Daughter of the Sun (2023)

[bunniefuu]

[power sound]

[rumbling]

[insects singing]

[wind blowing]

[somber music]

[keys jingling]

[traffic noise]

There's a hole in the sky.

My dad has always

said,

and that from there,

they look down on us,

watching everything we do.

He's always said that we

were called something greater,

to stand against the

darkest days of this long

dream,

of which people

like us were lasting part.

[birds cawing]

And that always,

they were watching.

As if observing this strange

other world

of their own making.

Who they are,

on the other hand,

he's never said.

[wind blowing]

[spitting]

My dad is different.

[yelling, ticking]

Or as he calls it,

special.

[sniffing]

f*cking wet, not f*cking clean.

f*ck.

[ticking]

[grunting]

f*ck.

He says someday

when I'm a woman.

[door opening]

f*ck.

I'll be special too.

[cat meowing]

But I hope it's bullshit.

[bacon sizzling]

And I think he does too.

[cats meowing]

[truck motor]

We move around a lot.

'Kay, what if

I was lost in forest?

I'd hike in

and I'd come get you.

[traffic noise]

He says it so I can

see some sh*t in this world.

In the middle of nowhere?

I'd transport there,

like Mr. Spock and find you.

Come on, dad.

It's gotta be real.

[car passing]

Hey,

f*cking stay close.

Why?

'Cause.

But I know that's a lie too.

[door opening]

He's just afraid.

Dammit, Hill!

Why's this

effing phone plugged in?

We're afraid

of a lot of things.

I told you I was using it.

To call who?

To call who?

Mostly,

I think he's

afraid of himself.

[pills rattling]

And of losing me.

He said he could lose a lot

of things in this life,

but I'm not one of them.

And if he ever did,

no one either out there or

down here would be safe 'til

he found me again.

And that we had to hold

on to each other...

tight.

We saw the same sunset.

Dad?

Huh?

What if I was all the way

underneath

the whole entire ocean?

Then I'd swim down

and get you.

But what if you couldn't?

But I would.

Dad?

What if I was dead?

Don't f*cking talk

about that kind of sh*t.

- But?

- No.

Now go to sleep.

[police sirens]

Honestly,

sometimes it

feels like me and

my dad are

from different worlds.

Like I just

don't understand him.

But that's alright,

'cause I got my own ideas.

We're gonna settle down and

I'm gonna take care of him

the way he always takes care

of me.

[train whistle]

[power sound]

[dog whimpering]

[rumbling]

[power sound]

[things shaking]

[loud rumbling]

[mirror breaking]

Someday my dad won't

have to be afraid anymore.

Someday.

[traffic noises]

Like he always says,

we just gotta

hold on to each other.

Just hold on tight.

[drum beat]

[upbeat music]

[dog barking]

[pots slamming]

[dog barking]

Lenny, stop it.

Air's a good girl.

Mm, green eggs and ham.

[truck motor]

[bus motor]

[doors opening]

[ticking]

[slamming]

[grunting]

[shrink wrap tearing]

[loud slamming]

Hey, what's his name?

Sonny.

Yo man!

Sonny! Let's pick it up!

[loud slamming]

Alright boss, let me have it.

No, f*ck.

Sorry. I got it.

[kids playing]

Hey babe.

No way, Bozo.

Come on babe,

man's got needs.

Yeah, well

take them somewhere

else.

Don't be like that,

you know I'm only

kidding.

Hey, can I ask

you guys something?

What's up with simple

Sam over there?

[pretending to tick]

[kids talking]

[bell ringing]

Alright everyone,

let's settle in

and open our text to

page 39.

Yes, Hildie?

Hey man.

I was just playing.

You just

freaked me out back there.

It's alright, f*ck.

What?

Sorry.

[power sound]

[door locking]

Oh sh*t!

No, no, no, no, no.

Damn it.

[faucet running]

Come on.

[rumbling]

[bell ringing]

[motors roaring]

[thud]

[foreboding music]

Sorry. I didn't mean

to freak you out, f*ck.

Say that again!

What was that?

Nothing. f*ck.

Okay! Okay!

I'm not gonna fight this guy.

He's a g*dd*mn f*cking--

[thud]

[upbeat music]

Hill!

What is it?

Nothing. I'm leaving.

I'm coming with you then.

No, you're not.

He's provoking me.

- It's over, man.

- He's provoking me.

It's over.

- I know, but it's

- So why are you doing this?

- we're done here.

- I'm not going.

I work here. I work--

f*ck!

[ticking]

[insects singing]

[wind blowing]

[somber music]

You can't see it, can you?

See what?

Nothing. Forget it.

Seriously, what?

I'm sick of all this

double talk with you.

It's nothing, really.

You wouldn't understand.

You know I care about

you, right?

Right.

No, really,

I ain't like that.

I know you don't believe

it, but--

But what?

Just tell me.

[trains rumbling]

Again?

Where were you?

Nowhere.

What happened?

It's gonna happen

again, isn't it?

No.

I got under control.

[fingers snapping]

[intimate music]

[blankets ruffling]

[dryer spinning]

I know, Dad.

[phone ringing]

Hildie?

Is it you?

Come on, talk to me, honey.

[foreboding music]

Hello?

Sonny?

Oh my god, she's there

with you isn't she?

I'm with mum.

Listen, she isn't doing too

good. She wants to see her.

You gotta come home.

Look, no one's gonna take her

away from you again, I

promise.

Sonny, say something.

What kind of father takes his

f*cking kid away from her

family?

You think they're not gonna

find out what you are,

what you both f*cking are,

they're gonna find out.

Alright, we're coming so you

better stay right f*cking--

[slams phone]

Hill!

Hildie!

[train rumbling]

[city noise]

[sad music]

[foot steps]

[slamming]

[night insects singing]

That was Auntie

and Grandma on the phone,

wasn't it?

Yeah.

Dad?

Tell me again,

about mom?

I told you, honey.

She's gone.

[slamming]

[driving music]

It wasn't like I wanted to

leave,

but to be honest,

I'd felt that way before.

See,

my dad always said that we

didn't belong

anywhere in this world,

except on the move.

Because there

were always people

out there who'd

want what we got.

And that, even though

it was always just me and him,

we were never alone.

[soft music]

He said it was because

we were part of something.

And that everything you

could see

was a part of it, too.

It was us,

and it was them.

Like a great love flowing

behind everything.

One big dream

with no end.

[night insects singing]

[distant voices]

[wind blowing]

[driving music]

[car engine]

[dog barking]

[engine revving]

[door opening]

What if I was way out in the

mountains?

On top of one even?

I'd climb up it.

But if you couldn't,

though?

But, I would.

You know I would.

For sure.

[driving music]

[dog barking]

[night insects singing]

[animal howling]

[foreboding music]

[engines shutting off]

[car doors slamming]

Dad, what are they?

Not supposed to

see them this time of

year.

I think maybe

they know we're here.

[fire crackling]

[people partying]

[truck motor]

[wind howling]

[ethereal music]

You.

You are the ones who

spoke to me

from deep down at the

bottom.

You're light warm,

weightless,

shimmering.

Your darkness surrounds me,

no limit to its depths.

You are that from

which all things come,

and to which

all things must return.

That which I once was,

but fear I am no longer.

You are beyond life,

and time,

our earthly stones and

stars.

I pray you don't find me now,

for you are the source.

[rumbling]

You are the source.

[insects singing]

[coughing]

[taking cap off bottle]

[heavy breathing]

[coughing]

[coughing inside trunk]

[coughing]

[slamming]

[rummaging]

f*ck.

What the f*ck?

Hey, whoa, whoa.

Hey, whoa, whoa!

Dad!

Mr. Johnns, let me explain.

Dad, wait, let me talk.

He's with me.

c**t, um, what?

Hill?

What the

f*ck is he doing here?

Dad, like I

said. He's with me.

I'm Glover, sir.

I'm...

a friend of Hildie's.

Well,

more than a friend.

What?

[laughs]

Hill! He's gonna have

f*cking people who care about

him out looking for him!

No, dad!

He's gonna have

his parents, or someone!

- Mr. Johnns, sir.

- Dad, listen!

He's gonna have

people out there looking for

him

they're gonna find

him and they're gonna

find us!

- Sir!

- Dad!

Mr. Johnns, sir.

Really,

no.

[throwing]

[slamming]

You and me

are gonna have a talk.

[people talking outside]

[motor choking]

[engine dying]

Hey, separate beds.

Now, sh*t! I'm

gonna go into town,

get some

things, supplies, f*ck!

See what I can't figure out.

And I want you

here when I get back.

Don't go anywhere.

And no hanky panky.

Dad!

Hanky panky.

Hanky panky.

[door shutting]

[upbeat music]

[screams]

[laughs]

[footsteps running]

[splashing]

[hooting]

[splashing]

I beat you!

To where?

It was my mom's.

Did you know her?

She tried to take me away

from my dad when I was little.

His family too.

That's when we left.

So where's she now?

She's gone.

Or that's what

my dad says anyways.

Like, dead?

I don't know.

That's all he ever says,

like it hurts him

too much to talk about it.

She used to collect them.

It's the only thing

I have left of hers.

Hello.

Please, sit down.

So nice to meet you finally.

I'm Samara, or Sammy,

or Sam.

Well, hello

Samara, or Sammy, or Sam.

Hi.

[pencil scribbling]

What are you drawing?

The both of you.

Can I see?

Maybe,

when it's finished.

[wrench clanking]

Hey there.

Name's Teresis but, everyone

calls me Terry.

So,

what seems

to be the trouble?

Try it now.

[motor choking]

sh*t.

Alright, hold on.

[people talking]

[fire crackling]

We're gonna be best friends.

You from around here?

How old are you?

[laughing]

You're f*cking drunk.

No I'm not.

You're drunk.

This seat taken?

Nice to meet you finally.

Cassus, it's polite to say

hello.

He can hear you he just

doesn't talk.

Hey, buddy

how come you're up

so late?

'Cause he's a night owl.

So was I.

So is she.

So, where you from?

Far from here.

Us too.

Small town out east,

you probably

never heard of it.

Really?

So are we.

Well, not such a small

town.

I mean, we were before.

Well, isn't that a thing.

So, what are you doing

out here?

[tools clanking]

[speaks in hindi]

He says most

likely it's your fuel pump.

He might have

to order some parts.

If he's lucky, then

maybe it'll be done in a week.

If not, then

it may take longer.

[kids playing]

Beautiful, isn't it?

What?

Oh you know, the trees,

the sky, everything.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it is.

I had a dream

about you. You know?

What about?

You are underwater,

sunk right down to the bottom

where nobody could find you.

And did they find me?

Hope so, that's when I

woke up.

Hmm.

You know, if that

ever happened to me

my dad would tear the

world apart trying to find me.

He would?

Yeah,

he really would.

And I'd do the same for him.

At least I think I would.

You know, it's

gonna take something big,

huge almost,

like you've never seen,

but, when it comes

I hope you can stay

with us.

What do you mean?

Just a big light and

a boom.

Anyway, I hope you can stay,

maybe forever.

Not forever.

Forever.

Promise?

Promise.

[frogs croaking]

So, we stack the dry

goods here

'til they're needed out front.

Okay, I can do that.

f*ck! Sorry.

Nope, the stock

boys will handle that.

Any perishables though,

milk, juice, frozen foods,

you'll load them into

the fridges,

all done from the back.

[trolly rolling]

[ticking]

[upbeat guitar music]

Glover, my man.

Yes, sir.

Billy, my man.

Thanks, brother.

Cheers.

[high pitched ringing]

[hooting]

[cheering]

[music becoming distant]

[hearing voices]

...this will all be

over soon...

...like a dream...

...something wonderful...

...like a dream,

older than time...

...real sorry about this,

brother...

...you two! in here...

...get him!...

[screams]

[music cuts out]

[bashes head]

[kid crying]

It's okay.

It's like he doesn't know

how to be in his own

skin sometimes.

I know.

It's like he doesn't wanna

be here.

I know.

[somber music]

[door opening]

[cars passing]

Thank you.

I can't hardly get him to

settle when he gets like that.

You've got a way with him.

It's alright.

sh*t, I could be

that way when I was his age.

So,

everyone says you'll

be taking off soon

when your

truck's fixed or, whatever.

Well, that's too bad

it feels like we

just barely got to know you.

Any idea where you'll

be heading?

Wherever we can,

I suppose.

I wish we could go

back home.

I miss it.

Well, I'm sure you know.

How long you been away?

Since before Cassus

was born.

My husband,

we're not together anymore,

he lured me off.

He was from out

here. From all over,

really.

So me being a stupid

girl in love, I followed him.

I did whatever he said,

until

I didn't anymore.

So why'd you leave?

One day, my ex-husband,

he turned to me and he said,

I scared him.

Cassus too.

He said he didn't

see any of himself in him.

And we weren't going

to take that, so we left.

Ended up here.

Though, I don't quite

know where here is anymore.

You know, it's always felt

like,

my life, like

I didn't have any control

over it.

Like, I was just sort of

going along,

making things up as I went.

Kind of like it was

one big dream I was having

and now I don't

know how to wake up.

Anyways, sorry.

I get talking about myself

sometimes, it's stupid.

No, it's not.

You know, I was thinking

if you were

making your way out east,

I could pay our way.

I mean, you wouldn't have

to worry about us.

I thought

maybe we could go

with you?

[dog panting]

[ethereal music]

Growing up,

[door opening]

my dad

always said that people,

[stove cooking]

and especially

people like us,

were always

more than one thing.

[swing creaking]

It was as though,

by seeing the world through

their eyes,

he found a truth

not everyone could see.

Which is something

that I gave him hope

and scared him to death all

at the same time.

[birds chirping]

See,

my dad always knew

there were others who saw

the world

in the same way he did.

Who knew of a life beyond

what we saw with our eyes.

That there were those who

felt closer to that other place

than any place here on earth.

And some

who would do

anything to go back there.

At the time,

I couldn't see what he meant.

[fire crackling]

[people talking]

Only a place

filled with the unknown,

endless

in its possibilities.

[freezer humming]

[boxes thudding]

[trolly rolling]

[sniffling]

[ticking]

f*ck.

[grunting]

[slamming]

f*ck!

[hooting]

Hey man,

yo, I got this.

f*cking great.

You can help me.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I'm more use out here.

Alright, stop.

Why?

Come with me.

[water lapping]

[low humming]

[cat crying]

[power sound]

[cat crying]

What are you

doing here, girl?

[rumbling]

[ominous music]

[snake rattling]

[screams]

[snake hissing]

[rattling]

[crunch]

[slices head]

[falls in the grass]

Listen, nobody's

arguing that, Sonny

but I just need

you to stay in the back.

I don't understand why.

I work hard. I do my thing.

I don't understand why

you'd have me in the back

when I could be helping

out there.

I can keep you on, as long

as you can promise me

that kind of thing

won't happen again.

Are you listening to me?

If you go,

don't bother coming back.

[semi truck passing]

Hey.

Dad, I found her

and I just-- I couldn't.

Dad, they saved me.

Dad, you have

to help or you have to.

All of you go.

Dad.

Out! Now!

[insects singing]

[soft music]

In his most private

moments,

my dad would also say

that in this life,

[water lapping]

there were two worlds.

One of light

and one of dark.

Neither able to

exist without the other.

The darkness always

creeping in.

And that,

with the tip of a hat

or a snap of the fingers,

[fingers snapping]

light

could turn to dark.

[ethereal music]

And it was our job

to stay here in this world,

to make sure the

light kept burning bright.

And so he did.

And he made me

promise that I would too.

[rumbling]

[shower running]

[pills rattling]

Both of us

living between this world

and the next,

older than time.

[frogs croaking]

I dreamt of you again

last night.

It's nice, I guess.

[door opening]

Hey!

What's gotten into you, girl?

[cat hisses]

[somber music]

[traffic noise]

[grunts]

We're gonna

be moving on soon.

You know, I hate seeing you

guys stuck like this,

but listen.

We got a place.

It belongs to some friends of

Sammy and me's folks and

they just let us

come and go as we please.

It's not too far from here.

Look,

you guys are welcome

to come along if you want to.

Just 'til you get back on your

feet and your truck's fixed

and everything.

It'd be no trouble.

Can I ask,

how come you

move around all the time?

Don't ever settle anywhere?

Well, I guess it's

'cause we're just like you.

The world is so big,

it'd be a shame

to only see a part of it.

Anyway,

offer stands.

[driving music]

[cars passing]

[car doors opening]

Brother!

You're back.

Been a while, I know.

And you brought friends.

[car doors slamming]

[wind blowing]

[wood chimes]

[laughing, screaming]

[upbeat guitar music]

[footsteps, grasshopppers]

[tools clanking]

And so it went.

[grating sound]

[knife chopping]

As we stayed

on with them,

our friendships grew

and our bonds tightened.

Hey Bill,

how do you know how

much of everything to put in?

Well, it's a

bit of art or science,

a feel for it a little bit,

but--

- All of us becoming a

sort of odd little family.

...a lotta years of practice.

Oregano.

A group of

misfits and strangers,

cast out into

this lonely world,

together.

[kids laughing]

Your brother is not crazy,

he's merely

miscast in a play.

He was born in the

wrong era,

on the wrong

side of the tracks,

on the wrong

side of the river.

[girls laughing]

- Lookit.

- Oh my God, that's

really pretty.

That one over there.

They're so pretty.

[fizzling]

[people talking]

[explosions]

[screaming, laughing]

[bang]

[hooting]

[bang]

[bang]

[bang]

[cheering]

And yet, my dad,

I couldn't understand him.

It was like, no

matter how hard I tried,

I couldn't reach him.

[fizzling]

He just kept moving

further and further away.

It was almost as if

he was waiting for something.

Some sort of sign

that only he could see.

[wind blowing]

[truck passing]

Like he only

wanted to keep moving.

[night insects singing]

Like he was looking for

some way he could put it all

together

and justify

leaving it all behind.

Which, quite honestly,

was the last thing

I wanted.

[knife clicking]

And the furthest

thing from my mind.

[cold wind blowing]

[plates clanking]

[crash in other room]

Ah!

f*ck!

Goddamnit!

f*ck!

[thud]

[groans]

[foot steps]

Calm down,

brother. Calm down--

[slam]

[behind door]

- I can't--

- Easy, easy--

None of this matters.

I can't do this anymore.

Shhh...

[whispered]

It's not gonna end

this way, okay?

Not like this.

Well, when?

Soon, brother.

Soon.

[insects, wind blowing]

Hey!

What the hell was that?

What?

All that

with what's his nuts.

Dude, give the guy a break.

Hey, whoa, whoa!

Don't this all

seem a little weird to you?

What do you mean?

What we saw in there,

those other kids,

this place, all of it.

You think it's weird?

Yeah, I do.

Well, I'm weird.

We're all weird, alright?

And if you don't like it,

if you don't like where we're

staying or how we're living...

You know,

you can just go home.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[on other end]

I'm looking for a

Mr. Johnns. Sonny?

[plates clanking]

His' truck's ready. You know,

you can tell him it wasn't

his fuel pump at all,

just a hole

punched in his carburetor.

Huh.

Well, there ain't

no one here by that name.

[hangs up]

[ambient music]

[car motor]

[people talking]

[plates, cutlery clanking]

Two green eggs and ham.

And one lumberjack.

We got this one, brother.

All yours, garbage guts.

And I'll wish you adieu, as I

make my way to the ladies

room.

[power sound]

[things shaking]

[glass breaking]

[rumbling]

Yo, what is this sh*t, man?

I don't know.

What?

She's never

f*cking done this before.

Help me!

[things shaking]

[power sound and

rumbling fade away]

[foot steps]

[Sonny ticking]

[birds chirping]

[ticking]

Here.

Take these.

Looks like I'm special

too, Dad.

Just like you.

[insects, wood chimes]

[door opening]

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

[sniffling]

[ticking]

[tin opening]

[door opening]

[foreboding music]

[traffic noises]

[motor starting]

[truck revving]

[wind blowing]

Beautiful, aren't they?

Both of them.

[night insects singing]

[tossing bags]

[shuts quietly]

[somber music]

[knocks on window]

[knocks again]

[door shutting]

[engine starting]

[wheels on gravel]

[banging]

[shuts off engine]

[keys jingling]

Real sorry

about this, brother.

Come on.

Get out.

[thud]

sh*t!

Get him!

[footsteps, scuffling]

[head bangs on truck]

[breathing, sobbing]

Don't cry, honey.

This'll all be over soon.

[foot steps, scuffling]

Hello.

I'm so glad you could

finally come and see my room.

Please.

Sit.

[scuffling, thud]

[thud]

Well that's nicer, isn't it?

I think we can relax for now.

We've been watching you

for a long, long time.

Just moving around

all corners of this place.

And I have to say,

we're so glad to

have you with us now.

Aren't you glad, too?

Well, that doesn't matter.

You know,

when we first met

I knew you were special.

And you are.

And so are we.

All of us

in our own ways.

But, you two.

You're something more.

And it's because you've

both seen it and felt it.

And when it's

really close to you,

you can touch it

and control it.

You see,

there's something

wonderful,

like a dream, older

than time.

And it's you.

And it's us.

And it's everything that you

can see all around you.

And people like you and me

and everyone of

them can feel it too.

It's always been here

and it always will be.

We dreamt this

world that we can see now,

but there is another one.

And I've been

dreaming about it

and about you

for a long time.

We've been watching you

just waiting for our chance

to finally meet you.

No.

Honey, it's not a bad thing.

See, your signs

in the sky told me so.

And now, you've

finally come to take us there.

Boom.

[shudders]

[foot steps on stairs, struggling]

Terry!

You two, in here!

[woman crying]

[door locking]

[thud]

[lock clanging]

[ticking]

[girl crying, boy struggling]

You all, in here!

No!

[banging on door]

[boy grunting]

[banging on door]

[sobbing]

[scuffling, woman crying]

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you. I

knew if I did, you would

never--

I know.

I thought we could

get away--

I know!

f*ck!

[violent slamming]

f*ck!

[ticking angrily]

[ticking]

[pencil drawing]

Where are they?

Locked up.

Like you said.

You need to wait

until everyone's asleep.

Then take away

what's most precious

to him.

And he'll

tear the world apart.

In a great light.

Like I always said.

But I love those kids.

I don't want to hurt no one.

He'll know.

It will be okay, big brother.

Do you believe me?

Yes.

See,

my dad always said

that it would

always just be me and him,

together.

[car pulling in]

[shuts off engine]

And that,

[banging]

no matter where I was...

[doors slamming]

whether it was in this world,

or the next,

or some other.

[ticking, angrily]

He would always find me.

[foot steps, scuffling]

And so I prayed to him.

Or them.

[falling on ground]

Or whatever it was.

[canoe dragging]

Do it.

[driving music]

Do it!

Find me.

[banging sound]

Find me now.

Wake up.

Please.

Wake up.

No!

Dad!

No!

Don't do this.

[sobbing]

[insects singing]

[birds chirping]

[ethereal music rising]

[highway sounds]

We have to go back.

What?

We can't go back there.

He would never leave them.

[foot steps on stairs]

I always said that one day,

I would take care of my dad

the way he

always took care of me.

And that on that day,

we could finally stop moving

and be a family,

together.

He said that in this world,

we just had to

hold on to each other.

Just hold on tight.

He said he

would always find me.

And so in the same way,

I would

always need to find him.

[swelling music]

And that's when

I finally felt

like I understood him.
