So... What is needed for the seed to germinate?

- Water. - Water. What else?

Temperature.

Oxygen.

Yes. What else?

- Anything else? - Minerals.

Minerals.

The seed absorbs the water

through its wrappers.

So that the water can feed the seed.

The embryo.

It reaches the embryo.

The cotyledons contain chlorophyll to carry out the

photosynthesis.

What happened to your germination, Lila?

I forgot it.

How did you forget? I had about five buds on yours.

Who is going to take care of it during the whole week?

Okay,

now we are going to fetch water,

pour a little bit of water on them and we are going to take them outside.

Slow down, Luisito.

You'll get a tummy ache.

Chew slowly.

Count to ten.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Lila?

Are you okay? Do you need anything?

I am fine. Leave me alone.

I'm going to prepare your bed. Let me know, if you need anything.

Okay.

Good night, girls.

Good night.

What you're doing? Are you crazy? Lila, get down from there! - No!

I don't want to. - You want to leave? You'll freeze to death after two kilometers, Lila.

That's not how things work out. Come down to me.

- Let me. - Get down from there, Lila.

But you will drop dead, frozen to death after two kilometers.

I want to leave. - Get down from there, Lila. Get down from there now.

Come down from there.

What are you going to tell the director? That I wanted to escape?

No. I'll take you to talk to your mom. We'll both go tomorrow.

You know she doesn't want me to go.

- Are you going to sleep now? - No!

Come on!

Is it very difficult to drive?

You are too young. You can't drive yet.

And the pedals like that?

What is it?

The pedals.

I promise to teach you, when you're older.

Not now, when you're older.

Yes, I already talked to her.

Yeah, I know, but she's really upset about all this.

And it's getting worse with every day.

She didn't want to meet her.

She knows she has a daughter. She has never come to see her.

Her family is my mom and me. Isn't that enough?

I don't say that.

Yes, you're the most important thing she has.

But Lila is no longer a little child.

And if she wants to meet her dad, she has to be able to.

I don't know what bug has bitten her, that lately she's asking me all the time.

Can't you understand what's happening?

Lila wanted to run away from school. She wanted to escape.

We can't force her to understand something she doesn't want to understand.

I think it's good for her that she wants to meet her dad.

Good for her?

Yes?

Look, the girl goes to school to learn and not to confuse her head.

And you'll have to understand that.

The clavicle is the first embryonic element to sprout.

We already talked about this.

Do you remember the cotyledons?

The cotyledons contain chlorophyll to carry out the...

...photosynthesis.

And what is needed for the seed to germinate?

You promised.

Bastard!

What are you doing, Lila?

Lila, what's wrong with you?

You know what's wrong with me.

Good night, girls.

Good night.

Come on, let's go.

- How do I start it? - First.

Second.

Third.

Not the right one.

You know which one?

- Are you sure it's the brake? - No.

Don't you remember?

I don't know.

Lila!

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'll get the girl out.

Come here.

What are you thinking? You're getting crazy. Come with me.

Excuse me.

Wait for me outside.

And close the door. Stay where I can see you.

You have to bring Lila home tomorrow.

- Do you think so, Marta? - Yes.

And she has to stay there for two weeks.

I have to suspend her.

What are you thinking?

I don't know.

- I think it could be worse. - Worse?

That girl went in the middle of nowhere by horse in the cold and then she took the car.

I know what she did, Marta. Don't tell me, I was there.

She is a danger and I am afraid she wants to do it again.

- She could also run away from home. - That is not my responsibility.

I'm not her mother. It's her mother's business if she runs away from home.

I'm responsible for 20 more kids.

Should she sleep with me or with you tonight? The door will be locked.

So?

I don't know, Marta.

I don't know if we're doing the right thing.

Good night, Lila.

Good night.

I know where my dad works.

It's 142 kilometers.

Can you take me there?

Lila.

Promise me that you won't run away from your home.

Look at me.

Look at me, Lila. Promise me.

I am not going to promise you anything.

Hello, Marta.

Jimena.

How are you? Listen to me.

I'm here with Lila at the crossroads

and she's feeling bad.

No, listen to me.

She's feeling bad. She says her tummy hurts. She feels stitches.

I think it must have something to do with yesterday.

No, she's not lying to me.

Look, if I call you and tell you, it's because I'm worried.

I'm worried about her.

I don't lose anything when I take her to the hospital.

Someone should check on her and we can rest assured.

No, really, Marta. Trust me.

Okay.

I kiss you. Bye.

Here, let me see.

- What's your dad's name? - I don't know.

I have that. He does work here.

What do you mean you don't know, Lila? Don't know your dad's name? - No.

- You don't know his name? - No.

Don't worry. I know he works here.

No, we're not going.

Tell me everything you know about your Dad.

That he works here.

That's all?

- We won't go. - No, let's go!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Excuse me. - Yes, yes.

- Can I ask you something? - Yes.

We are looking for someone working at Electrocor.

- At Electrocor? - Yes.

And he should work here?

Yes, we have this address. Ovidio Lagos.

- Yes. - Over there? - Yes, yes. - Yes?

We've been here for eight years.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

No, I have no idea.

I am one of the cousins.

I've been here since the beginning.

They’re the ones putting up antennas.

- Which antennas? - The ones with the antennas.

There are some old antennas there and they are many years old.

But they must have been from those who were here before.

You can take them if you need them.

- You'd do us a favour. - No, no. We don't need antennas.

We were looking for someone who worked there in this company.

Do you know anyone who might know something about the people who used to work here? - No.

I don't.

Well, thank you.

- But some will have moved on. Nope? - The gentleman doesn't know.

- I don't know - Well, thank you. Very friendly.

Let's go.

Electrocor?

Yes.

- You said there were antennas? - Yes, yes.

It must be listed here, if it still exists.

Did you search the internet?

Yes, we did.

Electroscor...

Sounds a bit more like cable electricity to me.

If it were an antenna, it would be something with SAT.

- Or not? - Yes, maybe.

What address did you tell me?

Ovideo, La voz dos 54.

- Corralón. The cousins? - Yes, we were there.

Now it's Corralón.

Electrocor...

Let's see... Here it is.

Here it is. Electrocor. That's it.

But it has been deregistered ten years ago.

Yes, installation and maintenance of antennas.

But nothing else comes up.

The company no longer exists.

We're connected to a global network, but I can't find more information. That's strange.

But he worked there.

Ah, well. If you're looking for a person, that's something else,

Tell me the name and I could identify him.

We don't have the name.

Ah, my dear, then you don't have nothing.

Thank you. Come on, girl.

Let's go.

Lila.

Hey.

What just happened doesn't mean that you are not going to meet your dad later.

In the future.

If you want.

The good thing is that what you were worried about and what made you feel bad is over.

You did what you wanted to do and you took the first step.

Now we need to find out more things about him.

Go ahead.

Come on, I told Marta that we were leaving.

We did everything we could.

What's wrong, Lila?

Lila, come here.

Come on, Lila, we're leaving.

Electrocor, sir?

Electrocor?

They were here.

I know them.

I mean before they left.

I can tell you the exact address.

Now there is Corralón. The Cousins.

First there was Rubén.

Then there was El Flaco.

We've already been there. We saw it.

Come on, get down. I told Marta that we were leaving.

Let's go.

And you know everyone who worked there?

But of course, I knew them all.

Yes, they were about

five or six.

Well... Allow me the indiscretion.

- What are you looking for? - Lila, let's go.

- How old are you? - 12.

And you are sure that the Electrocor installer is your dad?

Yes, I am sure.

He was the one who installed the antennas.

Are you sure? How sure, Lila?

The only thing you had was that badge you showed me. How can you be so sure? - I'm sure, sir.

Sure. Sure.

I often heard my mom and grandma talking about it.

He is the one who has installed the antennas.

I have no doubt about it.

It's Puma.

- 12 years old? - Yes.

The date matches, because at that time Puma was going for condoms.

He went for installing antennas.

And he left his seed where he was going.

But how can you be so sure it's him?

We all knew each other.

Let's see. This man you name is the only one.

He was the only antenna installer? There were no others?

The only one. I'll tell you more.

Sometimes he came with a young boy who was the assistant, Chiri.

And everyone said he was also his son.

And do you know where Puma lives?

Cañada Morrison is 200 km away. On the other side.

We're not going any further away, Lila.

This will take a long time.

You're going to leave me alone now that I know where he is?

How alone?

Alone.

No, not alone.

You'll come back with me.

I'm responsible for you, Lila. You're a little girl.

A little girl?

I was no longer a little girl when I should go to my mom.

I heard you.

I won't leave you alone, Lila.

You'll come back with me right now. Say goodbye to Arturo

and thank him for everything he did for us and you'll get in the car.

- Let's go. - I'm going to see who's my dad and I'll come back.

No, you're coming back with me. Get in the car right now.

Come on, Lila, let's go to the car.

- Stop it. - No. - Lila.

Put yourself in my shoes for a second.

Look at me.

No, no, look at me.

I've already risked a lot for you.

Look at me, Lila.

By now I may have lost my job. And I could even go to jail.

Damn, you won't.

I won't run away. I promise.

You're the only one who understands me.

Why did we come all this way?

If we're going back.

I won't be alone.

Come with me.

Calm down, Marta.

Listen to me. Listen to me, Marta. You know me.

Please, Marta. I'm asking you for one day.

Just give me one more day.

No one has to know about this.

So?

Did you have any other boyfriends after your husband?

No, Lila.

I don't like listening to music in the car.

A firefly.

- I saw one. - No, dear.

- Yes. - No.

- There are no fireflies when it's cold. - But I saw one.

It must have been something else. There are no fireflies when it's cold.

I saw one.

Do fireflies have a light?

It's called bioluminescence.

It is an enzyme it has.

It makes it humiliating when it gets together with another one.

And for what purpose?

Females use it to attract the males.

When they feel threatened...

...it deactivates them.

All of them?

Depending on the species.

What do you think?

- Take it, it's good. - No, I'm not hungry.

- Thank you. - But it's good.

Here, take it.

What?

Lila, we can't know how your dad will react.

But you really wanted to meet him.

And that's why we are here. For your strength.

And because of the desire you had. And that's very good, Lila.

What shall we do?

Let's go.

Shall we go in?

Yes.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Yes?

Yes?

Are you Puma?

What is the issue?

It's a personal matter.

I'm the teacher.

Of her.

I don't understand these devices.

What do I do now? My son sent it to me from Buenos Aires.

- It never started. How can this be? - No, but I...

I don't dare to put my hands on it.

- But it's new. - Yes, but...

New? I don't know.

I think that it has been used yet.

He told me it's new.

Yes, but...

Get the guarantee.

Sit down.

Where are you from?

From Los Cóndores.

We were installing some repeaters there.

It was cold.

Is it still the same?

Yes.

How old are you?

12.

It's been a long time.

Why should we go into details at this point?

What is it going to be, if you make an mistake?

Well, you shouldn't think so much, because if you think too much...

Maybe recently.

But if you think about it strongly,

maybe a long time ago.

I am a slow thinker.

But I always go with the truth.

I never lie.

But it seems

that people like to be lied to.

I make myself understood.

I don't sell a pig in a poke.

I don't have much to offer.

Miss, do you see what's here?

You don't have to explain it to me.

Explain it to her. Not to me.

Lila. I'll leave the conversation.

I'll wait outside.

Call me whenever you like and I'll come in.

Whenever you like.

Okay.

What's that for?

- What? - What's that for?

Someone left it here.

Do you want us to drink something?

I don't have anything.

It's a place to shop.

What do you like?

I'll buy what you like.

Stay.

Stay here please.

What do you think?

I don't know what it's going to be.

Talk to her.

Did you ask her what her name is?

Ask her name.

Her name.

Lila?

You know how.

Do you feel anything?

Look, Puma...

You know what causes hypoglycemia.

I'm not going to explain it to you again.

I was starting to take care of you, Puma.

This way you'll quickly end the party.

Since the electricity is paid and that's it.

What did you eat today?

Just some tea.

You have to eat something, Puma.

You don't have to eat regularly.

You have to eat

at least some vegetables.

No, don't get up. Stay, stay. No, no, wait.

Quite a lot.

You know what to do.

Very good.

Wait, Lila.

- Wait. - Shall I wait?

- No, don't go in. Knock on the door. - Don't you come in?

Here. I brought you food.

- I'll cook for you. Can I come in? - No, there's no need. Leave things there.

Leave the things there and we'll go.

She's right, little girl. It is not necessary.

- How much did you spend? - No, it's fine.

Never mind. Leave the things there. We're leaving.

The bag. He doesn't want you to come in.

Don't you realise that he doesn't want you to come in?

Leave things there. Let's go.

I'm afraid it will hurt you.

- Let's go. - Everything scares you.

No, this is my business. For the last time. I promise.

Can I come in?

Put the whole thing in. That knife won't cut.

Why don't you come and give us a hand?

Come, come closer.

Come closer.

Come.

- You see? - Yes.

Do you want us to put some onion? It'll taste better.

Can you eat onions?

You know there is a technique.

So you don't have to cry when you cut the onion.

Well, the best known is

the one you cut

and you dip the knife

in the water.

Then you cut... And that's it.

There's another one.

You put a crumb of bread in your mouth...

...and with the saliva...

Well, you'll see that

you don't have to cry.

- Yummy, isn't it? - Yummy.

Marta, this is

very tasty.

Do you always

cook like this?

No, we don't cook at school.

We also have a canteen there.

Where did you get this delicious recipe?

Thank you, from my mom.

How's Celia?

Who?

Your mom. How is she?

Celia.

Celia.

Is she still with the parador, the sweets and all that? - No.

Clelia.

Yes, yes. Clelia. Clelia. Yes.

Your mom.

No, Clelia is not my mom.

What do you mean Celia is not your mom?

No, Clelia.

She's not my mom.

My mom's name is Rosa.

Why Rosa? I don't know any Rosa.

There was only one woman.

The only woman I have been with in Parador was Celia.- Clelia.

You're not the one who installs antennas?

Yes, we installed antennas there in Los Cóndores.

We'll repeat this. Let's see if...

Let's see if we can make things clear.

You say you don't know any Rosa.

No.

- No. - You don't remember?

Are you sure about Rosa and Los Cóndores?

I'm sure.

You said you were installing antennas and repeaters there in Los Cóndores?

- Yes. - You did?

- We who? You and who else was there? - No, no, no.

Impossible. Chiri was 15 years old.

He was by my side all the time.

We were not alone.

There was no one else there.

I don't know what to say.

Let's go?

Yes.

Come on.

Eat, Puma.

Eat.

Where's this, Puma?

Do you want us to bring you there?

Get out and say goodbye, Lila.

- Okay. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

How old is your child?

No, it's not my child. He's my grandson.

Rita's son.

Okay. Good luck.

See you, Puma.

See you, girl.

Bye.

Is there a service station around here?

Around the corner.

- You will find it there. - Just there?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Lila!

The welder!

Wait, Lila.

What's up, Puma? Are you okay?

I remember.

It's the welder.

When...

When we were installing the repeater.

There was a tremendous storm.

It didn't stop raining.

The wind loosened two of the antennas we had installed.

I came back with a welder.

Then I went to the village and he was left alone.

He stayed

there for about two weeks.

Lila, shall I come with you?

- You're sure? - Yes.

You were welding the antenna in Los Cóndores?

It was 12 or 13 years ago. A storm that loosened everything.

Do you remember?

Why are you asking me? Who sent you here?

Nobody sent me.

Do you remember Rosa?

What's going on?

It'll stay like this for a while.

Is it okay that way?

It's okay like that.

Hello.

Hello.

Go to Roque's place before you close and bring me some electrodes.

- But there are plenty in the top drawer. - Doesn't matter.

They won't be needed.

I'm with the oven.

What shall I do? Switch it off?

Switch it off.

Come with me.

What's that for?

It's to soften the material and melting the parts.

Why didn't you come with your mom?

I'm with my teacher. Gimena is her name.

My mom doesn't know I'm here.

And how did you get here?

With this badge.

There's no address. It says nothing.

No, but I knew it. There were many changes.

Who taught you to be a welder?

My Dad.

Do you need anything?

No.

I'm fine. I've never seen it before.

Are you passing through with your teacher?

It's far. How is she?

I've come to see you.

We drove about 400 kilometers.

When I heard about your mom...

...I didn't know what to do.

Then time has passed and...

No, it doesn't matter.

I just wanted to meet you.

What is that for?

It's a weather vane.

It is placed on top of houses for

knowing where the wind comes from.

It has the cardinal directions. Do you know what they are?

North, south, east and west.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm leaving.

Pleased to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

She did a lot to get here.

I can imagine.

Can you wait a second?

Yes.

My love. The meat will be ready.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you coming soon?

I'll be right there.

Does the noise bother you?

No.

What?

You have to put it in, if you wanna listen to it.

Down there?

Yes, down there.

You have to press.

Let's see.

I already listened to it a lot.

It's rare. Not bad.

I couldn't imagine it.

You know what's good.
