

- We're here. - I don't want this anymore!

I don't want this anymore!

Don't stay here, go there! I don't want to see you.

Hesus, don't be mad at me.

I don't want to see you, you don't love me.

None of you love me!

All of you don't love me.

Hesus, sorry. Hesus, Hesus.

- I'm so sorry. - I don't want this anymore!

I don't… Hesus, I love you!

No, no! Liar!

I love you, Hesus.

No one loves me.

That's not true. That's not true.

You're all liars.

- That's not true. - You don't love me!

That's not true!

That's not true!

That's not true. I love you, I love you.

I love you.

Hey! What are you doing here?

You fool! Opportunity is knocking at your door.

Leave! Stay away from me!

Hesus, I'm itching inside.

Don't come near me. Stay there! Stay there!

So what?

I've been watching porn since I was a kid.

You're such a pervert.

Gi, stay away from me!

Hesus, I'm a woman.

I'm not the priest who abused you.

Forget Brenda for now. You'll enjoy this too.

Damn you! You're such a flirt!

I really am a whore.

I have a knife.

Sharp.

If you don't agree, I'll cut your dick.

And I'll kill myself.

I'll stab my cunt with this blade.

Gi!

You acted coy,

but you climaxed too. Fuck you.

I'm leaving this shelter for now.

I'm restless here.

I don't want to see any of you crazy fucks!

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to you.

Yay!

You know, I grew up with my adoptive parents.

They weren't in their right mind, but...

But with them, I experienced true love and care.

They even sent me to study B.S. Psychology,

but I didn't finish because,

I was rebellious as a child.

I tried hard to be normal.

I tried to love several times.

I failed.

But with Carol I found love.

Wow!

Carol, you, all of you are my family.

You know, you're not easy to take care of.

Or get along with.

But...

I want you to know that I love you very, very much.

Thank you.

I only wish for you to get well and live normal lives.

And while you're under my care,

I will never abandon you.

We'll keep finding more companions for you,

as long as there are those in need, as long as I can help.

Always remember, okay?

We are one family.

So my request to you

is to understand each other, love each other as siblings.

I got dramatic. Now, let's eat.

Let's eat!

Yay!

Let's eat!

Let's eat, let's eat!

This is your favorite.

Aw, thank you!

- Happy birthday! - This barbecue is delicious.

We're here!

Carol?

- Hmm... - There.

Come here.

Here are your companions… go ahead.

Here, we have someone new to join us.

This is Carol. And you, what's your name?

You, go take a bath.

Ah, Hesus.

Accompany him to the bathroom,

give him some shampoo and soap, okay?

Yes, okay.

- Take a bath first, go on. - Go with Hesus.

That's Hesus.

Take a bath first.

Go on now.

- Go with him, Hesus. - Okay, I'll take care of it.

- Okay, thank you. - The bathroom is here.

Straight ahead, then right.

Your new ward looks like a celebrity, Mama Miriam.

There, straight ahead.

Oh, if Gigi were here,

she'd be all over him.

Here's the bathroom. Go on, enter.

Wait, I'll just get the soap and towel.

Oh dear, that Gigi, she's going too far.

You know, it's not impossible

that we'll hear one day that she was found dead.

She's turning this shelter into a boarding house.

Going with anyone.

We tried to help her...

Here's the towel.

Just call me if you need anything,

I'm right here, just shout, okay?

Darna!

What did she say?

I'm so beautiful!

Ding, the stone!

I'm Paulo.

I'm beautiful, right? Sorry.

He's more feminine than us! [laughter]

My god, your cheeks! Wait!

That's a lot!

Let me see? Beautiful.

Beautiful! Sorry.

Turns out, she's a woman.

There you go!

Paulo, join them.

Mama Miriam, I'm shy.

Oh, please!

Paulo, come on, look, they're happy.

Exercise with them.

I'm too shy.

But Mama Carol...

What?

- Lucio. - What?

He's handsome.

He's my type.

Sit beside him.

Join them in exercising, go on. Do it with them.

Go on.

Alright then.

Yes! There!

Hesus.

Where are we going?

Let's go to Hesus.

Let's continue the dancing.

Hey, Hesus! Get up.

What are you doing here?

Weren't you feeling jealous because of Brenda?

Here she is.

Let's have a threesome.

The hell, Lucio! What am I, food?

Why? You love me, don't you?

You yourself said you pity Hesus.

Brenda.

You'll be pleased. We'll be happy. Come on.

You're crazy!

Damn you, we're all crazy here.

What now? Come on.

You don't want to?

I can't do what you're saying, Lucio.

- Why? - I respect Brenda.

[scoffs] Yeah right.

Just follow my lead.

Hesus, this feels so good.

This is heaven!

Kiss Hesus.

I love Brenda. I love you, Brenda.

Did you hear that? Kiss him. Kiss him.

Go on.

Good?

Wait, wait, Lucio.

- What? - Isn't this bad?

Everything bad feels good!

So, go on.

Kiss him now!

This is God's food.

You pigs! Stand up!

You didn't give yourselves even a bit of respect.

Do this again, and you'll get what's coming!

Sorry. Sorry, it won't happen again.

Wait! Wait!

Why are you hurting us, huh?

What did we do—we just had sex.

You jealous?

You must be jealous, right?

What, you want me to screw you and Carol too so you'll be women?

You animal!

I just want us to be one family.

To respect each other.

No pursuing anybody!

- You're siblings. - Damn this family!

What do you think I am?

A good person? No, Miriam.

I'm a demon, a demon because of the people around me.

I didn't want this, why did you even bring me here?

I don't want this anymore!

Get me out of here, I don't want this!

Brenda?

You're sleeping here?

How are you?

I'm here because I came back for my vibrator.

Sometimes, Zero-wena.

No customers.

No men, so this is the answer.

Damn it.

No more batteries.

So?

How are you?

Something happened between me, Lucio, and Hesus.

Mama Miriam found out.

Lucio, the new one? The addict?

You had them both? Wow, amazing!

I didn't want what happened, Lucio forced me.

Just admit it, you enjoyed it too.

Don't lie.

Lucio is the one I love. But I pity Hesus.

So you're the one being fought over by two men.

Where will you go?

Mama Miriam is angry,

because she says you're turning this shelter into a boarding house.

I really can't settle down.

My brain will explode.

Even my vagina.

You just arrived, but you're leaving already?

Mama Miriam is kind.

At least here you have shelter.

You have food and you're safe.

But I'm not happy anymore.

I'll go even crazier.

And on the streets,

that's where life is.

That's where I can breathe freely.

You'll come back here once you get tired of the outside.

No, Brenda. I'll go far away.

Of course I'll still whore myself.

Fine, I'll go crazy and lose my mind,

but I really won't come back here.

Promise.

I don't want to see you for now.

I'll die without you people knowing.

[sighs]

Bye.

So ugly. She thinks she's pretty.

You're not even pretty.

[scoffs]

What's with you? Why do you keep rolling your eyes at me?

What's it to you? I don't like you.

You're a flirt.

You're stealing Lucio from me.

Why? Is Lucio your boyfriend?

I can take him from you.

My mom's in Canada, we're rich.

Maybe you forgot, it's all about money now, sis.

Lucio will leave you too.

If you're rich, why are you here in the shelter?

My mom will take me soon!

She'll bring me to Canada, I'll bring Lucio with me.

I'll have surgery.

What, you think you're the only one who has the right?

To have a vagina?

Delusional! Even if you get a fake vagina,

you'll never have children because you don't have a womb!

You're just jealous.

You're short. Lacking height.

You know you'll never pass for Miss Universe.

Wow!

I swear to God,

you'll rot here in the shelter.

Anyway,

you're rotten already! Rotten!

There, there! Wash that, okay?

- [scoffs] You're ugly. - So annoying.

Why are you here? Have you eaten?

Brenda, leave me alone, they'll get mad again.

Let's not repeat it.

I really want to leave this place.

What? Just come with me.

Where will we go?

Our lives are already ruined, they'll only get worse.

Our minds are broken, Brenda.

We have no hope.

Our lives are completely shattered.

As long as we live, there's hope.

Hope is in drugs.

Brenda, we'll forget everything if we have drugs.

I really need it. I don't want to stay here.

Lucio, our lives will change.

Damn it.

Only death is waiting for us, Brenda.

Come on.

Aunt Mila.

I really didn't want to.

Lucio forced me.

And...

And Brenda kissed me.

Of course I felt like I was electrocuted.

We all make mistakes.

But don't do it again, okay?

Don't give in to temptation.

But you know, Hesus, you're kind.

You're a good person.

Aunt Mila, may I ask…

have you also committed sins like ours?

My perverted husband

once brought his prostitute mistress home.

He tried to force us both, but I refused.

I said, I'm a teacher, not a whore!

He hurt me.

And they had sex right in front of me.

That's terrible, Teacher Mila.

But don't repeat that, okay?

Choose to be good.

Have dignity and self-respect.

Maybe they're right when they say our minds are lacking.

We're not in our right minds.

But in the end,

we still choose what's right, and goodness.

Okay?

Do you have any idea where your mom is?

She's in the province.

She left me with my father.

She was angry at me.

And you?

Are you angry at her?

I don't know what really happened.

I was still a child.

I was asleep when she left me.

But...

But I felt it...

I felt her hug before she left.

I've found your mom, Brenda.

Are you ready to see her?

We locked her up because her mind wasn't sound anymore.

She almost killed me.

Didn't you have her treated?

We tried but she didn't get better.

I think your father's mistress cursed her, Brenda.

My God, this is as far as we can care for her.

We're poor. I also struggle with daily medicine expenses.

Come, she's here.

What's this?

Mom?

Mom.

Mom?

Mom, it's me, I'm Brenda, your daughter.

Sorry, I wasn't able to clean her. She has diarrhea, so it's messy.

Mom, how are you?

Mom.

Mom, how are you?

Mom, it's me.

Who are you?

- It's me, Brenda. - I'm busy!

- Why are you in my office? - Mom!

Melonia?

- Mom! - Has my child arrived?

When she arrives, tell her we have something important to discuss, okay?

Mom!

I'm busy!

- Mom, it's me. - Why are you in my office?

No matter how many times you try,

she won't recognize you.

Get out of here! Why are you in my office? Who are you?

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Leave now! I don't want anyone here!

Mom!

Mom!

Leave!

Melonia! I'll sign the papers now!

Has my child arrived?

You're so noisy, get out of here! Who are you?

Melonia!

So, you saw your mom?

Good thing she's still alive.

Do you want to see your father?

I saw him recently.

Where did you see my bastard father?

Over by the Sta. Ana bridge.

With a gay partner.

I don't know if they're still there now.

Go see him.

[child crying]

Sir, stop over there by the post.

There.

Straight ahead, a little further.

There, just stop there.

I'll get down here, sir.

Okay...

Thank you.

Uh, sir, do you know someone named Dado here?

- Dado? - Yes.

Yes, At the end, near the bridge.

- At the end? - Yes.

Thanks.

Oh, just when you're hanging laundry, it rains.

- Excuse me. - Oh, life,

you'll just end up singing.

Hello, do you know Dado? Is he here?

Why are you looking for my husband?

Call him so you'll know who I am.

If you're my husband's mistress,

I'm prettier than you.

If you're pretty, then there are no ugly people in the world.

She's too much.

Who are you talking to, Beauty?

Someone's looking for you. You took too long.

How are you, Dado?

Brenda!

Do you know her?

Yes, dear.

She's my daughter.

Whose child are you again?

Oh right, from that crazy Anita.

Well,

if you came here for support...

Girl, you're grown up now.

You should know how to manage life by now.

You look good now, Brenda.

You can strut again.

I'm sure many will still be interested in your body.

Better yet, come back with me.

I'll take care of you, love you.

Damn you! Bastard!

Bitch!

You think you're tough, huh? Remember, I'm your dad!

You are my father but you made me your wife.

Then what?

You sold me, you animal!

Huh?

- Talk to this rude woman. - What's happening?

Damn you!

- Damn you, you violated me! - Dado!

You violated me, my mom went insane because of you!

Stop it!

- Want me to hit you next? - No! Stop it!

- Damn you! - Dado!

Neighbors!

Dado!

Dado!

Help us, please!

Mama Miriam? Sister Carol?

Mama Miriam? Sister Carol?

Mama Miriam? Sister Carol?

That must be Brenda.

Brenda?

- Where have you been? - We were so worried about you.

Mama Miriam, I've avenged my mom.

And myself, against my father.

What did you do, did you kill your father?

Mama Miriam, killed right away?

I hit him with a plank until he fell into the river.

It feels so good, Mama Miriam.

It feels so good… It feels so good.

Come on, let's go inside now, okay?

How are you?

Here…

Still alive.

We all go through painful things, right?

But we endure them.

I'm okay, Hesus.

I'm okay.

When I saw my mom,

I was hurt…

hurt by her condition.

But when I saw my father, I beat him up.

I felt so light.

There's...

There's some sadness.

But...

I feel quite happy now.

I'm happy for you, Brenda.

But no matter what happens,

I'll always be here for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lucio, are you okay?

Brenda, Brenda,

so many things are troubling my mind.

I'm confused now.

Do you want me to call Mama Miriam,

- so they can give you medicine? - No, no.

Don't ever do that.

Brenda, I need a different kind of medicine.

- Stop it, Lucio! - I need another kind of medicine.

Stay away from drugs!

Damn it, you don't understand me.

That's the medicine I need.

I'm not happy here anymore, I'm only getting worse, Brenda.

I don't want to stay here.

We're fine here, right?

We eat three meals a day, even snacks,

we have a bed, and people who take care of us.

What do you want?

- Is something missing? - Damn it! I'm not happy here anymore!

I don't want this anymore, I want to leave. Please.

I don't want this.

I want to leave here, listen to me.

Where will you go?

Where I used to live.

At the cemetery. I'll be there.

You'll find me there.

I don't want to stay here.

Lucio!

- Lucio! - I can't take it anymore.

Sorry, I didn't notice you were there.

I was watching you.

You dance so well, huh? Do you want to dance? Mm?

Pau, I have something for you.

Oh my.

What's that?

You're so thoughtful.

You know, in my whole life,

this is the first time someone gave me flowers.

Do you like it? Huh?

Oh, Lucio… don't be like that.

- Why? - I fall in love easily.

Really? Well...

I just...

I just want to ask you a favor.

What is it?

I just need a cellphone.

I need to go somewhere and make a call.

Maybe I can borrow one.

- Please… - Where...

Where are you going?

Do Mama Miriam and the others know?

Don't tell them, okay?

Don't tell them.

I need to find my relatives, I miss them.

Anyway,

when I find them,

I'll tell them you're the one I love.

Do you love me?

Don't you believe me?

Because...

In my whole life, this is the first time someone told me they love me.

From a man.

Pau.

I love you!

I love you, okay?

Hmm?

Come on.

I just need a cellphone, I'm in a hurry.

Maybe you have extra. I need money.

Here. From my mom in Canada.

If you trust me.

The cellphone?

Come on.

Cellphone.

- Come on. - Here.

Here it is, just make sure to return my phone, okay?

I'll come back. I'll return it, okay?

Okay.

Just don't tell Mama Miriam, alright?

- I promise. - Thank you.

Just promise you'll introduce me to your family, okay? I'd love that.

I gotta go.

Mama Miriam, Mama Miriam! Sister Carol!

Paulo, what is it? It's so early.

Lucio's gone.

Lucio…

What?

He left us.

Wait, wait.

What happened, Paulo?

He took my cellphone, my things.

That bastard! That bastard…

He tricked me, he's a thief.

He even told Hesus he won't come back.

But...

But it's okay.

He can take everything from me, as long as he doesn't leave me.

I love him so much.

Mama Miriam, I love him.

I really love him.

Lucio!

Lucio!

Lucio!

Lucio!

Lucio!

Lucio!

Psst!

- Hey. - Lucio?

Hey, I'm here.

Lucio!

Lucio.

What happened?

First, Gigi left.

Then Lucio.

Now Brenda too.

It's fine if Lucio and Gigi leave.

Just not Brenda. She's kind.

Hey Melody,

don't speak badly of my Lucio.

Could Brenda have followed Lucio?

Maybe. But they know how to come back here.

Brenda's mind is clearer now. I'm sure she'll come back to us.

I'll always pray that Brenda returns.

I hope her mind is enlightened.

She'll be in danger with Lucio.

Hesus,

I said don't say bad things about Lucio, it hurts me.

- Brenda. - Mm?

Do you hear that?

- Damn it! - Who?

Brenda, damn it!

Shit!

Who?

They're here, the ones who took me!

Damn, you're high again.

Major! It's Major!

Damn you, Major! Damn you!

My body's numb from all the beatings of your men.

I'll kill you, Major! Damn you! Damn you, Major!

That's not Major, that's Colonel—your lover!

Colonel?

Damn. Don't say that name.

Don't say that name!

Colonel!

Colonel, I don't want this anymore…

I'm begging you, stop screwing me in the ass!

Colonel! I'm so tired of sucking your filthy dick!

- Stop it, Lucio! Stop it! - I don't want this!

Stop it!

Stop it! Lucio! Stop it!

What do you mean stop?

You don't understand me.

They'll kill me, Brenda, they'll kill even my family's family!

I'm the only addict, I'm the only addict!

Why, why? Why even my family? Why?

Damn all of you!

- Damn you! You animals! - Stop it!

Leave now! Just leave me alone!

I can't leave you, Lucio, I love you!

Shit! Love? Screw that love!

- Who you need more is Hesus. - I love you!

- Listen to me! - I love you.

You need Hesus! Not me! Damn it, Brenda!

Damn it, listen!

You need Hesus!

Hesus, not me, because I'm worthless.

Do you understand?

Damn it, leave now! Please!

I don't want to leave you...

- I don't need you! - You need me!

You need me!

Damn it, I don't need you.

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Leave now! Leave, or I'll bury you alive here.

Damn you, Brenda, leave!

I love you!

Damn you!

Leave!

Lucio! Surrender now! We've been looking for you a long time.

Surrender now!

Is that so?

Long time—why only now?

Damn you, I won't surrender to you!

No matter what happens,

I won't surrender to you. Damn you all.

Come here!

What?

What?

- Damn it, I'll blow his skull open! - Lucio!

- Lower your gun! - Don't! Don't!

Please!

Man, don't shoot! He's crazy! He might do it!

I still want to live.

Do you want to live?

Tell your companion to lower his gun!

Lower it.

- Damn it, lower it! - Lucio, don't!

- Lucio. - What?

Release me. We'll let you run.

Say it!

What do you want, do you want to live?

- Lucio. - What?

Lucio.

Lucio!

You think you'll catch me?

Damn it, no!

You won't kill me!

Lucio, don't, please.

No matter what happens, only I will kill myself!

Don't! Lucio, don't!

Only me, only I will kill myself!

Don't! Lucio, don't!

Don't, Lucio, don't!

Don't! Lucio, don't!

Don't!

Lucio, don't!

Don't!

Lucio!

Lucio!

Lucio!

I'll take care of Lucio's cremation.

We'll be the ones to claim his body.

It's sad that he ended his life.

Lucio said...

I should return to you, Hesus.

I'm right here anyway.

Let's pray for Lucio's soul.

Paulo is wailing.

He won't come out of his room.

He can't accept that Lucio is gone.

That's why I won't be separated from my child!

I won't abandon him. So he won't go astray.

He's so kind.

Right, Emmanuel?

Mama Miriam.

Hmm?

I want to visit my mom.

She might be rotting in all her filth in her cell.

I want to clean her.

I want her clean, not dirty.

Oh, Romy spoke!

It's cold.

There.

Wait.

You know, you're so kind to me.

I feel comfortable with you.

Really?

Did you bring bread?

Later, I'll buy you some bread.

Let's finish your bath first, okay?

There.

Can I see? Wow! Look at you!

When I get better,

come with me to find my child.

I'll go with you, okay?

I love my child so much.

I left her, but I love her.

I'm looking for her. I'll apologize to her.

I left her.

Mhm.

- Come with me when I look for her, okay? - I'll go with you, I promise.

Promise.

Promise, okay? Promise.

Come on, let's go. Here it is, here it is.

The towel.

And now… My mom will take me. We'll be together again.

But of course,

I want to thank, first of all, Mama Miriam,

to Sister Carol.

And of course...

To all of you, my siblings.

I'm probably not totally...

Well yet.

But...

But with your help,

my mom's,

and a little prayer…

This...

even this gay man's mind will straighten out.

But don't worry.

I'll visit from time to time.

And my mom and I will give a little help.

- Of course. - Right, mom?

Mama Miriam.

Paulo.

We'll be sad because you're leaving us.

Not really.

But of course, we're very happy because your fate will change.

Thank you.

Paulo, thank you for the wonderful memories, okay?

Anyway, life is too sad and hard,

so can we celebrate instead?

- [cheering] - Yes! Let's eat!

Let's go!

Let's eat! Let's go!

Come on.

Let's go.

Go, go!

My god.

Let's eat, let's eat!

It's time to eat, it's time to eat.

Hmm, spaghetti!

- What does the baby want? - Hi mommy.

I'll miss you.

Hey you.

Take care always, okay?

One day, Brenda, we'll be together too.

Our lives will change too.

We'll have a family.

We'll have children and be happy.

Keep eating…

We'll forget everything that happened.

We'll heal.

We'll force ourselves to heal. Hmm?

You,

me, my mom,

and our companions here in the shelter.

We'll fight, okay?

- We'll fight. - We'll fight.

- We'll fight. - Yes!

I love you, Brenda.

Brenda, Hesus…

Take it easy, okay?

- Okay, thank you. - Let's eat!

Let's eat!

Go eat! Why aren't you eating?

Just eat, my god!

This is my favorite food!

Oh, pancit…

Eat some.

Here's the shanghai.

Here's pancit.

Thank you!

There...

What else do you want, Mommy?

Maybe you're hungry already…

How about some spring rolls?

Just keep eating, oh my God…

Time to eat!

- Dance! Dance! - Let's eat! Let's eat!

Let's eat! Let's eat!

Eat a lot, okay?
