You dilute in my memory,
but your voice guides me in silence.
I turn to you with fervent blood,
We die as if life still belonged to us.
Yes, dear, how are you?
Fine, yes, ma'am.
We just arrived at the house.
No, but I'll talk to her tomorrow.
Yes, I'm already tired
I'll just take a shower and go to sleep.
Did you like the mass?
I would have liked it better in another church, with another priest
Good morning, Mrs. Martha.
- Come in, Yeison. - Excuse me...
Mr. Santos, Mrs. Martha
- I come to the insulin test. - Go ahead son
It is fine Mrs. Martha. Ninety-five.
- This little candy, but eat it in the afternoon. - Well, Thank you Yeison.
Not before!
- Excuse me, Mr. Santos. Excuse me. - Go ahead, go ahead.
Mom
Tell me Santos.
I have something to tell you.
I have been talking with Hermida and
we decided that you should go and live with us in the city.
So that you could be at ease there and…
don't worry, there is a person who will help you with anything
you need and with your medications.
The shadow of a beast
pursues me in the darkness.
I hide behind a large tree
and the animal climbs onto its branches.
We become one in the night.
A SHADOW UPON THE PLAIN
Yeison
How has Salvaje been behaving?
- Ha!
He only lets you ride him, Mr. Santos
Did you find the heifer?
No Mr. Santos, we did not
And how many animals have we lost this month?
Three, Mr. Santos, three.
- What a problem, man!
Let's go then.
Girl! take, take... go, go, go
Hey! Moo!
Girl!
Cow, cow, cow! Go, go, go...take
Yeison!...Pardo!
What happened?
Go ahead!
What is up, Fabio?
A “Cachirre”?
No, a “Cachirre” does not do that.
That's not a “Cachirre’s” doing
We have to be careful with that Yeison,
‘Cause what are we doing
we are losing the profits.
- Yeison!
There are two other hurt cattle up there
Ugh! excuse me Mr…
Damn!
Allow me
You’re fine, Mrs. Martha.
Your sugar level is fine
- Thank you Yeison. - Excuse me Mrs. Martha.
Excuse me, I have to go...
Wait a minute Yeison.
Yes ma'am?
I have to tell you something.
Are you going to stay with me until I die?
Right?
Don't say that, Mrs. Martha, you're fine. Don't worry about it.
No ma'am, easy
Please sit down,
I got to tell you something
Before dying, the old man asked me
to take care
of the farm.
He was afraid that when he died,
everything he had built would be lost.
Do me a favor,
hand me those papers over there, please
- But Mrs. Martha
- Yeison, I feel the presence of the old man.
these lands can't be sold.
Are you taking that with you too, mom?
Santos!
Mr Santos!
I'm coming!
What happened, Yeison?
Salvaje is missing, Mr. Santos
What a problem, man!
C'mon!
One must go to the bottom,
and go round the other side.
Let's find it,
let's look separately to see what happens.
- Ok boss! - Ok
Salvaje! Salvaje! Salvaje!
Salvaje!
A thread of smoke sprouts from the fire
and swirls above my head.
As it makes its way to the sky,
I hear the beast speaking.
Santos!
Tomorrow I leave for Bogota
Do you need help with anything?
No!
And I’m taking my mom with me
I didn’t know
I spoke to her this morning
Eh, She didn't tell me anything
Mr. Santos,
but seriously, may I help with anything?
Don't worry, in Bogota there is a person who is waiting for us
to assist us in what is necessary
The other thing I wanted to tell you is that we are going to sell the farm
So that you must remain attentive here for any document I could need
so you can send it to me to Bogota
And don't worry, because on the farm’s sale
we’ll respect your right to inheritance
for also being my father's son.
Salvaje!
Where is it?
Where?
Shh!
Be careful.
Come on.
Just as a beast is attached to my body,
you are attached to my dreams,
through the confusing, opaque, deserted ways.
Sometimes you fade in my midst,
but your voice guides me in the silence,
you are the only thing left to me in these distant lands.
No animals were harmed in this film.
