SOUND OF THE SEA

When the hero and the beautiful Dido were in the cave,

the sky became disturbed by a great storm.

The goddess Juno, seeing the lovers embracing,

at once gave the signal.

Lightning started to flash

and nymphs began to dance

at the mouth of the cave.

Tell your mother that the cuttlefish hasn't arrived yet.

But look.

In these bags

you've got the squid

and the prawns.

- All right love? - Yeah I'll tell her.

- So long. - 'Bye.

I appreciate you bringing forward your arrival.

You can catch up on things during the holiday.

Casillas your predecessor died without leaving any study plan

so you'll have to sort things out with your pupils.

The Language and Literature Classroom.

Go ahead.

You've got a lovely view.

Excuse me.

- The magazine you asked for. - Thank you.

I'll introduce you.

Ulises Adsuara new Head of Language and Literature

Xavier Leat Drawing.

- A pleasure. - Likewise.

- Have you found any accommodation? - No I wanted to ask about that.

Martina!

Turn that music down!

Well...

This is ready.

Let's see if you like it!

- Basilio how many are inside? - Four.

Serve these plates.

Turn that off.

Thank you Martina.

Do you like it?

It looks great.

Do you make it like your mother?

No but I can make great French fries.

I love French fries. Will you make them for me some day?

I'm nobody's servant.

Will you bring me some lemon?

What are you reading?

The Aeneid.

What's it about?

"The hero Aeneas and the beautiful Queen Dido stricken by love

made ready to flee together to the forest.

The goddess Juno said to them:

I shall be present there in a cave to join you in a very firm bond."

What did the goddess say?

"I shall be present there in a cave to join you in a very firm bond."

That's lovely

isn't it?

Come on.

Get back to the counter.

- Well are you taking the room? - Yes.

Be careful with my daughter.

- María Luisa Martín. - Here!

- Marta Muñiz Soriano. - She isn't here.

- Raquel García. - Here.

- Antonio Perez Monteagudo. - He isn't here either.

Why are there so many people absent today?

Is there an epidemic or what?

No.

They're in the orange groves.

The orange groves?

Yes the orange groves.

He's gorgeous.

Working?

No fucking.

All right

all right.

We're going to discuss the arrival of Odysseus among the Phaeacians.

- Morning Don Alberto. A coffee? - Yes please.

Martina!

- Be nice to Mr. Sierra. - Like always.

My niece says you're a big fan of Alejandro Sanz too.

What about it?

He's playing in Valencia on Saturday.

If you want you can come with us.

Martina come here.

You and I could be good friends Martina.

Will you come?

No.

Mr. Basilio can I have an iced coffee?

Mom! I'm off!

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

You must be blind.

Do you never go out?

Out where?

For a drink to go for a walk

to the disco whatever.

It's this one.

Do you like it?

Isn't it a bit old?

If you'd seen it four years ago when they made the film here...

Come on there's nobody here.

Where you are now that's where he was.

Who?

The artist at the end of the film.

Wearing a tuxedo and having a drink.

He was very sad because his girl had left him.

And then over there

a car drove up it stopped and she got out.

She came on board and they kissed.

How romantic.

You can laugh but I met him.

- I'm not laughing. - Yes you are.

Really.

I was on my own in the bar.

It was very early in the morning so there was no one around.

And he came in.

He didn't say anything.

He just looked at me and smiled with such white white teeth

and he pointed to the bottle of gin.

I was sixteen and I was shaking all over.

When he realized he held my hand while I was serving him.

I was in bed for a week with a temperature.

If I ever have money I'm going to buy this boat.

Why don't you tell me what happened to those two in the cave?

When the hero and the beautiful Dido were in the cave,

the sky became disturbed by a great storm.

The goddess Juno,

seeing the lovers embrace, at once gave the signal.

Lightning started to flash

and nymphs

began to dance...

- I love this music. - ...at the mouth of the cave.

That Don Alberto who was in the bar do you like him?

No.

But your mother likes him a lot.

He's in construction he's loaded.

But I know what he wants.

What does he want?

To go to bed with me.

This is the music that I like.

I dreamed about you last night.

It's beautiful.

Come.

Hang on to the present

and don't think about tomorrow.

My father was here when he was in the army.

He says that one day he saw a horse's eyes

shining at the bottom of that lake.

So they stirred up the water

and they found two eyes.

They say they belonged to this horse.

This place is magical.

Look.

From the depth of the calm sea

there arise two serpents

with immense coils.

Above the waves

they raise

their crests

and their breasts

while the rest of their bodies

spread out beneath the surface of the water.

One of them now holds me tight

between two loops

and oppresses me

with the double ring of its love.

And I

try to break

its knot.

Your breasts remind me of the sea.

I feel dizzy.

When you set sail for Ithaca, make sure the crossing is long,

full of adventures, full of knowledge.

Ask that the journey may be long

with many summer mornings on which full of happiness

you may put in at unknown coves.

Stop in the ports of Pheoenicia and acquire precious goods

coral mother-of-pearl amber

ebony and voluptuous perfumes.

Visit many cities and learn from their wise men.

Always carry Ithaca in your mind

but do not for any reason hasten your return.

Very good Raquel.

Martina!

Where are you going?

- To see your teacher? - Yes. What about it?

- Are you serious about him? - Why?

Have you asked him how much he earns?

- A lot less than you I'm sure. - Martina if you wanted...

But I don't!

Well it's pity!

Goddess Juno.

Hello.

Shall we go for a walk?

No let's go home.

Home?

We met here just to do that?

Yes.

I've got a surprise for you.

What surprise?

One that you'll really like.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure.

What are you hiding?

- I told you to be careful. - But we're going to get married.

That's the least you could do.

Getting pregnant...

- Why didn't you tell us sooner? - I wanted to be sure.

- The disgrace of it all. - And now I can't have an abortion.

Ma'am ma'am!

- I'm going to marry your daughter. - You'd better.

Do you think anyone noticed that I'm pregnant?

What do you care? You're married aren't you?

Yes.

Come here.

I love our wedding rings.

Two coffees.

You can't smoke.

Ulises!

You're going to miss the train!

We'll do it tonight in Valencia.

Tell me that you love me.

We're married and you still haven't said: Martina I love you.

Martina I love you.

You know what?

I want to buy a boat.

- A boat. - Yes a fishing boat

so I can bring you lots and lots of tuna.

I like that.

Look at that bed!

Aren't we going for supper?

I'm not hungry.

- Let's go for a walk. - Sure.

Come on.

Come on.

You said: In Valencia.

And we're in Valencia.

- Tell me that thing I like so much. - What is it that you like so much?

- From the depth... - ...of the calm sea

there arise two serpents

with immense coils.

Above the waves

they raise

their crests and their breasts

while the rest of their bodies

spread out beneath the surface of the water.

One of them

now

holds me tight between two coils

and oppresses me

with the double ring

of its love.

Put it right up against the wall.

You can bring up the table now.

I wouldn't sell it for all the gold in the world

but since they won't let me fish... This is the starter.

That's the tiller.

Now you just have to cast off.

Are you happy?

Yes.

Because you've bought a boat or because we have our house?

For both things.

You'll name the boat after me won't you?

They say it's bad luck

but I'll do it.

Read to me a bit.

If an unborn force bears a part of my soul within you

what do I do as the other the one less loved?

One day will bring both of us to ruin.

Wherever you may go before me we shall both go

travelers willing to make the journey of no return together.

What a darling.

Come here to grandma sweetheart.

Hello.

Hello my love.

Go on give her a kiss.

Give me a kiss.

He's gorgeous.

He's gorgeous.

He's gorgeous.

"From loving to not loving there is a very long road

which

everyone

travels

without

knowing how

or when."

- Martina! - Hello.

You go on inside.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. I've had a leak in the house for three weeks.

I've called them forty times but I'm still waiting.

Why didn't you call me?

- I didn't want to bother you. - You could never bother me.

He's got very big.

Isn't he lovely?

He's like his mother.

And his father too.

- So what about the leak? - I'll send someone along today.

- Thanks. - So long.

Call me if you ever have a problem.

Thanks.

Martina wait.

I'm giving a party in my new house tonight.

Open air supper an orchestra. Why don't you come?

- Ulises and I? - Of course.

- I don't know. - You'll enjoy yourselves.

I'll be expecting you. And if you don't come

I won't fix your roof.

Alberto!

Hey gorgeous! Come on down.

Ma'am sir...

Thank you.

It's Xavier Leal.

No please. He's a pain.

Listen he's a colleague.

I'm going for some food.

- Hello. - Hello.

Well how are you?

Fed up.

With what?

With everything.

Thank you.

The dangerous moment is when

you pick it up.

Once you've got it if you hold it tightly there's no problem.

Here touch it.

What's its name?

Morgan.

- What do those animals eat? - Meat. They prefer it.

It's cute now but what about when it grows? It's disgusting.

They're all the rage in America.

I like strong animals.

In fact the crocodile is a defense animal.

Yes and they make great shoes.

I'm totally against the exploitation of animals.

Does it grow very big?

Well... Hey! Careful!

It's scary.

It can grow to six feet

and its jaw can measure 20 inches.

Watch it or I'll tell Martina.

There are 3 types of crocodile.

This one the Mississippiensis from the tropics

the Acutuque which is also American

and the third...

Come on.

You have to see the whole house.

- Ulises will be looking for me... - He'll find you.

Another swimming pool?

26� all year round.

- It's warm. - Do you like it?

You can come and swim whenever you want.

Come on I'll show you around upstairs.

And this is my bedroom.

Yeah.

Sometimes I think that if that teacher hadn't appeared

it could have been yours too.

But he did appear.

- Give me a kiss. - What is this?

- Give me a kiss Martina. - Alberto...

Please please...

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

A quick tumble and then what?

You're wrong Martina. You're wrong.

But still what matters is that you're happy.

That's right.

Is this why you invited me?

If he wanted to change jobs he could be my accountant.

I don't think he can count to 100.

I'm crazy about you.

How can you like a man who isn't able to make money?

He can tell stories.

Let's go I'm tired.

The one night we go out Martina...

Let's go.

She was very pretty.

Who?

Who do you think? The woman in the red dress.

Go to sleep.

I'm going out early tomorrow to fish.

Do you love me?

I'll bring you a tuna

so that you can see I love you.

I'll fix you French fries the way you like them.

Martina!

Martina love!

Come to me all you who are weary and oppressed

and I shall comfort you.

May this celebration serve to help us ask God

for the eternal rest of Ulises...

From the depth of the calm sea

there arise two serpents

with immense coils.

Above the waves, they raise their crests

and their breasts,

while the rest of their bodies

spread out beneath the surface of the water.

Hang on to the present,

and don't think about tomorrow.

- You want ice in it? - Yes lots.

It's so clammy. I'm going for a swim.

I love you!

Tell them we're not willing to wait.

They take it as it is or we offer it to the Germans.

That's right exactly.

- Dad can we play the money game? - Hold on.

Go on then.

Mom look!

Dad throw one!

Here!

Look Mom I got seven coins!

Very good Abel.

But go and get changed now you've been in the pool for ages.

Get back in your pool.

Get back in your pool!

Fucking crocodile shit!

Get back for fuck's sake.

Go on get back.

Get back in your pool.

I'm fucking fed up cleaning it for you. Get back there.

Mom the gardener's hitting Morgan!

What happened?

He called him a fucking crocodile shit.

Excuse me but I didn't touch the crocodile.

I just cleaned the pool like I was told to.

- You're a fibber as well? - I don't lie.

Ma'am the telephone.

Yes?

Yes?

Hello?

Abel!

I want to know what our chances would be in the High Court.

Very poor Alberto.

Since that seafront business they've got very tough.

- I don't think we can do anything. - One thing I don't understand.

Who's bothered by the extra floors?

The buildings are yours and there's no one behind.

Those Town Hall bastards love.

I'll have to take two floors off the building next door.

That'll be Villacañas.

Luís?

Luís?

Who is it?

Fucking speak!

Some asshole.

Yes.

Hang on to the present

and don't think about tomorrow.

Martina I've crossed all the oceans of this world

to discover that I can't live without you.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who was it?

They hung up.

Again?

Is anything wrong?

I'm exhausted.

Come here.

Let's relax a bit.

I'm very tired really.

Come here.

Is there a problem?

No.

Martina.

Martina, I've crossed all the oceans of this world

to discover that I can’t live without you.

Darling...

I'm off.

Yes?

If you want to see me,

I'm in the International Hotel,

Room 35, the same one as before.

Thank you.

Who was it?

The hair salon. They changed my appointment.

- Are you coming for lunch? - No I'm seeing some Germans.

See you tonight then.

- Are you all right? - Yes.

No problem?

No.

I brought you the tuna that I promised you.

You're a bastard!

Why?

I told you I'd come back.

Why?

I need you Martina. Help me.

And what about me? I'm married and I've got a son.

I'd like to see him.

I married Sierra.

He recognized him and Abel knows nothing.

You don't have a son.

Don't you want to know what I've been doing?

I'm not interested.

I'm not interested at all.

Except...

Did you go away with that woman at the party?

The one in red?

- What does it matter? - Tell me.

When I went fishing for tuna

I went on board her yacht and my boat drifted away.

I lost it.

Where did you go?

If you love me one day I'll take you to the island of Sumatra.

Sumatra!

You can't take me anywhere.

You don't exist!

What do you mean?

You don't exist you're dead.

Don't you understand?

If my father finds out you're alive he'll kill you

and if he doesn't Alberto will.

You're dead!

Tell me that thing I liked so much.

From the depth of the calm sea...

Yes.

From the depth of the calm sea

there arise two serpents with immense coils.

Above the waves

they raise their crests and their breasts

while the rest of their bodies

spread out beneath the surface of the water.

One of them now holds me tight between two loops

and oppresses me with the double ring of its love.

And I try to break its knot.

I have to go.

Don't leave me.

Martina

don't leave me.

The grass slows it down.

Good good very close!

Good eh?

Hello.

It fell a bit short.

Hello.

Benasha bring me another basket.

Put that in the trunk.

No one can see you so before we arrive you'll have to hide.

Are you all right?

My legs are sore.

Well we have to walk up.

- Which floor is it? - The top floor.

But you'll be safe there.

- Doesn't anyone live here? - No.

These apartments can't be sold.

There's a whole court case going on.

They want to demolish two floors

because they say it's illegal.

Wait wait...

Why

don't you tell him I'm back?

Are you crazy?

Look for the time being you stay here.

Then I'll think about what I'm going to do.

You'll be fine here.

I've bought everything you'll need.

And remember never to pull up the blinds.

From the depth of the calm sea

there arise two serpents yes

with immense coils.

Yes.

Above the waves

they raise their crests and their breasts

while the rest of their bodies yes

spread out beneath the surface of the water.

Come...

One of them now holds me tight between two loops. Come...

Come... and oppresses me with the double ring of its love. Come.

Come come.

And I try to break its knot.

From the depth of the calm sea yes

there arise two serpents yes with immense coils.

Above the waves

Yes.

...the rest of their bodies spread out beneath the surface of the water.

Come again. One of them

Come again come again.

While the rest of their bodies oppress me and oppress me...

Come come.

Again.

...with a double ring of its love.

Come again.

- Like some more? - No.

I'll have some at the office.

Have you got much work today?

A few visits nothing special.

What about you?

The gym.

Well...

I have to go.

No.

No.

Stay.

Stay Martina stay.

I have to go.

No.

- I have to go. - No.

No.

Stay Martina please.

An English travel agency is willing to buy the fucking skyscraper.

But you can't sell it.

Or can you?

Those bastards in the Town Hall may be willing to compromise.

You're coming to London with me tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

The plane leaves at 10.00.

How was the gym?

Fine.

Same as ever.

Martina...

Martina...

Ulises...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I had to go to London and...

I have to get you out of here Alberto's going to sell it.

About

1 000 years ago

a princess fell in love

with a traveler

who had arrived in her kingdom from an unknown land.

She fearful of losing him

locked him in a cellar in her palace.

She visited him every afternoon

and gradually devoured him with love.

That dungeon had neither doors nor windows

and the only way to escape

was to continue loving the princess

as if she were death.

I...

cannot

continue loving the princess.

I can't continue here.

I'm going to go away.

If you want come with me.

Hello Dad!

Why are you back so soon?

I rang you from the office.

The mobile must have been switched off. I'm sorry.

Hello Abel!

Dad can we play the money game?

Give me a kiss.

Here pick that one up.

Want a drink?

No thanks.

Well I do.

I rang but you weren't here.

No.

I had a few things to do and then I picked up Abel.

What were you doing in Valencia?

I haven't been in Valencia in ages.

Well someone saw a man getting in your car.

Well someone was mistaken.

There are lots of cars like mine aren't there?

I wish there were.

- Paco! - Yes?

- Have you cleaned the pool? - Yes as always.

As always? I want it gleaming!

You call that clean? It's a piece of shit!

Someone saw us in Valencia.

Alberto knows.

We have to go away.

I'm never going to hide again.

- That's the man you saw in Valencia? - Yes.

Let's go.

I'll be back tonight. Don't turn on the lights and don't go outside.

You didn't understand Martina.

I'm never going to hide again.

Are you sure about what we're going to do?

Yes.

Darling...

Darling I ran out of gas.

I was waiting for hours until someone helped me.

Ulises isn't dead.

He's the man you were seen with in Valencia.

Don't play with me Martina.

And be careful.

I'd kill you rather than lose you.

Get out.

Get out.

Alberto...

Get the fuck out!

Abel...

Mom has to go away.

She loves you very much.

Hey!

Who's there?

- Mr. Sierra wants to talk to you. - To me?

Yes he's waiting for you on the dock.

He's over there.

So it's you.

Didn't you drown?

Obviously not.

Well I know I paid for a mass for your soul.

So you're dead.

Tell Martina this.

She can choose.

She can come back to the living

or stay among the dead.

It's up to her.

She can come back to the living

or stay among the dead. It's up to her.

Where were you?

Martina...

What's wrong?

I don't know. I'll go and check the engines.

From the depths of the calm sea

there arise two serpents with immense coils.

Above the waves they raise their crests and their breasts.

- What's wrong Martina? - The starter engine isn't working.

One of them now holds me tight between two loops

while it oppresses me with the double ring of its love.

Martina!

What's wrong?

Ulises there's water coming in!

Oh God! Hold on!

Hold on! Get blankets Martina!

Get blankets!

I can't stop it! I can't stop it! Get more blankets!

- Ulises! - I can't stop it!

God!

Ulises!

Pull on that end!

Oh God!

Look out!

Ulises!

Ulises come here! Don't go away!

Don't go away!

Ulises!

I've got you!

I can't.

I don't want to die!

I don't want to die! I don't!

Ulises!

Ulises!

If an unborn force bears a part of my soul within you,

what do I do, as the other,

the one less loved?

One day will bring both of us to ruin.

Wherever you may go before me, we shall both go,

travelers willing to make

the journey of no return together.

Martina...

Martina...

I've crossed all the oceans of this world to find out

that I can't live without you.
