Aurora Boreal (Mi Último Día (Aurora Boreal))

Hi...

If you're watching this,

it's because I'm already...

dead.

Today is Friday,

October the 28th, 1994.

Today I'm starting to record this tape.

I know it's not easy,

but don't judge me...

without knowing.

I know when you finish watching it...

you'll understand.

Goodbye.

Miguel...

Thank you.

You, girl, come down now!

No. Drop it.

Dad!

Turn that thing off now.

What are you doing?

I'm recording a video.

Well, I don't wanna be on it.

Are you aware that I'll die soon?

That would be nice.

What do you think about death?

Nothing, leave me alone.

Alejandra, I'm 13.

Is there any good reason not to commit suicide?

A really good reason?

Yes...

What is it?

Well, life is nice and you only live once.

No, I mean a good reason.

Well, no...

killing yourself is wrong.

Gilberto, if you don't like your life

and other people don't like you, would it be wrong to commit suicide?

What's up, Rabano?

Hey, Mayo, how're you doin'?

As usual.

What about that thing, is that the one you got?

Yeah, it's a bit old but it works fine.

It's cool. And when will you start recording your video?

You're already on it.

No kidding, you should've told me, to get my hair fixed.

Hey, take this one.

It's very good, I just copied it.

Ok. How much? 10, right?

Are you kidding? For you, make it 15

nah, take it.

Rabano, you rat, you'll get caught.

Nah, they don't even notice it.

- Well, thanks - Cool.

Say bye.

I was too little when we moved in to this house.

I don't remember much.

I used to think it was so big.

You won't tell me anything

but I overheard you talking the other day,

I know you're going to sell it.

But if you don't sell it,

you can rent my bedroom or use it for anything.

And if you do sell it,

you can buy another one without so many bedrooms.

That would be cheaper.

So,

this is how this table is going to look without me.

Wave, please!

No?

Well, there is no waving.

So, is it better to wait until he feels like it?

Yes, whenever he does his will.

Grandma,

is God a man or a woman?

No, boy, God doesn't have a gender

...but he's a man.

Look, I'll lend you my bible so you can read it

Thank you, grandma, I'm fine...

Read it...

No, really. Thank you.

Take it with you, read it when you find the time.

Grandma,

wouldn't you commit suicide?

Well... no.

Why?

Why would I now?

I rather wait.

So, you don't believe me?

No...

my mom says that those who keep saying they'll kill themselves,

they just never do it.

Do you have me there?

Yes, say your name.

I'm good old Rabano...

No, my name is Luis but everybody calls me Rabano.

Tell them why they call you that.

No way, you tell them later.

Nah, it's funnier when you say it.

Well, when I was younger I was a goth, I'm a punk now,

but I was a goth.

We all used to hang out in an abandoned tunnel...

Yeah, but about the name...

Yeah, righty, righty.

Then everyone had their satanic nicknames and I wanted to have my own.

And well, you know that ravens are a fad now because of the movie...

- Yeah, because the actor was killed. - Yeah, that's why.

But really I've always liked ravens, honestly, since before the movie.

So I told them to call me "raven", which is the word for those black birds.

Isn't it "crow" like in the movie?

Nah... well, really?

Either one, right?

Well and what happened?

Well, I was called raven for a while and everything was cool.

I was the mighty raven.

Until a girl started calling me "ravenito"...

and then it became "Rabanito",

and that's it.

Geez.

Rabano, tell them for how long we've known each other.

Well... dunno...

for how long?

For how long? About five years?

Geez, I was working at the school back then.

Yeah, but you got busted doing dope.

Yeah... and your mother got really upset about it.

What did you expect?

She's gonna watch this.

Alrighty. Hi ma'm.

They call it Nessie...

It's a monster that lives in a lake in Scotland,

the Loch Ness.

I like monsters, they're very special.

There are lots of them

but I like this one because I believe it is true.

No one has ever found it but I think it really exists.

The problem about monsters

is that when they become known they're no longer monsters,

they happen to be pachyderms or reptiles or something like that.

They become just one more thing and that's it.

And so,

that way the world is being left without its special things.

B, he goes to meet you but he asks you

if he can take his three friends with him.

C, he says he would go happily

but he had already accepted his good friend Plutarco's invitation.

I think C...

Ten... on your birthday you get an anonymous card,

he...

You idiot, why don't you get lost and stop bothering us?

Omar, I'm 23.

Give me a reason not to commit suicide.

Are you going to commit suicide?

Yes...

- You? Why you? - Tell me...

Just because you're short?

Won't you answer?

You're going to grow taller, don't worry.

I think there is one special thing in the world.

Only one truly special thing...

only one.

It's called Aurora Borealis.

They're lights that appear on the sky, over the north pole.

Nobody knows for real when or where the Aurora displays will happen.

Some people stay there for weeks just to see if they appear...

it's very difficult.

That's why I won't be able to see them.

That and

the fact that I won't have enough time.

I'm leaving this world having missed the best of it.

That one and the two behind him have been bothering me since I came.

They don't like me because I come from a private school.

I told the principal once

and it got much worse.

I never said anything again

and I took it instead.

What, idiot? Are you recording me?

- No, jerk! I don't tape faggots! - Do you like me or what, you asshole?

I told you I wasn't recording you... I don't waste my tapes in worthless stuff.

Do you want to record me? Do so, you asshole.

I said no, jerk. Just go.

Come on, you little sissy, I really want to punch you.

No. Go now.

I'll fight you for your little camera.

What for, moron? You won't even know how to use it.

Asshole.

Asshole, but at least I didn't fuck my brother up...

How's the retard by the way?

How do you know?

Everyone knows.

Answer me!

Answer me!

I want you to tell me why?

Leave me alone!

Open the door!

No, go away!

Why did you have to tell them?

He likes it when it rains.

It was 4 days before his birthday...

one year old.

They were planning his party,
