A Fisherman's Tale (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Some time ago...

when our lake was pristine,

you could see the fish so clearly in the water...

You could watch them swim...

Slowly...

The fish disappeared.

We can no longer go down to the shore,

as we used to...

Because she is there...

- Who, Grandpa?

The Miringua.

The one who finished with it all,

faster than anything.

We can hardly see any fish today.

Not the water

nor the lake.

- And why did it all end?

Nobody knows.

Only God knows.

- What can we do, Grandpa?

There is nothing left to do.

All we can do is...

Wait...

For Death.

A FISHERMEN'S TALE

Here it comes. Wait.

It's a big one.

Come on. You got it.

Wait.

- Its heavy.

- Wait.

You brought lemons?

- It's good. Isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Im starving!

- Me too.

One more and thats it.

One more drink!

- Cheers.

- Hush!

- The one over there?

Hold the bottle.

- Dumbass.

- Be quiet.

Hey!

I bought it.

Seriously! This time I bought it!

- I'm down

Come.

Come on.

I swallowed a gallon of water.

More like pee.

Gross.

Hey, do you know...

the name of the girl

who was fishing?

Where?

By the Piedra del Toro.

At what time?

Around... three in the morning?

Youre crazy, dude.

Women dont go fishing at that time.

Well, maybe she wasnt fishing.

But she sure was pretty.

You sure it wasn't the Miringua?

Ill go look for her.

Hello.

Hi.

I saw you the other night.

I am Aurora.

Fede.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Are you from around here?

You need help?

- Let me see.

- Look.

Have you been...

to Pedros Trouts?

No.

Man...

They're really good.

Youll like them.

Yeah.

I'll take you there.

Will you come?

How about tomorrow?

At... four?

Okay.

Damn!

What would you do?

If I had a shitload of money...

I would f*ck Bad Bunny every day.

To get his c*m in my mouth.

- This girl...

- Damn Karen.

Stop, Karen!

Youre gross!

- You kids dont know sh*t.

And what do you know?

What would you do?

If you had a load of money?

If I had a shitload of money?

Yeah, what would you do?

Id buy a boat.

And...

A new pair of sneakers, a shirt,

and I'd invite Stefi...

Where to?

Around the lake.

Ok, thats good.

That's bullshit.

That lame a*s c**t.

shes worse than her stupid sister.

- Who did you call a stupid?

- I called you a stupid.

Karen, back off.

Get over here, b*tch!

Give me that.

Give me that.

Hold it. Hold it.

Calm down. Sit.

- Karen! Calm down, Karen!

Son of a b*tch!

Let go of me as*h*le!

Let me go!

I'm gonna k*ll you b*tch!

I will f*ck you up!

- Calm down.

Damnit, Alex.

You have to be on my side.

Not with that b*tch.

Grow a pair.

Come out, son of a b*tch!

There's no one.

- Let it go.

- There's that son of a b*tch.

- Its a dog or something.

- Come out, b*tch!

Give me that.

Youre seeing things

because youre wasted.

Again?

And worse.

- She said she was being followed.

- Who?

What do you think? Shes wasted.

I told you not to follow

your sisters footsteps.

She will end up just like her father.

- Here we go again.

He was snatched by the Miringua

because he was stubborn

and a drunk.

Whats the Miringua?

A spell.

What stupid spell, Grandma?

Dad died. Let him rest in peace.

That b*stard

will never rest in peace.

Hes cursed.

Good night, Grandma.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Care for these boys, my Lord.

I ask you protect them from evil.

Bless them.

Keep this girl safe.

I ask this from you my Lord. I beg you.

Pedro, look!

Look!

Take a look, Pedro!

Pedro!

Look at this.

Theyre all rotten.

Youre crazy. Theyre fine.

Look!

Youre drinking too much, Jess.

Take it easy.

Hey! Are you okay?

Next time just ask for it.

Come!

Come here. Come on!

Come!

Im sorry.

Its okay.

- Did you steer the boat?

- No.

You want to start the boat?

Go ahead.

- How?

- Here.

Come on.

You have to pull really hard.

Again.

Thats it.

Have a seat.

Here, look. Come sit here.

Hold the steer.

Make sure to keep it straight.

Here's how you accelerate.

- Like this?

- This way.

Thats it.

Slow down. Slow down.

- You start slow.

- Ok.

Like this.

Hold it tight. Lets go that way.

If we want to go that way,

you turn this way.

See?

Faster.

Lets go straight that way.

But faster.

Harder, but little by little.

That's it.

Like this?

That's it. Good job!

Good job!

- Cool, isn't it?

- Yeah.

I brought something for you.

What is it?

- Cool.

- You like it?

Thank you.

Run!

What?

What are you doing with that jerk?

Who?

- Dont play dumb with me.

- Calm down.

- Where are you going?

- Let me through.

No.

- Move.

- No.

- Stop.

- No.

Stop it, Alicia.

Leave me alone, b*tch!

Damn!

The party ended

because of her bullshit.

I didn't get to see you.

It got really ugly at home.

Your sister f*cked up big time.

My sister got seven stitches.

Is she okay?

Yeah, but she's pissed off.

Whats their problem?

They should just solve their issues.

I only know she said

she wants her revenge.

She even made me promise

that I would not get near you.

I know its not that pretty,

but I want you to have it.

Dont. Its a gift

from your grandmother.

I want you to have it.

Its yours.

Thank you.

Hold it. My sister is nearby.

I came that way,

and didnt see anything.

Stefi!

Damn!

Its my sister.

- f*ck, what should we do?

- Wait.

- Estefi!

- What do we do?

Wait!

What are you doing?

- Not your business.

Leave me alone!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

Alex!

- Leave me alone!

- Alex!

Fede!

Are you fishing?

Im getting to it.

But...

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You never came.

I looked everywhere for you.

Want some?

Theres a spell on the lake.

Somethings wrong with it.

Take it easy, Jess. Lets go.

- Everything in it is rotten.

- Dont talk nonsense. Lets go.

I know what I saw.

- I know what I saw!

- Sit down.

I saw it!

- I saw it.

- Careful.

Take it easy.

It's ok.

Easy.

Now...

What are you talking about?

I saw something.

- Let him go, hes crazy.

What did you see?

The end of the world.

Hes stupid drunk.

You're crazy. You're not Ok.

Mind your own business, guys.

There's nothing to discuss.

Jesus, I suggest

you entrust yourself to God,

or to the Virgin Mary...

To whomever you want.

And get those thoughts

out of your head.

The fish!

God, the fish!

My God.

Hey, dude. Calm down.

Jesus!

- I told you.

- Calm down.

I told you.

You're crazy dude!

Calm down!

Calm down.

What's your problem?

- Get him to back down.

- Look! Look!

Take it easy, man!

Look!

Cool it dude.

The lake has a spell!

Calm down Jess!

- You're crazy dude.

- Look.

He needs a doctor.

Hes crazy.

Its dangerous for him

to keep on fishing.

Youre right.

Jess is sick.

He may cause an accident.

So... what can we do?

Teshi!

Did you see what we caught?

- Did you see?

The fish are dead!

- He cursed the lake!

The lake is cursed!

Whatre we going to do!

They are all dead!

I told you.

The Fish!

The Fish!

The Fish!

- That b*stard poisoned the water.

- He was tied up.

- He planned it ahead.

- Dont talk crap.

That guy was already crazy.

- Its the Miringua.

- Its a spell.

The lake is cursed!

What will we do with him?

Listen, Spell or no spell,

what he said is the only thing

that makes sense.

- Something bad will happen.

- Let's f*ck him up.

Shut up!

Something bad will happen.

Its already happening.

- Lets screw that b*stard.

- Yeah let's!

- He has to go.

- What the f*ck!

Enough already!

Enough!

We are the ones who are leaving.

Were going to bed.

Were tired.

Well make a decision tomorrow

after weve rested,

and stop talking out of our asses.

Tomorrow, nobody is going fishing.

Lets go.

Do you want the fish to return?

Karen!

We found your brother in the water.

- Doing what?

- Hes dead.

- Hes dead.

Lets go!

Alex.

My boy.

- Holy Mary, mother of God,

pray for him and for us sinners,

- now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed

is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Grandma.

I know who did it.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

Alex gave it to me.

We dont know what happened.

Im really sorry.

I loved him.

I would have never hurt him.

I dont have problems with you.

If he gave it to you, its yours.

It wasnt my sister either.

She was with me.

Why the f*ck does she butt in for?

My problem is with her sister.

She loved your brother.

Why would I care?

He's dead now.

She says she didnt do it.

Im gonna k*ll her sister.

Federico!

Hold it, dude!

Whats wrong with you?

Hey!

Why havent you gone fishing?

I would like to cry

But I cant

I wish I could remove

The pain I carry inside

And never remember

I will only free myself

From your deceit

I will only stay

Even if many years go by

All of it?

And prevent your heart

To cause me more pain

Because you wanted it, woman

You dont know how to cry

You dont know about love, ingrate

And even less about loving

You dont know about love, ingrate

And even less about loving

Youre not worth it

What do you want?

How are you?

Do you care?

Im sorry.

You fell in love

Where did you get them?

From the town file.

Jesus is gone.

Look.

Jesus left, and so did the curse.

What did you do?

What did you do?

What did you do?

If crying is a crime

If crying isn't a pleasure

And my being is screaming for it

I cry

Without wanting to cry

There are people that criticize

And gossip about my behavior

I dont care, nothing matters

If I do it

for you

And if I cry

I do it with my eyes

I do it to myself

And I get rid of my cry

And if I cry

Its my eyes that cry

Its my tears I shed

For a woman I love

Theres nothing left to do,

just...

wait...

for death.
