EVEN THE WIND IS AFRAID

There's no need to worry.

It was just a nervous breakdown caused by that awful nightmare.

- And this is all she needs? - Yes, it's a sedative pill.

She needs to rest, mostly.

- Vacations start on Monday. - Great then.

- Can I see the headmistress? - Yes, she's waiting for you, Dr.

Don't worry, it's us.

How are you?

Fine, but the doctor says I have t0 stay in bed.

Oh, lucky you! We have algebra today.

Hey, be careful with my novel. If they find it, good bye diploma.

No, I'm almost done with it.

I'm reading the part in which she goes to her boss's place.

Anything happens there?

Are you serious? Why do you think I hide it?

- I only wish I was her. - You only think about obscenitiesl.

Tell me about your nightmare, Claudia.

It was horrible.

I was in a dark place and there was a really long staircase.

Someone was calling me from up upstairs.

I went up and I reached some kind of attic...

there she was...

swinging around in the air...

.“hanged.

Why don't we ask Silvia? She can interpret dreams.

- She read Freud. - That's why she's crazy!

She told me I had a sexual frustration!

And you don't?

Moron!

What are you doing here?

Miss Bernard says you can't be here.

Yeah, right! "Miss Bernard says"

If you go and tell her, you'll be sorry!

If you think you can scare me, you are awfully mistaken.

No, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just warning you.

And now we're going t0 discuss a few things, honey!

Miss Bernard Miss Bernard

Leave her alone. It's better not t0 mess with her.

We have to go. She went t0 spread her gossip and the witch will be here soon.

How does she say, Kitty?

"Young ladies...

discipline is unequivocal here and misbehavior won't be accepted...

I hope that's clear"

I hope that's clear, Doctor!

There are no privileges for anyone in this school.

Yes, yes, I know. But believe me...

that girl is on the verge of nervous crisis.

Nonsense! We all have nightmares, but we don't miss our duties.

I think skipping a few classes wouldn't be so bad for Claudia.

That is exactly what she wants.

Sometimes you are too... naive.

All right, I'll be going now.

- It was a real pleasure. - Good bye, Doctor.

I'll go with you, Doctor.

Miss Lucia...

I'd like to talk to you.

Don't worry, I know the way out.

Excuse me.

I'm listening.

I advice you not t0 question my orders in front of strangers again.

It won't happen again.

And one more thing...

I want to see Claudia in the class room in half an hour.

I bet the witch is the one who sent you back to classes.

She's always coming up with new cruelties.

That's all right. I was bored anyway.

Don't take notes if you want. I'll give you mines later.

Hey come on! It's not like I'm dying or...

Look!

You don't want to go inside, do you?

- Why not? - It's forbidden!

I don't care. I want t0 know what's up there.

Go ahead, we'll wait outside.

What are you afraid of?

I don't know. This place freaks me out.

Girls! Come here, quick!

- What's going on? - Look, it's open!

What are we waiting for? Let's go inside!

No, no! They could see us.

The witch is never here. Let's go, quick!

You go first.

What's wrong with you? It's not a tomb!

See? There's nothing here.

But what about up there?

What's wrong?

This is the place I dreamed.

- She was up there. - Oh, don't say that!

Don't listen to her! She's just trying to scare us.

No, I remember very well.

The walls, the stairs, the handrails...

So what? We can also see it.

Girls, you have to believe me!

I went upstairs and the steps made an awful squeaking sound...

and then I reached the attic.

Now, that's convincing enough. What's the door like?

It's painted in red and it's all wormy. It has a metal bar outside.

Let's go and see, come on!

No, wait! Don't go up there. It could be dangerous.

- I believe you, Claudia. - But you're going anyway!

You go first. After all, you know the way.

You see? It's the same squeaking sound!

What's so weird about an old staircase making noises like this?

Keep walking.

Let me go, would you?!

There it is.

It's red!

She's inside.

Claudia!

Come down immediately!

Going to the tower is forbidden and that was perfectly clear...

theref0re, I will not accept apologies.

- I encouraged the girls, Miss. - I'll keep that in mind.

But each one of you is responsible for your own acts.

You will receive a severe punishment.

I decided that you're all going to stay here for vacations.

But my parents are picking me up the day after tomorrow.

I'll explain them and they will understand.

- But, Miss Bernard - I don't argue with the students.

That would be all. You may leave now.

Claudia.

Be kind enough to stay for a moment.

What did you expect to find in that attic?

Nothing, Miss.

- But the door was open... - That's impossible!

I have the key to that padlock

Well, I don't understand, but that's what happened.

So, we went inside and it was exactly like my dream about that girl...

That's enough!

I know your story.

You should use that fantasy for literature class instead.

I didn't make it up! I swear.

I warn you, if you keep scaring your class mates with morbid visions...

I'm going t0 ask your parents t0 put you under psychiatric surveillance.

I'm not crazy!

I'm sure of that, Claudia.

Don't make me change my mind.

Yvette, is it true that you're all staying here for vacations?

Yes, that's what she said.

But... no! She can't do that.

That's right, Miss. It's unfair.

And she won't get away with it. My parents are taking me to New York.

Yeah right! And I had a date with a Maharajah.

Even if you don't believe me... you witch!

Please, don't argue now. I'm very worried about all of you.

- Are you going to help us, Miss? - I'll try.

Well, I have t0 see my boyfriend! It's too much abstinence already.

Kitty... what are you talking about?

Come on, Miss, you know what I'm talking about.

No, I don't! For crying out loud!

Look Miss! This is Armando. Isn't he sexy?

Kitty, pictures are forbidden here and I should take that away from you.

I think you liked him.

Enough with the jokes!

It's my fault for being so nice. That's why nobody respects me.

Don't say that Miss. You're our only confidant.

That's all right.

I'll talk to Miss Bernard

She's an angel.

I hope the witch dies and she takes over as a headmistress.

Oh honey, those are really high hopes!

That hag will never die. She's a nightmare!

Please, don't make them stay here!

You're way too kind with those girls.

No, I'm only afraid to repeat the same story again.

That was a disgrace, an accident.

That's not true! We were responsible for what happened.

Lucia, don't make a scene! My orders will be strictly obeyed.

Fine.

It will to be your way.

And hopefully, we won't have t0 regret it.

- Are they gone? - Yes.

The Abeligas Gutierrez are leaving. They came for them.

- We're all alone, right? - But why you?

You're not punished.

I never go out. My only relative is an old aunt and I'd rather stay.

At least Miss Bernard treats me well.

She didn't even let me see them!

God knows what that damn witch told them!

This is my last year in this filthy school!

I'm sorry but your father is a real wimp!

If I was him, I'd have taken you out of here at any price!

I'm going to see Armando no matter what!

- How are you going t0 do that? - I'll tell you later...

when the GESTAPO leaves the room.

Don't be like that... poor girl. She doesn't have a family.

Of course! Because snakes are born out of an egg!

Is she staying with us the whole vacation period?

I think so.

Oh, no!

That's extra punishment.

Keep an eye on me girls, because someone is going to die here!

Don't say that!

Enough with this nonsense and put on your uniforms!

But Miss, we just took it off.

- I'm sorry, but we have classes. - Classes? Aren't we on vacations?
