EL PAMPERO CINE PRESENTS

IN

What's up?

Good.

What's up?

Good.

What took you so long?

Too many people?

Yes.

Were they distancing?

No.

Did you get into a fight?

No.

Good.

Did you make lemonade?

Yes. And I hang the clean clothes.

Where’s the soap that was here?

I took it to the bathroom on the back.

Any news from the plumbers?

Today they work in the apartment upstairs.

Did they say when?

No.

You didn’t ask them?

No.

Be thankful that the other shower works.

I ran into a friend on the street.

She liked the haircut.

She told me to congratulate you.

She’s your neighbour, she lives next to the club.

You mean our neighbour. You live here now.

Yes, well...

now because of all of this.

When it’s over…

When it’s over, we’ll see.

Don’t you want us to clean up a bit back here?

Not for now. I’m gonna keep using a lot of things from there.

If we clean up it’s gonna get messy again.

When are you done with the bookshelf?

So we can clear out here.

I still have to sand it and give it some coats of paint.

It's gonna take a while.

Shouldn’t we keep this door closed?

So the dust won’t come in.

Yes. Sorry.

Have you been playing here?

A little.

I’m about to start a meeting now.

I’ll clean up later.

Fine.

But do it.

I wouldn’t want them to find it like this.

They are not coming back today.

Don’t worry.

Did you send them our class schedules?

We can text them later. After my meeting.

I’ll clear up the table.

Watch out with the wood carving. The paint is still fresh.

It’s done, right?

Not yet.

I did finish your yoga blocks and your book stand.

Check out if they’re okay.

They’re perfect. Thanks.

What happened to the chairs?

Only one of them was broken.

I've decided to make some maintenance on the rest of them.

I want to go out on the balcony,

and it’s kind of messy here.

Can I go through there?

My meeting starts now.

Try to be quiet.

Sources close to the government hinted...

that the quarantine would be extended indefinitely throughout the territory...

CHAPTER TWO

THE WHITE MAN

“GOOD MORNING.”

"I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING.

LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BRING YOU SOMETHING.”

“I WOKE UP EARLY AND I CLEANED UP.”

“I’M MISSING THE BALCONY

AND THE BIG BATHROOM."

“IT’S COLD.”

Pumpkin.

Onion.

Sweet potato.

Ginger.

Coriander.

Hello, honey.

What’s up?

In a hurry.

I’m running late.

There were lots of people everywhere.

Did you get wet?

No. There’s a drizzle but it bothers more than it makes you wet.

I don’t get to sanitize this before the class.

I’ll take care of it.

You cleaned up a lot.

I missed the balcony and the big bathroom.

The balcony is done.

Oh, nice.

I didn’t even go into the big bathroom yet.

I’m peeing.

I thought they were done already.

No.

But they’re done with the floor and the tiles.

Yes.

Pretty messy.

Shouldn’t we send the owner some pictures?

Maybe.

We could clean up later, so we can use this bathroom again.

Not now. Fixing the cover up is going to make a lot of mess.

But when are they coming to do that?

Today.

What do you mean today?

You didn’t tell me anything.

They just told me.

At what time?

At 12.

But you’re teaching at that time.

Come in.

There’s alcohol there.

The bathroom is that way.

That door?

Yeah, that one.

I’ll go in.

Okay.

Do you have a ladder?

What?

A ladder.

Yes.

Here.

Do you need to use the bathroom?

Don’t worry, there’s one in the back.

There is, right?

Yes.

I’m gonna...

Yes.

CLOSE UP OF THE BOOK "The development of such ideas

had been greatly stimulated by a stupendous misfortune that had swept the world

and laid bare the foundations of society, a pestilence of unheard-of virulence.

It was called the Black Death, and it came nearer to the extirpation of mankind than any other evil has ever done.

It was far more deadly than the Plague of Pericles, or the Plague of Marcus Aurelius..."

Excuse me.

Yes?

Do you have a glass of water to drink?

Wait.

This is all done.

I’m going upstairs,

I’ll come back later.

OK.

The painter is all done with the plaster and putty.

He left it drying and went to work upstairs.

He’ll be back in a while to do the sanding and painting.

That raises a lot of dust. Tell him to keep the door shut.

OK.

Excuse me.

Yes.

I’ll go into the bathroom.

Go ahead.

The soup is ready.

What?

The soup is ready.

I can’t right now.

Didn’t you finish at 2?

It’s 2:30.

What?

It’s 2:30.

Well, it extended.

You’re not going to have lunch?

I’ll see that later.

Fine.

Thanks.

Careful, it’s hot.

Blender, right?

Yeah.

And that spice?

- Ginger. - Ginger, right?

Yes.

Are you able to work?

Not much.

Not much, right?

Yes.

Is that your husband in the painting?

My boyfriend, yeah.

He’s teaching right now.

And you?

I teach as well.

You do, right?

Yes. But mine is harder,

- since it’s online. - Mine too.

You have a toothpick bird.

Yeah.

It’s his.

I like him.

Nice guy.

Knows what he wants.

Look.

Do you have some more?

Yes.

Well,

I’m all done, so I’ll be on my way.
