Listen up, guys!

A toast to Helena and Ivan!

It's been a tough few months since we shut down the cooperative.

I've had to move back to my parents'...

what can I say?

But let me tell you, it's not all bad news.

Most of us go around all day talking about changing our lives.

We go on and on about this and then we do nothing.

You've always been more about action than words.

Well, especially you, Helena.

We know Ivan is a big mouth like the rest of us!

It's true.

- Me too! - Yes, yes...

What you're about to do is very brave

and we're so proud of you. Gorgeous!

We want a house-warming party!

- Yes, we do! - Sure thing!

In the meantime, because we love you so much...

roll the video!

If we put the vegetable garden facing east...

- Yes. - on that slope,

the wall will keep the seeds warm.

And we'll open up the window to the south.

Right? There's no rush for that.

I want it finished before I have the baby.

And a pool when we get some money.

When we get a lot of money.

We'll do it.

Look.

Hi, Enric!

Gee, here already?

- Hi, Enric. - The architects?

- How's it going? - How are you?

Good journey? Yes.

Hi, how are you?

Looking at the ruins your auntie left behind?

Shut up! We're excited. We'll fix it up.

You still have time to go back to Barcelona.

No, the tourists can keep it.

- Come here. - What?

- Look what your auntie left you. - What?

Poum!

Hi, Poum!

But...

Is this for us?

Hi, Poum!

Hello!

He's gorgeous! Where are you taking him?

Your auntie kept him here in the enclosure.

Tied up?

She had him loose because it's all fenced in.

There's lots to eat.

What do we do with him?

Feed him

and then think about getting another one.

Another donkey?

Yes, because donkeys need company.

Sometimes they won't even eat if they're all by themselves.

No...

Poum...

You don't like being lonely.

What a sleepy head.

Yes.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

I'm tired. That's normal.

Everything okay here?

We need to change the beams.

To stabilise the structure.

We can restore them.

It would be cool to keep the original materials, right?

It'll be pricey.

We can do it ourselves.

Can Falcó has around 1200 acres.

I've checked it out and if you strip the cork this year,

you could make between 10 and 12 thousand Euros.

- Do the wages come from that? - No, you pay them first.

- How much? - They get 150 Euros per day.

That's a lot of money, isn't it?

No, they leave the forest in really good shape,

they're locals,

and they need to eat every day.

- Is this burnt too? - Yes, it's burnt.

This is useless.

See?

What we were saying is that it'll be a very dry summer.

A cigarette butt still alight or North winds could start a fire,

so we must be prepared.

Excuse our ignorance, but what does "being prepared" involve?

First of all,

have good hoses.

If fire comes, you'll need to defend the house.

The paths and undergrowth must be clean

and the tank must be full of water.

That way... What tank?

- Yes, in 1989, the ADF... - No, it was 1988.

Yes, 1988 or 1989.

The ADF installed a water tank for each house

so that the helicopters can get water in the case of a fire.

They sound like the apocalypse is coming.

Fires must be their yearly entertainment.

This is deserted.

- Want to shoot a little? - Yes.

Ready to lose, or what?

- Shut it. - How about a head start?

How about a beating?

One, two...

Mines a bit wonky.

- You're a bit wonky. - Shut up.

- Afternoon. - Afternoon, Maurici.

- How are things? Three please. - Yes.

- Wow, they're pretty good. - They're well trained.

So I see!

Come on, guys.

Look...

Look through here. I know how it works!

Do you live here?

- Yes, in Can Falcó. Do you know it? - Yes, Dolors' place.

She was my auntie.

- I'm Maurici Benach. - Helena, pleased to meet you.

- The new landowner? - Yes.

- Hi. - How are you?

Very good. OK.

Do you have someone to harvest the cork?

It's what we do.

We've kind of sorted something already.

I did it for Dolors fourteen years ago,

I know that cork well.

I could get it done in about six weeks

and pay you around 20,000 Euros.

- Twenty thousand? - Yes.

- Do the wages come from there? - I take care of it all.

That's a net price.

We get started and pay you when we're done.

Ask about Maurici Benach, we do a good job

without any problems.

- Great. - Thanks.

Thanks.

That's not bad.

He seems like a rural tyrant.

Someone probably told him we were there.

Yes, Maurici Benach has eyes everywhere.

Were those even his kids?

Maybe he paid them.

Let me tell you,

there must be a reason your Enric didn't mention this Maurici.

And he sure doesn't seem shy with his words.

- You're reading into it too much. - But it's a bit dodgy.

- What do we tell Enric? - We're not married to Enric.

We can't pay the guys from the cooperative, can we?

Unless we refurbish after the harvest.

No, you're right, we'll do it before the baby's born.

We'll work with the coop guys next year...

if they haven't all fallen out by then.

Hi there!

Which could happen in Catalan forests depending on the drought conditions,

rises in temperature or radiation.

Conditions that will determine

where and how climate change will affect us most.

Especially with beeches and deciduous oaks

which respond quickly to drought by shedding their leaves.

They shed them and wait to see if the situation improves

so they can grow them back.

Unlike other species such as pines, for example,

which tolerate bad conditions much better,

they're better prepared.

This resource, called Vulnemap, shows which areas...

Good day, ma'am.

I've heard you live alone in this farmhouse.

I've come to keep you company.

Your aunt was a good woman

but she'd lost her marbles.

She knew nothing about the forest.

If you ask around, they'll tell you

I'm in the cork business.

What deal are you offering?

I've had many interesting offers.

I'll get it all done in a minute and a half.

Haven't you seen me going round on my tractor mower?

You haven't heard the...?

Haven't you felt the earth tremble?

Helena?

Is that your name?

No! You stink! You're all dusty.

Come here, I'm a forest beast!

I'm a beast!

Stop!

No!

No! Why you... Damn it!

I can't!

Stop it! I'm pregnant! What a nerve! Come here!

Where are you going so early?

I want to get there first.

You're the boss, you don't have to get there first.

We have work to do today.

We'll buy the hoses later, I promise.

If we're going to live off this, I should learn.

Go back to sleep.

- Morning. - What are you doing here?

Here I am...
