Good morning, Mom.
Good morning, Son
I'm leaving soon.
Which market are you going to?
I'll try Zone 17.
The police kicked us out
yesterday.
- Is Mr. Humberto outside?
- Yes.
- He's waiting. Help me, Son.
- Huh?
Help me.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Put it there.
Thank you.
- Careful, Mom.
- Yes, Son.
You too, be careful.
Change your shirt, it smells
I'll wash it tonight.
Goodbye.
- Mr. Humberto.
- Bye.
Lock the door when you leave.
Let's thank the Lord for this
chance to hear his word.
The question to ask yourself
is what do you think about
the Gospel?
Is it the truth?
We must get closer to God.
Because God loves righteousness.
He loves the man
who truly is sincere with God.
Let's review what God says.
God loves sinners
but he doesn't love...
Thank you.

Park over there, no problem.
Good afternoon,
what would you like?
There's beef and chicken
dobladas.
Chorizo, salami, bacon or hotdog.
Just a little.
- And mayonnaise.
- Mayonnaise.
- A lot of mayonnaise.
- A lot.
Ready
José!
-Here you are. Take it.
- Give me one with everything.
- Everything.
Sure
I'm starting next year.
Really?
Yes.
Cool!
Yes! I'm going to be successful
just like you.
What?
I'm going to be successful just
like you.
Shit. Wifi doesn't work.
Did they change the password?
I don't know, probably.
That's why I buy data.
- This one is cool!
- Yes that one is pretty.
What does it say?
Love expecting nothing in return.
It's amazing, you know.
Cool.
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Yes, Mom, I'm in traffic.
It's very slow.
Alright, fine.
Alright. Ok.
What did your Mom say?
Nothing.
I have to go.
Didn't you say you were
staying overnight?
You like it?
Good.
It's delicious.
Ok, do you want more?
Eat up.
Here.
It's all I have.
Ok, thanks.
You know Andres doesn't have a job.
He never does.
Be grateful for your job.
I can pay the electric with this.
We're two months behind
I'm going to ask them
for a payment plan.
Don't spend it all on cigarettes.
Yeah, go ahead.
Give me your phone!
Let go! Let go!
Over there.
Come on, come on.
Over here.
Here, take this one.
- Mixed, right?
- Yes.
- Are these cooked?
- Yes, they're ready.
What was wrong with you
last night, José?
Nothing?
Something was wrong
I know that face.
I know you very well
something was wrong.
- You were drunk, right?
- No.
We can tell from your face
You were hung-over.
And you didn't invite us.
What's up with you two?
Huh?
She loves you. I can tell.
Yeah, sure.
Do you love her?
Do you love her?
We're alright, we have a good
time.
But... do you want to make
a life with her?
And live together?
- Get married?
- Shit.
- She wants that.
- You're nuts.
We're too young.
Just watching my cousin's silly
kids all day long
and their parents working.
They don't have time to go out
and grab a beer on weekends.
Plus, there's a shitload of
chicks.
What are you doing?
Do I pay you to smoke?
Who gave you that cigarette?
- José.
- José! José, José!
Look here, it's dirty.
I saw you let cars go by.
Come on, get to work!
That's what I pay you for!
Move it! Get to work!
Here you go.
- Hot sauce, mustard.
- Thank you.
Here's another hot sauce.
And... sweet sauce.
- I brought one more just in case.
- You're very kind.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Where do you live?
We rent a small place in Zone 5.
- With your family?
- Yeah.
With my Mom and two brothers.
I work at a new building
in Zone 1.
Do you know the old Ritz Hotel?
It used to be the fanciest hotel
in Guatemala.
But it burned down.
Now we're building condos there.
- Yes?
- Yes.
Yes, I think I heard about that
fire.
Where are you from?
From Izabal.
It's so different.
But it's nice here too.
Time's up!
One more hour, please.
Alright.
When are you going back to
Izabal?
I don't know.
If my work ends, I'll go.
Maybe I'll find another one
and stay.
What happened here?
Oh, that scar.
I did it.
Shit, did it hurt?
At first yes.
But it went away.
And what's this?
It's a birthmark.
That scar...
I got from my brothers.
- Your brothers?
- Yes.
They caught me with a guy
in our village
and my Mom couldn't stop them
that has never lost anyone.
Hallelujah!
I hope this is enough chicken.
Everything is so expensive now.
How much was it?
Thirty quetzales a pound.
But it was cheaper last week.
Yes, I don't know
what's going on.
Ready, stop, we'll wait for them
there.
Catch it! Catch it!
Ahh I missed it!
He spends all day
playing videogames.
Give him a good spanking
I wish that would help
I think he has a girlfriend.
That's why he goes out
every afternoon.
Keep an eye on that. Hand me
the salt.
Yes.
- Does it need more salt?
- I think so.
Mom, your food's getting cold.
Look what I made for you, dear.
Your grandma’s pupusas,
your favorite
I made it with cheese from
Zacapa. I saved it just for you.
See, she likes it.
- Thanks.
- Take care.
Where did you get it?
Just get on, let's go.
There's the viewpoint.
Shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
Let's go in.
This way.
Be careful.
Here's some space.
It's ok?
Shit, fucked up again.
- Sorry.
- It's ok.
- Is there a shop nearby?
- I don't know.
How much to fix it?
One or two hundred quetzales
who knows.
Let me see what I have.
I only have 21 quetzales.
Here, hold it.
Give this money to your brother.
Hello, Ricardo.
The motorcycle broke down.
I need money.
Hello?
Shit
I'm out of credit.
Don't worry.
We better hurry, it's late.
- Try to start it up again.
- Ok.
- It worked!
- Let's go.
We still have 41 quetzales.
- Let's go?
- Yes.
Lord, look after him.
Guide him, Lord.
Bring him home safely.
Forgive him, Lord.
Have mercy on him.
Let him be born again.
Mom.
Sorry I missed your call.
Phone was off.
The battery died, and I had to
work overtime.
Really?
Are you hungry?
Have some soup
Luciana, Luciana.
Hi, how are you?
Please, come we need to talk.
The pastor says
we should follow the Lord's word.
I don't know how to say this.
Your son Luis is taking my José
down the wrong path
I don't know anything about that.
But you're the one who guides
him.
Look, I'll try to talk to him,
but I really don't know.
But...
Luciana! Luciana!
- Luciana, take this, please.
- No thanks.
Honey, honey.
Let's go to Ronny's house
this afternoon.
He went to Antigua,
they'll be back tomorrow.
We can be alone there.
When are you taking me to
Antigua?
Next weekend, Ok?
You keep promising but we never
go
José! José!
I'm short on cash.
- Alright?
- Will you really take me?
- Yes, darling.
- What's the problem?
You're playing around again
I'm fed up with you.
Your mother asked me
to keep an eye on you
I am already busy!
You think I don't know
you sneak out sometimes?
You are paid to work.
You have to do your job.
I don't know what to do,
I don't understand you.
Gosh!
Do you want to?
You think I don't want
things to be normal?
Normal?
Yes, because this isn't normal.
It's not normal
that you won't come with me.
If you really love me,
it's an easy choice.
I do love you.
But you're not showing it to me.
What can I do?
Leave my mom alone?
I can't.
Don't think for a moment
that I don't want to.
We're young.
We can work hard
I'm a construction worker.
I can build a small house for us.
We can work together and save
up, and build an even better one.
I want us to have a better life.
The city's growing,
we can have a decent life here.
Shit, José, you're so stubborn!
So, if you want to stay, stay
I'm out of here.
If that's what you want,
I'm gone.
All I want is for us to be happy.
I want to be happy with you too.
And I'm happy with you here,
it doesn't matter where
I don't understand why
we have to run away.
Why the fuck
do you want to stay here?!
I'm asking you
where you want to go.
Anywhere but Guatemala.
But I told you.
I can get over this
I'll have to get used
to not being with you.
My love for you...
It's unlike anything
I felt before.
I love my Mother too.
I love her, and always will.
But the love I feel for you...
This is shit, José.
Take care of him, please.
He's a good boy.
Don't let anything happen to him.
Son?
- Son.
- Mom.
You're here!
Test me any way.
Problems, punishment,
I can take it, Lord.
But keep my son by my side.
Don't take him away from me.
Help him to be close to me
always.
Son, thank the Lord.
That we're together.
Help him Lord.
Son.
Thank the Lord.
Thank you, God
I'll see who likes me on
Facebook.
Who's following me.
And, how many years
have you been together?
Thank you
Sofia is about to have her baby.
He could use your baby clothes.
You should visit Grandma soon.
Twenty days after classes
started
we still don't have school
lunches,
school supplies, or textbooks.
That's why we're here,
to demand that the President
and the Minister of Education
comply with the
National Education law
and the Constitution
and supply our boys and girls
with everything they need
to get an education.
It's impossible
to educate boys and girls
who are malnourished,
in dirty schools,
with difficult access to school
including schools
that don't have roofs,
or don't have walls.
That's precisely why we are here.
It's necessary for the President
and his ministers
to listen...
The green one
That one, let me try it.
- This?
- The red one.
- It's sweet sauce.
- Sweet sauce?
It's hot sauce.
Are you alright?
Carlos is gone.
What happened? Did you get in a
fight?
I'm pregnant
I'm scared.
Do you like this place?
Sure, I like it.
It used to be a luxury hotel.
Want me to show you?
Don't go yet.
It seems there was
a fire or something
and they remodeled it.
Come on, I'll show you.
All this used to be wood.
Not anymore.
Look at the view.
Sunsets are beautiful here.
Would you like to see
the sunset here everyday?
Sure.
Sit down.
This place is practically mine.
I paid half already.
I like you, José.
Come live with me.
Come on, let me help you.
You can go back to school.
Or you can take dance classes.
Wouldn't you like that?
I don't know what I want.
We're going to get old one day.
Who's going to take care of us?
Get it! Goal!
That's it!
- Hey.
- What's up?
Come on, let's go.
Get it! Get it!
Get it! Come on.
There it goes again.
Get the ball.
What the fuck!
- Stop that!
- Relax, man!
José! José!
You piece of shit, play fair!
Come on, relax.
Come on.
Penalty, man.
Shut up.
- Go ahead.
- Juan Carlos.
Hold it.
Come on, let's go!
- Go, go, go, go...
- Come on!
Do it.
Let's go!
Come on!
Relax!
Fuck!
Stop it!
Come on, come on.
Motherfuckers!
Stop it!
I'll kill you idiot!
José!
José! José! Son!
Earthquake!
Hurry up and get dressed!
Quick, put your shoes on! Hurry
up!
Let's go.
Mom?
You didn't go to work?
They won't let us
sell there anymore.
Why?
The officers said
it is closed for good.
Mom.
Are you alright?
The earthquake, all of this...
What would I do without you?
How could I live without you?
It's alright, Mom. Don't worry.
- We'll be alright.
- That's now.
What about later?
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Sorry.
They are gonna evict me
out of my home
but if you want to help, you can.
One chocolate for one quetzal,
or six for five quetzales.
One quetzal, or six for five.
How many?
Six?
Anyone else?
Anyone?
Anyone?
José. Get up, Son.
You're going to miss the bus.
- Another earthquake?
- No, you'll miss the bus.
I packed pupusas
for your breakfast.
The others are for Grandma.
Don't forget to give her the
pills.
Remember to call me
when you get there.
I hope there is phone signal.
Come on.
Don’t worry about my expenses,
your sisters will help me.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, Son, God be with you.
That's it.
Take some out.
Just a bit more.
- Good afternoon, Grandma.
- Good afternoon, Son.
- Some lemonade?
- Thanks.
Your water's ready.
What about Grandpa?
Mom said you never saw him again.
He disappeared.
One day he didn't come home.
I looked for him for a long time.
I waited for him.
It was torture.
How did you bear with it?
I got used to it.
A lot of people died,
a lot of people never came back.
After the war, many disappeared.
Why didn't you marry again?
I met some men.
One of them,
lasted a couple of years.
But he was married.
He had a family, and I had to
take care of your Mom.
Good afternoon
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker.
- No.
- Thank you.
Good afternoon
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker
who lives around here.
Excuse me, excuse me, good
afternoon.
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker.
He lives around here.
Do you know this guy?
No?
Thank you, good day.
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
- I saw you at Mauro's house.
- Yeah.
I recognized you when I got on.
- The ruins are close by, right?
- Yes, they are.
The Mayan stella near here is on
10-cent coin.
Really?
Yes. You wanna see it now?
We could use some fresh air,
right?
Hello.
Excuse me, where can I catch a
bus?
About five kilometers up the
road.
You want a ride?
Ok
Good morning, Son
I'm leaving soon.
Which market are you going to?
I'll try Zone 17.
The police kicked us out
yesterday.
- Is Mr. Humberto outside?
- Yes.
- He's waiting. Help me, Son.
- Huh?
Help me.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Put it there.
Thank you.
- Careful, Mom.
- Yes, Son.
You too, be careful.
Change your shirt, it smells
I'll wash it tonight.
Goodbye.
- Mr. Humberto.

Lock the door when you leave.

You think I don't want

Yes, because this isn't normal.
It's not normal

If you really love me,
it's an easy choice.
I do love you.

So, if you want to stay, stay
I'm out of here.
If that's what you want,
I'm gone.
All I want is for us to be happy.
I want to be happy with you too.
And I'm happy with you here,
it doesn't matter where
I don't understand why
we have to run away.
Why the fuck
do you want to stay here?!
I'm asking you
where you want to go.
Anywhere but Guatemala.
But I told you.
I can get over this
I'll have to get used

My love for you...
It's unlike anything

I love my Mother too.
I love her, and always will.
But the love I feel for you...
This is shit, José.
Take care of him, please.
He's a good boy.
Don't let anything happen to him.
Son?
- Son.
- Mom.
You're here!
Test me any way.
Problems, punishment,
I can take it, Lord.
But keep my son by my side.
Don't take him away from me.
Help him to be close to me
always.
Son, thank the Lord.
That we're together.
Help him Lord.
Son.
Thank the Lord.
Thank you, God
I'll see who likes me on
Facebook.
Who's following me.
And, how many years

who are malnourished,
in dirty schools,
with difficult access to school
including schools
that don't have roofs,
or don't have walls.
That's precisely why we are here.
It's necessary for the President
and his ministers
to listen...
The green one
That one, let me try it.
- This?
- The red one.
- It's sweet sauce.
- Sweet sauce?
It's hot sauce.
Are you alright?
Carlos is gone.
What happened? Did you get in a
fight?
I'm pregnant
I'm scared.
Do you like this place?
Sure, I like it.
It used to be a luxury hotel.
Want me to show you?
Don't go yet.
It seems there was
a fire or something
and they remodeled it.
Come on, I'll show you.
All this used to be wood.
Not anymore.
Look at the view.
Sunsets are beautiful here.
Would you like to see
the sunset here everyday?
Sure.
Sit down.
This place is practically mine.
I paid half already.
I like you, José.
Come live with me.
Come on, let me help you.
You can go back to school.
Or you can take dance classes.
Wouldn't you like that?
I don't know what I want.
We're going to get old one day.
Who's going to take care of us?
Get it! Goal!
That's it!
- Hey.
- What's up?
Come on, let's go.
Get it! Get it!
Get it! Come on.
There it goes again.
Get the ball.
What the fuck!
- Stop that!
- Relax, man!
José! José!
You piece of shit, play fair!
Come on, relax.
Come on.
Penalty, man.
Shut up.
- Go ahead.
- Juan Carlos.
Hold it.
Come on, let's go!
- Go, go, go, go...
- Come on!
Do it.
Let's go!
Come on!
Relax!
Fuck!
Stop it!
Come on, come on.
Motherfuckers!
Stop it!
I'll kill you idiot!
José!
José! José! Son!
Earthquake!
Hurry up and get dressed!
Quick, put your shoes on! Hurry
up!
Let's go.
Mom?
You didn't go to work?
They won't let us
sell there anymore.
Why?
The officers said
it is closed for good.
Mom.
Are you alright?
The earthquake, all of this...
What would I do without you?
How could I live without you?
It's alright, Mom. Don't worry.
- We'll be alright.
- That's now.
What about later?
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Sorry.
They are gonna evict me
out of my home
but if you want to help, you can.
One chocolate for one quetzal,
or six for five quetzales.
One quetzal, or six for five.
How many?
Six?
Anyone else?
Anyone?
Anyone?
José. Get up, Son.
You're going to miss the bus.
- Another earthquake?
- No, you'll miss the bus.
I packed pupusas
for your breakfast.
The others are for Grandma.
Don't forget to give her the
pills.
Remember to call me
when you get there.
I hope there is phone signal.
Come on.
Don’t worry about my expenses,
your sisters will help me.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, Son, God be with you.
That's it.
Take some out.
Just a bit more.
- Good afternoon, Grandma.
- Good afternoon, Son.
- Some lemonade?
- Thanks.
Your water's ready.
What about Grandpa?
Mom said you never saw him again.
He disappeared.
One day he didn't come home.
I looked for him for a long time.
I waited for him.
It was torture.
How did you bear with it?
I got used to it.
A lot of people died,
a lot of people never came back.
After the war, many disappeared.
Why didn't you marry again?
I met some men.
One of them,
lasted a couple of years.
But he was married.
He had a family, and I had to
take care of your Mom.
Good afternoon
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker.
- No.

Good afternoon
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker
who lives around here.
Excuse me, excuse me, good
afternoon.
Do you know this guy?
He's a construction worker.
He lives around here.
Do you know this guy?
No?
Thank you, good day.
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
- I saw you at Mauro's house.
- Yeah.
I recognized you when I got on.
- The ruins are close by, right?
- Yes, they are.
The Mayan stella near here is on
10-cent coin.
Really?
Yes. You wanna see it now?
We could use some fresh air,
right?
Hello.
Excuse me, where can I catch a
bus?
About five kilometers up the
road.
You want a ride?
Ok
