"Who would be born must first destroy a world." - Herman Hesse

Mom?

Are you happy?

I don't know.

Where you ever?

I guess.

Did you ever think about us moving to the city?

When you were little.

But it was just a dream.

What about you?

What about me?

Are you happy?

What is this?

Temo just got his hands on a new gun in Laredo.

Wanna see it?

Next time we come with Temo, you can join us.

We're going to Monterrey next weekend. Will you join us?

That would be cool.

What are you guys doing?

Temo has some business stuff to do.

Look.

This is an AK47 rifle with automatic slide fire.

You put the cartridge here.

It's light and easy to use.

Here.

It's really cool.

Wanna shoot?

Just be careful, man.

Holy shit! I hit it, man!

-Man, that's so cool! -I hit it, man!

-So cool. -Let's see it.

Looks like my aim is not as good as yours.

I want to go.

If dad was here...

That asshole...

The only things he left you was his last name

and that awful bike he couldn't take.

That wasn't a gift.

When did he last call you?

Does he send you money?

No way, boy. You're old enough to notice those things.

Alex?

Be responsible and don't do anything stupid.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear me?

Yes, I did.

How do I look?

Like a whore.

Alex, please report to the general office.

The sun goes down and this place goes pitch dark.

Do you like this darkness or would you prefer to live in the city?

I like the darkness.

What about you, Alex?

Both.

But they say you can't see the stars in the city, so...

I think I prefer the darkness.

I used to have a nightmare that made me scream while I slept

and someone had to wake me up like "Temo! It's just a dream! Wake up!"

Does it still happen?

No, I sleep like a baby now.

But my mom woke me up once because my screams scared her.

My first reaction was to punch her right in the face.

What did she say?

Nothing, but she's in a coma because of me,

and she stays that way, all because of a stupid dream.

-Sorry, Temo. I didn't know. -No, it's a joke!

Dammit!

It was true, except that my mom didn't end in a coma.

She just bled from the nose and read her Bible until she fell asleep.

It reminds me of when I was seven.

My mom told me I wet the bed because I'd been stillborn.

I was born in a bad position or asphyxiated or whatever.

You're not messing with me, right?

No.

Some moments later I reacted or whatever, I don't know.

Maybe it's because in the past,

if babies didn't cry immediately, people used to think they were dead.

Besides...

I was born at home, you know?

Man, that's crazy.

Did you ever find out if you were actually stillborn?

Look, Alex.

This is one of the offices from my business.

We call it "The Little House".

It does look more like a house than an office.

That's the idea.

Sorry, man, I couldn't tell you about it.

I didn't think you'd bother, considering it's Temo.

I just run the numbers.

Listen, Alex, I offered you this just to help you out.

If you don't want in, no problem.

Just keep discretion, okay?

I'll be right back.

Here.

Temo...

Party! Party! Party!

Candy flip!

Who do you think you are?

Huh?

-Who do you think you are? -Mom, please...

Mom.

You'll see.

-Mom, stop. -Yeah?

-Mom! -Who do you think you are?

Mom, stop!

-Hi, Temo. -Hi, Violeta.

Hi, Capper.

Alex!

You're right, it sucks.

When I was younger I felt like...

...like I deserved everything.

Now I feel like I deserve nothing.

I'm young and I don't think I deserve anything.

Hey, Temo.

Can you drive me to my work? I think it's getting late.

-Sure, we'll leave you there. -Yes?

Okay, we won't take up any more of your time.

Let's go, Capper.

I'll stay a bit longer.

See you later.

Let's go, Violeta.

Let's go. Thanks.

Hey, look

- No way. - What about this one?

- Just throw it that way. - Okay.

Alex?

-You were right. -Did anything happen?

I'm interested.

Stop, man!

Stop! Stop it, man!

That's how I like it.

I never thought I'd get paid in dollars.

Yes.

I don't know. We had no calls yesterday.

No.

I'll check it out in a second, Temo.

Yes, I'll stay here.

No.

Yes.

Only yesterday.

No.

-What's wrong with you? -Calm down, Alex!

Calm down, let's talk.

Alex!

Calm down, man!

What the hell, Alex!

Look what you've done, you animal!

I can't stand living with you anymore!

Is that why you treat me like shit?

I'm sick of living in this shithole.

That's why my dad left us!

I hate you!

Leave him alone, Alex!

Get out!

What's wrong with you?!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

You're a murderer!

And you're a damn whore.

It's almost morning.

Mom?

Are you happy?

I don't know.

Were you ever?

I guess.

Did you ever think about us moving to the city?

When you were little.

But it was just a dream.

What about you?

What about me?

Are you happy?

So, what should we do?

We'll bury him on the hill.

I'll take care of that.

I'll help you.

We'll be alright.

You'll see.

-I wanted to give you this. -No, son.

No one will find him here.

What happened, Alex?

Alex?

HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY
