THE MAGIC HOUR

Once upon a time,
there was a little girl who had

a wonderful uncle.

You are such a jerk, John!

I am not a little girl!

John, we had our beautiful moments,
like in fairy tales.

But I don't like happy endings.

Goodbye, Minerva.

Coming, coming!

- I'm Trinidad and this is Fede.
- Hello, Trinidad.

- What happened to you?
- That's none of your business.

Come on. Get out of here.

- Good afternoon.
- How are you?

I would like a single room
for one or two nights.

Sign here.

You look very tired, Ma'am.

- What's wrong?
- I'm afraid of lightning.

- What's this?
- This?

It's like a typewriter.

Oh, you're a secretary.

- Is this you? And this?
- That's a man.

Yes, I know.
But why is his face crossed out?

Because... that man is my dad.

And I punished him.

- And him?
- That's... my uncle Alberto.

An angel who told me stories.

My dad says that stories
are all lies.

- Then I must be a liar.
- Tell us a story.

Once upon a time,

in a very remote place in the world,

there was a lighthouse

up on a very high mountain.

- And there lived a little girl.
- A little girl like me?

A little girl under the spell
of the King of Darkness.

He had turned her into a mermaid.

What are you doing here?
Who invited you? Now! Go to bed!

You know what?
I would like to be a mermaid.

Mermaid... Go! Go!

Of course.

How come I never thought of it?

Once upon a time, there was
a little girl called Minerva.

"Uncle Alberto, come to save me.
Minerva, the enchanted mermaid."

NO TRESPASSING

The human body is composed of...

Head, trunk and limbs.

Good morning, Mother Superior.

Thank you.

Today you are going back home
for your vacation.

During this season
our soul is filled with joy.

For we mustn't forget that
several years ago,

a boy was born in Nazareth.

- Who?
- Baby Jesus Christ.

Son of our Holy Father.

- Why did He come to this world?
- To deliver us from sin.

And to give us vacation.

Silence! Silence!

Let us pray.

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

Our Father, who art in Heaven...

Goodbye. Don't get into trouble!

Grandma Odilia, Grandma!

- Grandma, Grandma!
- Darling girl.

BOARDING SCHOOL Sacred Heart.

Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!

Turkey! What a crazy idea,
with so much fish in the sea.

Oh, come on, stop complaining.

Hey, you're not going to wear
a clean shirt even for New Year's?

Listen! It's the shrimp boats
announcing the New Year.

Grandma, one kiss
for every year in this century.

Don't move!

And you, Pancho. Stop thinking about
work. Stop thinking about your boat.

Oh! My Penelope, where were you?

New year, new life.

Get that stupid cat off the table!

Leave her alone! Be nice to her
at least once a year.

Behave yourself.
You are going to eat everything.

I told you. I told you not to...

Leave her alone, Francisco!
Leave her alone!

It wasn't on purpose!
Don't take it out on her!

You're in boarding school so the nuns
can educate you and beat you!

- It wasn't on purpose, Grandma.
- I know, my dear.

Hello, princess.

Hello, Uncle.

Oh, how beautiful!

- I brought you a lot of gifts.
- Come on, show them to me now! Now!

No. Tomorrow.
Because tomorrow is another day!

Surprise!

Oh, how nice!

This record-player
doesn't need electricity.

It runs on batteries.

And this record, see?
You can bend it.

These ones are no good.

They are old and stiff,
like your dad.

Talk to me about love, Mariu.

Talk to me about love, Mariu.

What are you doing here?

You see,
the prodigal brother is back.

Holy Mother! Won't you give me
your blessing?

You see, I'm back alive and kicking.
We docked today.

It's time
for misunderstandings to be over.

I can't allow anything
to stand between us

and least of all,
people's gossip.

Come on, Beta. Come here, Pancho.

Your father, may he rest in peace,
and he's looking at us from heaven,

blesses this moment.

Well. I'll make up your room,
so you can sleep there.

Who is Minerva?

The woman who turned into an owl
when she died.

Tell me, Uncle.

What was my mom like?

Fatima, your mother,

was a woman
made of foam from the sea.

- And why did she die?
- No, she is not dead.

She turned into an owl, like Minerva.

It's time to sleep now.

Tomorrow, in our secret place,
you will find another gift.

Little stem, little stem.

Little stem of nard, cut at dawn.

Wake up, Uncle.

Come on, come on. Don't be lazy.

There's nothing here!
And the gift?

We need some matches,

lemon juice and a pen.

Lemon juice, the pen
and the matches.

Can you light it?

Don't blow it out.

Hello, princess.

Magic!

What job? You don't have enough
to support yourself.

I didn't do well, Mother.

But everything will be OK,
I promise.

To buy so many gifts for Minerva
and be left without money.

You've got to be stupid!

There is something I don't like.
I saw bruises on Minerva's thighs.

What's wrong with my brother?
Is he out of his mind?

It's OK that he's hurt
about Fatima, but...

You know that woman's name
is forbidden in this house.

And, by the way, I've been told
several bad things about you.

Things about bets, about women.

- I hope it's only gossip.
- You said it yourself, Mother.

Pure gossip and envy. Am I to blame?

You made me so handsome
that all the ladies love me.

Silly you!

- Let me see, let's see.
- Wait, wait, I'll give it to you.

Let's go to the beach, Uncle.

- Let's go.
- Oh, yes, yes. Right. To the beach.

Greece and Sorrento,
a beautiful, beautiful place.

It's got waterfalls,
mountains covered with snow...

No kidding, just gorgeous.

- The light from the lighthouse.
- No, no, don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.
He won't hurt you.

We were 20 and 20 returned.

Go away now, stupid lunatic.

- Why is he crazy?
- I don't know.

We were 20 and 20 returned.

The light from the lighthouse.

I would like your flowers
Your floral scent.

To perfume my love.

Uncle, Uncle! The lighthouse!

- Tell me the story.
- What story?

Yes. About the lighthouse that turns
into a Cyclops and the mermaid.

Tomorrow.

Always tomorrow, always tomorrow.

Because tomorrow is another day.

Balloon, balloon, balloon.
I want a balloon.

Sir! Oh, no!
I'd rather have an ice cream.

Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream!

- I'll get that for the pretty lady.
- Thank you.

I'll have vanilla.

Here you go.

- You are not from here, are you?
- You got me there.

Such a beautiful flower
will always stand out.

All say the same at first,
but then...

Me? Never.

I'm a poet and
my voice, a song of roses.

I'm Minerva the enchanted mermaid.

Hello, I'm Martha.

Come on, Minerva.
Go watch the sunset.

Go and see how beautiful it is.
Do you want to make a wish?

Yes!

- Where did you say you are from?
- Me?

I'm tired!
You're annoying me again!

You've made my life bitter!
But it's over!

- He's going to kill himself.
- Well, let him do it.

- Beautiful sunset.
- No, no, don't get close to me.

Don't think I care about you,
you piece of shit.

But don't jump right now. My hat is
more important than your sorry ass.

One less person,
who the hell cares?

What's more, I can give you a hand
with a little push.

Let's count to three and say goodbye
to this damn world.

One, two, three.

No!

Uncle!

Uncle.

The sparrow hawk took my chick.

The chick I love the most.

Bartender, give me another drink.

Without my chick, I will die.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow.

Are you really leaving? Or is this
a story of the imaginary traveler?

If you don't believe me,
then why do you ask?

They told me
they only saw you at the docks.

And you told traveling stories
to my mom and Minerva...

Maybe it's my ghost
roaming about Mazatlan.

And speaking of ghosts
and stupid mental games,

I don't like you putting ideas
into Minerva's head.

You know the difference
between Ulysses and you?

I don't know any Ulysses.

The two of you are seamen,
but Ulysses defeated the mermaids.

- What are you trying to say?
- Nothing, Brother.

You just said it,
stupid mental games.

What do you want now?

I disagree about you going to
boarding school.

Those are your father's ideas.
You know what he's like.

I promised you would learn
the big secret soon.

Then our lives will change.

- You are going to live with me.
- I don't want to go back to school.

I don't want to stay with my dad,
either. He's a jerk!

Good! We agree on that!
But I'll be back soon.

- You're going with Martha, right?
- No. Not at all.

It's work. I'll go to San Francisco.
I'll bring you lots of gifts.

- Let's see, who's Minerva?
- An idiot that believes everything!

It's time for you to know
the big secret!

We have to evacuate.
The dam just broke.

Don't just stare at me. Come on!
Let's go! Let's go!

Wait, wait. Wait a second, Ma'am.

- What's going on?
- Don't get yourself wet.

There you go. To the trucks.
Come on! Come on! Quick!

Around and around
Saint Michael's round.

We all have some honey Now stop.

- Idiot!
- You are an idiot!

- Let's see, the one who spits first.
- Kill her with your magic ring.

- Let go!
- Come here.

I'm not scared. I'm not scared.

- I'm not scared. I'm not scared.
- Come on! Shut up already!

Captain Saenz
is going to rescue me.

Can you stop speaking nonsense?

Captain Saenz is my secret lover.

He kisses me every night
and breaks my spell.

Well, he made a mistake
and turned you into a frog.

Tonight is a full moon
and he will come.

Well, I guess all you do
is read cheesy novels.

Save me, Uncle Alberto.

Wow! if you teach me how to do it,
I'll give you my magic ring.

You give me the ring
and shut your mouth.

The moon is a big cheese.

That the naughty mouse
Will devour tonight.

Look, it's lemon juice.

When you write, you can't see the
letters. But with fire... Surprise!

"And they say that
from that time onwards,

King Midas turned
everything he touched into gold."

May Captain Saenz rescue us!

The moon is a big cheese.

That the naughty mouse
Will devour tonight.

The sky is the pantry.

Where Mom's things are kept.

Look, Minerva! Look! Look!

It's Captain Saenz.

- Ugh, yuck!
- The last one's a silly goose!

"The Unfaithful Lover.

Chapter four. Brigitte was slowly
undressed by her lover,

the Lieutenant of the Fifth Calvary,
Francoise Saenz.

Brigitte felt her whole body tremble.

As the lieutenant's hand
ran through every inch

of her shaking body, she was
filled with emotion and pleasure.

Her eyes watched as Francoise

took off the uniform that he had worn
in a thousand battles,

while the light coming through
the window traced his silhouette.

Then, she felt the lieutenant's hand
sweetly move down her stomach,

"until he reached her noble areas."

- What does "noble areas" mean?
- You are ignorant.

The noble areas...

The noble areas are the soft parts
of the body, like the thighs.

The last one's a silly goose!

I forgot to hide the book, Minerva.
I'm sorry.

You may leave now, Sister Fabiola.

Come closer, Minerva. Come closer.

Have a seat.

If you tell me which of your friends
have been reading this rubbish,

making their souls dirty
and making our Lord Jesus Christ cry,

I will make your punishment slight.

Don't you feel bad that
your father had to come here?

He's got so many worries already.

Very good.
If that's the way you want it...

You are an animal.

Damned at birth.

Animal. You were damned at birth.

Why have you been
disobedient again?

You've been punished
several times already.

Although I don't agree
with these methods.

How can I explain it,
Sister Fabiola? I'm in love.

- And may I know who the lucky one is?
- Captain Saenz. And he'll rescue me.

Although we do know your true love:
the man that visits you every day.

- I swear nobody will know.
- Don't go around swearing.

Don't worry. We women
know how to keep a secret.

You shouldn't go around
telling anyone, eh?

Well, well. Let's go to sleep now
and say your prayers.

Tomorrow is another day.

"The town, tired of the rats
that had invaded the city,

decided to hire the famous
Pied Piper of Hamelin.

With his magic flute, he led
the spellbound rats to the river.

And they drowned, one by one."

What are you doing?

You know, years ago I saw a mermaid.

Yes. Believe me.
It was a real mermaid, very real.

I was on my boat,
on the way to Guaymas.

When, suddenly,
I heard her call me from behind.

"Francisco. Francisco."

- Mermaids don't talk.
- Well, I didn't know.

I didn't want to believe
that either, but...

Oh well, another day
I'll finish my story.

What a liar.

Slow down, my dear.
You're going to kill me.

- Hurry up, Grandma.
- The light from the lighthouse.

- We were 20 and 20 returned.
- Shut up, stupid lunatic.

What kind of language is that?
I'll wash out your mouth with soap.

The light from the lighthouse.
We were 20 and 20 returned.

The light from the lighthouse.

- Goodbye, Son!
- Best of luck! Goodbye!

I hope the boat sinks.
I hope the boat sinks.

Oh, it's so hot.

The August heat
is already rolling in.

Move that out of the way.

Listen, Grandma. What's death like?

- What are you talking about?
- Yes. When somebody dies like my mom.

Is death the same as in books?

Stop now.
You're making me nervous.

Death is going along the roads.

Taking away lives.

What's gotten into you?

My uncle said that when my mom
had the accident on the highway,

Dad asked for her ashes
to be scattered into the sea.

Yes. It was something terrible.
Something we must forget.

Yes, yes, I know why Dad
is always sad and angry.

That's why
there are no photos of Mom.

When I die, I also want my ashes
scattered into the sea.

If you continue talking like that,

I will spank you,
so you can go to bed warm.

Fish! Fresh fish!

Fish, fruit.

Close your eyes. Don't you open them!

No.

Now open your eyes.
What do you think?

You feed the pages in here and you
write with your fingers on the keys.

You see? It's very easy.

Everybody can learn how to write,
but not everybody can be a writer.

You will be the best one.

The beans will get burnt.
It's that weird thing you gave me!

It's the pressure-cooker, Mother.

Did you know that mermaids have
always wanted a mortal soul?

Let me tell you, that
according to an old story

there was a man, a seaman,
who was madly in love with a mermaid.

And she was also
in love with him.

In a love pact, he took away her
scales with a knife. Slowly, like so.

And he made her human.
So then he married her.

For many years, they lived happily,
surrounded by several children.

Until one day, the youngest daughter

discovered the place where the father
hid the mermaid's tail.

And she told her mother.

Without thinking about her family,
she was overcome by nostalgia.

She put her mermaid's skin on
and returned to the sea.

Before disappearing into the deep
waters, tears rolled down her cheeks.

And when they fell on the ground,
they turned into shingles.

This is why shingles are also called
mermaid's tears.

And this is where our story ends.

Why did she abandon her children
if she loved them?

Um, smart question.

Because mermaids love their freedom
above all!

Tomorrow you'll understand it better
when I tell you the big secret.

- You'll find it in our secret place.
- Little stem of nard cut at dawn.

Swear it, because
I don't believe you anymore.

Beto, stop telling her
silly stories. Let's have tea.

- Tomorrow.
- Let's see.

Yes, it's all set. Tomorrow, Minerva
and I will meet you in Culiacan.

Yes, of course I love you.

You can't continue like this,
from one place to the next,

without a job or money.

Since your father died, I... I...

You should follow the example
of your brother Pancho.

Oh, Mom. My little brother
and his world are very boring.

Once again, I've heard
terrible things about you.

Everything will change, Mom.
Believe me.

I'm going to change. I promise.

Oh, come on, stop that!
You smoke like a chimney!

There are puppets, magic,
exotic women, felines...

- Come, Mazatlan!
- The gypsies are here!

- The gypsies are here!
- The last one's a silly goose!

Come to the theater
of the Great Sabatini.

Come to us! Come!

Come! Come everybody! Come to us!

The Great Sabatini!
Hey, you. Greet the people.

Come! Come see the fantastic puppets
of the Great Sabatini!

Welcome to the magic theater
of the Great Sabatini!

We are touring the five continents.
Rolando, the world's smallest dwarf!

The sensuous Sarah!

The beautiful Antartida!

Circe, the fortune-teller
who tells the future.

And me, the Great Sabatini,
bringing children and grown-ups,

grown-ups and children,
the most marvelous show

you've ever seen.
The curtain is now open!

Sarah, you and I
will go around the world.

Uncle, Uncle! Wake up! Wake up!

We're going with the gypsies.
We'll be late!

- What gypsies?
- Oh, Uncle. The gypsies, Uncle.

Yes, yes. You, Sarah and I

doing shows
with the magic puppets, huh?

- What do you say?
- Yes, yes.

But first we have to,
well, you know...

Make the gypsy fall in love,
send her love letters.

One thing, though, all in secret. OK?

Alberto, hello?

Someone is playing prank calls.
Don't answer the phone.

You scared me.

Move over.
We're going to lie down for a while.

If you touch them, they come to life.

Don't be afraid of me.

Do you believe gypsies
steal children?

I'm not afraid of anything.

If you aren't afraid of anything
then you're a gypsy, like us.

Yes.

Oh, I almost forgot.

It didn't come to life.

You have to make the puppets
yourself, with your own hands.

So they come to life.

Those beans smell delicious.

Mom, I need to speak to you.

First, sit down to eat,
like decent people do.

- How pretty. Did you make it?
- Yes.

Mm, it looks good.

Get your dirty stuff off the table.
Dinner is ready.

I've told you a thousand times
and you never obey me.

- Who's Minerva?
- Again with that broken record.

- When are we leaving?
- Tomorrow, tomorrow.

Mom. I'm going to be late, Mom.
Please.

You'd better be careful. You know
what they say about the gypsies.

- The gypsies don't steal children.
- What do you know, child?

Thank you, Mom.

- Don't come back late!
- It'll be just until tomorrow.

- I've got my suitcase ready.
- Yes, tomorrow, tomorrow.

Because tomorrow we are leaving.

Goodbye.

- That's my rooster!
- Hit it hard!

There you go! There you go!

That's my rooster!

Talk to me about love, Mariu.

You are my everything.

Talk to me about love...

We're the mermaids and we want to
capture you for ever, Ulysses.

Come!

The mermaids sang wonderful songs

that attracted the sailors
so they could capture them.

When are we leaving?

We want to capture you forever,
Ulysses. Come!

- What happened?
- He found her dead on the beach.

They raped her. It was the gypsies.
Martha! Martha!

They killed your daughter, Martha!

Get him! Get him!

There he is. Go get him!

- What's going on?
- It's you we want.

I didn't do anything.

Minerva! I didn't do anything!
I swear! I swear!

I didn't do anything!

Let's get out of here.

Our Father who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy Name...
on earth as it is in Heaven.

With this one,
we're going to buy his freedom.

- We won!
- One moment, sir.

These dice are loaded.

- I will take your eyes out!
- Just try!

- The light from the lighthouse.
- Uncle! Alberto! Come, wait for me!

- The light from the lighthouse.
- Wait for me! Uncle, Uncle, Uncle!

- We were 20 and 20 returned.
- Alberto, Alberto! Uncle Alberto!

Uncle, you deceived me!
You deceived me again!

Uncle.

Fatima?

Fatima is dead, Dad.

I'm sorry.

When I saw you in the darkness
I thought...

How are you?

- I saw your friend the other day.
- Beatriz?

She came by.

She says she's living in
the same place, at her mom's.

She got divorced.

- I don't understand that.
- You never understand anything.

Anything at all.

Why did you come here?

You are nervous, upset.

You don't change.

And you? You live in a pigsty.

You left when you were 15.

You said you'd travel the world.

Grow.

Write novels.

Nothing. Shit.

Shit is what you have in your head.

PACIFIC HIGH SCHOOL

She must purify her soul,

by means of acts of contrition.

But this is something natural.

Consecrating her soul to God
will help her be a woman,

and to better understand
the Divine nature.

Three days of fasting
will be good for her.

I don't want you to hit me. No, no.

"The mermaid had lost hope.
'Save me, save me!' she yelled.

But the sky had no more stars,

and nobody could hear her.
The lighthouse..."

- Please, where are you going?
- What a beautiful dress.

- Go back to bed.
- We know everything.

- You are pregnant, aren't you?
- Who told you that?

We saw you kissing a man
the other night. Right, Beatriz?

Beatriz says that if they kiss you
five times you get pregnant.

And I saw him kiss you
about ten times.

Remember that God is Love.

Captain Saenz.

How may I help you?

Have I changed so much?

Minerva?

Here, take, Jorge.

Don't take his shirt off,
he's got a bad cold.

So you see. Here I am,
surrounded with children.

And in same place
I was half a century ago, you see.

Enough!

How come Lieutenant Saenz
never came to rescue you?

You fool.

So, well, how do I look?

The truth or a little white lie?

Oh, let's leave it at that.
Here, help yourself.

You look beautiful.

It's been so many years since
that terrible thing happened.

What terrible thing
that happened?

Have you really forgotten it?

Of course I remember.

Of course I ran away,
but I also grew, I lived.

I cohabited many times.

And I returned.
And here I am.

Why does everybody take pity on me?

No, I don't.

You know who I saw in Guadalajara?
Sister Fabiola.

She's got children.
She asked about you.

That's wonderful!

And Mother Superior?

I hope that woman died of something
terrible, like cancer of the uterus.

Oh, that's horrible.

- Are you living with your dad?
- Just temporarily.

Do you know what you should do?

You should clean up that place.
It's a pigsty.

Tomorrow I'll help you clean. Then we
can get an ice cream, catch a movie.

And then we can get drunk.

When did you say you were leaving?

What's the hurry?

It's just something to say.

I'm just trying to make conversation.

To travel down from the United States
to here, by car...

Oh well, you've never been all there.

Look who's talking:
the family's sane guy.

You've been complaining
ever since I can remember.

What's wrong with complaining?
Damn it!

Stop that!

There's always something bad
about everything.

You are full of resentment.

There's something stuck inside
of you and I don't know what it is!

What has life done to you for you
to hate the world? To hate me?

You're a brat.
You don't know what you're saying.

I'm not a little girl.
Don't call me that!

- I give orders, I don't take them!
- Is that what you want to be?

The universe's "Organizer"? The one
who says what's wrong or right?

Don't ever talk to me like that!
I forbid you, understood?

Let go of me!

Enough!

Don't you ever
lay a hand on me again!

Enough! Enough!

It's over! Enough! Enough!

I'm coming!

- Well, let's get down to it.
- Just look at this mess.

It looks like
it's been a hundred years.

Oh, no! Are we that old?

My goodness.

- How did you get in here?
- What do you mean? Through the door.

- Was it open?
- Uh-huh.

What a mess. You can't save this
even if we take it to the cleaners.

Look. Use this to clean the dust.

This goes to the trash.

To Minerva.

Dear Minerva, remember! told you
one day you'd know my big secret?

Now is the time
to uncover all the mysteries.

I had a great love. The greatest love
that a human being has ever had.

But it was a forbidden love.
Her name was Fatima.

She was made of foam from the sea.

You were born of our hugs,
kisses and caresses.

The true fruit of our love.

The day! decided
to tell you the whole truth,

so that Fatima,
you and I could leave together,

was the same damned day
the gypsies arrived in the port.

And then, the unexpected happened.

Months later came the carnival
and I arrived with it.

I was ready to fulfill the promise
of taking you with me.

You, Fatima and!
Traveling around the world.

I only needed to play
one last time.

Yeah!

Full house.

Hold on a moment.

There's still a lot of cash to bet.

You deal.

Penelope.

Penelope.

Uncle Alberto.

How are you, my princess?

This time
I couldn't bring you any gift.

I don't want gifts.

Then give me a kiss.

And the princess
breaks the prince's spell.

Sabatini, the gypsy,
didn't kill the girl.

The real murderer
confessed everything.

Don't ever expect justice
in this world.

I don't want to grow up.
I don't want to grow up.

We'll go to live in the country
of Forever and Ever.

Eat something, Son.
It'll make you feel better.

It's fish soup.

Have some.

- Uncle Be. We'll give you a show.
- Ulysses and the mermaids.

The mermaids sang wonderful songs
to capture the sailors.

Then, they would drive the men crazy
with their songs.

And they would jump into the ocean
to be devoured by the fish women.

But then, Ulysses challenged
the mermaids.

He asked his sailors
to plug their ears with wax.

And he asked them
to tie him to the ship's mast.

Close that window! Close it!

Get out of here! Get out!

Uncle. Uncle.

Uncle. Uncle!

I'm afraid, Uncle.

I love you.

Don't come in here again.
I forbid it.

"He did not wear his scarlet coat,
For blood and wine are red,

And blood and wine were on his hands,

When they found him with the dead,

The poor dead woman he loved,
And murdered in her bed.

In the Reading gaol by Reading town.

There is a pit of shame,

And in it lies a wretched man,
Eaten by teeth of flame,

In burning winding-sheet he lies,
And his grave has no name.

And there, till Christ calls forth
The dead, in silence let him lie:

No need to waste the foolish tear,
Or heave the windy sigh:

That man had killed
the thing he loved.

And so he had to die.

Yet each man kills the thing
He loves. By all let this be heard.

Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.

The coward does it with a kiss,

"The brave man with a sword!"

No!

I may seem a coward,
my dear Minerva,

but! have no strength
left to live anymore.

Fury has already judged me.

And God
has already given his verdict.

NO TRESPASSING

Minerva?

Minerva! Minerva!

- Minerva! Don't hide!
- Where are you, Minerva?

Mother Superior! Mother Superior!
Minerva is over there!

Please, come with me.

Minerva, what's wrong?

It was all a lie.

Why didn't you tell me?

This is something between her and me.

We will soon settle it in hell.

Her father, the old fisherman,
died that day.

Miraculously, the spell was broken.

There were no heroes to rescue her.

Or magic princes.

She was only guided by the light from
the lighthouse in her dreams

and the memories of old stories

told by a wonderful uncle.

And so the woman, as she was
discovered by her daughter,

was filled with nostalgia.

She put on her mermaids skin
and returned to the sea.

And why did she abandon her children
if she loved them?

Because mermaids love their freedom
above all.
