The Fall of the Queens (Cómo mueren las reinas)

THE FALL OF THE QUEENS

Jua, where did you leave the red nail file?

- I have no idea. - You were the last one to use it.

No, I didn't.

Cut it out, and help your sister look for the nail file she lost.

But auntie, we're in the middle of something.

Have you finished everything?

Well, finish up.

Let's see if you can stop making such a mess.

Why don't we have workers like the Oriela?

I'm going to stay here.

Come on, help me out and we'll finish faster.

Are you going to abandon me?

When his dick comes out it turns black and huge.

What?

The horse. Look!

It's because he's aroused, don't look.

It must be because of you.

Your makeup worked.

See if auntie is out there.

No.

We should bring him water, I'm sure he's thirsty.

He could have scabies, don't get too close.

Come on Mara, come here!

Don't go, Mara. We're almost finished.

If you want, we can play a board game later.

No, thank you.

Take these two to the room.

I told you I don't want to do this anymore.

If she finds out, she'll be really pissed off.

You just have to hide them.

Hurry up, come on. See you outside.

What was that?

It must be a weasel or something like that.

- I'm scared. - Don't be silly, it's nothing.

Pass it to me, I'll open it.

- No! - I want to see.

I'll show you.

Look, this is you.

Mom was beautiful.

She looked just like you.

You're just like dad, and like our aunt.

It looks beautiful on you.

I would like to get married in a ballroom.

- Will you marry me? - Yes.

Can I tell you something?

What?

Let's go back?

We just got here.

I'm sleepy.

I found mom and dad's letters.

Private ones.

Do you want to read them?

Eat it, honey is good for you.

Here, eat this.

You spoil her.

When will you give me my phone back?

Not today.

Just for a little bit, it's already been a week.

Your cousin arrives this afternoon.

Talk to him, you don't need a phone.

How boring.

How long is he going to stay for?

It's a vacation.

To see if the country air straightens him out a bit.

He has problems, doesn't he?

Is he retarded?

He's repeating the school year, that's all.

I don't remember anything about him.

He is the one who used to poop on the trees.

Don't talk nonsense.

It's true, when he'd come with Uncle Hugo

he'd poop on all the trees.

How disgusting! I don't want him anywhere near me.

- Me neither. - He will block the toilet.

You need to ventilate the room.

It probably smells musty.

- Look what I got. - What?

- How much did they give you? - It's a secret.

But it's for both of us.

Juana!

I'm coming.

What happened?

Go inside.

What happened?

There was a dog, and I wanted to play, but...

- Did he bite you? - No.

Oh my God. What if it had rabies?

You just can't stay out of trouble.

- It burns. - Just a bit more.

We have to disinfect it well.

Let me, I'll take it from here.

Well... I'm off to the station then.

And the dog?

Forget about it, he's not coming back.

Did you hurt him?

No, I scared him a little, nothing more.

I don't know if you remember the house.

You were so little the last time you came here.

You'll like it.

There's no service on the road nor in the house.

Don't waste your time, there's only service in town.

In a few days you won't remember.

You remember the girls, don't you?

No.

When you were little kids you played together a lot.

When everyone came over with your dad.

I don't speak to my dad.

Yes, I know.

This is Lucio.

Juana.

I'm Mara.

Hello.

Will you show Lucio his room?

Do we have a choice?

Come, this way.

There isn't any Internet?

Are you a singer?

So what...

What's all that?

Games.

Without Internet and games I'll shoot myself.

Is there a computer here?

Auntie's broke.

Sometimes we go to the town's cyber cafe.

So I can't use this for shit either.

I can't believe how there's nothing here.

Juana has one, but auntie got mad at her and took it away.

No cigarettes of any kind.

The girls don't smoke, I don't want them to see you.

Tell your cousin what we do at home.

Honey, we make honey.

Well, we don't make it. We harvest it and package it.

- I'm going to sleep. - Bye.

What happened to your leg?

I fell because a dog attacked me.

Does it hurt?

YES.

You scared me, I thought you were our aunt.

Want some?

Yes, I do.

You have to inhale the smoke.

It's a matter of practice.

Let's go, before they see us.

Lucio is an idiot.

He thinks he's cool with all those things he brought.

But I'm sure if he sees a cow he'll run from it.

I'm going to get my phone back tomorrow.

I don't care if she doesn't want to give it back.

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

If you stay calm and don't bother them

they won't harm you.

They're like a family, each one does their job.

A community.

There are the workers, who do all the work.

And the queen.

The queen lives longer than the workers.

That's why you have to become a queen. To survive.

How do you know which one is the queen?

Because of the size, usually they're bigger.

Like taller and pointier.

So all these are workers, and there is only one queen?

Yes, but there are also drones.

The males are drones.

The task of the drones is to fertilize the virgin queen.

And once they fertilize her, they die.

They die?

They get her pregnant and kill themselves, super romantic.

Smarter than most, they know what they're here for.

Hey, beautiful...

There's chicken shit on them.

Why don't you feed the rabbits? That way we finish fast.

Look, they're beautiful.

This is my favorite.

Lucio, help me with the bucket so they don't eat from it.

So cute...

He's two months old, he's the son of Ramón and Rosa.

They're husband and wife.

Did they get married?

Of course not, those are Mara's stories.

I saw them banging.

Mara, don't be disgusting.

Well, I saw them making love.

Have you ever seen two rabbits having sex?

No.

And humans?

Mind your own business!

Enough Mara, go get some water!

You go.

What's the matter with you?

I dropped it. Pick it up, I'm going to get some water.

Auntie, did you hear what I said?

I have a headache, please.

They have someone who creates the design.

And they're selling at nicer places.

Can we hire someone to help us?

We'll never sell more like this, we'll just be failures.

And now I have to take care of that idiot,

as if Mara wasn't a hand full.
