FORGOTTEN ROADS

The news this afternoon.

I'm your radio announcer,
Paola Hunguñiel,

to inform you about the new
events in the surroundings of Lautaro.

Different animals have
appeared dead in the area,

from Lautaro to Curacautin.

The cases are
now being investigated,

but we are ready to hear from you,
our radio listeners.

Could our neighbors from the skies
have something to do with this?

Where do they come from
and what do they want?

Something is changing?



Do you notice anything different?

Have you seen anything unusual?

Call us at 45532862,

and tell us.
Now we leave you with our sponsor,

Segral Liquor Store.

Mom!

What are you doing here?

I came to buy bread,
but I didn't bring money.

But mom...

Let's go. Get in the car.

Hey, when do you have to leave
the house?

- Soon.
- But when is soon, mom?

I don't know.

Mr. Gonzalez's son said
it could be by the end of this month,



or the middle of the next...
I don't know

But, where are you going to live?

I'm going to live like a gypsy.

With the shitty money the retirement
gives us.

They should give us all the money
at once.

- So, I could invest in a house.
- Yes.

But, they are shameless.

You will never be able to get all your
money. They are waiting for your death.

So many people came that day.

To offer their support.

To give their condolences.

And afterwards,
you never see them again.

I think I am going to talk with Marcela,

to get some help from the town hall.

If you want,
I'll make room for you in my bedroom

I still don't get used to it.

They are pretty.

They are weird.

I like them.

You like them. I don't.

Come here turkey, turkey, turkey...

Come here turkey, turkey, turkey...

Turkey, turkey, turkey...

Come here turkey, turkey, turkey...

Turkey, turkey, turkey...

Let's eat
That's it, that's it.

Ok. Come! Come! Come!

It's food.

Clau!

Clau!

Clau!

We haven't heard from you.

Hum, I've just been here.

Poor Claudinita.

And, where you plan to go?

For now, to Alejandra's place.

She already carried half of my stuff.

The other half is going to stay there,
in case you are interested.

No, don't worry.

Still, I'll have a look around.

Are you going to be ok, Claudinita?

All of this is weird.

And, how is Ale?
What did she say?

We don't have a choice.

Let's have a cup of tea?

Sure.
I have my mind set in another place.

Don't be alone here my friend.

Be carefeul, the aliens might come
for you.

Yes, you heard that right.

$4200 pesos. Right next to
the gas station on Rodriguez street.

In Albertina Store you will find
all the homeware you need.

Bulbs, lamps, kitchenware.

Albertina Store,
all that you need.

Hello honey.

Ok.

Let me get dressed.

Alright.

Why didn't you call me mom?

Because I don't need to.

Besides, you're too busy
and I don't want to bother you.

Well, sometimes I'm busy, mom.
But if you had called me, I would come.

Hello neighbor.
Do you need help?

- Yes, thank you!
- Watch it.

- Just leave it at the entrance.
- Okay.

Mom, go inside the house.

You will know that your destiny

Joins with mine

I've waited you in every corner

I have looked for you everywhere

Your kisses give me life

Brothers and Sisters,
humbleness is no an appearance!

No! Humility is an attitude from heart!

God wants us to give from our souls!

God is sending to us a sacred sign
with these lights!

He chose us! Hallelujah!

Brothers and Sisters, He chose Lautaro!

Come with me to the hill
to celebrate the communion!

This town has been blessed!

God wants us to experience these
lights with humbleness!

Don't fear them!
If you don't confront him...

Hello, neighbor!

I saw you arrive with a lot of things.
Are you moving here?

What?

If you are going to live here?

You are paying attention.

That's because there's not much
to do here.

Don't you see that I'm always alone?

My husband travels all the time for work.

- Sorry if I bothered you.
- No, no problem.

I'm going to see you more often then.

Your daughter doesn't talk much.
I hope you won't be the same.

That's true. She doesn't talk much.

It's just that I get bored.

- Do you smoke?
- Yes.

But I just ran out of cigarettes.

I was going to buy some now.
Do you want me to bring you pack?

OK. What happened?
Did you take it away from him?

No. He died.

And that was the only thing he left me.

But I don't know what to do with it.
I don't even know how to drive.

- Well then, sell it.
- No.

It's too soon.

Learn how to drive then.

I'm too old to learn.

I can teach you, if you want.

- And end up wrapped around on a tree.
- No!

Yes, that's what happened
to me last time.

Since then, my husband never
lent me the car.

Why didn't you snatch it?

Oh yeah! I used it the other day.

But I'm not good at those things.

It's not that hard.

Look Claudina.

- What a beautiful lamp.
- Yes, it's pretty.

I like because it's kind of magic.

- Oh, really?
- Yes, but it's not for sale.

What a pitty.

What I like most about it
is that it has no switch, you see?

Yes.

Hey, if...If it's not for sale,
why do you have it there?

So that people ask me
and I can say that it's not for sale.

And because it's pretty,
and that way everyone can look at it.

I have seen you before.

Me too.

My name is Ignacia, and you?

Claudina.

That would be $5.800.
... $5.000...

... $5.000...

...$600, $5.700.
No, I'll pay mine, don't worry.

No, I will pay this time.

- You invite me later.
- Ok.

Alright.

That's it.

I know that, I know that.

Almost...

Where? Where?
You have to guide me here.

Oh ok, ok.

- You have to go that way, to the door.
- I take it, I take it.

There it goes.

There it goes.

It's good that we met.

Yes.

Your house is strange.

Strange?

I don't know, strange.

Since when are you living here?

It's almost a year now.

But, we move a lot.

Look.

I bought it from a lady on the street.

Sit down!

That's what I like about this town.

Thank you.

What was your house like?

We've lived there since we got married.

Eugenio got a job,
and they gave him that house.

Do you have children?

No, not a chance.

Since I was young, I traveled a lot.
having kids it was like cutting my wings.

Also later, I met Esteban.

And he understood.

And you? Just one daughter?

Yes.

You have always lived in Lautaro?

Until I got married.

As a child I wanted something
to get me away from here, but...

I even asked God.

You prayed to God?

Yes, yes.

But I was very small.

My dad was very strict.

And my mom said nothing.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

Later, I had to get married.

Ale was born.

I got married very young.

And before Eugenio, I had never
been with any man like that.

Do you understand me?, right?

You are very different.

You're not like the women
from this town.

Different?

Strange?

No.

Unique.

Are they perhaps signs that
the world as we know it, will end?

We have the UFO expert Mayra Nicitich,
and the priest Diego Soto,

To answer this, and other questions.

This is Stalactite Radio.

And we leave you with
this beautiful beautiful so....

No, c'mon! Always the same.

- Marina, I'm sorry.
- C'mon!

- C'mon, please.
- Stop it!

Hey, c'mon!

Slowly.

No, no, no. You have to start releasing
You have to release.

- What do I release?
- The clutch.

Ok, I'm releasing it. You must start
releasing it, and at the same time.

Go with the other to the right.
Ok, help me.

No, no, no.
Release it, release it.

It's okay, don't worry.

No, look.
Listen to me, do this.

Softly like this,
but at the same time.

- I'm scared.
- Good!

- No, don't worry. No, no no.
- Yes. what if a car appears?

Well, if a car appears,
it has to go through it's lane.

As long as you are not
in the other car's lane,

Nothing can happen to you.
You must always stay here.

Remember I told you you have
to move it? That's it...smoothly.

To level it.

Hey!

Very good!

OK, what if I press it a little more?

Now I will get scared.

No, no, no.

Shit!

That's what it was.

Yes, that's it.

I love the smell of the peels.

My husband liked it too.

Did you loved him very much?

I don't know.

But he was a good friend.

A good partner.

By the end,

that's what you look for in people, right?

So, you've never been in love, Claudina?

Once, I think.

But I was very young.

It was the first time
I felt I was in love.

I've been in love plenty of times.

Esteban knows everything.

I don't think he cares.

Tell me more!

Who have you fallen in love with?

We had like...

18 years old.

I was in high school.

I remember that we saw each other.

I thought she was the most beautiful
person I've ever met.

I only wanted to be her friend.

But...

I didn't knew how to get close to her.

I didn't dare to.

One day, she came up to me
and asked for a pencil.

And we became inseparable.

Sometimes we went to the hill.

Where the Christ is.

She would tell me stories about the city.

We loved to hear the rain.

And one day.

She kissed me.

Her name was Amparo.

Yes. They saw her.

I tell you. They get out of this town,
and they think they're something else.

They think no one knows.

But, who told you?
Her aunt.

I met her at the supermarket.

Oh, yes!

I was thinking, we could go to
a place I know.

What place?
"El Porvenir"

Have you been there?
No, no.

I don't think I can go.

Why? What do you have to do?

A lot of thing.
Well, that's enough.

What's wrong with you?

Well, it's fine.

I'll be there. It's crossing the bridge.

I have to get ready.

If you come to throw me your cross,
go away immediately!

- Or I'll leave you here!
- Hello.

I'm not from any church.

Come in!

You have a puritan face,
I confused you with a local woman.

Maybe you don't remember, but
we've known each other for a long time.

From school.

No. Your face is not familiar.

I am Claudina.

Amparo introduced us,
do you remember?

Oh, yes! Claudina.

Oh God, my dear.

Life has really mistreated you!

Come in! Come in!

Enter.

This is the only place where
you can have a good time.

Have fun.

"Facundo and Ambrosio"
doesn't exist anymore.

You can call me Ambrosía.

Eat from me...

And shine. Because if you don't shine,
you don't exist.

I knew that you were married with...
a foreman.

- What was his name?
- Eugenio.

Ah, I didn't like him at all.

He farts higher than his ass,
and in the middle of his head.

I'm looking for a friend
whose name is Elsa.

But I haven't seen her around here.

Because this is "El Porvenir", right?

No.

This is not "El Porvenir."

This is my home.

You will know that your destiny

Joins with mine

I've waited you in every corner

I have looked for you everywhere

Your kisses give me life

What my soul longs for

To live disenchantments

You will know, my dear,
that your destiny joins with mine

You will know that the wind blows
another way

My heart

There is.

My friend!

So long!

You've been ungrateful,
you haven't called me at all.

We've been really
busy with Cristobal and Ale.

Hey, I heard that you were seen
leaving the big house.

Which is at the other side of the bridge.
What were you doing there?

I have a friend who lives there.

- I hadn't seen him in a long time.
- Oh, I see.

- I have to go, bye.
- Bye Clau! Call me!

I will rescue those who love me

I did nothing.

What should I do?

Nothing. What are you going to do?

It's alright.

Come.

Shall we dance?

We are in my house and here we dance.

Grandma,
did you see the thing the other night?

- What thing?
- Nothing. The light went out.

And if it was night and the lights
went out, how could I see?

What a bad joke!

Hey! Not bad. Look.

Why are you laughing? It was bad?

Let me see!

Hey mom, what you will do today?

I will go next door.

Be careful mom, ok?

Why?

Because you know that people talk.

And now you live with me, in my house.

I wanted it so much.
The fat woman with the flowered blouse.

- But she was very out of tune.
- Oh yes!

Everyone was laughing at her,
but she is happy.

There are some people singing.
She is happy.

I really like this t-shirt.

- You like it really much?
- Yes!

- It looks very nice.
- I give it to you.

- Really?
- Yes.

I want to be like you when I grow up.

But, like me.

Do what you do.

But as I am now.

- You can't have all that you want.
- Sure.

I would love to have your energy.

But that fades as the years go by.

If I had your energy,
I would change a lot of things.

And what would you change?

I would be a photographer.

I wouldn't have married young.

I would travel to many places.

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

Because you like me.

I don't know quite well what I want.

I just know that I don't want to lose
the opportunities that appear.

That's all that I know.

And why don't you leave this town?

Where everyone cares about everyone.

I don't know.

I really don't know.

What about you?

Ignacia, get in!

Sorry.

Why don't you go out anymore,
Facundo?

Don't call me like that.

Ambrosia.

One of this days we should go
to Temuco.

- Or something like that.
- Yeah, I go outside.

The thing is, when I open here.

It will be good for you to rest.

No, I really enjoy to be here.

To serve my people.

So they see that there is freedom here.

I don't want them to go around
saying that I don't open because...

I'm old and I'm afraid of this town.

- That wants to close the doors
- No!

Nobody will move me!

I didn't say "to Close."

I said "go out."

We look like hares!

And these two?

Really sexy these fucking old bitches.

And you're really ugly to be queer.

We don't want to get in trouble,
young man.

We are old to have more drama.

With all due respect, mam.

Is this your husband or your wife?

Look motherfucker!

You must learn to respect!
We are all people here!

You are a person, I am a person, and...

Easy, easy.
We're not do anything to your mom.

Why don't you come and sit
with us for a while?

- Just a while, come here.
- Motherfucker!

I only wanted to have a drink.

I'll beat you up, assshole!

Elsa.

I really love you.

I love you too, sweety.

Why don't we leave here?

Let's leave this town.

How are we going to leave?

This is not our place.

You say that because of last night?

That's silly.

Wouldn't you like to live
somewhere else?

More peaceful?

We could go to the beach together.

I have a cousin who has
a house in Villarrica.

Being able to walk embraced
in the street.

Nobody watching us as aliens.

And where would you go?

Somewhere else.

Well, when you find that place.

I will gladly go with you there.

I would've liked to have met you before.

Perhaps you wouldn't be here with me.

Maybe.

I had never felt so happy.

How silly.

Getting old and just now
feeling like this.

How did you do it?

What thing?

Being with women?

I've never been this long
with a woman before.

You would heve to leave your husband.

Let's leave this town together!

What were you doing next door
with that old woman?

Her name is Elsa. And she is not old.

She looks fucking old.

Why you were dancing together?

I was passing by mom. I saw you.

And to top it, without the curtains open,
as if everything was normal.

Mom? This is my home.

I told you once,
and I will not repeat it.

I don't want everyone talking about me
or you

because of the dirty things are you doing.

What dirty things am I doing?

- About a dance?
- A dance? Do you think I am stupid?

Do you think that I don't know
what everyone is talking about you?

That you are crossing the bridge to go
to that house full of fucking queers.

You don't know what you
are talking about.

I love those people. You don't know
their names. You don't even know them.

Fuck!
So now they are people you love.

Terrific! Yes! I love them all.

What are you talking about mom?
What are you saying?

Mom.

- People that you love?
- Yes.

And your family?
Ah? Your family?

Have you thought about Cristobal?

Aren't you ashamed?

Please, stop.

Calm down mom!
Shut up Cristobal!

- Shut up!
- Stop.

Look, mom.

I am again in someones mouth
because of your filthy things.

You will have to leave this house
immediately.

And won't care where you end up.
Did you hear me?

Don't take her seriously.

- Hi grandma.
- Hi grandson.

My mom asks if your going
to have breakfast.

And I wanted to know
if you woke up alive.

I am alive.
And I'll go for breakfast right away.

Can you imagine if you were to die now,
and this were the last roof that you saw?

What would you do?
Does it looks like yours?

Yes, it's similar

If I died now, this roof will be the same
as all roofs that I saw in my life. Right?

No, because my roof is full of things
that I really like.

So, I will do the same.

I will stick on the roof all the things
that I love.

Why? Do you want die here?

I don't want to die, and I will go
to have breakfast in a minute.

I will tell her.

Neighbors of Lautaro will meet on
Christ hill to give thanks to the lights.

Some believers are doing
selection rituals.

Will you be part of this milestone?

Call us and comment.

This is Stalactite Radio.

Grandma, what is happening to you?
Where are you going?

I'm waiting for someone.

At what time?

At seven.

It seems that she will not come,
right?

Perhaps.

Why don't you call her?

I don't a cellphone
and I don't the number.

Has she forgotten me?

Hail Mary.

Full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women.

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven.

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

- Hi!
- Hi!

Hail Mary.

Full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women.

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven.

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Please, God.

Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses.

As we forgive those who trespass
against us.

And lead us not into temptation.

But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Did you like "El Porvenir"?

What?

I said, if you liked "El Porvenir"?

It was nice.

Doesn't it seem weird?

Yes, it's weird.

But, it's interesting.

No, no. I mean the lights.

Well, nothing has been happen.

What will they want?
I don't know.

Sometimes I think that
our time on the earth is almost over.

Sometimes I think that
they want to invade us.

Or perhaps they want us
to get used to them.

Mom, what are you doing there?

Do you know who owns
the car outside Elsa's home house?

Maybe it's her husband's

But, didn't he have another car?

Maybe he changed it.

It's weird.

What's weird about it?

It's her husband, Mom!

Mom!

Mom, come here!

FORGOTTEN ROADS

In memory of Coté Benavides,
