So Foul a Sky (2021) - full transcript
Under shadows cast by colossal oil refineries, emerging from the desert like chrome cathedrals, SO FOUL A SKY presents a journey through several frontier lands of Venezuela - the world's first petrostate - now shaken by the worst political and humanitarian crisis South America has experienced in the 21st century. While storm clouds gather in the skies, sleepy soldiers patrol the Caribbean Seas, migrants drift through lugubrious border posts between Brazil and Venezuela, and smugglers venture across the hostile Guajira Desert, trafficking the last remaining barrels of embargoed gasoline. All is enveloped by scrambled radio newsreels fired from both sides of the ideological struggle ripping the capital apart. This is a film portraying pirates and pilgrims, orphaned children of a land that they have made their own without planting flags or imposing anthems; anarchic just like the hovering storm clouds threatening to put an end to the limbo all inhabit.
Tell me.
Talk to me.
You...
...mysterious essence.
After all these years...
...creative breath...
...of those who now live.
Whom I see driven by hatred...
...impelled to offer their souls...
...to Death...
...the most profound
homeland of all.
"...congratulations to everyone in the
Venezuelan National Radio channel..."
"...a free society, a society where
the education becomes a right..."
We demand Nicolás Maduro's
withdrawal from power!
"...we've got free, fair, essential,
legal and constitutional elections..."
♪ I want to be an idea... ♪
♪ ...achievable by our people... ♪
♪ ...a harvest of brothers. ♪
Now, If I were to tell you...
...that 20 years ago,
when Chávez got elected...
...our electoral project was not
proclaiming Socialism...
...but a Federal change.
Around 2004 or 2005 Chávez proposes
a 21st century Bolivarian Socialism...
...we are still determined to build.
♪ I am a plan for integration... ♪
♪ Over a such large country... ♪
♪ Even if they want
to break us apart. ♪
[Chávez] Accepting oil can be a
capitalism of State project.
Post-Capitalist.
The slogan is not enough.
Oil must be sown!
But let's sow it within Socialism.
♪ I've chosen independence and... ♪
♪ Sovereignty. ♪
♪ I won't be the slave
of other slaves. ♪
...some nations have
denounced electoral fraud...
...not recognizing Maduro...
[Guaidó] As the President of
Venezuela's National Assembly...
Citing Article 187
from our Constitution...
[Maduro] Now they pretend
to enforce a parallel government.
A government of clowns.
Such a clownish stunt
from the Right wing...
I swear as President of Venezuela...
...and formally
take on the task...
...miserable on how they murder
our youth and our people..."
Go rot in hell!
To the Venezuelan people...
...nobody gives orders!
[Maduro] Donald Trump says...
...that he is thinking on imposing
a quarantine against Venezuela.
No ship comes in or out.
A blockade!
A criminal and illegal threat by Trump...
...of a maritime blockade
against Venezuela.
Venezuela as a whole rejects
Donald Trump's statements!
I say to Donald Trump...
...you won't topple us!
Our seas will be free,
sovereign and independent!
And I will navigate
through them...
Attention to all personnel,
this is a maneuver.

I request we go to TAIRA.
Who are you not hearing?
They are testing communications.
Now they've gone to TAIRA.
I don't know what
they are gonna do now.
You will have to get a
whole radio team behind you!
He should have the life vests organized!
But you got the laundry room keys?
This here makes a huge scene, brother.
On the water...
...a large green stain all over.
The smoke grenade?
Yes, that ink it has.
Now, the angles are next, right?
It's gonna be 20° to 25°, right?
I can't hear anything!
What do you want me to tell you!
What do you do over there?
Do they call you?
Not everyone leaves happy...
There is no money, man!
This thing is tough!
Anyways, they will give us a hard time.
Asking how many days are we staying...
...because there is always
a Brazilian guy who falls in love.
...you got an inflation rate
of nearly one million percent...
[Maduro] Now, I am not denying that
thousands of Venezuelans have left.
I believe 600,000 or 900,000
in a migration over the last years...
What do you want?
A permit.
Where are you traveling?
Boa Vista, Brazil.
What are you gonna do?
Work.
To look for a job?
You can't.
Excuse me?
- You can't.
You got to regularize
your status in the country.
You can't work otherwise.
Can't I work?
Is this your first time coming to Brazil?
Yes.
You can stay for 60 days.
Two months.
Before those two months expire...
...you got to stamp
your exit from Brazil...
...so you don't get fined.
Understood?
The fine for each overdue day is 100R$.
Per day.
OK?
OK...
Talk to me, mother.
And by calling you so...
...I say...
...that no woman has ever been
what you are to me.
Talk to me.
Tell me a single word...
...during these slow days...
...formless days...
...that before you are wielding...
...just like a bitter knife...
...between your own children's hands.

[Guaidó] We are not asking
you to do a coup d'etat.
We are not asking you
to fire your weapons...
We are asking not to shoot us.
Defend with us the right our
people has to be listened and free.
[Maduro] They arrogantly believe
they own our country...
We would never surrender!
What couldn't be done through votes,
we will achieve with our weapons!
We'll liberate our homeland!
Alert!
An exiled Venezuelan Military cell...
...denounces the seizure of
the Presidency by Nicolás Maduro...
...and recognize Juan Guaidó as
their legitimate Commander in Chief.
Nicolás Maduro assured
that if Venezuela...
...sinks into political violence,
it will have to be liberated with weapons.
[Maduro] They are ordering
high ranking Army officers...
...to join their coup!
And of deep respect for our
oath to defend our people.
And to comply with and enforce
the laws of the Republic.
Good morning Venezuela!
...in order to pressure Maduro's exit.
This is an invasion against our land.
...and when you step foot here,
we are coming for you.
[Maduro] How far this madness,
lies, and manipulations will go?
Chancelor, I truly believe...
...there has never been such
a crazy government in the USA.
So much hatred inside them!
Mr. President you are
not answering my question
Is Colombia willing to receive
US troops in its territory?
...yes or no...
I'm talking to you as a
child from a homeland...
...just like any other.
A father like any other.
Voracious Saturn.
A State.
All of them.
[Maduro] Mr. Trump
was erupting with lies...
This week we will have
to buy more barrels.
It is getting hairy over there!
I don’t' think we will
be able to fill them up.
We should even fill our pockets.
Even the teacups and all
at home has to be filled up!
Your Uncle Maduro says...
...there are gasoline reserves
for only twenty days.
Now he is gonna collect signatures...
...and take them to Washington.
Those are signatures from
people gifted CLAP Food Boxes.
[Maduro] Even with the Devil
himself I am ready to talk.
Quito!
Ask if they sell cigarettes over there!
Hurry up!
They don't have any?
What?
Buy... around five!
Or a pack!
Bring a pack!
It is worth 2,000 COP
2,000COP or 3,000COP?
One pack, Quito!
I had loose change over here,
what did I do with it?
Ask for a small pack.
How much is it?
300COP?
Buy a 2,000COP one.
Three, six, nine, twelve...
Three, six, nine, twelve,
fifteen, eighteen,
Three, three... six.
I am calling Alex to check on
today's gasoline price.
It's time to negotiate it.
What's up!?
Tell me today's rates, man!
Fuck...
always with that cheap rate of yours.
Shit, and us here struggling
with our President Maduro...
...just to we give away our gasoline.
Ready?
All right! We are on our way now.
Call you back once I am closer.
Filiponga!
You know he is my spotter.
Done.
Pass me one of those things, man!
Wanna spit some smoke, for fucks sake.
They didn't even have beer!
They are not Lucky Strike,
but even if they are fakes it's all good.
Venezuela's oil reserves are immense,
however they are not being exploited...
PDVSA is refining less than
1 millions barrels per day...
hence, Socialism...
I speak from the frontiers of
a desert which was once a savanna.
A vulture disguised as an eagle.
A severed tree.
Desolate land.
Dry roots.
Without history...
...bronze heroes...
...or colorful flags.
Orphaned from dissonant anthems...
...immortal symbols.
Offspring of the dust and the dew.
Of what is nameless.
Son of a bitch, you are owing me.
You haven't paid me today!
It is broken.
It has to be thrown away.
There is a lot of barrels.
How many are left?
Move the barrels over there, c'mon!
Stack them on this side.
And afterward put them over here.
That load over there.
So there is no barrel mix up.
They shot around like crazy, right?
Tell me!
Yes.
What's up over there?
Let me find out.
There are some soldiers, man.
Soldiers over there, right over there!
Tell Jose to stay alert!
There are soldiers around.
Stay awake on the wheel!
What if they pass by and break in?
I am getting there.
You look like a fool.
Look!
The snake is over there!
Throw it over there!
Saturday, Sunday...
...and today, Monday.
You are leaving this afternoon.
Yes, we can't leave too early
because of the tracks.
What happens to the tracks
in Sinamaica at night?
It is at night!
After 11 a.m the tracks...
So, at the same time we are leaving.
Do we go home and drive
back to Paraguaipoa?
We die in Paraguaipoa!
Did the gasoline price go down?
Did it drop?
It went down a tiny bit, right?
From 15 to 14,000 COP.
Yes! This guy said the same yesterday.
But well...
...the important thing is to sell it,
imagine otherwise...
If we can't sell it...
But we have emptied the
truck which arrived loaded.
Cousin, with those barrels...
Our first one today!
Do you know how much
gasoline I lost yesterday?
One and a half barrels worth of gasoline.
But is it because of the useless excess?
Yes! The useless excess is too much!
Cousin, I tell them not to sell.
Because I only get 20L worth of gasoline
per every 160L barrel we sell.
The thing is that you are a dwarf!
No, that thing is way too low!
Are you gonna have another shot of whiskey?
No, I already drank them all.
Couldn't you sell it?
That gasoline is worth
nothing in Maracaibo...
Don't they pay anything at all?
They fill it out from the gas station.
I think they only pay for
the load from the station.
And over there gasoline is free.
Yesterday I sent nine barrels
and they couldn't sell them.
Our turtle stew is ready!
Go for it!
Grab it!
This sobers you up all at once.
Must be eaten with all its grease...
Good thing those fools haven't come by.
But do they come to fuck around, or what?
To bother us.
To hassle!
One has energy for the
rest of the day after this meal.
You can last for the whole day.
Sober!
It really sobers me up all day long.
Matter of fact, I haven't
slept in the last two days.
What are you talking about!?
You don't eat turtle in Venezuela, right?
No, it's rare.
In Sinamaica you see it, though.
In Sinamaica, but in the sea.
How much is a portion like that?
Over there, if you fished it, you eat it.
But don't they sell it?
You rarely see it for sale.
But, don't you also cook it this way?
It is only at sea when they fish
it, they might sell it.
Do you eat it like this, though?
No.
They stew it...
I had it fried.
Fried is tasty!
Fried is the same as this, stewed!
This turtle is such a banquet, right!?
And the turtle crackling?
Doesn't it lower your blood pressure?
The turtle stew was delicious.
Got me all horny!
Ready to fuck any female passing by!
I speak to you as
the child of a homeland.
As an orphan.
I talk from the depths
of a lake with black water...
...dark bottom...
...muddy sand.
Freed from masks...
...identities...
...and duties.
A pirate furrowing through the air.
Steel giant.
A horse galloping over the waters.
Talk to me.
You...
...mysterious essence.
After all these years...
...creative breath...
...of those who now live.
Whom I see driven by hatred...
...impelled to offer their souls...
...to Death...

It has to be thrown away.
There is a lot of barrels.
How many are left?
Move the barrels over there, c'mon!
Stack them on this side.
And afterward put them over here.
That load over there.
So there is no barrel mix up.
They shot around like crazy, right?
Tell me!
Yes.
What's up over there?
Let me find out.
There are some soldiers, man.
Soldiers over there, right over there!
Tell Jose to stay alert!
There are soldiers around.
Stay awake on the wheel!
What if they pass by and break in?
I am getting there.
You look like a fool.
Look!
The snake is over there!
Throw it over there!
Saturday, Sunday...
...and today, Monday.
You are leaving this afternoon.
Yes, we can't leave too early
because of the tracks.
What happens to the tracks
in Sinamaica at night?
It is at night!
After 11 a.m the tracks...
So, at the same time we are leaving.
Do we go home and drive
back to Paraguaipoa?
We die in Paraguaipoa!
Did the gasoline price go down?
Did it drop?
It went down a tiny bit, right?
From 15 to 14,000 COP.
Yes! This guy said the same yesterday.
But well...
...the important thing is to sell it,
imagine otherwise...
If we can't sell it...
But we have emptied the
truck which arrived loaded.
Cousin, with those barrels...
Our first one today!
Do you know how much
gasoline I lost yesterday?
One and a half barrels worth of gasoline.
But is it because of the useless excess?
Yes! The useless excess is too much!
Cousin, I tell them not to sell.
Because I only get 20L worth of gasoline
per every 160L barrel we sell.
The thing is that you are a dwarf!
No, that thing is way too low!
Are you gonna have another shot of whiskey?
No, I already drank them all.
Couldn't you sell it?
That gasoline is worth
nothing in Maracaibo...
Don't they pay anything at all?
They fill it out from the gas station.
I think they only pay for
the load from the station.
And over there gasoline is free.
Yesterday I sent nine barrels
and they couldn't sell them.
Our turtle stew is ready!
Go for it!
Grab it!
This sobers you up all at once.
Must be eaten with all its grease...
Good thing those fools haven't come by.
But do they come to fuck around, or what?
To bother us.
To hassle!
One has energy for the
rest of the day after this meal.
You can last for the whole day.
Sober!
It really sobers me up all day long.
Matter of fact, I haven't
slept in the last two days.
What are you talking about!?
You don't eat turtle in Venezuela, right?
No, it's rare.
In Sinamaica you see it, though.
In Sinamaica, but in the sea.
How much is a portion like that?
Over there, if you fished it, you eat it.
But don't they sell it?
You rarely see it for sale.
But, don't you also cook it this way?
It is only at sea when they fish
it, they might sell it.
Do you eat it like this, though?
No.
They stew it...
I had it fried.
Fried is tasty!
Fried is the same as this, stewed!
This turtle is such a banquet, right!?
And the turtle crackling?
Doesn't it lower your blood pressure?
The turtle stew was delicious.
Got me all horny!
Ready to fuck any female passing by!
I speak to you as
the child of a homeland.
As an orphan.
I talk from the depths
of a lake with black water...
...dark bottom...
...muddy sand.
Freed from masks...
...identities...
...and duties.
A pirate furrowing through the air.
Steel giant.
A horse galloping over the waters.
