Cold Water of the Sea (Agua Fria de Mar)

- I have the sun in my eyes! - Then close them.

No, the big one for tamales.

Roger! The big one for tamales!

Why do you have to scream? It's annoying!

Look at the two of you!

Dry off or you'll catch a cold!

Pablo, can I have it, please?

Please!

Please!

Just to try something...

Kelvin, stop! You'll hurt your head!

My helmet's protecting me, Dad.

Can I have some too?

No, you'll finish all of it.

- What about me? - No, you're too old!

Dad, I'm thirteen.

Exactly. And because you're older, you may actually like it.

She's still little.

Princess!

Faggot!

- You're the faggot! - Both of you, shut up!

It's not an insult.

Hey Kelvin, let's go make a fire.

Come on!

Come on, Pablo!

Hi, little girl!

My husband loved dancing. I never did.

- Never? - No.

- You never danced with him? - No.

So he never danced?

He did.

A hippie enjoys a zombie sandwich

and a dog runs from a sandwich...

It's the other way around!

A dog and a hippie enjoy a zombie sandwich.

Anyone here?

Have you seen my daughter? She's small and thin,

with long brown hair.

I can't find her.

Kids, have you seen a little girl?

No.

I said not to go down there!

I'm sick and tired of telling you!

They make all those holes in the sand.

They'll end up buried alive!

But they won't listen!

Get out of there, right now!

I've had it with all of you!

What a mess!

I think it's cool.

What? It's a disaster!

Gerardo?

Gerardo?

Ro!

Come here.

- Rodrigo! - What?

Come! Something's moving over there!

What is it?

Hey!

I'm sleeping.

Why are you sleeping here?

Could she be...? But Gerardo has no family...

Where are your parents?

Dad?

Yes.

Dad?

Fucking signal!

Are you a model?

No, I'm a microbiologist.

What's that?

We study tiny little bugs.

My cousin's a model.

Really? And where is she?

She lives in gringo country.

What about your parents?

My parents are dead.

And so are my brothers.

They were crossing the street and a truck hit them.

When was this?

Not long ago.

Who do you live with now?

With my aunt and uncle.

I don't want to live with them. I want to live here.

My uncle, he kisses me here...

He says we'll get married when I grow up.

He kisses me with his tongue.

Mariana!

Wait here for a minute.

So?

He just left.

What are we going to do with her?

We can't just leave her alone here.

So then what do we do?

Take her home?

No, we can't...

We could sleep here, in the car.

I don't know. What do people do in situations like these?

Call the police? I don't know...

Well, we can't do anything at this hour.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow.

What do you think?

This car smells really weird.

I don't like it. I'm going to sleep over there.

Where will she sleep?

There?

I don't know...

Let's go into the car. We can watch her from there.

Are you ok?

Yes.

What does it smell like?

The seats. They smell new.

She must've come from the beach. She was wearing a swimsuit.

Maybe, I don't know...

We could try to find her.

Dad?

Yes.

Is everything ok?

No, just got here...

No, last night, but we couldn't...

Because...

We arrived last night.

Dad, when was the last time you spoke to Gerardo?

It's been a while, right?

Dad, because he left...

He wasn't there. He hasn't been for a while.

It's a mess, Dad. No one's taking care of it.

I know.

If I'd known you hadn't been in touch with Gerardo,

I would have tried calling him.

You can't tell me this just the day before...

just the day before showing it.

That's easy for you to say, isn't it?

Are you sleeping?

Hey!

I didn't sleep well. My neck hurts.

I slept ok.

Lucky you!

Let's take a little nap.

No, I don't feel like it.

Why don't you sleep and I'll go to the beach?

How will you get there? It's far.

I can see the ocean from here.

Yeah, but it's really far.

I could take your car.

My car?

- Why not? - Don't be silly!

Let's sleep for a while. We'll go later.

Ok, five minutes.

Ten.

Fine.

You're mean.

I should call my mom.

What for?

Why not? You called your dad!

It was important. I had to tell him about the land.

Why do you want to call her?

You'll probably talk about nothing for hours.

You always call her, so she's gotten used to it.

So when you don't call her, she worries.

Try calling her less, so she'll get used to that.

Mariana.

What's wrong?

It's all wet.

Where?

Here and here...

It's soaked.

Are you ok?

I heard that happens to people with diabetes...

I'm not sure... it's just what I heard.

Come on.

Come, come!

But do you have the antidote?

I wish I did, but it doesn't exist.

If this snake bites you, you could die.

Is it dangerous to go in the ocean?

Very dangerous!

Is this how big they get?

They come out when the sea is cold?

It's a sea snake.

That's the liver.

Let's look further up.

Look at the ribs.

- What's that? - Show me.

That thing there...

These snakes don't bleed.

- What's that? - It's hard.

Look, there's something here.

Yeah, look. Those are its guts.

No, that's the baby.

No, it's shit.

What a big snake!

Keep going. I want to see where the heart is.

My mom wants to know if we can borrow some matches.

You little devil, where were you last night?

Your mom was worried sick looking for you!

That's the problem with kids these days!

They never listen.

Tell her to get me some from the village, I'm almost out.

Did you hear me?

Karina, sit down, please. We have to talk to you.
