Wherever and whenever society
deems life is worthless,
2
00:00:20,044 --> 00:00:23,810
we must see trough the eyes of Eros.
In the fullness of time, it is up to Eros
3
00:00:24,749 --> 00:00:27,115
to restore the balance
between life and death
4
00:00:27,251 --> 00:00:29,082
that has been tipped in death's favor.
5
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:31,450
André Breton
6
00:00:58,149 --> 00:01:05,021
Don't look down
7
00:01:36,587 --> 00:01:40,614
Nothing interesting ever happened
to me before I met Elvira.
8
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:35,704
I was a walking billboard on stilts
9
00:02:39,016 --> 00:02:41,814
and was working as a stuffed pastry
10
00:02:42,353 --> 00:02:45,811
up to the very day
my life changed forever,
11
00:02:47,492 --> 00:02:49,790
the day that began
my transformation.
12
00:04:17,281 --> 00:04:20,682
" If the Earth
stopped attracting the sea,
13
00:04:21,218 --> 00:04:24,881
the oceans would rise up
and flow towards the Moon"
14
00:04:29,393 --> 00:04:30,417
Dad.
15
00:04:36,767 --> 00:04:37,825
Your idea is
16
00:04:37,969 --> 00:04:41,370
Dad's spirit comes home at night
to read your notebook.
17
00:04:41,505 --> 00:04:42,529
Yes. I'm sure of it.
18
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:47,709
And you think he wrote this?
19
00:04:55,186 --> 00:04:57,245
You miss the old man a lot,
don't you?
20
00:05:03,127 --> 00:05:07,689
Even if I didn't miss him,
I know he'd still come home every night.
21
00:05:08,265 --> 00:05:11,325
The dead visit
the places they've lived.
22
00:05:11,469 --> 00:05:14,632
They do it for a time until
they forget the lives they once led.
23
00:05:18,843 --> 00:05:22,711
Eloy... Are you on drugs?
24
00:06:56,574 --> 00:06:58,667
In a right angle triangle,
25
00:06:59,076 --> 00:07:01,271
the square of the hypotenuse
26
00:07:01,412 --> 00:07:04,404
is equal to the sum
of the squares of the other two sides.
27
00:07:05,649 --> 00:07:07,344
Thinking about
your old school days?
28
00:07:07,485 --> 00:07:08,474
Yes...
29
00:07:10,955 --> 00:07:12,479
Eloy...
30
00:07:15,092 --> 00:07:16,957
do you really think Dad
would come back from the grave
31
00:07:17,094 --> 00:07:19,392
to remind you of the
Pythagorean Theorem?
32
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:22,498
Last night,
that wasn't in my notebook.
33
00:07:49,593 --> 00:07:53,290
Events continued
to unfold inexhorably.
34
00:07:57,902 --> 00:08:04,273
The battle unleashed
on May 2, 1852 was bloody.
35
00:08:04,975 --> 00:08:08,411
The troops advanced
into enemy territory
36
00:08:08,946 --> 00:08:11,210
razing every village in their path.
37
00:08:17,688 --> 00:08:22,148
What a disappointment to discover
I was a sleepwalker.
38
00:08:27,164 --> 00:08:29,029
Dad wasn't writing in my notebook.
39
00:08:29,633 --> 00:08:31,032
He wasn't reading it either
40
00:08:31,168 --> 00:08:33,568
because the dead don't need
to read to stay informed.
41
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:42,540
I know because my neighborhood
borders on the Underworld.
42
00:08:45,516 --> 00:08:48,041
Every day I cross the border.
43
00:09:00,931 --> 00:09:02,660
The angels avert their eyes
to avoid my gaze.
44
00:09:04,535 --> 00:09:07,732
They know that if they once looked
at me, they would have to tell me
45
00:09:07,872 --> 00:09:10,102
that one day I'll have to stay
on this side of the border...
46
00:09:11,308 --> 00:09:12,605
forever.
47
00:09:35,933 --> 00:09:38,367
At sunset, the dead come out
to sit in the cool of the evening
48
00:09:38,502 --> 00:09:40,732
along the cemetery sidewalk.
49
00:09:41,939 --> 00:09:44,373
They have a sort of a nervous tic.
50
00:09:44,742 --> 00:09:48,439
They make the same gesture
over and over.
51
00:09:51,482 --> 00:09:53,712
I hope I'll see you
one of these late afternoons, Dad.
52
00:09:56,854 --> 00:09:58,549
Where are you?
53
00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:13,662
Nobody knows
what to do with a sleepwalker.
54
00:10:14,738 --> 00:10:18,674
I read in a magazine we sleepwalkers
are night visitors...
55
00:10:18,809 --> 00:10:25,237
souls electrified and liberated
from our bodies by the moon.
56
00:10:30,354 --> 00:10:34,256
To my mother, my soul free floating
from my body seemed very dangerous
57
00:10:34,558 --> 00:10:37,493
for someone who slept
on the terrace as I did.
58
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:44,333
My brother Andrés
built a ghostcatcher.
59
00:10:44,835 --> 00:10:46,860
The idea was
for the noise to wake me up
60
00:10:47,004 --> 00:10:48,665
before I went down the stairs.
61
00:10:53,577 --> 00:10:55,511
His invention worked.
62
00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:58,239
I didn't go down the stairs...
63
00:10:58,582 --> 00:11:00,880
I kept right on going
to another neighbor's terraces...
