All language subtitles for The Echo 2024 HD online

Come on, run!

Can you see it?

No, Mom!

That way!

Here!

Luz Ma! Help me!

Sheep!

Grab her!

Damn.

She's heavy.

Grab her by the ear, son.

Grab her! Help us!

Go, sheep!

Up!

Careful.

Go on up.

Slowly.

Pour some water on her hands.

That's enough.

She's really… skinny.

Do you see?

Let's wash her hair.

Rinse my face, I've got soap in my eye.

She's your responsibility from now on.

You'll bathe her by yourself.

Pretend you're bathing a baby.

Get her out quickly, she mustn't get cold.

Yes, Mom.

- Your atole, Grandma.
- Not now.

Why not?

Here it is.

- But just a little.
- There isn't much.

Put it in a little cup.

There you go.

What about you?

Here's mine.

Shall we make a toast, Grandma?

Oh, Grandma…

I only have three.

Here's another one.

Look, that cloud looks like… I don't know.

It looks like a man's head.

Where? I can't see it.

- Ah, now I see it.
- Now it looks like a leg.

That one still looks like a lizard.

Look at that one.

What is it?

- A plane.
- It looks like…

- A plane!
- A dog's bone.

You can't see anything anymore.

Mammoth. All right, children.

Today I'm going to teach you
about mammoths.

Mammoths were…

very shaggy, with long tusks

that were 17.38 feet long.

Sunlight could make them extinct.

Speaking of extinction:
can someone tell me what it means?

Cristian, could you tell me?

- I don't know, Teacher.
- Jennifer?

Jennifer, pay attention, please.

I don't know, Teacher.

Extinction is when a species dies out
and there are none left.

Didn't you hear in the news
that kangaroos are going extinct?

I'm gonna catch you!

Gotcha!

Move, move…

Let's see…

Chirp, chirp.

Flip it over.

That's it.

Why did you get married young?

You want to know why?

Well…

What a question, sweetie!

Because…

I fell in love with your dad.

We got the crazy idea of living together
when we were still kids.

But I didn't finish high school
because of that.

How old were you?

Fourteen.

It's nice too, I won't deny it
or say that I regret it.

But it's best you study first

and learn all you can about life.

- You want to be a vet?
- Yes.

Then go for it.

Thanks for the ride!

See you then.

- How are you, kids?
- Daddy.

How are you? Did it rain?

Sort of.

Jeez!

Too much rain.

You only brought one backpack?

- Just the one. Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- What are you up to?
- Nothing, you?

- I was working. Weren't you?
- No, we never work.

Get a move on!

Herd them over there.

When I wanted to speak, I couldn't.

It was like I was paralyzed in my bed.

I don't know if I was having a nightmare

or just a dream.

Maybe it just happened by chance.

Like something in the wind…

They say one was spotted
by the lake once.

Like a huge fire,

but red.

They can shrink down
and then get very big.

But…

we don't know for sure

which form a witch really takes.

They say she will look like…

a turkey.

That's what they turn into.

From afar, she casts a sleeping spell.

Then she sucks the child's blood.

She undresses him.

Then she kills him,
just leaves him on the blankets.

When she casts that spell on you,

you won't wake up until the next day.

Then you'll realize
that your baby is already dead.

That's why you should put
prickly pears up on the roof.

And put scissors inside a hat.

Or a witch could come for your brother

and suck his blood.

Let's go!

What do you think?

- How are the glasses?
- Not bad.

- But things look blurry.
- Things look blurry?

Yes, everything looks kind of white.

Okay, I'll try another pair.

- I see much better.
- Yeah?

What color is my blouse?

- Your blouse?
- Yeah.

Navy blue.

No, Grandma.

You're tricking me.

Grandma.

What color are my eyes?

Greenish.

- Right?
- Yeah!

You should give those eyes
to some young boy.

You think? No!

Then how would I see?

I can see better now.

Can you?

- Eat your breakfast.
- What's this?

- Chilaquiles.
- They're spicy, right?

And you cut your hands?

Yes, I did. Look.

I cut myself here.

With a sheet of metal.

- You can see it.
- Yes.

It hurts a bit.

- Are you building a house?
- No, apartments.

I can't even reach it.

You need to grow.

Yes, grow!

Right?

Dad?

Are they tall?

The…

- The…
- The buildings?

- Yup.
- Yes.

- Seventeen stories.
- Wow!

- No way!
- Yeah.

That high?

- To the very top!
- Yep, to the top.

What do you think?

- Where do you sleep?
- In a parking lot.

Jeez.

Do you know what?

I'd rather be a mechanic.

A mechanic?

It's easier to be a carpenter.

- No.
- No?

Yes, because, as a carpenter,

you have your nail box
when you're working high up…

- I hate heights.
- You do?

You wear what they call a "harness,"
then you hang there.

You feel the adrenalin.

I'm finished

Thank God

- Leave your plate.
- Why?

Because men don't wash dishes.

That's what women are for.

Foal!

Castile rose on the vine
Blossoms then fade

I beg you, little darling

Please don't forget me

When I pass by your house

I feel like crying

I beg you little darling

Please don't forget me

I used to know a bunch of songs,

but, as time went by, I forgot them.

I got married.

I had so many household chores to do,

I eventually gave up singing.

What is it?

Mommy!

You need to add thunder.

It's sprinkling fire!

To the left.

Over there!

I almost bit the dust. Up you get.

- Do go that way!
- Don't fool around!

- I mean it.
- Wait!

I don't want to fall in the water.

Hold it, Bere! I'm carrying it all!

- No.
- Pull!

Look, Bere. This dress is so cool.

- For when I marry.
- For your wedding.

For sure.

They gave us some nice clothes this time.

- This one?
- Sell it for 50.

- Fifty pesos?
- Yeah, it's cool.

How much for this one?

- Thirty, right?
- Yeah, let's call it 30.

What is it?

It's too long.

I did one, too.

Luz Ma!

I brought lime blossom.

You make tea with it. You boil it.

It's to help us relax.

Ever tried it?

Yes.

Ramiro!

I brought cenicilla.

What's it for?

Tummy ache and indigestion.

How does your mom make it?

She puts it in boiling water,
but it tastes bad.

These are spines from a prickly pear.

And the spines are used
for scaring away witches.

If there's a newborn baby,
the witch can't suck its blood.

What will you do when you finish school?

Don't know, find a job. Go far away.

Maybe I'll enlist in the army.
I want to discover new places.

Earn money.

Not wait for someone
to always provide for me.

You're right.

Would you like to join the army, too?

No, it's not for me. I'm scared of death.

Sure.

The coolest thing about it

are the weapons. They're so tough.

Weapons make me cry.

Seriously?

They scare me.

Did you hear about the soldiers
who kidnapped a girl in Chignahuapan?

No, I didn't.

They abused their power
just so they could kidnap people.

Okay, but they're not all like that.

Maybe not all of them, but…

- What if you become a hired killer?
- Don't say that, Bere.

What's your signature like?

Were you the first woman
to arrive in El Eco?

Were you the first woman
to arrive in El Eco?

Yes?

All right.

Were you already married or a young girl?

Were you married or a young girl?

I was young.

Now I'm no use.

That's not true, you are useful.

- Mom.
- What is it?

When did you learn to shear sheep?

I was forced by need, son.

I started to shear them the best I could.

Some ended up…

a bit choppy, but…

Look, a tick.

That's why sheep are thin sometimes.
The ticks eat them away.

When you were a baby,
I took a tick out of your ear.

With milk from a carton.

Move over there.

Hold her, Uriel.

- The head?
- Yes, just hold it.

Cute little sheep.

It crackles.

Yes, when it makes that noise,
it means the corn is ready.

If you're not sure,
you can do this, look.

See?

Almost!

Did you think it'd be easy?

It's my turn now.

Have the ducklings hatched yet?

Gotcha!

Mom.

Would you like to have another baby?

No.

Why?

We have a lot to do around here.

Your dad works far away.

It's complicated.

Right?

Yes.

Ouch! It hurts.

It hurts.

Ow, my arm.

My left arm hurts.

- Here?
- Yes.

Like that or further down?

All over.

Show me where with your hand.

Lower…

lower…

It's somewhere… there!

That's enough.

- Around here?
- Yes.

Bear!

Turn them around!

Gently.

Be gentle, Bear!

Stop there!

Don't mess it up.

Let's see.

This one doesn't whistle.
How about this one?

Hey, did you hear it?

Cow poo!

Luz Ma!

Sparrow hawk!

Like this: first you get on.

Turn on the switch.
Pull the choke out. Look!

It starts up,
then you release the clutch.

Do it hard.

Then you give it gas, right?

Then you give it gas, bro.

- Now you.
- How?

Like I told you. With your right leg.

- This one?
- Yeah.

- Push it hard.
- Grab the tank to get on.

Or the seat. Look.

That's it! Now give it gas.

Okay, now it's your turn.

- Now I'll show you.
- On that side.

- Turn on the switch.
- This one?

The switch.

Push the start button.

Give it some gas.

- That one.
- This one.

I'm off!

Stop, Tania!

Yeah, like that!

Here's your cup.

And here's your pill.

- Do you like your new job?
- Yeah, I do.

Who's your best friend?

Alejandro.

Did he ask you anything?

- If I wanted to be his girlfriend.
- What did you say?

I told him to wait a while.

Don't you miss home?

Miss your family?

Of course!

This problem is hard…

I ate you.

Hang on, Toño.

Toño!

Look.

Monse, cover me up, I'm cold.

I'll feed you first.

- I don't want anything.
- Just a little bit.

No.

"Accompany:
to go with as an associate or companion."

"The sky is cinder."

- "Quiet moon."
- "The trees are white."

"Observe: to come to realize or know…
To observe the stars."

"The dust of the path,
hides in the ravines"…

"A solar eclipse"…

It says:
"There is a basket of rushes and reeds,

a cradle for a child."

"And behind the yoke, a man walks,

bent down to earth

and a woman sowing seed in open furrows."

Yoleth.

I think that the woman

was throwing her seeds

and the man was walking ahead
with the yoke

to make furrows.

And their baby was lying in his crib.

Why did you choose this?

I've done it since I was little.
I help my father to plough

or sow seeds.

"Lying awake next to you
in the deep shelter of your dreams."

"Face down,
you breathe a song out of the earth

that you will not remember
when you awake."

"My being accompanies the song."

I think it's talking

about memories of the person
he may have once loved dearly.

Listening to her words.

Moments he shared with her.

Monse?

It's something about companionship…

I don't know.

It reminds me of someone dear to me,

who I love very much.

I put myself in the hands of God
and the Blessed Virgin.

…Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive
those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

…Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive
those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

…Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive
those who trespass against us…

…Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive
those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I won't ever see her again!

I want my mom back!

My sweet, darling mommy!

You're the light of my life

My guaranteed happiness

Farewell, my sweet darling mother

In time, my soul will depart

And say to you with affection

"Farewell, my darling one"

Farewell, my loved one

My hope, my solace

My wish, my choice

My fragile wakefulness

And I say to you with affection

"Farewell, my loved one"…

You have to grab them one by one.

See? It's easier with this tool.

You only use the strength of your hand.

I think it's easier this way.

- Right?
- I think so.

It's easier.

I'll stack the sheaves for you.

Work is work. It's not easy.

You have to do it with love.

Watch out!

I'm coming down. Here's the machete.

Okay!

I'm coming down.

Hold on to me real tight.

It's so cold.

It's freezing out here.

Uncle, someone cut a bunch of trees.
And up there as well.

Yeah, the bastards!

About twenty trees.

Why don't we fetch the wood?

The men who cut them down took it away.

- They took it.
- You think they'd leave it there?

Stay still.

That's it.

I was doing it the wrong way around.

Turn her around.

Get comfortable so you can…

Okay. I'm ready.

Her skin is very tough.

It's done, she's dead.

Okay.

Is this the cooking pot?

Give it to the dogs.

Afterwards.

Ouch!

Yuck, it's ugly.

Hold it like that.

- That's it.
- What for?

To skin it, sweetheart.

Yuck, I can't do it.

I cut it properly. See?

- Mom?
- Yes?

Where is Dad going to sell the meat?

I don't know, maybe San Benito.

Let's see if it sells well this time.

Mom, do you think that…

Dad will bring a lot of money?

Let's hope that he sells it all.

I hope so.

- Or how can I buy all my candy?
- Yes.

Our food, I meant, and my sandwich.

- You want a sandwich?
- Yeah.

Easy, boy.

Hold! Hold it!

Hold it!

Easy, easy.

Think it'll work in eight days?

Yes?

Yes. You'll notice the change.

He'll be stronger, hungrier.

He'll eat more.

That'll be interesting.

Quiet.

Let's go!

Giddy up!

No!

No…

Stop, dammit!

- He wants to run off.
- Isn't it scary?

- Yeah, like I'll fall off.
- God, I hope not.

Shush, Bere! Stop, stop!

Your hair looks a mess. Comb it.

No…

Two days ago,
they brought about five trucks

and took a load of wood.

As far as I know,
they usually come through here.

Now that we're watching,

maybe they'll come from down there,
they make less noise.

I don't think they'll dare.

You can hear something.

Did you bring something to make a call?

There's no signal here.

Don't move.

- Sacks of dust, Toño.
- Yes.

- Pure dust, right?
- Dust!

Do it gently.

Don't raise so much dust.

Get out of the way!

Out of the way!

Get out of the way,
it's going on your head.

This looks awesome, Bere.

That one looks cooler.

Who are you racing against?

Don Pepe's horse.

- No way. The butcher?
- Yeah.

Damn it, Monse.

I feel like they'll have no faith in me.

Since I've never raced before,

they'll say, "She knows nothing about it."

You just stand your ground.

And you'll win.

- What about your mom?
- She doesn't want me to race.

- They're scared.
- I bet.

But I'll jump on the horse
before she notices.

- She'll hit you with a broom.
- Shut up!

Come on!

Let's go!

There!

Goal!

Goal!

One to one!

There you go!

Up here!

Luz Ma got hit!

- Rub it!
- Rub it!

It's all right.

- We'll hit back, who hit you?
- Ramiro.

Can you still play?

- If you can't, move aside.
- No, I can play.

You can do it, Luz Ma.

I already said
you're not going to race. Got it?

I don't care who you made the deal with

or whatever you signed.

You respect me.
I'm the one in charge here.

I'm your mom. You have to obey me.

If I say you're not going, that's it.

And the horse stays here, damn it.

Even if you get mad, Monse.

Go!

Oh, will

You be

The wind when I want to fly?

Will you be

Concrete when I want to fall?

- I need to relax.
- And what about us?

We never have weekends off
or lunch breaks

to get some rest.

I need you to help us
around the house more.

I do help you, don't I?

Yes, but we need more help.

You have to take responsibility
for your kids, mainly.

What are my kids lacking from me?

I miss them, too much.

Then pay more attention to them.

Be more present.

But I'm out working.

How about, for the next two weeks,
I work and you stay home with them?

Well, go on then! Do whatever you want.

- I'll open the door and you just go.
- No.

This is hard.

You think I do nothing
even though I do my best.

The point is to change roles
so we appreciate each other's work.

Go on, speak.

- Hello.
- What do you feel?

- Air.
- What you feel are sound waves.

Sound waves
are like mountains, the ocean,

or a worm that moves like this.

If I clap like this,

I can feel the vibration.

Now you try.

What did you feel?

- Tickling.
- It's a vibration.

A vibration is like a swaying movement.

Meaning that it comes and goes.

It's like the tops of big trees
that are on the hill.

When the air moves them,

the treetops do this,

but they stay in the same place.

Look. Let's use an example.
These pebbles are molecules.

"Hi, neighbor." These are the molecules.

When we make a loud noise,

molecules collide with their neighbors

and the noise is loud.

They sort of pile up.

There are molecules in the air.

But first, something important:
what is air?

What do you think would happen
without air?

No idea.

You wouldn't hear anything without air.

Because we transmit one thing
to another through the air.

I'm talking to you now
and you can hear me thanks to the air.

There is no air in outer space.

I'll tell you a story about astronauts.

They got on a spaceship
and went into space for the first time.

They eventually reached the Moon.

But they thought there was air there.

When they arrived,
there was no air at all. None.

So one said to the other…

Could you hear me?

No, right?

So then, the next time they went,

they got in their spaceship
and blasted off to the Moon.

When they got there,
they had radios and stuff.

They just pressed a button and said,

"Don't go there, you could get lost."

Now explain to me what you understood.

You told me

that these astronauts went to the Moon.

And the next time they went there,

they took ra…

- Radios.
- Rau…

Ra-di-os.

Rad…

Raid…

- Its head is stuck.
- Yes.

Everything is fine.

We're almost there.

- The head is out.
- Almost.

Come on.

It's almost over.

The worst is over.

Easy.

Clean its nose.

And inside its mouth too.

Easy. Can you breathe now?

All done.

It happened to me when I was eleven.

I didn't know anything about it
at the time.

When I got home,

my mom saw the bloodstains.

Then she explained to me what it meant.

When you're older, you'll understand.

It happens every month.

What's going to happen to me?

You'll bleed a bit
from your private parts.

But don't be afraid, it's normal.

And from then on,
you must take care of yourself.

Why?

- How long did you work for?
- Just seven hours.

We're done, Doña Mari. It's a half day.

- 250 pesos.
- Thanks.

Do you know how women dressed
in the old days?

Rich women wore bulky, fancy dresses.

And the women farmers wore plain dresses.

The farmers
were the rich people's slaves.

Hey? Are you paying attention?

Yes!

Kids like us didn't go to school.

Why? Because they had to work really hard.

Would you like to live as slaves?

No.

So people got really mad
and that's when the war started.

Does anyone know the name of that war?

- The Mexican Revolution.
- Good, Christopher. One more point.

They got mad because they didn't have
land to plant crops or to live on.

I'm going to hand out these sheets.

Can anyone tell me the name
of this man with the moustache?

Juan Zapata.

No, his name was Emiliano Zapata.

- Emiliano Zapata.
- Well done.

Does anyone know
what Emiliano Zapata did?

- He fought a war.
- Zapata.

Zapata.

Good. Cut them out, please.

He began a war.

So all the people
who lived in the countryside

would have land.

Were there women gunfighters
in the Revolution?

No, there were none.

Yes, there were.

There were women gunfighters,
and nurses who healed the sick.

And there were also spies.
Who can tell me what a spy is?

- Juan Zapata's wife?
- No.

Let's look up "spy" in the dictionary.

Let's see. Move up a bit.

Angela, is Monse coming back?

I don't know.

Do you know where she went?

No.

And why didn't she tell us
she was leaving?

I don't want to study anymore.

The truth is, I want to earn money.

I'm going to stay here, help my dad

to plough,

to sow.

What are you going to do?

Will you

Be the wind?

Oh, will you

Be the light?

Oh, will you

Be the wind?

Oh, will you

Be the light?

I do miss her.

Monse…

This Friday,
it'll be two weeks since she left.

I'll never forget that day.

We noticed
she'd taken her school backpack.

She didn't take anything else…

Oh, yes, she took
her sneakers and some clothes.

It hurts a lot

that she left like that
without saying anything to me.

I feel like maybe
I wasn't the best mom for her.

I wonder what she must think of me.

This is what we teach them here:

working in the fields,

caring for the animals, feeding them.

How to make a living in the fields.

So I don't know why…

she decided to leave.

Maybe it is what it is. She was tired…

of helping us out.

Maybe she decided

to look for different things
somewhere else.

She wanted to go to Mexico City.

To earn a living.

My daughter is a real rebel.

She'll make her own way.

She'll go far if she doesn't come undone.

Mom.

I earned 80 pesos today at work.

That means
I've saved 200 pesos all together.

I can buy the high school uniform.

I don't know if I can enroll you, sweetie.

But why?

We'll wait a little while more.

Come.

- Can you carry it?
- Yes.

Lift it up, sweetie.

All right. Let's do it.

Mom? Is this any good?

No, it's too chunky.

It needs to be thin…

and long.

Like this one.

Like this one, right?

Great, that should work.

Put that cob aside.

Look, Toño.
Your kernels must be like this.

If it doesn't rain, are we going to sow?

Mom?

If it doesn't rain,
there's no corn, right, Mom?

We're going to die like the sheep.

Because they're already dying.

They don't have anything to eat.

No, we're not going to die.

Are we going to paint?

I want green.

- "Let's go."
- "Let's go"? It's "vámonos" in Spanish.

Yes! Let's go!

- What's "c'mon" in Spanish?
- "Apúrale"!

You guys are painting them cross-eyed.

I missed this bit here.

I want my handprint to look good.

- And here…
- And this bit here.

And here.

Quiet! Don't say a thing.

Ready!

To all our classmates, girls and boys,

who are graduating from primary school:

please come and visit us…
whenever you can.

Thank you for telling us stories,

for showing us new words,

and for helping us in class.

We learned a lot of things with you.

We're going to miss you.

EL ECO PRIMARY SCHOOL GRADUATES

- Here's the belt.
- Yes, dear, and the towel.

When you get there,

call me, so I don't worry.

- Yes, Mom.
- And please…

tell Monse to call me.
I won't be mad with her.

- Yes, Mom.
- Please.

Don't tickle me!

Stop!

Discovery.

I see you, Luz Ma!

Wait, Luz Ma!

We thank the participation
of El Eco and San José communities,

for welcoming us into your homes
and sharing so many stories.

Will you

Be the wind?

Oh, will you

Be the light?

Oh, will you

Be the wind?

Will you

Be the light?
