Savanna and the Mountain (A Savana e a Montanha)

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, horse. Come on.

Come here, Brownie. Come.

Come here, Brownie.

What's the matter? Come, come, come.

Go on, go on!

Come here, come.

What's up, Brownie? Come here.

What's the matter?

Where were you?

Where were you, Brownie?

What's the matter?

What's up?

Come on!

What's the matter, Brownie?

What's up? Give me your paw.

Give me your paw. Your paw.

There you go.

What's the matter? Come on...

What's up?

What's up?

Lift up your head, take your eyes off the ground

If your will is waning away, shake it up

Because now is the time to fight Because now is the time to fight

Don't stand by and pretend you don't see it

That this struggle belongs to everyone, not just two or three

And now it's time to fight And now it's time to fight

Don't wait for others to do it for you You don't win the war by sitting down

And now it's time to fight And now it's time to fight

These clear waters, this tranquillity, this fresh air

These high mountains This is our world

And that's what we will fight for And that's what we will fight for

Join the fight We will win

This is the moment There is no time to lose

Join the fight We will win

This is the moment There is no time to lose

Join the fight We will win

Join the fight We will win

Lift up your head, take your eyes off the ground

If your will is waning away, shake it up

Because now is the time to fight Because now is the time to fight

Don't stand by and pretend you don't see it

That this struggle belongs to everyone, not just two or three

And now it's time to fight And now it's time to fight

Don't wait for others to do it for you You don't win the war by sitting down

And now it's time to fight And now it's time to fight

Between overlapping mountains and infinite landscapes,

peace prevails in the small village of Covas do Barroso,

in the Wonderful Kingdom.

Until one day...

Still, boy.

- Hey, Libo. - Hey.

- The horse is jumpy today. - Is he nervous?

And the others too. It wasn't easy to find them.

I also just got back from up there. There was something strange.

It wasn't good, that's for sure.

I haven't felt him this jumpy for a long time.

What's going on up there?

I was telling Paulo that the horse is very skittish.

And so are the others up there.

- Are they still all there? - It was a struggle to find them.

He's calmer now, but he was very nervous.

Hey, what's up?

- How's it going? - Hi, João.

All good.

You couldn't find the horses? Did they escape?

They were very skittish.

And he was also very nervous. Now he's...

- Calmed down. - He's calmed down.

It could have been an animal or something.

- I think they're coming... - I overheard you guys. What's going on?

I'm telling Paulo that I got back from up there

and the horses were all terrified.

- They were nervous. - Why nervous?

I don't know what's happening with the animals.

Something is up there.

Come and drink, come!

Off you go, sheep. Off you go.

Easy!

What's this noise?

Stop that shit!

"Why lithium? And why Barroso?

To mitigate the effects of climate change

and meet the national, European and global carbon neutrality goal,

we must stop depending on coal, petroleum, gas, petrol and diesel."

- "As a main source of energy..." - "Savannah sponsored 29 participants."

"Motorbikes, quad bikes..."

- Sponsored? - To pollute?

"Around 500 pilots ventured through Barroso during the 15th Edition,

which took place on the 16th of April."

Do they want to mitigate climate change or sponsor even more pollution?

"Savannah will make offers to the local landowners."

Is there any land for sale?

Nothing's for sale, from what I know.

"...that is both fair and advantageous."

But look, this one's good.

"Benefit sharing, local focus and a great opportunity.

Actions may include the creation of over 200 jobs..."

- 200 jobs? - Where?

"Preferential commerce with local enterprises and producers."

Well, my children can return from France then. This is good!

- Yeah, right! - Don't believe it.

- I don't think so. - It's bullshit.

"Rehabilitation of an area with a lake for leisure activities."

We'll go in clean and come out dirty.

A lake?

I don't believe anything that's written here.

I think they just want to destroy our land,

make their big holes and leave.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

And the populations are also unsettled, fearing the outcome.

For now, João Galamba is resorting to practical examples

in order to minimise fears.

It's the equivalent of a granite quarry.

So, to reassure people a little, those who think lithium

will bring a significant change

to the lives of those living in these territories,

I remind you that these territories have peacefully coexisted

with quarries.

So, we're looking at lithium quarries,

quartz and feldspar mines, so nothing new to these territories.

I hope not.

- Is this the basin or not? - It's the bucket at the entrance.

- This one? The black one? - Yes.

Beginning of autumn.

- It's what everything will look like. - That's what they'd like.

All will look like that. The cabbages, the potatoes...

No.

No?

- I'm still not convinced of that part. - You still don't believe it?

No.

I don't want it, but I don't know if I believe it.

I don't believe it.

Now we can eat cabbages without washing them.

Soon, we won't even be able to eat them washed.

All my life, I've heard that "whoever's in charge is boss".

Goddamn it, I twisted this all up.

It's okay, we'll fold it later.

This thing is so annoying.

Here we are, looking at this landscape.

Soon, it'll be a load of rocks and noise.

And that's it.

If you sleep badly now, you won't sleep at all

with this going on all night.

That only happens during a World War.

And they'll dump all the rubble next to the house.

- It's to hold the walls. - It's so we don't run away.

They'll take the water from beneath and the rocks from above.

It's their filters.

Motherfuckers!

We could send Lúcia down to Vale Cabrão.

She could... She's always hiking.

She could pass by and find out what's going on.

Doesn't seem like a good idea.

She's too old to go that far.

I think someone else should go.

What if we send Arménio?

Arménio? He's got a knack for spying but...

What if he's plastered when he goes there?

If he gets there half drunk,

they'll find out.

He'll spill the beans. You know Arménio.

No, not Arménio. No way.

What about Benjamim? He works at the Parish...

Benjamim? He's such a loudmouth.

He'd start running his mouth as usual. Not Benjamim...

It would have to be someone who...

they wouldn't... A young girl, for example.

I can't really think of anyone.

If...

Who do you think it could be?

Hello?

Okay.

She's sleeping.

I'll speak with her tomorrow and we'll go forward with it.

When you go past Libo's land, be careful.

I know, Dad. Don't exaggerate...

When I was in the jungle, the longest path became the shortest,

so cross Benjamim's garden

and on the right, you'll find the Shell barrel.

Yes, Dad.

Try and find out if it reaches our wetland.

See you later, Dad.

Not "see you later". What do you say?

To the battlefield, Colonel!

That's my daughter!

Come on!

Four and ten.

Ruço!

Come on!

Three and ten.

Five and thirty.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Working, here?

Four and twenty.

I've got cured sausages made from the village pig.

Would you like to buy some?
