Embrujada (1969)

[bunniefuu]

From the misteries of the latin american
virgin jungles

Rises the Pombero, who comes to
live through indian myths.

Popular myth, evil and tragic,

Appears and disappears from the minds
of the people from a vast southamerican zone.

Take, ma'am.

We have all kind of
imported goodies,

besides typical products from
Paraguay.

Come, please.
-Sure.

After you.
-Thanks.

Is the lord here?
-Not yet, ma'am.

If it was my baby.

Ansise, Ansise!

How's been your day?
-Fine, I went shopping.

I like to see you happy.
-I'm not happy.

I just want what you can't give me.
-Wow, Its worst for me than for you.

We want a baby so much...

I have a curse on me, Leandro.

Why don't you go to see Mercurina?
Give it a try.

I know your problem, you've visited doctors,
cities, but you still have your problem.

You know what?
Your man is useless.

You'll have to find a usefull one.

Anyone, Mercurina?
-The one that can be more usefull, I said.

A woman who can't have a baby is useless.
I want a blonde baby.

with blue eyes, I want to kiss him,
have him by my side.

Just one baby...
-You'll have to find a man who can do it.

Not everybody is able to...
Maybe you are the one who can't...

I can!.

I'll tell you the truth.
As a man, you're useless!.

They brianwashed you against me, right?
-It's not necesary, I already knew it.

What are you waiting for?

Don't you know I love you?

What else I can give you, my love?

A baby, come on, do it to me.

Yes dear, right now.

Come, Leandro.

Sometimes, destiny has the final word.

Medicine is useless.

Is it possible, doctor?
There's no solution for me?

You're right, I'll have to tell you that
the guilty part is your man.

Your husband.

I already know... I'll have to find
another man, right?

I can't recommend you something
like that, you must take care of your mind.

Many girls go crazy, a progressive madness
that endanger their lives.

No, doctor, I will not go crazy,
but I'll sure have a baby.

I'll stop at nothing.

Leandro.
-My love.

It can't be.

Why?, I want to!.

I can't... I can't.

Everything is useless if I can't give you
the child you want, honey.

I can't, no, i can't...

Keep in mind that no one mess with Leandro,
You came here to work!, hit him!

Hope he will learn!
-Do I hit him again, my Lord?

This one is weak.
-Hit him!

What are you watching?
Wanna end like him?

Anyone who dares to defy my lord
will end up like him!

Go to work!

Oh, God, I can't stand this loneliness,
I got married to have a baby. Can you hear me?

You'll have one, Ansise, we can adopt one.
-No, I want my own baby!

From my own flesh and blood!
I wanna rise him.

Get out of my side, you make me sick!
I can't stand you anymore!

Don't touch me, don't!

I know what I'll do!
-You're crazy!

What do you want?
-Is yours?

Yeah, ma'am.
-Is so lovely.

I want one like this.

But I can't.

I want to work here.
-You can work perfectly.

But here's some rules.
-Rules?

Yes, being available for clients
eight hours.

How many?
-30 or 40, you can earn lots of money.

I'm not for the money, I want something else.
-Ok, you want men, you'll find them.

May I start today?
-Of course you can.

What were you doing there?
-You know sir, time to time...

You're fired!
-But Lord, I was warning you...

Get out, and take care of your own bussiness,
stop the gossip, get out!.

Ok, Ok.

My wife, in a wh*re house.
Its terrible!.

I'll have to find her.

Sir?
-Where's my wife?

But...
-Who's your wife?

Don't be rude, where's my wife?
-But who's your wife?

She came today, you know!
-Ah, your wife... she's in room seven.

Room seven... what a shame!
I'll kick her a*s!

Moment, sir, I rule here.

She made a deal with me.
-I'm her husband!

Did you understand! THE HUSBAND!
Now get out.

The husband! haha!

I'd never imagined to find a
woman like you in this place.

You're so beautiful, unique.

Who the hell are you?
-I'm her husband.

I own her.

Ha! the husband!
-Are you satisfied?

She's all yours.

Take, take! you could have chose
a better moment!

Satisfied, huh?

Let's go!

So you followed me? Aren't you ashamed?
I'm sick of you.

I'll leave you!
-No, please, Ansise, don't leave me!

Ansise, look how low have you descent.
Ruining my name in a filthy wh*re house.

You're crazy, Ansise, crazy!

Leave me in peace, will you?

You know well why I'm doing this.
I'll leave you, Leandro.

Here I found a man.
I want a son.

A son... a son.

You b*stard!

God!

And where's Leandro?
-You? He's supervising there.

Controlling the new employee, Juan.
He's new here.

Hello, Leandro, how are you?
-What are you doing here?

Just horse riding, I was
bored at home.

What else can I do?
-Get lost, I don't wanna see you here.

You have nothing to do here!

He's Juan, my new employee.

Ansise, my wife.
-Nice to meet you... ma'am.

Nice to meet you too.

Come here!
-Leave me! Whay are you doing this?

Because I like you. I've heard
about you, finally we meet each other.

I'm a married woman,
Leandro is your boss.

I know, and I don't care.
-Let me continue.

You wont scare me that way.
Let's go!

Are you crazy?
-No, I'm not.

I'm crazy about you, come on,
lets take a walk.

Did he please you? I saw it all!
-What do you want? I have no choice.

Look at yourself...
I want youth.

Not an old man, haha!
Old man, stupid!

I'm going to k*ll you.

I'm going to k*ll you.

Forgive me, forgive me.

It's my fault...

It's my fault, forgive me,
Ansise.

I love you, more than you
will ever imagine.

Yeah, Juan, was him.
It's horrible.

Tell me, did he tell you something?

Nothing, I just heard a
bizarre whistle...

...that freezed my blood.
-Have you told something to your husband?

He knows nothing, Juan.
What can I tell him...

You're right, why?

Let's get out of here, far away,
I love you.

I love you, Ansise.

I love you, really.

Me too.

I love you.

I had a horrible vision.

I felt a horrible monster
over me.

And I gave him my body.

With pleasure.

Nobody took my place, I didn't
notice nothing.

Will I have a baby, Juan?

A baby, a baby.

Why do you say that?

What? about the baby?
-About the monster.

So, you heard about Pombero...
It's an old legend from this place.

Ansise, if you go with the witches,
you'll end up bad.

They will drive you crazy...
-Pombero is real, Juan.

It's true, I saw him.

I saw him!

I was hers... he possessed me.

Now I think you're crazy.

So, the myth is real...

I want a baby, Juan.
-Pombero's baby?

I don't mind if he's from Pombero.

A baby, I want a baby.

Are you here for your sins?

No father, something awful
is happening.

You know, father? Pombero....
I've been his prey.

Pombero? Don't believe in that.

Those are things for ignorant people.
-No, father...

...is real, I saw him!
I need your help.

Take it away from me, I'm afraid.

Poor woman...
pray, pray, daughter.

And believe in God,
He will be by your side...

...to protect you.
-Yes, father, yes.

We were worried, what was
you doing in that street alone?

Went to the church.
-The priest already told us.

You're having hallucinations.
-Sometimes I feel...

...dying.

Leandro, I'm going crazy.

Crazy, crazy.

Now rest, please, and take
it easy.

I'm going with you.
-Thanks.

Let's have a drink.
-Ok... cheers.

Your wife is pretty ill, sir.
-Do you think?

She needs rest, I'm worried
about her mind.

Maybe is an old trauma, or
altered nerves.

Is a complex diagnose.
-It's an emotional thing I guess.

She's complicating her own life.
-With all those myths and hallucinations.

Everybody talks about Pombero and
witchcraft... ignorants.

And she seems to be into that.

What can we do?
-She needs love and affection, please her.

She needs love.
-That's more difficult.

Your little foot.

Come here.

Don't smoke?
Don't get mad.

Your foot.

How do you feel?
-Fine, congratulations for your photos.

Not bad at all.

I saw Juan.
-Really?

He went to the hills,
looking for girls.

Yesterday was payday.
They are desperate for girls.

Girls?

Where they find them?
-At brothels.

In few hours they get all
the money the men earned.

Poor guys.

They can do anything for a woman.

And I have you.

And you don't get benefit from me...

Finally, Juan!

Come on, girls, the guys are waiting.
Hurry.

Be nice with the girls.
-Easy. Come on, girls.

They look happy.
-Last time they were better ones.

These are cheaper.
-Good enough for the boys.

I'm going.
-Don't leave, there's enough for everyone.

No, too many men.
I'll be back to pick them up.

Of course you're not interested.
You have beautiful a girl...

...clean and cheap...
-Don't talk like that!

Understand?

I'll be back soon.
-Cool, I'll take care of the girls.

See you!
-Have fun!

Later, Peralta!

You?... what are you looking for?

I'm just another wh*re, I'm here for
what my husband can't give me.

What? Cheating on your husband?
I'll beat you up!

I'll explain you...
-I need no explainations!

Leave me!
-Let's go!

Get in!

You're just another wh*re!

Why are you doing this, Peralta?
-I'll tell everything to Leandro!

Don't tell him.

I can reward you.

I just want to be another wh*re.

You'll be mine! Only mine!

Mine, Ansise, mine...
I want you!

I want you just for me.

Come and kiss me.

No, I can't!

A baby, Peralta, a baby.

Do it.

No!
-I'm yours.

Yours...
-I can't!

I can't cheat Leandro!

But... are you...?

Yes.
-Why?.

In the jungle, anything can happen...

Why are you so violent then?

I don't know, plese don't
ask me more.

You know... I can't deceive Leandro.

He gave me everything.

Leandro will never forgive me.

I never imagined this.

Get dressed.

Go home.

"To Peralta, with love, Leandro"

But this is mine...

Leandro likes it...

Leandro likes it, huh?

Leandro likes it.

Please go, ma'am, go to
the woods and find Jacinto.

He lives in a small ranch, trust me.
I won't tell anything.

Where are you from?
You're not a wh*re.

You're a flower in the middle
of the jungle and my life.

I'm looking for something you could
give me.

I'm so poor, I can't
give you anything.

Who knows? Maybe you are better
than you think.

You know... I want a baby.

Will be a great pleasure.

You are the only light in these
black days.

I work all day long.
-Tell me, do you know Pombero?

Don't talk about him!
He can be mean.

But he can be good too, he's bad
when fall in love with a woman.

Have you ever seen him?

I think so, but he vanished.

And never saw him again.

I only know that I leave the
booze bottle by the half....

...and then is empty.

I'm afraid to touch you...
I can break you into my arms.

It's him, it's Pombero!

Leave me! It's him!.

It can't be!
-Yes, it's him!, I'm sure.

Show up!

It's him.
-I'll k*ll him with my machete!

What are you doing here?
-Nothing, just waiting for you.

Get in please.
-Yes, yes.

I don't understand, I think I'm
going crazy by terror.

And sometimes I think a violent
force drags me.

And I lost my mind.
-Pombero?

Don't name him!
-You're crazy.

I've heard about him
my whole life.

Some say he looks
like a rooster.

Others say he looks like a pig,
some say that saw some old clothes...

Can be true... the old clothes.

He wears old clothes.

And has a horrible face.

Why you stopped the car, Juan?

Don't you see?

I see nothing but a pig.

No, it's the Pombero.

let's go, stupid, what are
you waiting for?

Move, go, move!

It was a pig...

People is working.
-10.000 dumbs logs to Buenos Aires.

That's a lot of money.
-Enough to live my life.

And give myself some treats.
Another thing...

Today is party day?
-That's right, dear boss.

Bring me that new boy.
-Juan?

Yes, Juan.

I'll wait.

Have a seat, boy.

Sit down!
-Yes, sir.

Want some?
-No.

Thanks.

Are you Ok, Mr Leandro?

I know everything...
you enjoy my wife.

Well, better you than other one.

You know what?
She wants a baby.

I have nothing with her...
Ok, don't worry.

She wants a baby.

Give her a baby.

So, she will leave me in peace.

Your wife, Mr Leandro...
is bewitched.

Good, maybe...

I'm paying the price.

They say when Pombero fells in love,
he kills the husband...

...or makes him stupid.

I'm... already a stupid.

Don't say that... you? stupid?

Where did you know Ansise?

Ansise has all the curse
of her race.

What's that?
-Guarani indians.

She's Ansise, cacique's daughter.

That's how my disgrace
began.

I asked Ansise to the
tribe's chief, Canaiti.

I took her with me.

Then we got married.

Suddenly she used
to disapear.

I looked for her desperately.

And found her performing wird
rites in the jungle.

She seemed to love me, I educated her.
I took her to Buenos Aires.

We spent three unforgettable years.

But she never forgot her tribe.

I ask her not to talk about that.

Excuse me Mr Leandro.

Now I understand, she has
all the mistery of the jungle.

She will never get rid of that.

She's wild...

She has a fire inside.

She's a vulcano of passion.

Of untamed desire.

Sadly she...
-Huh?

Excuse me sir, may I go?

Yes.

He's sick, he suffers too much.

Is a weird person.

Must to disappear, I... I love you.

But we'll never be happy
with him alive...

Never.
-I'll never leave this place.

I'm in every waterfall,
in the red soil...

that looks like blood.
My people is here.

In my veins flows blood that's
not like yours.

I just want a baby, Juan.

A baby from you and me.
-And your husband?

Aren't you tired of this place?

No, I hear its roar since
I was a little girl.

This is part of my life.

I can't stand the waterfalls or the
jungle anymore.

Nor me...

Can't stand you either.

You love Juan, right?

Yes, to anyone who gives me love.
You ruined my life.

I lived happily with mi people.
You are the scum of civilization.

You are a pervert.

Don't act like that. I've
always tried to please you.

Let's go, come with me.

Come with me...

You've always liked this place.

Waterfalls have a special
glow today...

Let's go.
-Come...

No, come!

Leave me!
-You come with me!

Come on!
-Leave me!

You are crazy!
-You don't deserve to live!

Witch!
You ruined my life!

Witch!

I'm not a witch!
-You're bewitched! You must die!

Damn you!
-You're crazy!

Leave me!
-I'm going to k*ll you!

Leandro...

Aren't you tired of this place?

No, I hear its roar since
I was a little girl.

This is part of my life.

I can't stand the waterfalls or the
jungle anymore.

Nor me...

Can't stand you either.

You love Juan, right?

Yes, to anyone who gives me love.
You ruined my life.

You are the scum of civilization.

You are a pervert.

Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!

Where's Juan?

Look over there.
-Thanks.

Juan.
-What happens Ansise?

He's dead.
-Who?

Leandro.
-How?

Pombero did it.
-So... you're free.

Juan, I fear for you.
-Don't worry about me, honey

I'm going with you, I have money.

I will be free.

Away from this wild jungle,
from this witchcraft.

Let's go, Ansise.
Let's go.

I want you to be my wife.
Leave this jungle, come with me.

I'll teach you to live and love.

I love you Ansise,
come with me.

I love you, I love you.

Damn you!

I'm so happy, I'll have
a baby.

I can feel it inside...
He will be like you.

Like us, you mean?

never mind Leandro.
He wasn't usefull.

Why are you laughing?
Don't laugh!

Leave me!
You hurt me!

I can't laugh now?

You're gonna get k*lled too.

Be careful, Juan.

They will k*ll you.

They will k*ll you.

Don't make jokes, please.

A new car that doesn't work.

Poor Juan, I told you you're
gonna be k*lled.

Poor thing, I love you.

I love you so much.
