THE ANARCHIST'S WIFE
On July 17, 1936 a coup led by General Franco
ended the democratic government of the Spanish Republic
It was the beginning of a long and brutal civil war.
By its end in 1939 one million people were killed,
two million had been arrested and 500,000 exiled.
I was 4 years old when Franco
sent the crows of the German Condor Legion upon us
I soon learned to distinguish the noise of a Heinkel
from the drone of a Junker 52 ...
I could measure the distance at which a bomb had fallen,
as other children I was happy to learn
how far the lightning often strikes from the sound of the thunder.
Terror is at the doors, in the cities and in our hearts ...
The war between tyranny and freedom
will take place in our streets.
Madrid is much more than a city ...
these days.
It is a symbol of resistance.
We are the last line of defense and we have the truth with us.
friends,
comrades ...
Neither Hitler nor Mussolini are able threaten our hope.
Our rifles are loaded with justice
Manolo, go home! Run!
I don't know where he is. Come on, hurry!
The planes are coming!
The fight is not only for us and our children.
We fight for the souls of all free men and women in this world.
Madrid has endured for more than 18 months
Madrid has no fear! It will be the tomb of fascism!
They shall not pass!
You have just heard Justo Calderón live from Madrid.
Manuela!
Justo!
This is not the best time.
And what time would be good, woman? It's our anniversary!
Fucking Nazis!
See ...
The 5th column will try to stop the rebels in this area.
And then ...
They are attacking again! Thus, we will die!
My goodness! We will die, I do not want this!
These are the enemies surrounding all Madrid
and only we are defending Europe.
Where is Father?
Father ...
We will be up north ...
preparing for the defense of Campus.
If all goes well ...
That is another story.
I am leaving some documents ...
Keep them in my office safe. Of course.
Manuela will move step by step ...
Tread joyous on the field of battles.
"Sing softly for love and loudly for liberty ... "
"For Spain who suffers, you must come without thinking. "
"For in this the best of cities, blood flows like water. "
No companion falls in vain. For the future will be ours!
"Today Madrid was bombed three times ..."
-Go! "The casualties are not known..."
Good morning, Mr. Muñoz. "Oh, you're here.
I thought ...
war, I'm sorry.
Good morning, Ms. Calderon.
What? You've changed?
I lost everything!
Bombs! from the air! And now I'm on the street.
A 2000-pound bomb fell in Puerta del Sol ..
I would ask you ...
If ...
Could I leave my things in the office?
Only for a few days.
Of course, no problem.
You could live here. There is room enough.
Thank you very much.
We will not move anything.
You can fully rely on us.
All right, Peter.
"In the lands of Castile ..."
"In the lands of Madrid ..."
"Prisoners in chains ..."
Vamos, vamos! Forward
Hello, Jaime! Hello.
Our positions are consolidated.
Which allows us to send a battalion support the 46th Division tomorrow.
"We will go back to Teruel ..."
"friend by friend, move forward."
Step by step.
Justo, are you?
Shall we dance?
I?
And this dress?
For you to take.
For me to take ...
Love, have you seen my wool shirts?
Never find anything!
Have you looked in your grandmother's dresser?
What is this? My books of law, Manuela!
My brother takes my books to teach, to understand ...
but you're using them to light the fire, this is too much!
-I shall die of cold? No, dammit!
Use chairs scattered throughout the house, that burns rather than paper.
books cost money my love.
And only the fascists burn books, the dogs.
Well I must be a Fascist, that is ...
I am cold.
Want a pear?
Our ...
Sometimes everyone seems to have lost their mind.
And you fight so much for ideals
you seem to be losing your sense of humor. -Yes.
Wow!
Come ...
Listen.
The "nationalists" have taken back Teruel.
They will soon be pressing on Madrid.
Paloma, I want you to flee while Valencia Road is open ...
I can get a car and coupons for gasoline.
What we need is coal.
My love, listen, it is important ...
we will ... We will see about it tommorrow?
Hello, sister!
Take care of him. You are joking.
He is the hero. He takes care of everybody.
Enter it's cold.
Holding hands. Of course.
"Sing to love in a low voice ..."
"and cry for freedom!"
Go inside it is cold!
Will it take long to go to Guadalajara?
Can we go back and forth in a day?
Of course, sir.
Well, let's see what we have here.
This is what we have.
It does not seem so clear.
You will need this.
Are we ready? Yes.
So come on!
Up your ass
Murderers! You bastards!
wuss! Bandit-pig
Sons of bitches! Face the sun ..."
"with the new shirt ..."
Sing, galician!
"Who has wine, wine who has ..."
"Who has wine gives me a little! "
"Who has not,"
"let him go quickly find a bottle"
We never drink water, let ..."
, "
"lets go"
Again
We never drink water, lets run ..."
"lets go ..." A dog is coming
A doggy fascist! Only in Spain!
frank and free
Look! The puppy has a message ...
What a bunch of pussies! They send a dog
What the hell do these sons of bitches want?
They are asking for cigarettes.
We dynamite their pussies!
Where are the cigarettes that Americans gave us?
And wine of La Rioja ...
And food to indulge in!
Come over here, "baby killers"! you won't regret it!
Its unfortunate
Are you ready? Almost.
Martin has arrived.
My sister and I have a bath at our house.
Tomorrow I will take you. Not sure Manuela will be too happy!
fucking bastards!
I gave a small gift to your sister ...
and every night she thanks me!
We'll stick it up your ass, you bastards!
I'll see you next Wednesday, Pilar. By.
I am not married to lead the life of a nun.
I miss Francisco.
I'm going to follow him. You are crazy!?
It is very risky. Crossing between the two sides
Where are you going, Paloma? Can I play with you?
Do they sell something other than chickpeas here?
Have you spoken with Francisco?
He is in Burgos, with Franco.
Manuela, I'm going ...
I can not stay in Madrid Every day is worse.
This is crazy, Pilar.
I can not wait Why not?
He'll get another woman.
Men are weak. They try their luck.
Lucky for what, Aunt Pilar?
Have you ever will? -Yes, I'm in a hurry.
But you're great!
And I am strong! Just like Dad.
Good morning, I have a message to give to Ms. Calderon.
Good morning, Dona Pilar! Good morning, Concha.
There is bread at "Puerta del Sol",
but they're not opened yet
It's a short walk, I prefer to go alone.
Okay, but remember to look in at home.
Okay, bye.
Every day you are more beautiful, Paloma. You are like a dream.
You look Increasingly beautiful, dear.
Join us for dinner tomorrow? Of course.
Goodbye.
Two more minutes and you're ready.
Am I pretty? You are beautiful!
Mom, can I go to the house of Carmen? Yes, but do not wait, daughter.
I remember most of the war every day.
I was not afraid ... I do not remember having been afraid.
Daughter!
The Krueber cannons of the fascists had a sound as sharp as...
the doctor's needle, during my last vacination.
She's dead.
Paco, call a doctor!
This was the music of children trapped in our Madrid.
Dad spoke on the radio of fighting and victory.
And I did not hear the noise of bombs while Mama sang.
I'll be alone in Paris?
You'll be safe.
I don't even know French.
And if you sang? This you can do very well.
You will not get rid of me so easily. Take care.
My life is here.
This country.
We can not go back, everything is organized.
Martin will take us to France. He's even found us a place to live.
We can not lose this opportunity. Things have been going wrong lately ...
Exactly ...
Paloma is starving. We must go, for God's sake!
For God? Yes.
No.
I thought it through and I'll stay! Listen.
If Madrid falls, I will not have you die. The wife of an anarchist.
If I die I die with you.
Listen.
I'm not talking about death.
I'm talking about life.
I do not want to live without you.
Please ...
I need you alive!
Hey, be careful!
Pilar!
Pilar
If they touch me, I will kill them, you hear?
I will kill ... Leave it, Pillar ...
And when you are done talking with them, will they no longer desire to destroy anything?
They will destroy everything, Manuela.
Everything. Just think about it.
You can not stay here.
If you need help, talk to Justo. Justo help me?
His brother's wife a Phalangist?
Francisco is dead and buried.
And I with him. Trust me.
Who's the boss here?
Calm down lady. We have no boss.
Alfredo! Yes ...
Come see the girl who came.
A safe conduct pass can't you read?
Justo Calderón is your husband?
Justo Calderon the voice of our revolution?
What are you doing here?
In the house of this fascist bitch? I came to get her.
Do you want to betray the trust of the people?
The people have decided. Who are you to oppose them?
She has a clean heart. She does not deserve this.
And the comrades who die every day, do they deserve it?
What would her husband would think if she shot me?
I answer for it.
Make way for the comrades.
If you stay, you'll be taken to headquarters.
She did nothing!
-And you have to leave ... -Let me go ...
What's going on?
Pilar ...!
Pilar ...
No!
Murderers!
Quiet.
They are the "Dawn Brigade" Lady, and they are out of control.
How can you say that? Our war is not the war they fight.
They take the devil inside them.
Pilar!
Our common enemy is fascism.
But our hatred ...
is directed to all those who abuse the name of this revolution
to justify intolerable acts.
Our compass is honor. Never forget it.
Leave the monopoly of lies and cruelty to Franco and his partners.
They shall not pass!
This was now the last newsletter our comrade
Justo Calderón, direct from Madrid.
Tommorrow he will join his comrades of the ...
the 22nd International brigade in front of the Ebro.
The victory is near
See you tomorrow!
Brother ...
You got what you wanted, right?
You have yet another innocent on your conscience.
What are you doing here, traitor?
I had to bury my wife. Pilar had not done anything!
Do not even speak it.
Listen to me.
We did not start this madness, brother.
We all bleed
but we are not even left tears, everything is gone.
So go complain to Franco!
I'll kill you!
Shoot.
If not you, some other fascist gets me.
You are my brother ...
and you killed my wife.
See you on the battlefield, brother.
Justo!
My father left for three days but was gone four months
I did not hear his voice.
Teruel had fallen again.
The siege of Madrid tightened.
And despite the courage international brigades ...
Franco had managed cut the country in two.
Morale fell faster than men.
In ...
...
fe ...
sa ...
defense ...
Madrid.
Everyone in the defense of Madrid!
Well!
She knows she is one of my best students?
Please do not cry, that does not help anything.
No, no, no. Where you going?
Then, after ...
She has not yet finished her lesson.
I'm trying to tune but ...
"Echague's corps is almost captured ..."
"... Retrieve the Spanish land"
Dad!
"Our army has taken 4,000 men prisoner ..."
"Gradually we will move forward ..." I do not understand anything ...
They took 4,000 prisoners ...
"We are full of hope."
"They shall not pass"
"This is Justo Calderon direct ..."
Attention, Justo! We must celebrate!
A glass of wine?
You're pregnant ...
We'll finish the bottle today.
I don't want to save it.
Women and wine. What more could a man ask for?
Paloma you are my life, but you're like a hungry lion!
You are so skinny.
You must be nice to your uncle Luis.
I can taste a little wine? No.
Can not prove.
I want to go to the movies ...
to celebrate? Yes!
That's all right, I've finished my lesson with Shell.
I want to travel!
A doctor, please! Uncle Luis,
Medic! Where's a doctor!?
They're all at the front
And Mr. Martinez?
It was nothing.
Only bleeding.
The building!
Have you seen Luis Concha?
Mr. Martinez, have you seen my uncle Luis?
They might be alive under the rubble.
Luis!
Luis! Concha!
We need more people, it may collapse at any time.
Paloma!
I am looking for Uncle Luis.
Paloma!
Madam, do not ...
Paloma!
Yuri, what is it? Are you afraid de Yagüe and his Moors?
Are you afraid of the fascists with their new air defense?
You don't want to provoke the Condor legion into shooting at you!
Leave me alone! You bastards!
What's wrong?
Marc Le Prince?
Justo Calderón, my friend!
What are you doing here?
Are you going to Madrid? I do not know anything about my family.
We have a plane. If you want, I'll take you to Madrid.
The pilot?
It is my wife. Magdalena.
Leni.
Lenin? The Communist ...
Jaime ...
What are you waiting for. Prepare the plane.
Oh my God
They say his whole family died!
Mother of God no!
Dad, you're back! My sweetheart!
Mr. Augusto, lost your keys?
My love.
Where's Mommy?
Daddy when we win the war.
We'll eat chocolate every day!
And go to the circus and see the magic.
It's working ... How did he do it?
Well name him ...
Rafael ... The name of the poet.
The name of an angel.
My friends ...
If there were more of us
or we were better trained
or had better weapons, ...
You are the bravest of all, Dad.
You can fight against Franco and Hitler by yourself.
I know.
As long as I can hold these two, I can.
Sanchez was here two times last week.
I did not know what to say.
Let's move the case to Dr. Borrell who knows it very well ...
And everyone else will quit bothering.
Do you think ...
to close the office forever?
Do not worry,
I have spoken to the bank so they'll continue paying your salary.
There is no reason to have problems. Thank you, Mr. Justo.
As always you think of everything.
I wanted to tell you ...
I'm just a lowly secretary,
with respect to your wife and daughter, I assure you Mr. Justo
I will do everything possible for them.
Trust me.
Thank you very much.
You should be showing your works in Paris and not in the trenches.
You are very talented my brother.
I should have made Manuela, leave Madrid ...
I had no strength to pursue it and Now the trap closed.
And now I can not do anything.
I never thought that the French would close the border?
President Daladier is a coward.
Will you leave again?
Yes
I should be in Barcelona on Tuesday.
Does she know?
I thought to tell her tonight.
Could you give her this letter?
I can not come back.
The future is with us, Justo.
Return to us.
If we lose the war, Luis,
there is no future for people like us.
Like a hike in the woods.
flying on a magic carpet.
Oh, Justo ...
Life is so easy when are together.
Do you know how much is at stake?
Our lives
the lives of our children.
When will you go?
A lot of people,
of all parties are trying to ...
stop these animals who wish destroy all that is good.
We will not be alone in this war.
My love ...
Chiquitita, Chiquitita, please.
My love ...
I can not leave.
See, I can not give up. I'll follow to the end.
Please.
Please ...
Hello!
This is the house of comrade Calderon?
Who would you like? The comrade.
We need him.
Wait here.
A second ... I'm coming.
Your name?
This is an example ...
A real example.
All you say is noble and right.
I can not take anymore.
I'm not a soldier, Justo. I'm your wife.
My love, wait. Wait?
Always wait.
What kind of war is it for me?
If you go away, you'll fade from my mind.
If so,
it is better to forget me.
"Nothing lasts forever, Manuela. Do not forget."
"I think of your skin, so smooth."
"In the curves of your hips and toes your feet that move alone. "
"Come,"
"come on ..."
"I want to kiss your neck."
"I want to be unarmed and naked and be innocent again. "
"My kisses descend cheeks ..."
"until they reach your ears that rests on my heart. "
Can not you hurry?
Patience has limits! Mine too!
Every day the same thing. You go there and the rest be damned!
What? Do not make a mess!
Also she lets the water run for hours.
True ...
We have to deprive ourselves of everything
And I do not deprive myself of anything?
I have 2 children and you are occupying all the house.
You all know that this is my house!
You leaving?
Pay attention, dear ...
Mother has one thing to do.
Take care of your brother, right? Until mother comes back.
I want to see General Posaz.
Permit.
Sargeant Floreano, accompany her to the General Posaz.
Let's go.
I need to know where is my husband.
Can anyone tell me?
Nobody.
It's the end, ma'am.
Have you tried the Interior Ministry? I came from there.
There is no information. Of course,
Franco is in Barcelona and our government is on the way to Figueres.
On the French border already there are thousands
who have left their weapons and surrendered.
A real disaster.
Maybe your husband left and is now ...
resting quietly in Paris. Never!
Betraying us, just before we are destroyed!
Look, my duty now is to leave Madrid.
You should seek a passport and take a boat.
Do you have a passport?
Thank you, General.
Are those your bottles that are in the hall?
We need them.
Carmen, what's cooking?
Have you succeeded?
Not yet, but I continue to look for him.
See ...
"You want any? It's fresh. No, thanks. And my coffee?
Yes, good coffee ...
Five pesetas.
This is a robbery!
This is what happens when you try to help.
You? Help?
That's a joke, and you are a clown.
"We will not mendacious propaganda ..."
"... following our ..." Is Negrin still president?
"and with the support of our united army ..."
"will fight with all means this imminent danger ..."
You must accept defeat, bastard.
The nationalists can enter Madrid when they want.
I always knew you supported Franco!
Well ..
At least it's clear, now!
They say there will be a world war.
A world war won't affect affect the position of Franco.
Madrid is the end. If you get Madrid, it is everything.
And we're living with this fascist.
We have to negotiate peace, but ...
Reprisals are horrible and much blood has been shed.
You are dreaming, little brother.
Franco wants to win and destroy us. he will not accept conditions.
Negotiations are under way.
General Miaja is forming a defense counsel without Negrín.
That! And you are destroying?
Stupendous! Franco must be very happy!
Proponents of the fight and the riot know where they are?
Huh?
They are already running,
owing everybody money, to Switzerland or wherever, .
Just fight until the end.
Never mind.
Come on, come on, Carmen. You're right.
Best to eat in the hallway.
-Coward! -And you?
Who made your uniform?
Who, Goodbye?
And this light?
This light is expensive
And the rats who do not jump ship ... Sink with it.
Be careful what you say.
You might regret it!
If Dad were here ...
"To this day,"
the Red Army was captured and disarmed. "
"The troops reached national ..."
"the last military objectives."
"The war is over!"
"In all glory ..."
"We won against the red danger that threatened to destroy the Christian foundations ..."
"Religion, family, homeland. "
"we no longer permit that red danger in our country. "
"Forward, Spain!" Forward
Viva Spain! Viva!
"Long live Spain! Viva! "
Sorry ... Are these the lists of the dead?
My son is not listed!
Could look for me?
Justo Calderón.
Nothing.
Your husband?
Uncle Luis?
Where is Luis-Alvares? The plaza!
Luis!
Manuela! Luis!
Manuela, I'm here! Manuela!
The right ...
I am innocent!
I'm innocent, Let me go!
Did they beat you?
You must bring me the capsules!
Morphine ...
I'm afraid of torture!
I'll get you out! Be careful with that damn Munõz!
I'm sure it was him!
He's a big son of a bitch and a hypocrite!
Muñoz? Pedro Muñoz ...
It was him, Manuela.
Back off, lady, you can not be here.
What are you being accused of?
Manuela, beware!
The son of Muñoz returned, and lacks an arm the same as my doll Lili ...
My mom is very sad.
Hopefully Dad will come back soon.
Please Lord, if it is without arms or legs, fine.
We will be happy and they will grow again.
How is it possible?
It's simple.
The new government expropriated the assets of your husband and I bought everything.
Now I am the owner of this apartment.
And if my husband comes back?
Well ..
He has lost all his rights but rest assured.
You helped my parents and I do not want to put you on the street.
Just pay the rent
and you can live here.
Rent?
I can rent for each room 80 pesetas each.
Just get out of the office of your husband and live in my father's former office.
How much?
Fifty. It seems reasonable.
Where will I get so much money?
Think I can change my old money the new?
I have nothing.
If you want, I can get you a job.
I suppose you've reached an agreement.
A proposal so generous is difficult to refuse.
My son had a lot of trouble.
But now, thank God, everything he touches turns to gold.
I am moved by all you have done for me.
And not surprisingly ...
The father sent my brother to jail ...
and the child steals my house.
Ungrateful.
We ...
Lady ...
Want something ...
I can not bring a basket for him?
It's not worth it.
I said that he is not here ...
Your brother was transferred to the other group.
What group? B court ...
Go home and pray for him. God will help you.
Do you know where they were taken?
Point ... Fire
Tell me. What do you see?
A man is on the beach.
Yes, it's a beach.
What man? Its!
My brother?
Stay with God!
Everything in this world ...
is a lie.
There only thing that's not false...
Is death.
Justo For ...
Justo ...
Is Dad dead as well as Uncle Luis?
And will the policemen come to arrest us?
Come here, baby.
Dad will not ever die.
As long as we think of him, alive.
Ms. Calderón?
Sit down please.
Tell me when you had ...
the last contact with your husband.
It was on June 10, 1938.
Have you come in contact with him since then?
Unfortunately, no.
I sent for you to be informed that on May 02, 1939
the military court in Madrid sentenced your husband.
in absentia, on charges of espionage and armed insurrection
And we must inform you that you can not have kind of contact with him,
under the penalty of severe reprisals.
I repeat my question.
When you last time you saw your husband?
So you know he's alive?
How many times have you been told not play here!?
This is a place of work. I do not want to see you here tomorrow.
Mrs Calderon is here? Yes, sir!
Paloma!
Dad?
Justo, are you?
Manuela.
Come!
You okay?
I was unable to save Pilar. Manuela.
There were also monsters between us.
Justo killed her!
He hated his own brother, Francisco?
Neither he, nor anyone else could stop that bleeding.
I loved my brother with all my heart.
All his luck ran out.
Without the presence of a judge.
Luis is dead? Yes!
I do not even know where is buried.
They were all filled with hatred.
He was convicted of crimes he never committed.
He was not that bad for a fly ...
This is crazy!
The war has ended, Manuela. Not for Justo.
But for you, yes! Not until I know where he is.
"I wrote to those camps"
"where the French put the the Spaniards. "
"I would rather know that he was in Paris "
"or even in Russia"
"between Valéry and Dostoyevsky."
This is the minimum wage that the union receives in our factory ...
Union?
You see these blouses, boss?
This stuff is very bad.
The sleeves are not cut as they should ...
I have to change these blouses because lines cuts are not correct.
Did the boss change our patterns?
These patterns are correct
are correct, but please ... Give me
Prove ...
I am always the culprit
I am a professional! I do my job.
Dona Manuela ...
Beautiful ...
and brave as ever.
work day and night and ruining my eyes for a starvation salary!
It is absurd. I still have not gotten the rent paid ...
I could easily rent you my office ...
In return for some some consideration
you could be on the street, Manuela.
Of course ...
Shadenfreude
is a profitable business.
I was just trying to help.
It is in your hands.
How well do you know ...
Do not touch me!
I'll be back on Monday. Okay.
Is there condensed milk?
It's gone now, not until next week.
As for magazines?
You know the magazines are prohibited ...
It costs a bundle to bring them.
Four ...
Six, seven, thirteen ...
Thirteen hundred and fifty ...
One, two, three, four, six ...
Six more ...
Mom, this is what's missing ...
They will increase the rent.
But it was warm last month?
It's missing ...
Is what was missing?
How's the boy?
Well, he is strong like his father.
You work in the ministry of information.
Do not say you can not do anything.
What you want is impossible.
Franco never forgave a man sentenced to death.
Toma!
She's called Lili, she is imported from America.
I'll pay you 1 hard.
she's worth more than that
Think about yourself, Manuela ...
"It's the only piece of ..." It also cuts me to the soul ...
But we're alive.
It is for my daughter. It is done!
Paloma, come here!
See, I sold Lili. I thought she was not worth much.
Return it. I work and provide for us.
Do not make your mother ashamed
It will not happen again!
What are they doing with little Rafael? Each day takes longer.
Nothing, honey.
They are lowering the fever and getting him healed.
They are giving him the latest German pharmaceuticals.
Soon he will be healthy...
What do you think tonight wetting our bread in olive oil?
Mrs. Calderón? Yes, I am. Where is Rafael?
Come with me please. She must wait.
No, I want my son. Where is he?
Follow me, please.
No!
I increased her dose of morphine.
With this she will sleep well until tomorrow.
Three doses of morphine in one day seems a bit exaggerated ...
No, sir, she was agitated ...
It was needed to calm her down. All right.
At last you have arrived!
Looking good!
Excellent.
The children ask for you.
Rafael is always hungry.
He only thinks of eating.
Come here ...
My Justo!
I've missed you so much.
You can not be buried yet.
There are many dead and they pile up.
Do not worry. There will be one little place left in the cemetery.
We wait.
And we can pass more time together.
Do you know of the good things in heaven?
There are fascists
But there are also elephants, giraffes, bears ...
And pretty things as well.
It has chocolate, a lot of chocolate!
Paloma can not continue living in this hole with no windows.
In my house it will be much better.
I got chess board for her.
She plays very well.
She has learned a lot.
What you talking about?
I got a room for Paloma and you.
You will feel right at home.
But you'll be there.
I do not know what you're thinking, but use your head.
Please take me home.
I want to be with my daughter.
I still have no husband.
Manuela ...
I want two tickets to Paris.
Paris in France?
I know of no Paris in Spain.
But they are at war ... I did not ask.
Why can no one do what I ask? The Germans closed the border.
France is on the border.
What happened? A fat-fascist insulted my mother.
Give me a shot of morphine, please.
You know very well that I can't do that.
Just one.
My head is killing me.
Rest now, I'll be back in a second.
Good morning, Miss. Methu. You fell?
It was last Monday. Bye.
I made a deal with the shirts and got some groceries.
Do not make so much noise.
My head hurts.
"I want to sleep, Justo."
"all night."
"If I could spend a night in your arms "
"That is my dream."
"Justo sometimes, I hate you ..."
"I hate you for not being with me and I hate myself for being so selfish ..."
"we both need you"
"I am nothing without you."
"I imagine the beach bare and cold. "
"Do not sleep yet, my love."
"Do not let the sea take you ... Do not sink ..."
Stupid!
Be careful.
Take care, Justo.
Take care
"It does not matter if the snow covers the grass..."
"Whatever happens, water still runs."
"Just to follow you is reason enough"
"There is room for me in your silence. "
Mom.
Mom!
He forgot me.
I can not go back to see him.
It makes no difference.
Do not touch me!
I tried to do something but she has sitting there for two hours.
She is disoriented.
She asked to take her to France nonstop.
But this tram only goes to Cuatro Caminos. Paloma, come on!
Wait for me here, girl.
France? Well, I would.
Manuela.
What are you doing here?
Where you going?
Looking for Justo.
Justo is not here and will not come back.
You can dream of another world but this one will always be here.
Justo is not here, but we are!
No!
Open it right now.
It's for your own good, Manuela.
You must stop destroying yourself. Let me take care of you.
You can not continue like this.
It's for her life.
She needs you.
You are in bad company.
Do you think you are not entitled to a better life?
Manuela ...
I can not do anything ...
Not even ...
"There is the danger of snipers ..."
Wake up everyone! The Allies won the war!
And there will be peace.
Cheer up ...!
-I look like a scarecrow! -Yeah, you look like an old woman.
Just kidding, you are very beautiful.
I had to copy 100 times: "Franco is our savior of Spain "this afternoon
Grounded again?
No, I was turned into a Franquista.
Turned into a Franquista? What are you talking about?
It's that I began to scream "Long live freedom!"
and did not realize that the director was ...
-... ago. -Your father would be proud of you.
Francisco, he is alive!
He is in France, look.
I was told.
He is in the Argelès camp. The Red Cross delivered the letter.
A letter of six years old does not represent anything.
For me it changes everything.
Come with me to France to look for him.
Justo was in the Algiers in 1940,
since then many things have happened with the Spanish refugees.
It is not enough, Manuela.
I know, but perhaps a labor camp in Germany.
If I'm in France I may catch wind of him.
Hitler did not forgive these people.
He is equal to his friend Franco.
Franco? He brought peace to this country that was a mess!
And not ...
He is not our friend, he betrayed the Phalangists.
We dreamt of another Spain. I also had dreams.
You dreamt while you went on killing.
No matter your war, nor your peace, Francisco.
He is my man and this is my life.
I know he's alive and I'll find him with or without your help.
No, wait ... Wait!
Let's try with this photo,
but the wave of refugees to France does not facilitate things.
Thousands.
The Germans began to put a little order it, but of course ...
Unfortunately that served for nothing.
So those who were ...
in internment camps in France, during 1939?
400,000 Spaniards crossed the border in 1939.
Nobody knows how many were in the the camps, the numbers vary ...
Many are listed in French army?
Yes ..
Many who thought that they would kill Franco, attempted to kill Hitler.
But of course ... it did not work ...
But the Spanish tanks of the Division Leclerc
were the first to reach Paris.
Are you sure he did not go to Mexico?
Many Republicans did.
Never!
He would never be so far from us!
Where did you get this?
It is an article on the Republican refugees in France.
Pictured is a man who looks like your father.
Who could give us more information?
Jaime? Do you remember James?
No. ..
He was always with your father.
I always wonder if he was not also sentenced to death.
Rita Haiworth.
Que linda!
See, Mom.
She is especially beloved by men. Ready
The Americans have good taste.
I am not surprised that they won the war.
"held the 5th round great cycling in Spain, "
"the public's curiosity to see from "
"the pedal to aces travel to Spain ..."
"... in noble effort worthy sports the greatest progress. "
"The Seventh Armored Division the allied army, "
"freed the 6,500 prisoners that were in a German camp. "
"Fifteen nations were represented among the hostages who were present. "
"The prisoners raised their arms as a symbol of victory. "
"... and others express ..." Is it him?
The man on the left.
he's there, look!
No more, Mom.
I'm sure!
you're seeing ghosts.
Paloma is right.
What do you think we go to dinner after?
"... on medium wave stations installed the Secretary of popular education. "
Quick, come here!
I found him!
Where?
Those are soldiers ...
No prisoners!
Survivors of a field camp.
Do you recognize him?
Number 5602.
Don't you recognize him?
It looks like him.
It is a very old photograph.
It is not him ...
Yes, it is.
I know.
According to my research neither Justo nor any other Calderón
was in this concentration camp.
And did you look-up number 5602?
He is Antonio Modesto.
He was released in June 1945
and taken to a sanatorium in Switzerland. That is all we know.
Switzerland should know something more.
Okay, suppose this is Justo.
What if he has no interest in being found?
He must have some reason for not having given signs of life.
And you are sure of that?
I will go, Francisco.
Wait till they open the borders.
It's just a matter of months.
Listen ...
If you wait I'll take care everything. I swear.
You can travel legally when I get the documents.
Please do not go.
I do not want you to break all ties with this country.
And if not ...
Or you don't find him,
or if you need to return,
I'll be here waiting.
Thanks for everything.
October in the sun!
December housed!
Jaime, are you?
There was combined with such a of Sigismund.
I did not know if I could get close to you, considering who you're walking with.
Say ...
living with a Phalangist. Echoing Justo, like always
I will not explain myself to you or anyone else.
Sorry.
Come with me.
Okay?
Where's Justo. I was not with him when he fell.
He was in one of those German camps, Manuela,
but they could not finish him off.
I saw him and he is well.
I've put our lives at risk coming here.
For some time I wanted meet you.
We can not rely anyone.
They'll not hesitate to kill everyone.
We fell like flies on both sides of the border.
Alive?
Yes .. And safe.
For now.
Here ...
He sent this letter to you.
Good-bye, Manuela.
And may you have good luck!
Hope to see you again.
And I hope that someday ...
we wake up from this nightmare.
Dad's message was short and had been written many times before.
"I've been waiting at the station Cerbère every day for two months."
"since the first day they opened the borders"
"I've expected you in every season and have waiting outside every train ..."
"I know that ultimately we will be back together."
"I know someday that will be possible."
On January 02 1949 they opened the borders ...
And Uncle Francisco in managed to obtain documents.
Now I know what it meant to him.
Perhaps he never hated anyone because of the color of his uniform.
What are you thinking?
How beautiful you are, daughter.
Tall and slender, like my mother.
For four days, we spoke of France as the promised land.
To love softly and scream for freedom.
Good morning.
Documents.
Thank you.
Looking for someone? No, sir.
I know people here, Comrades ...
Perhaps they could help.
Comrades?
I do not know who is speaking.
Do not be afraid. There are many of us. So we're easier to find.
We are well ...
We do not need help!
We are looking for work!
If you need me to help you look. I'll be here.
I have helped many people ...
I don't wonder why your father did not go to the station.
It's full of rats.
Here at last!
Paloma!
Is it you?
Where is your brother?
Where is Rafael?
Is he hiding? Is he afraid of me?
Rafael?
Rafael!
The Spain you knew no longer exists.
Franco despises life.
In 10 years he's destroyed everything.
Manuela.
Franco has always despised my life.
They are finally here!
Good trip?
Long and difficult.
I present Manuela.
I am Lenin.
It's better than my real name.
She works in the marketplace.
Does she live here? No.
I just came to get you.
Come on, come on.
Let me get it, Paloma.
It is too heavy for you.
Do not you recognize me?
You're Russian? No, German, do not you? ...
I thought they had lost the war
Her husband was in this region, he died for France.
And she decided to stay.
Do not tell all my secrets!
I think you can both be happy here
because we share ...
so much sadness and joy.
With great honor, of course.
Goodbye. Good night.
Thanks, Lenin.
Good evening, miss.
It is the only room?
Yes
And where do I sleep?
You can sleep there.
I'll get a mattress.
I have food, if you want.
No, I just want to sleep.
Give me a kiss, honey.
Come.
I will serve dinner...
Sit down, please.
It is the most beautiful table I've ever seen.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He never even met his father.
A part of us died forever, but ...
he is the one that never dies ...
Manuela.
It is true that you still love me?
I love you.
Yes ..
I love you.
Good morning. Morales, right?
He did not take his stuff out of my basement.
Shitty Spanish only attract problems.
I do not like them.
Either he moves his shit out of my basement or I'll throw him out into the street.
Do you want money?
He did not pay the rent?
She does not speak French? Who are you?
I'm Mrs. Morales.
I do not believe ...
Bye!
Morales?
Sounds good, Paloma Morales. What do you think?
It will not be enough.
I can get more, do not worry.
This stuff sticks and burns.
The proletariat, friend.
Speaking of the people is not the same as belonging to the people.
Holy shit!
Let's put a candle.
No way, I promised I'd never set foot in a church.
I have a promise to fulfill.
This can wait. In this case, no.
You stay here!
Is this your daughter?
She'll be beautiful!
My name is Marie, and you?
Paloma.
Hello, Paloma.
Your dress is beautiful.
I customized it.
You sew?
Me too.
This is for you to buy flowers.
A bouquet? Yes.
Good?
Yes, original civil aviation.
Thank you.
Your anarchists are good company?
They are very elegant ladies.
But very difficult to handle. Appearances can be deceiving.
If the Mayor sees this "visón" he will die of envy.
I must go back to my puree, gossip!
Luciene. Hello.
Good morning.
Let us sit here?
Hello, Yves.
Wow!
I brought a cake freshly ...
You can have a little... Your hair!
Why?
Burn!
It is the mustard!
Be on guard.
At home there's more ...
have any bottles of Château Figeac?
not brought me ...
Hands off!
What a puree!
My husband always ate mine, even when there was something else.
They rent a house on Venus Street, know the owner?
Not satisfied with the "cache"?
The old Touchet is giving us shit because of the basement.
Be careful. We can not allow ...
You okay?
To your health, Mrs. Morales.
To our new life!
Bon appetit!
What?
I'm watching you.
How many times have I thought of you sleeping.
I saw you breathing in my imagination and that reassured me.
Sometimes I struggled to stay awake until I could listen no more. I was very nervous.
I wanted to see you snoring to calm down.
What should I do?
It seems that I must snore to make you happy.
The sleep ...
The classes are full.
I can not accept a student who can't even speak French fluently.
I have the right to education.
I want to learn!
I need to learn!
Sorry. It was nothing.
It is best to let her apprentice until she gets married.
A girl so beautiful
should not have trouble finding a handsome suitor.
You could have defended me!
You wanted me to stick a knife in his neck?
You were a lawyer, you should be good with words.
No wonder you lost the war.
"GENERAL STRIKE"
"All Independence and freedom for Spain. "
Paloma!
Paloma, what?
Paloma!
Paloma, what is it!?
Okay, okay ...
Mom ...
Hello! Okay?
He was shot in the arm while crossing the mountains.
It was nothing. They never even saw me.
They were firing at random. I was unlucky.
I left the car in Banyoles near Girona.
It broke my heart, but I had to do it.
On the way, it was over-heating.
Are any of our people in Barcelona?
No one was left alive. But in Galicia some got away.
There is no bullet ...
It only grazed him. And so no one dies.
Anyway, we must recover that car as soon as possible.
And your family has arrived?
Yes, they've arrived.
But they are out of all this. So continue.
Arise!
Pay Attention!
Can not you see anything!
Ladies, beware! Yes, okay.
What a looker ... What a fox...
My goodness! And what elegance!
Sorry, I did not see you.
I got the new buttons for your shirt.
Good morning, Paloma.
Okay, Paloma?
Hello, good morning.
You are behind on your payment.
What payment? We've waited all day here.
Justo!
I have a surprise for you. What?
Here, sign up!
The luxury cruise has docked!
We can start our new life. I do not believe it!
Are you crazy?
Don't you see me go to the factory every morning?
Do not know how difficult it is to make money?
Are you aware of what this madness will cost?
Sorry.
Sorry for everything.
I'm an idiot.
No, silly me.
Sorry.
It would have been better to have spent it on more useful things.
Listen ...
All you are doing, is very good.
I thought it was like.
It is so soft?
It's just like a pile of straw.
I lost the habit of sleeping good in bed ...
And of good things.
But I'll get it back.
Games ...
I felt so badly that these years.
I'm glad you kept it.
If you want I can teach you to play.
Thanks, I already know.
I learned this board game by myself.
I wanted to play with you.
So I learned.
Let's see if you can beat me.
Hermano needs at least 15 days to complete the new typesetting plates.
It's almost done, but I can not start printing until I get them.
I'll need 70 thousand to distribute and at least 20 thousand to hide.
I found a perfect hiding place: The house of a widow of the war.
Is she attractive?
As attractive as Franco.
The comrades in Spain are organizing a general strike.
I propose to make one million available. Who's in favor?
We are at war, Lucienne. A strike does not matter to Franco.
Why that ugly face!
I could work ...
and take this burden from you. No way.
I could sew like I did in Madrid. No way.
Why?
Because you're being next to me is the only thing I want.
We'll never agree.
True.
Take a look ...
I caught a star.
Here, it is for you.
Where is your sexy star.
Give me a son.
We could be so happy!
With your ears and my intelligence ...
A child? You will not?
Wow, Justo ...
I am so eager to carry a child in my womb.
Make me a child. A boy who looks like you.
Right now!
Let's see if they are better than the 50.
Counterfeit money will not stop that bastard.
This will work better.
Can I help? It is dangerous, it's already mixed.
Paloma.
Paloma!
Can't I write to my uncle?
You've written before? Yes.
I keep my promises.
You give our address to a fascist.
Without him I would not be here.
He helped us when you were not there. Look ... I wonder.
I forbid you ...
to write to any person without my consent.
And in the future ...
I'll write to anyone, anytime. We are in France, the country of freedom!
"Onward, sons of the homeland,"
"the day of glory has arrived!"
"Face the sun with a new shirt, which was embroidered in red yesterday ... "
I'd rather be dead with Rafael.
You should not move your arm.
This jacket should help.
Think you'll able to travel with this arm?
I do not walk with my hands.
He could go alone.
Who Franchiute?
Can you find a car in Catalonia?
Come on, Justo, don't kid me ...
I grew up there ...
and I know each hard stone and every idiot policeman.
Do you also knows how to cut patterns?
In Madrid they would not let us cut patterns.
All of them were counted to keep us from stealing.
I'll teach you. I learned in Paris with Poiré.
Sit down, Paloma. I want to talk to you,
Not today.
Tomorrow I get up early.
Good night. I love you!
Can not sleep?
Does it hurt?
Seems worse than it is.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I was washing. In the middle of the night?
They would not let us wash. Nor let us have a mirror to shave.
Since then I do everything in the dark.
So ...
About the camp ...
Tell me.
I do not remember.
I do.
I saw the photos.
Actually,
in my head ...
never been there.
Let's go to bed.
We ...
This is from a silk parachute!
Marie had the idea to use it to make dresses.
The ladies of high society were killed by them.
The same one's who ignored us when we came here.
It was Lenin who supplied us.
That "Valkyrie"?
Why are you so unpleasant to her? "Unpleasant"?
Evil, if you prefer. She does not do anything.
I do not like her, that's all.
If it were not for her, your father would not be here today.
She cared for him when he returned from the camps
Even after leaving the hospital he looked ike a corpse.
Her father, Lenin and Marco, her husband, were in the Resistance.
Although they had the same ideology.
Your father survived. Her husband did not return.
It is the motorcyclist Pierre.
So didn't she go back to Paris after the war?
he is coming.
While the man in your life does not rule, you do not want to go back there.
The man in your life?
General De Gaulle.
Is your god on earth.
Are the flight permits ready.
Great, thanks.
What kind of bike is this?
An NSU 250. There fastest thing running around.
Want to take a ride? Yes, of course.
What are you doing? You're not done.
You can not leave just like that!
Police. Here lives Mr. Morales?
No.
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Thank you.
They're looking for you!
What? They're looking for you!
Who is? Franco does not pardon anyone.
If caught, you will be extradited.
Easy, Manuela. I have nothing to fear.
Here I am just a worker.
Let's go home? Yes.
Hello?
Okay.
What?
Go tell Lenin that the house is not safe.
What house? Do what I say.
The papers?
Yes We have to do a cleaning.
Justo is going to kill you for getting the girl into it.
The police were at home. They spoke with Manuela.
How long will she believe this lie?
Women are not stupid.
Did you talk to her? She's just arrived, let her get used to this place.
She's been here two months; To tell her later will be worse.
You did not tell her the truth? No, Lenin. That would kill her.
What will kill her is the lie.
She's suffered enough.
Manuela could not understand.
You underestimate her, Justo.
Paloma, what are you doing? You are crazy!?
Leave me alone! Get out!
Do not cry to me! You're blind and deaf!
Do not yell at me!
And your hubby? Is what?
He is your father and I trust him.
He does not love us, Mom.
What, my love.
I saw him with that "Valkyrie" ...
Oh my little girl ...
The police were at the aerodrome, inventing some lies.
I need a flight permit.
And no one tells me?
I sent the girl.
Does your daughter know? What were you thinking!
Fuck! We have been waiting a long time.
We should have killed him in 1936.
If all we do is keep keep planning, he will die of old age.
True ...
We have to move the explosives to the plane as soon as possible.
I have reports of importance from Galicia.
Franco usually goes fishing in the rivers Ulla and Mandeo
The decision was made some weeks before
For the National Marine Fisheries to arrange to have fish stocked...
and block the river.
I have a friend in ministry who will inform us.
This individual in the ministry Are you sure of him?
Trust me.
Remember Cayetano, Galician?
He recommended places to hide.
"Argelès-sur-Mer ..."
"a camp full of fallen men the well of lost illusions. "
"They won, we lost."
"Knowing that there are other concentration camps they could have sent me to: "
"Buchenwald Mauthausen, Dachau, "
"haus, haus. Come on, circling ..."
"I have nothing to offer you in addition to suffering. "
"I have the right to return with you and I can not leave you. "
"Forgive me, dear."
"My love, you must live!"
"You should know the hell that was."
"Love exists, even when it is tortured. "
Scroll down a little ...
Preparations ...
Now!
The boat of Franco is larger. He does not like wet feet.
And what is the environment like?
Much like here. Valleys and woods.
The three and seven ...
They are to hit.
We should increase the length of the launch tube.
You would have been a great engineer!
We can only one month left and we have much work.
Do not sing victory.
I waited a long time for this man.
and I can not ask for anything different.
I also waited for my man.
I did not do anything but wait and it hurts the soul.
When I realized that Marco was dead
in the beginning I felt relieved.
And when Justo arrived?
He was not fully human.
He was just part of a man....
Even today it cost me a lot to talk about it.
When he smiled, his face was deformed
and it was difficult to recognize it.
Little by little he recovered ...
little by little.
Thank you. Why?
Please return him whole.
He still carries shrapnel in his lung.
A Sabotage that was unsuccessful.
I could not help.
I lost my man and saved another.
But he was not mine.
I would do it all over again.
You're not sleeping?
You need to talk to her.
Your daughter needs you!
How can I have her accept me as a father ...
She saw you with Lenin.
I do not understand what she is looking for.
For me God has always been absent.
I imagine that she is converting to the church.
You need to talk to her otherwise you will lose her.
I knew that she was going to Mass every day.
What's happening is normal at her age.
Why do not you trust me?
For me it has always been a man. I can understand, I'm Paloma.
Life was not as I expected.
Justo, I'm not talking about the past but the present.
I can not stay out of your life.
See ...
Here are all my letters.
They are all for you.
Know who I am and how I came to this, if you care.
Pierre, the explosive is just enough for 7 bombs.
You could talk to Martin. He may have more.
You are crazy! He is rich and cowardly. He won't help us.
Are you all right?
What will I do without you?
Come here, soldier.
It will be OK.
Police. Climb in the car.
Poor Jaime. Where is he being taken.
Wait with Marie and Lucienne.
What? Nothing. Seek his father, run!
Already back?
What is it, dear?
The police took Jaime.
I'm not stupid.
I know something is happening.
You're right.
You must know everything.
Justo said ... He does not know what a daughter he has.
Enough! No need to cry.
Mr. Morales?
He fought for his country, for a free France.
His lungs are full of shrapnel. he has a record with the Resistance.
There are so many who claim to have been in the Resistance ...
He was in Mauthausen.
See ...
There also had common criminals.
In Spain, Franco will kill him. I can not do anything.
In France no one is extradited without trial.
He did not believe anything that I said.
He will be sent to Spain on an armored train and end up like your uncle Luis.
That's what they do.
Her husband was taken the hospital yesterday.
He's at the hospital?
I've died many times.
Calm yourself, today I am not going to die.
Dad ...
Give me your hand.
Save it.
You are very strong daughter.
Why ...
Why tell us nothing of your life?
To whom does it matter?
To me.
Give me a kiss ...
Play ...
See you tomorrow. Bye.
CLOSED FOR VACATION.
The plane is ready.
Go! Paloma and I will finish this.
What is this, Paloma?
Money.
I Love you.
So it burns ...
Three veterans confirmed that he was in the Resistance.
But this passport is not valid in Spain.
He must appear at the police station in one month.
I trust you!
Finished! Come on, let's go ... before they kill me!
We would be millionaires ...
If I had not burned ... What we have is enough.
Manuela, give me the keys. No, I drive.
Are you sure? Yes.
Yes? Of course! Dad ...
That's it ...
I'm ready.
You are not able to go. It endangers the operation.
I'm our Lady of Dynamite, my friend!
Lenin's plane hit a storm in the Galician region ...
But she is still fighting ...
And I also
It was here ...
it all happened.
The beach is so empty ...
Not for me ...
I see each and every one of us.
We were thousands surrounded by by barbed wire.
A compacted human mass.
The cold was terrible.
At night we dug holes in the sand
and we'd bury ourselves in order not to die of cold.
Then with time we built huts.
That was the Puerta del Sol
And there the Hotel Mexico
and there the "Thousand and One Nights"
We played chess to forget the evil of sand.
The evil of sand?
So we called it.
It was a blend of ...
hunger, cold and despair.
We were soldiers and they treated us like bandits.
Nine months.
How was it?
Here there is nothing left.
"I've open a door into the pit of my exile "
"plant a tree,"
"then water it with your tears ..."
"It comes back, returning ..."
"There are other concentration camps... "
"Mauthausen ..."
Beyond the limits ... Beyond the limits...
number "five thousand"
"Six hundred and two."
We were the lowest caste of prisoners of Mauthausen.
Manuela ... I am here.
I do not want my past to bury me.
No one will bury you it will not kill you.
We need you.
Paloma, I and everyone else.
What I want is simple.
I want to be cremated
ashes mixed with the other comrades who have not returned.
Do not think about it, Justo.
I wanted to forget everything my love.
Everything but you.
Mom never returned to Spain.
Her homeland rests with the man who she loved throughout his life.
My father.
Justo.
We need bread for the fish!
"Bread for the fish and paving stones for the ruling class! "
