[Our story]
-
"Soul of the eighties, I want to be with
you. I need you to come back."
-
The history of a country is not only
a list of its presidents,
-
nor the record of their most important
historical events.
-
The story of a country also takes place
in the houses of it's citizens.
-
It passes, immortalized in the memories of each family.
-
And that memory is weaving the fabric.
Out of each of those memories comes
-
the thread of something immense that
forms the identity of a nation,
-
made up of millions of lives.
-
So, from time to time it is important
to stop, look back, and understand.
-
To understand how we got here. How we are
all a product of what happened
-
in our times. And of our decisions.
-
I am fifty-three years old.
-
My name is Francisco Robles, just like
my dad.
-
"Paco", for those who have
known me forever.
-
And today I feel the need to remember my
sixteenth year, in 1978.
-
When I stopped being a child, and became a man
-
that day by day made his story.
Our story.
-
(sound of a horn)
-
(background chatter)
-
Good morning!
-
Good morning.
-
Ten tolete breads, please.
-
Good morning.
-
Morning.
-
Good morning Fransisco.
-
Hello Rose. How are you?
-
Eighteen soles, young man.
-
What, ten pieces of bread aren't
fifteen soles?
-
Yesterday the unit only rose eighty,
Fransico.
-
There's always a price raise.
-
The usual?
-
Yes.
(giggles)
-
Fransico, what's up half-pint?
-
(laughs)
-
The next time you go out to buy bread,
come bathed and look nice
-
so Veronica will think you're handsome.
-
Why does it matter what I look like? We've
known each other since we were four.
-
Bye!
-
Bye.
-
Not Synced
What are you going to buy, young man?
-
Not Synced
Has the price of a roll also risen?
And the croissants?
-
Not Synced
(motorcyle rumbles)
-
Not Synced
(rock music)
-
Not Synced
Has my dad left?
-
Not Synced
He left early to go to the store.
-
Not Synced
Your mom will worry about you. Why don’t you tell her that you’re not going to be there to sleep?
-
Not Synced
since there’s a telephone at home.
-
Not Synced
Bruno! It would kill my mom if I was out all night,
-
Not Synced
at least let her know.
-
Not Synced
Nancy!
-
Not Synced
Yes, love?
-
Not Synced
Have you seen my electric shaver?
-
Not Synced
No my pet.
-
Not Synced
Thanks Dad.
-
Not Synced
A miracle you’re not clean yet. Come out already, you’ve been in there a half an hour. Come out.
-
Not Synced
I can’t, I’m naked.
-
Not Synced
You're so cool, because you take so long
-
Not Synced
The boys need to shower too, enough.
-
Not Synced
Well, they need to shower earlier.
-
Not Synced
Four of us to one bathroom. Listen:
-
Not Synced
We have to move. This house is too small.
-
Not Synced
the land in San Borja is a good price.
-
Not Synced
Nancy, please. San Borja is too far away.
-
Not Synced
Come on, we could build a beautiful house
-
Not Synced
just the way we want it
-
Not Synced
Prices went up. It's not my fault
-
Not Synced
You see? And you want to go into debt?
-
Not Synced
What if we can't pay.
-
Not Synced
And what are you going to buy?
-
Not Synced
Land in San Borja. Pacho, don't be scared
-
Not Synced
We can take out a mortgage if we're smart.
-
Not Synced
The interest isn't too high.
-
Not Synced
Milagros hurry! Your brother needs a turn
-
Not Synced
Don't talk to me about moving!
-
Not Synced
Why are you screaming, I'm already out.
-
Not Synced
Mom wants to move to the end of the world.
-
Not Synced
Not even buses pass by San Borja
-
Not Synced
Liar! One passes at 12. and it's not like
-
Not Synced
we are moving tomorrow.
-
Not Synced
Cielo, look at it like a business.
-
Not Synced
Your mom talks like economist Silva Ruete,
-
Not Synced
You can laugh, but if we buy this house
-
Not Synced
I take credit for doing what's best for us
-
Not Synced
Please Dear, think about it.
-
Not Synced
I told you no!
-
Not Synced
Shut up and get in the bath!
-
Not Synced
Milk?
-
Not Synced
Me.
-
Not Synced
(Paco screams)
-
Not Synced
(Laugh) I ran out of hot water.
