[barking]

[Jacqueline]
On the island of Puerto Rico,

there are dozens
of poor little villages

drowsing in the tropic sun.

None is poorer or smaller or
drowsier than Esperanza.

Esperanza can't afford
a mayor.

But Father Dominic makes

whatever official
pronouncements are required,

which are always
quickly endorsed by the town council

who are also known
as Los Filosofos.

Or the 3 wise men.

Or the do-nothing club.

Nothing ever happens here

except for an occasional
baptism, funeral or wedding.

Tomorrow,
after 7 years as a widower,

Luis Armijo is marrying
Manuela Garcia.

Everyone in Esperanza
is excited.

And no one more
than Luis' son, Tonio.

Left out of all
the grown-up talk,

he decided to pick
a bouquet of wild flowers for Manuela.

And that's when it happened.

[exclaiming]

Hi. You kind of surprised me.

You playing hide-and-go-seek?

Oh, you've been picking
wild flowers.

Oh, they're beautiful.

For me? Oh, thanks.

Tonio.

Please, say it again.

Say what?

My name.

Tonio?

Well, listen,
I--I guess you saw that...

What I mean is...

I knew someday
you'd come out of the sky.

You did?

Papa said that
when you went away up to heaven,

you couldn't ever
come back to me.

But I knew you would, Mama.

Mama?

I've got to tell Papa
and Manuela and everybody.

Wait, Tonio!

Tonio,
I'm not your mother.

I--I didn't come
from heaven.

T-Tonio?

Hey, Tonio,
let's play.

I can't play,
my mother's back.

Your mother's back?
She came down from heaven.

What did the boy say?

That his mother
just came down from heaven.

Well, she picked
a nice day for it.

Papa! Papa!
She jumped out of the sky.

I was on the hill
when I saw her coming out of a cloud

just the way
I knew she would--

whoa, Tonio.

Who?
Who came out of the clouds?

Mama.

Well, Manuela has been here
with me all day.

She couldn't have been
up in the clouds. No, not Manuela.

My real mother.

Your mother?

My mother's
come back, Manuela, and she's beautiful.

Just like you said, Papa.

What are you saying, Tonio?
You should not be making up stories like this.

It isn't a story,
Papa, I saw her.

We talked.
She spoke my name.

I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.

Oh, be gentle,
Luis.

It isn't easy for Tonio,
the wedding and all--

she looks just like this.

She's wearing the same kind
of clothes and everything.

Tonio,
it isn't possible.

Maybe you stared
into the sun until you thought you saw her.

She's there.
Come see for yourself.

Son, today we don't
have time to go around

looking for people
who aren't there.

Please, Papa.

Luis, in an hour
we have to see Father Dominic

to sign the wedding papers.

If we leave now,
we can go with Tonio.

But why should
we be looking--

Luis.

All right, all right.

Hurry, Papa, hurry.

[exclaiming]

Oh, good morning,
Father Dominic.

Sister Bertrille.

Sister.

I guess you're surprised
to see me, huh?

Sister,

nothing you could do
would surprise me.

But please, this is a very
peaceful little town.

[stuttering]
You're not staying here, are you?

Oh, no. The reverend mother
just gave me permission to come over and apologize

for that little mix-up
in San Juan last month, when you were there.

Well, I really didn't
want to go to San Juan.

But my niece, she asked me
to baptize her first child.

What could I do?

But she did not warn me
that you were going to be the godmother.

I know I shouldn't
have taken the baby on the motorcycle

but I thought you were going
to baptize the wrong baby.

Motorcycle. Motorcycle.
I could have understood that.

But when you...

[birds chirping]

When you flew up
to the--the roof of the cathedral...

Well, I explained that.

Yes, sister, so you did.

But I'm not a young man.

I've led a sheltered life

and I...
Well, that's all right.

Everything is done now,
and everybody's happy.

My--my great-nephew
has been baptized.

My niece and her husband
have reconciled.

And you're here
for a very short visit, huh?

Oh, yes. You see,
you ran off in such a hurry that you forgot your pipe.

Oh.

Thank you, sister.
Thank you.

Thank you.
This--this is my favorite one.

And it was
very thoughtful of you to take such a long trip

and bring it to me again.

Of course, you...

[exclaiming]

Maybe somebody saw you?

Oh, no.

Just this little boy
on the hill

but he made it
part of some game he was playing.

But I don't understand,
Papa.

She was right there.

Tonio,
there was no one here.

There was, Papa.

She came right down
out of the sky.

And then we talked.

I gave her flowers.

Maybe you were dreaming.

I've dreamed
about Mama many times, but this was different.

I was awake
and she was here.

Tonio, I'm not going to--

Luis, un momentito.

Listen, Querido.

Maybe you feel because
I'm coming to stay with you,

take care of you

that--that I'm trying
to take your mother's place.

That isn't so.

I'm hoping that you can love
both of us.

I like you, Manuela.
Very much.

But don't you see?
Now that my mother's back,

she will look after
Papa and me.

And you won't
have to take care of us.

Enough of this
foolishness now. But, Papa--

you go home. I don't want
to hear any more of that.

Mama has come back
and I'll show you.

I'll find her,
then you'll see.

It will be fine, Manuela.

He loves you.

Of course he does.

It will be fine.

Hey, Tonio, catch.

I can't play, Pablo.
I've got to find my mother.

You don't have a mother.

Yes, I do.
She came down out of the sky.

Out of the sky?
This morning.

You're a liar.
I am not.

Out of the sky. Huh.
You hear?

His mother flies out
of the sky like a bird.

His mother's a bird.

[cawing]

Don't you say that
about my mother.

[Pablo]
Your mother's a bird! Your mother's a bird!

[Tonio]
Shut up about my mother!

My mother's no bird.

Hey, you guys! Hey!

Cut it out!

[Pablo]
Your mother's a bird.

She's no bird.

You should be ashamed
of yourself, fighting.

I'm sorry, but he said
a bad thing about you.

About me?

[Tonio]
And he called me a liar.

[Pablo]
You are a liar.

You did come out of the sky,
didn't you?

Well, I...

Tell him. Please?

Well, actually, fellas,
he is telling the truth.

She thinks she's a bird,
too.

Don't say that.

[Bertrille]
Hey, hey, now, Tonio. Hey!

Tonio,
it looks like I'm gonna have to take you home.

Yes, then Papa
and Manuela will believe me.

Tonio Armijo
thinks that the nun flew down from the sky.

That is strange.

Even more strange,
the nun thinks so, too.

Papa. Manuela.

They will be here soon.

Why don't you sit down
and rest, Mama?

Thank you, Tonio.

Before they do come back

there's something you and I
have to straighten out first.

Si, Mama?

Now, it's true,
you did see me come of the sky.

Just the way
I knew you would.

But because you wanted
to believe that--

sometimes when I looked up,
I thought I saw you.

But always before,
it was just a cloud.

Tonio,
do you know what a nun is?

You've never seen a nun?

Well,
this is a nun's habit.

I knew you'd be dressed
all in white,

like in the picture.

This is your mother?

Si. It is you.

Tonio,

now you've got to listen
to me.

Yes, Mama.

I know how much
you must have missed your mother

and honestly, I wouldn't do
anything to hurt you.

Go on, Mama,
I don't mind.

I've heard Pablo's Mama
say that to him

and then after,
she hugs him and kisses him.

Tonio.

Please don't cry.

We should be happy.

I've never been so happy.

[exclaiming]

Look at your hands.

Why, they're a disgrace.

And your face
is all smudged.

I will wash them,
Mama,

and then you can
scrub behind my ears.

You know, sometimes
children who have lost their mothers,

they have such ideas.

But I will
say a word to Tonio.

Oh, hi.
You must be Tonio's father.

Who are you?

I'm Sister Bertrille.

You look like...
I know.

Tonio thinks I'm his mother.

You haven't told him
who you really are?

Shh.

Why haven't you told him?

I wanted to.

I--I should have.
I just couldn't.

Well, why not?

Well, it seems
to mean so much to him to know his mother loves him

the same way
he's loved her all these years.

I couldn't find
the right way to take away

something so precious
to him.

Yes,
but his mother is dead.

After tomorrow,
Manuela will be his mother.

I didn't realize.

Oh, this has gone too far.

I'm gonna set
Tonio straight. Luis, no.

Well, what do you mean, no?
Tonio can't go on thinking

she's his mother.
She's a nun.

But she's right.

What Tonio feels
about his mother is very precious to him.

You must take the time,
Luis,

to find the right way
to tell him

or this can be a hurt
that he will carry all his life.

Don't you think so,
father?

We must slowly try to do
what is best for the boy.

Yeah,
but what about the wedding?

What about us?

What's best for Tonio
is best for us.

Manuela, wait.

Sister, why didn't you
mail me my pipe?

Would you like
some more tea, father?

Mmm-mmm. No, no,
thank you.

I've just got to find a way
to tell Tonio the truth.

The truth?

You're going to tell him
that you're a nun

from convent San Tanco?

That you fly
like an airplane?

Well, then,
Tonio will tell this to the people of Esperanza.

All of them?

Yes, sister.
The whole town will know.

And then the news will travel
to the next town,

and the next.

No, sister.
I'm afraid you have to...

You have to find
some other way to help Tonio.

Father, will you please
talk to Manuela?

All of a sudden,
she decided we should not get married tomorrow

because of this idea
that Tonio has.

She won't even listen
to me anymore.

All right, I will try
to reason with her.

But why something like this
should happen now?

We'll work it out.
Thank you very much, sister.

I thought that nuns
went around helping people.

I'm sorry.

Why are women
so complicated?

Look, I love Manuela,
and Manuela loves me.

Tonio needs a mother
and I need a wife.

Manuela wants a husband,
so...

So we're not
getting married.

I don't understand it.

Papa. Papa, Mama.

Tonio.

See, Papa, I told you
Mama had come back,

and she's just like
you said.

Tonio, if you--
you haven't had your lunch, have you, Señor Armijo?

I don't want any lunch--
I can fix you some.

I can fix my own lunch.

No, Papa.
That's Mama's job, and I will help her.

Come on, Mama.

Would you like anything else,
Señor Armijo?

No, thank you.

[doorbell ringing]
I'll get it.

No, I'll get it.

Mama, why do you call Papa
"Señor Armijo"?

Shouldn't you call him
by his first name?

Well, it's just that, uh,

I want to show
how much respect I have for him.

Yeah.

So, our wedding gift
isn't good enough for the great Luis Armijo.

Wedding gift?
What wedding gift?

In better times,
men would have fought duels for less.

Julio,
what are you talking about? This.

And you weren't man enough
to insult us in person.

You sent your boy
to fling our gifts in our faces.

My boy?

Your boy.

Julio, wait a minute.
Tonio!

Si, Papa.

Tonio, did you take back
this wedding gift to Señor Reyes?

Si, Papa.
I took all the presents back.

All of them?

I thought
you might want me to,

since there isn't going
to be a wedding.

Luis, you're not going
to marry Manuela?

Of course I...
What are you--

Mama's back. Mama.

Tonio, no.

See?

[speaking Spanish]

Tonio, what are you...

Julio, wait.

Tonio says it's his mother.
You ready for that?

Returned our wedding gifts
when there's no wedding.

[speaking Spanish]

Will you go please
go somewhere?

Do something.

I'm gonna try to explain
to my friends,

then I'm going
to go to my shop.

I'm going to hammer
and saw and glue

and try to understand
what's happening to me.

[mumbling]

Thank you, Mama.

Now I want to buy you
something.

Oh, no, Tonio,

I don't want you
to waste your money on anything for me.

But Pablo
and the other boys

buy presents
for their mothers.

Perhaps--
please, Mama.

Ok.
You wait here so it'll be a surprise.

Good afternoon,
sister.

Good afternoon.

You are a nun?

Yes, I'm a novice
at the convent San Tanco.

Here, Mama.

I did not let
senora chapa wrap them,

because I want you
to wear them.

Earrings.

Don't you like them,
Mama?

Oh, they're...
I've never had a nicer present.

Aren't you going
to put them on?

Please, Mama?

You look beautiful.

Let's go show Papa.

Oh,
if that little novice

is ever going
to become a nun,

she will have to try
very, very much harder.

Oh, hello, father.
Where's Papa?

Your father's at the shop.

[stuttering]
Sister, what...

Oh.

Earrings.
Tonio gave them to me.

Aren't they pretty,
father?

Ah, yes.
Very interesting.

Now, Tonio,
I would like a word with the lady, alone, eh?

Si, father.

Sister, the...

Oh, yeah.

Manuela is leaving.

Leaving Esperanza?

Yes. She's packing to catch
the 3:30 bus to San Juan.

But that's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous.

And it's all my fault.
Father, we can't let her go.

I couldn't stop her.
But I will.

I'm afraid
you won't change her mind, sister.

It's for the best,
sister.

But how could anything
that separates 3 people

that love each other
be for the best?

Oh, I should have never
come to Esperanza.

No, you mustn't
blame yourself.

It isn't anything you've done
that makes me know

I--I cannot stay.

It's Tonio's feeling
for his mother.

But you must have
always known how he felt.

Well, I've known.

But, sister, aren't we all
a little bit like Tonio?

When we want something
so very much,

we make it happen.

He brought his mother
back in you.

I thought he was ready
to accept me.

Once or twice,

he seemed
to reach out to me.

And he will again.

Oh, Manuela,
he knows you love him.

I do love him

and I never wanted
to take his mother's place.

All I ever asked

was to be a mother to him,
in my own way.

And you can be.

No, I don't believe that,
sister.

Not now.

Today, I saw the truth.

There will never be room
for me in Tonio's heart.

But you're wrong.

There's all the room
in the world.

Why, he reached out
to you before, and he will again.

Only you won't be here.
You'll be in San Juan.

[bus engine starting]

Oh, Manuela, I think
I can prove you're wrong. Will you let me try?

[bus horn honking]

The bus is leaving.

Manuela,

don't you want
to know the truth?

[birds chirping]

Why did you
bring me here, Mama?

Well, Tonio,
I'll tell you.

I wanted to be alone
with you.

You see,

Tonio, the time has
come to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Yes.

I-I'm sorry.
I have to go.

I've already stayed longer
than I was supposed to.

When will you be back?

I can never come back.

You don't want
to be my Mama anymore?

It's not that.

It's just-- it's just
that I don't belong here.

What do you mean, Mama?

You have your Papa
and Manuela.

Manuela is nice,

very nice,
but she's not my mother.

But, Tonio,

in her own way,
she loves you as much as any mother could.

No, Mama, please.
Don't leave me.

I have to.

Why did you
come back at all?

Well,
it was meant to be.

You see, Tonio,

when a mother can't take care
of her little boy anymore,

she needs to know
he has someone else

who loves him
and looks after him.

And you do, Tonio.

I won't be able
to keep these earrings.

Thank you
for giving them to me.

Goodbye.

I leave you
with my love.

Tonio.

Tonio.

Mama.

Oh, Tonio.
