Given the nature and fame of the main character in this story,
it is necessary to specify that what you are about
to see is not a document, an official biography,
nor a punctually historical reconstruction of the facts.
It is a film that fictionally interprets the reality
of its character and the universe portrayed,
to offer a particular vision of the incessant search of Flora Tristan
to achieve a material inheritance first, and then fight to leave
an immaterial and transcendent legacy in the world.

00:00:37.333 --> 00:00:38.083
The Inheritance of Flora

00:00:38.083 --> 00:00:39.166
A film by Augusto Tamayo

00:02:05.083 --> 00:02:06.166
Captain.

00:02:07.625 --> 00:02:11.083
How many times do I have to tell you that
I don\'t like being interrupted.

00:02:11.333 --> 00:02:14.166
Did you return the visit to Madame Perrenoud?

00:02:14.166 --> 00:02:17.541
The day before yesterday she came to look for you... you, specially.

00:02:19.625 --> 00:02:22.500
Why do you think I should visit her back?

00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:29.000
Perhaps out of courtesy?
That lady has a special esteem for you.

00:02:31.041 --> 00:02:36.500
Matilde, Matilde... Do you never get tired?

00:02:37.625 --> 00:02:42.791
The one who doesn\'t get tired is Madame Perrenoud.
I assure you that she will return.

00:02:42.791 --> 00:02:46.125
By the way, they\'re looking for you.

00:02:46.125 --> 00:02:50.291
Sorry, but this time I think you will receive this person.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.875
Oh yes?

00:02:56.541 --> 00:02:58.666
You know I don\'t like visitors.

00:02:59.458 --> 00:03:01.000
You know me.

00:03:05.125 --> 00:03:06.416
It\'s okay.

00:03:08.541 --> 00:03:09.750
Let her in.

00:03:16.833 --> 00:03:18.375
Come on miss.

00:03:43.791 --> 00:03:47.416
Are you... Aline?

00:03:51.708 --> 00:03:55.375
I see you haven\'t forgotten her in all these years.

00:03:57.125 --> 00:03:59.791
I remember you from the stories of my mother.

00:04:05.791 --> 00:04:06.500
Take this.

00:04:14.583 --> 00:04:15.625
Flora...

00:04:58.125 --> 00:04:59.041
Excuse me,

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:02.083
do you work here?

00:05:02.083 --> 00:05:03.500
I am the owner.

00:05:04.958 --> 00:05:08.166
Zacharias Chabrié, at your service,

00:05:08.166 --> 00:05:10.291
Nice to meet you.

00:05:10.291 --> 00:05:13.166
Flora, Flora Tristan.

00:05:13.166 --> 00:05:14.625
Delighted.

00:05:14.625 --> 00:05:18.458
I’ve heard there is a ship… El Mexicano, ready to sail to Peru.

00:05:18.750 --> 00:05:25.833
Yes. It arrives to Valparaíso, and then you have to take a boat
to El Callao or to Islay.

00:05:26.333 --> 00:05:28.166
And how much does the trip cost?

00:05:28.375 --> 00:05:30.208
Ten thousand francs.

00:05:30.208 --> 00:05:34.750
Thanks... I was curious. Peru...

00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:36.833
Are you interested in traveling to Peru?

00:05:36.833 --> 00:05:39.000
I have relatives in Arequipa.

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:40.333
My father was born there.

00:05:40.791 --> 00:05:43.000
I know a lot of people from Arequipa

00:05:44.166 --> 00:05:45.750
What is your father\'s name?

00:05:46.291 --> 00:05:47.750
Mariano Tristan.

00:05:48.416 --> 00:05:50.041
Is he related to Pío Tristán?

00:05:50.041 --> 00:05:51.375
He’s his older brother.

00:05:51.375 --> 00:05:53.333
The world is a handkerchief!

00:05:55.416 --> 00:05:59.541
It turns out you are the niece of my friend Pío Tristán!

00:06:00.833 --> 00:06:04.791
Of course… You told me that your name was Flora Tristan…

00:06:05.208 --> 00:06:09.166
And do you know my grandmother, Doña Mercedes Moscoso?

00:06:09.166 --> 00:06:16.333
Of course, a very loved woman, very respected...
with a lot of money.

00:06:16.333 --> 00:06:18.333
I would give anything to meet her.

00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:22.333
When I go to Arequipa, your uncle receives me at his house.

00:06:23.375 --> 00:06:24.750
A mansion.

00:06:28.625 --> 00:06:33.041
I imagine your husband must be very eager to meet your family too?

00:06:33.333 --> 00:06:34.458
I\'m a widow.

00:06:35.416 --> 00:06:36.625
I\'m so sorry.

00:06:37.916 --> 00:06:42.833
Well, my ship leaves in one week.

00:06:43.416 --> 00:06:48.083
Well, maybe some other time.
I\'m late, excuse me.

00:06:49.083 --> 00:06:50.333
Where do you live?

00:06:50.541 --> 00:06:54.333
In the \"Bilbao\" inn, near the St. Andrew\'s Cathedral.

00:06:57.750 --> 00:06:58.875
Nice to meet you.

00:07:09.750 --> 00:07:13.500
I know you disagree, son, I know you,

00:07:14.791 --> 00:07:18.333
but yesterday I changed my will, don\'t say anything,

00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:20.625
I already signed it.

00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:26.250
I’m sure you have your reasons, you have always done what’s right, mother.

00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:29.791
I\'m leaving part of my possessions to your brother\'s daughter.

00:07:31.958 --> 00:07:33.291
She carries my blood

00:07:34.208 --> 00:07:35.750
and she must receive something.

00:07:36.875 --> 00:07:38.250
It’s the right thing to do.

00:07:40.916 --> 00:07:42.958
You are very generous, mother.

00:07:43.458 --> 00:07:47.208
After Mariano left us in debt when he died.

00:07:47.916 --> 00:07:50.833
He never assumed responsibility for the estate.

00:07:51.125 --> 00:07:53.083
His daughter is not to blame.

00:07:54.208 --> 00:08:00.333
Since your brother died, his wife and daughter
were left helpless.

00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:04.916
I always regreted not helping them.

00:08:05.083 --> 00:08:09.250
Mother, you never agreed with that union…

00:08:09.416 --> 00:08:12.958
I mean, we\'re not even sure that they got married.

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:19.208
You yourself said that no vulgar french woman would
enter our family.

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.083
Shut up please,

00:08:21.958 --> 00:08:24.541
you don\'t know how much I regret that.

00:08:25.833 --> 00:08:28.166
I have not been a good Christian.

00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:35.125
I never saw your brother again and
never got to meet my granddaughter.

00:08:36.041 --> 00:08:42.750
You don\'t know how much I regret leaving them in absolute
poverty all these years.

00:08:44.375 --> 00:08:53.083
Please, son, don\'t let me die with this great guilt.

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:59.250
Mom, I correspond with the daughter of Mariano,
I’m not a monster.

00:09:00.333 --> 00:09:02.916
Benítez has the will.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:10.750
I am leaving her an amount of money equal
to 600,000 francs.

00:09:11.916 --> 00:09:19.125
Promise me, son, that you are going to send someone
to bring her here, and that you will give her her inheritance.

00:09:20.916 --> 00:09:24.583
It seems excessive to me, but anyway...

00:09:27.208 --> 00:09:34.208
She is used to living poorly, with
2,500 francs a year she could live decently.

00:09:34.750 --> 00:09:41.833
And finally, son, it is my will and you have to respect it.

00:09:42.041 --> 00:09:45.250
Besides, we’re not even sure if she is his daughter.

00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:51.208
Your uncle Pedro knows her and says that she’s his living portrait.

00:09:51.208 --> 00:09:56.458
My uncle Pedro is an old man who likes pretty young women…
The girl dazzled him.

00:09:58.125 --> 00:10:05.250
I\'m not feeling well, Pio. I can hardly see anymore.

00:10:08.416 --> 00:10:13.958
Promise me, son, that you’ll do what I’m asking.

00:10:16.250 --> 00:10:22.791
Talk no more... talk no more. Rest... rest.

00:11:06.291 --> 00:11:10.250
I think your plan to meet your family is very laudable, Flora.

00:11:10.875 --> 00:11:17.583
It’s a desire that comes naturally, an impulse of humans
with good intentions.

00:11:18.208 --> 00:11:20.000
That’s what guides me, don Pedro.

00:11:20.833 --> 00:11:24.958
We, the Goyeneches, are very close to our cousins Tristán.

00:11:25.291 --> 00:11:29.750
I’m close with Pio, despite the distance between
Bordeaux and Arequipa.

00:11:31.041 --> 00:11:33.041
Your family recognizes you, Flora.

00:11:33.458 --> 00:11:40.458
The biggest proof are the 2,500 francs that your uncle has already
sent you, and that I suppose you have received.

00:11:40.791 --> 00:11:44.583
As well as your right to receive 3,000 pesos,

00:11:44.583 --> 00:11:56.625
if you accept that come from their Bordeaux income, at a
change of 4 francs, 85 cents per peso.

00:12:00.541 --> 00:12:03.083
Let me think about it, Don Pedro.

00:12:03.583 --> 00:12:08.875
I have written to your uncle about your great qualities,

00:12:09.250 --> 00:12:16.041
but let me tell you that I find it inappropriate for you to undertake
that long and dangerous journey.

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:18.958
I\'m not afraid of its risks, Don Pedro.

00:12:20.750 --> 00:12:31.250
Alright, so there you have my letters for the family, so they treat you with justice,
and with the love that is due to the common breed.

00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:35.583
But to avoid unpleasant frustrations,

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:43.083
I must advise you not to overdo your request
of what you consider your rights.

00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:48.125
Why would asking for my rights be an excess, Don Pedro?
I don\'t understand.

00:12:49.416 --> 00:12:55.583
I care about you, Florita.
And my cousin Pio knows that,

00:12:56.291 --> 00:13:00.750
but the uses and customs from here, are not the same there.

00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:04.791
Rights are rights in any part of the world, Don Pedro.

00:13:06.750 --> 00:13:10.166
Oh, Florita, how naive you are.

00:13:13.041 --> 00:13:16.791
It\'s only forgivable because of your age and condition.

00:13:17.250 --> 00:13:18.791
It’s not like that.

00:13:20.333 --> 00:13:22.750
Are you telling me that I won’t get what
I’m pursuing?

00:13:22.916 --> 00:13:28.583
No, I\'m just suggesting you don\'t exaggerate in your request.

00:13:29.333 --> 00:13:34.250
You are vigorous... But I assure you that your uncle is
even more vigorous.

00:13:35.208 --> 00:13:38.458
It is a reasonable and cordial advice.

00:13:39.583 --> 00:13:42.291
You know everything I\'ve been through, Don Pedro.

00:13:42.875 --> 00:13:44.250
I know, and I\'m sorry.

00:13:45.125 --> 00:13:49.250
But I notice in you an immoderate nervous intensity

00:13:50.250 --> 00:13:54.583
That you must control if you go to Peru.

00:13:55.791 --> 00:13:56.916
Are you feeling sick?

00:13:57.250 --> 00:14:00.208
No, I just need a little air.

00:14:00.625 --> 00:14:02.250
Sit down. Do you want a glass of water?

00:14:02.333 --> 00:14:08.000
No, no, thank you, Don Pedro. I’d rather get going,
if you would excuse me, please.

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.416
Are you sure? You look pale. Sit down.

00:14:10.791 --> 00:14:15.208
I\'m fine. Thank you, Don Pedro. Excuse me.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.750
Of course, Flora, may God be with you.

00:14:19.125 --> 00:14:26.291
And may He guide you if you finally decide
to undertake this severe adventure. Bye, my girl.

00:14:26.291 --> 00:14:27.208
Bye.

00:14:39.291 --> 00:14:40.208
Take a seat.

00:14:49.791 --> 00:14:55.333
I remember you perfectly since that night we met in
Bordeaux.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.958
You are very pretty,

00:15:01.375 --> 00:15:03.125
like your mother.

00:15:07.333 --> 00:15:09.333
I don\'t look so much like her,

00:15:10.791 --> 00:15:14.541
she’s more similar to the Tristans, her paternal family.

00:15:20.041 --> 00:15:21.750
You met them, right?

00:15:21.916 --> 00:15:25.375
I knew her uncle... Pío Tristán.

00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:28.250
Were they really so rich?

00:15:29.541 --> 00:15:31.541
The Tristans were very rich.

00:15:33.166 --> 00:15:35.916
For what I’ve heard, they still are.

00:15:38.208 --> 00:15:43.541
After her trip to Peru, my mother returned transformed,

00:15:44.291 --> 00:15:46.000
She was no longer the same.

00:15:46.916 --> 00:15:49.375
Same thing happened to me after meeting her.

00:15:53.458 --> 00:15:55.416
Aren\'t you going to open the letter?

00:15:58.625 --> 00:16:00.041
I\'ll read it later.

00:16:04.583 --> 00:16:06.541
Your mother has become famous,

00:16:08.250 --> 00:16:10.041
Although a little crazy...

00:16:14.208 --> 00:16:16.458
All France speaks about her.

00:16:17.750 --> 00:16:20.041
The romantic, combative

00:16:21.416 --> 00:16:22.875
and socialist writter.

00:16:25.625 --> 00:16:26.916
That is my mother.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.791
Do you believe in utopias, captain?

00:16:32.041 --> 00:16:32.625
No.

00:16:34.458 --> 00:16:36.250
They’re utopias for a reason.

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.000
And what does your mother do now?

00:16:47.083 --> 00:16:49.291
Does she distribute flyers in canteens?

00:16:51.166 --> 00:16:54.250
Works in some poorman´s hospital?

00:16:56.916 --> 00:17:01.458
The flower inmersed in the swamp...

00:17:38.375 --> 00:17:40.291
Where’s my money?

00:17:41.583 --> 00:17:44.458
What are you talking about, which money?

00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:47.166
The money I had in the drawer.

00:17:48.166 --> 00:17:50.208
The twenty-six gold francs.

00:17:50.458 --> 00:17:51.250
I don\'t know,

00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:55.500
you must have put it somewhere else and you don\'t
remember anymore...

00:18:04.250 --> 00:18:06.250
What have you done with my money?

00:18:12.250 --> 00:18:13.375
Where is it?

00:18:14.250 --> 00:18:17.333
We had no flour. There was nothing. Your children
had to eat.

00:18:18.458 --> 00:18:20.041
Are you crazy?

00:18:21.916 --> 00:18:27.541
Do what you have to do, but when I come back,
my money is in that drawer.

00:18:28.916 --> 00:18:30.416
Do you understand?

00:18:31.875 --> 00:18:36.500
You are useless… And now you’re also a thief.

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.041
They are your children, I had to feed them…

00:18:46.791 --> 00:18:49.583
If you\'re going out, don´t bother to come back.

00:18:55.833 --> 00:18:56.958
What?

00:18:59.750 --> 00:19:00.458
Nothing.

00:19:01.875 --> 00:19:04.833
I can\'t stand your great lady pretensions.

00:19:08.041 --> 00:19:09.458
Bastard.

00:19:09.458 --> 00:19:15.375
I am Mariano Tristan’s legitimate daughter,
a Peruvian gentleman, from a rich, distinguished family…

00:19:15.833 --> 00:19:17.833
Not an ignorant jerk.

00:19:18.625 --> 00:19:21.958
And where are your rich relatives right now
that I don’t see them, huh?

00:19:22.791 --> 00:19:26.166
They despise you and your mother for the trash you are.

00:19:26.875 --> 00:19:31.541
They live far away. Peru is in America,
which you surely don’t know.

00:19:33.416 --> 00:19:34.625
Bastard.

00:19:35.791 --> 00:19:38.458
Of rich American but bastard.

00:19:42.958 --> 00:19:45.000
Your father was disgusted by the idea of marrying your mother.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.791
Shut up!

00:19:45.791 --> 00:19:47.083
You starving bitch.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000
Why don\'t you thank me
for marrying you and giving you a name.

00:19:53.416 --> 00:19:55.500
You never loved me.

00:19:56.250 --> 00:19:58.291
Tramp.

00:19:59.375 --> 00:20:01.291
Damn bastard.

00:20:01.458 --> 00:20:03.541
That\'s enough!

00:20:03.833 --> 00:20:05.583
I should beat you up.

00:20:06.041 --> 00:20:08.500
Don\'t you dare, I\'m capable of killing you!

00:20:13.750 --> 00:20:17.958
Now you know who’s in charge here.

00:20:22.583 --> 00:20:25.000
Ungrateful bastard.

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:09.666
Flora! It\'s midnight! What are you doing
in the streets? Come in.

00:21:09.666 --> 00:21:12.583
I left him, I left Chazal!

00:21:17.833 --> 00:21:23.291
What about your children? How are you going to do this to them!
Leaving them fatherless.

00:21:23.291 --> 00:21:26.916
That’s not a father. That\'s anything but a father.

00:21:33.166 --> 00:21:35.833
When you got married, he loved you.

00:21:36.625 --> 00:21:39.875
But well, these things happen.

00:21:39.875 --> 00:21:43.291
No one marries for love, there are a thousand other
reasons.

00:22:09.333 --> 00:22:13.291
I think I should leave, so you
can read the letter in peace.

00:22:13.291 --> 00:22:15.166
No, Aline, stay.

00:22:15.916 --> 00:22:16.833
Sit down.

00:22:17.875 --> 00:22:20.458
Tell me more about your mother.

00:22:21.666 --> 00:22:24.916
It must not have been easy to be the daughter of a woman
like Flora.

00:22:26.791 --> 00:22:29.291
Are you going to read the letter or…or not?

00:22:36.958 --> 00:22:39.458
I heard that you retired.

00:22:41.083 --> 00:22:44.375
Why?
You’re not that old.

00:22:46.708 --> 00:22:48.625
I got tired, that\'s all.

00:22:49.666 --> 00:22:50.833
And what do you do now?

00:22:51.541 --> 00:22:52.583
I read,

00:22:52.958 --> 00:22:53.791
I make music,

00:22:54.958 --> 00:22:55.958
I’m in some businesses as well…

00:22:56.458 --> 00:23:00.958
Since I didn\'t have children, what I\'ve got is enough for me.

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.958
Would you have liked to have children?

00:23:05.583 --> 00:23:07.791
I wish you were my daughter.

00:23:09.041 --> 00:23:10.375
Did Flora have more children?

00:23:11.791 --> 00:23:12.416
No.

00:23:13.791 --> 00:23:16.583
My two brothers died when they were little.

00:23:19.083 --> 00:23:26.166
Well, it\'s getting late and I\'ve already fulfilled
my mother’s wishes… I don\'t wanna bother you anymore.

00:23:26.166 --> 00:23:27.666
Do not go please.

00:23:28.791 --> 00:23:33.833
Stay and have dinner with me. You told me you came all
the way from Bordeaux, you must be hungry.

00:23:34.708 --> 00:23:35.375
Captain,

00:23:35.875 --> 00:23:37.833
I... I really prefer...

00:23:37.833 --> 00:23:38.541
Come on,

00:23:39.458 --> 00:23:44.083
Stay with this lonely old sea wolf.

00:23:47.458 --> 00:23:48.625
Okay...

00:23:49.083 --> 00:23:51.291
I don\'t want to be rude with you.

00:23:51.875 --> 00:23:57.791
But tomorrow I have to go back to Bordeaux and I would like
to return with your answer.

00:23:57.791 --> 00:23:58.583
Okay.

00:23:59.333 --> 00:23:59.958
Okay...

00:24:03.666 --> 00:24:07.291
But I can\'t think with an empty stomach.

00:24:09.083 --> 00:24:10.583
Sit down.

00:24:18.416 --> 00:24:21.791
My mother remembers the trip to Peru constantly.

00:24:23.416 --> 00:24:29.791
How old were you when your mother undertook that journey?
You were so little.

00:24:30.666 --> 00:24:31.541
Eight.

00:24:33.583 --> 00:24:40.458
We lived running away from my father who wanted to take me away.

00:24:41.166 --> 00:24:44.041
My mother was really desperate.

00:24:48.041 --> 00:24:50.875
My very dear relative Don Pedro Goyeneche.

00:24:51.791 --> 00:24:59.500
First of all, I want to thank you again with all the strength of my heart,
for having received me at your home

00:24:59.625 --> 00:25:03.541
and putting me in touch with Don Pío Tristán, my uncle.

00:25:04.333 --> 00:25:09.916
Single as I am, with no one to provide me with any form of support

00:25:09.916 --> 00:25:12.708
and with the burden of my very sick mother.

00:25:13.041 --> 00:25:15.916
My peruvian family is the last hope I have left.

00:25:19.291 --> 00:25:23.333
Without the affection of a husband or the children I don\'t have,

00:25:23.791 --> 00:25:26.458
only your affection is a consolation for me.

00:26:06.583 --> 00:26:10.500
I\'m exhausted, I want to close.

00:26:11.375 --> 00:26:13.375
And you? Do you never get tired?

00:26:13.541 --> 00:26:17.500
I need the job, I\'m saving for my ticket to Peru.

00:26:18.833 --> 00:26:20.541
Let me invite you a drink.

00:26:22.291 --> 00:26:24.750
It\'s a very good spanish anise.

00:26:30.666 --> 00:26:33.291
I am very happy with your work, Flora…

00:26:35.125 --> 00:26:37.791
You’ve never talked to me about your family… Of your life.

00:26:39.291 --> 00:26:40.125
Well,

00:26:41.375 --> 00:26:44.458
my father died leaving us in poverty

00:26:45.208 --> 00:26:48.333
and my mother took sides with my husband,

00:26:48.625 --> 00:26:50.416
who mistreated me.

00:26:50.416 --> 00:26:52.833
Husbands cannot be accused.

00:26:53.875 --> 00:26:55.000
I tried,

00:26:55.708 --> 00:26:57.250
and I just lost my son.

00:26:58.625 --> 00:27:01.833
Justice has been created by men, not women, Flora.

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:04.041
That\'s why I want to go to Peru.

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:06.041
Your family lives there, right?

00:27:06.625 --> 00:27:09.875
I write to the younger brother of my father,
my uncle Pio.

00:27:10.791 --> 00:27:12.625
He has talked to my grandmother about me.

00:27:13.375 --> 00:27:17.166
She is a very good woman, owner of
the family fortune.

00:27:17.708 --> 00:27:21.333
That’s why I have decided to go and personally ask her
for my inheritance.

00:27:22.875 --> 00:27:26.125
All my hopes are pinned on that woman…

00:27:26.916 --> 00:27:29.291
I want to find a marriage certificate.

00:27:30.625 --> 00:27:32.625
An onion soup!

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:05.291
You?

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.291
I was hungry and I saw your inn.

00:28:09.916 --> 00:28:12.083
Would you do me the honor of accompanying me an
instant?

00:28:12.833 --> 00:28:13.625
Sure,

00:28:17.916 --> 00:28:20.083
Aren\'t you going to eat?

00:28:20.666 --> 00:28:23.333
The bread and wine are enough for me. Thanks.

00:28:27.708 --> 00:28:29.500
I must confess that you intrigue me.

00:28:31.041 --> 00:28:32.125
Me?

00:28:32.791 --> 00:28:33.583
Yes,

00:28:34.333 --> 00:28:40.291
how is it possible that a lady like you, whose
uncle owns a great fortune on the other side of the world,

00:28:40.583 --> 00:28:42.708
works as a waitress in an inn?

00:28:43.291 --> 00:28:44.083
Mom!

00:28:47.291 --> 00:28:51.041
A waitress who is also the mother of a little girl.

00:28:51.958 --> 00:28:56.791
Aline, say hello to the gentleman.
He is the captain of the ship \"El Mexicano\".

00:28:56.791 --> 00:29:00.291
Mom, are you gonna take a long time? I\'m sleepy.

00:29:01.125 --> 00:29:04.791
I\'ll be there in a while. Wait for me in your room.

00:29:10.333 --> 00:29:11.458
How cute.

00:29:13.458 --> 00:29:16.041
Well, madame Tristan, I’ll go straight to the point,

00:29:19.750 --> 00:29:22.041
I don\'t want to offend you,

00:29:23.166 --> 00:29:25.916
but it seems to me that you don\'t
have the money to make that trip to Peru.

00:29:26.833 --> 00:29:27.916
Am I right?

00:29:28.666 --> 00:29:30.500
The truth never offends captain.

00:29:31.916 --> 00:29:33.791
I have a proposition for you…

00:29:35.958 --> 00:29:38.041
Being The Mexican my ship,

00:29:40.083 --> 00:29:41.833
Would you accept to be my guest?

00:29:42.375 --> 00:29:46.458
Me? But you just met me!

00:29:46.791 --> 00:29:48.875
It is my wish to invite you.

00:29:49.666 --> 00:29:51.791
I\'d like to do it.

00:29:53.791 --> 00:29:56.666
Besides, you are my friend\'s niece, Pio.

00:29:58.958 --> 00:30:02.000
I don\'t know what to tell you, captain...

00:30:03.041 --> 00:30:04.958
I need to go to Peru,

00:30:06.083 --> 00:30:09.000
but I don\'t know if I should go as a guest...

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:12.458
Don\'t tell me anything now, think about it.

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:17.833
I won’t ask for anything in return, believe me.

00:30:19.791 --> 00:30:23.791
My ship... sails in a week.

00:32:18.291 --> 00:32:19.791
We thought you weren’t coming, madame.

00:32:19.791 --> 00:32:21.291
Sorry for the delay,

00:32:21.291 --> 00:32:22.958
call me Flora, please.

00:32:23.291 --> 00:32:24.791
Good night to everyone.

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:28.458
Allow me to formally introduce you to The Mexican, Flora.

00:32:28.458 --> 00:32:32.791
Tonight we’re accompanied by don José Berindoaga,
Andalusian merchant resident in Lima,

00:32:33.333 --> 00:32:36.958
Fermín Miotta, who returns to Peru after finishing his
studies in Paris,

00:32:36.958 --> 00:32:40.791
and his relative
Fernando Echeverri, pure Basque strain.

00:32:41.041 --> 00:32:44.333
And here, my second in command, the
Petty Officer David Tournay.

00:32:44.666 --> 00:32:46.416
It’s an honor for me to meet you, Ms.Flora.

00:32:46.583 --> 00:32:49.458
It’s my pleasure to meet you, all gentlemen.

00:32:49.958 --> 00:32:51.333
Please take a seat.

00:32:55.916 --> 00:33:00.750
The captain was telling me that you are half Peruvian.

00:33:00.875 --> 00:33:06.708
My father was Peruvian and my mother is French, but I’ve always felt
from my father\'s country.

00:33:07.375 --> 00:33:12.708
I’ve only been in Lima, even though I’ve lived in Peru for ten years.

00:33:13.291 --> 00:33:21.125
Lima is not a very special place compared
with the cities of my motherland… The south of Spain.

00:33:21.750 --> 00:33:25.291
But it’s charming in some way.

00:33:25.291 --> 00:33:34.958
The thing I do find very special are the limeñas.
Oh, those women!

00:33:37.333 --> 00:33:39.125
They drive me crazy.

00:33:40.916 --> 00:33:45.583
Limeños tend to be idle and follow courtesans customs.

00:33:46.291 --> 00:33:48.750
They haven’t assimilated independence yet.

00:33:49.375 --> 00:33:55.375
and they treat with a certain distance
to whoever’s not from Lima, like me, who was born in Cusco.

00:33:57.375 --> 00:33:59.458
Always exaggerating, Don Fermín.

00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:06.333
Don\'t believe everything he says, Miss Flora,
the gentleman was educated in France.

00:34:06.333 --> 00:34:08.125
He\'s not to blame.

00:34:08.416 --> 00:34:12.000
But the limeñas!... My God!

00:34:12.291 --> 00:34:18.000
I have not seen more charming and mysterious creatures.

00:34:19.375 --> 00:34:20.833
Cheers to them!

00:34:20.833 --> 00:34:23.375
Cheers!

00:34:23.791 --> 00:34:26.125
And may God protect us the rest of the journey.

00:34:26.125 --> 00:34:28.083
Cheers!

00:34:28.583 --> 00:34:31.500
Don José only has eyes for one thing...

00:34:32.291 --> 00:34:36.916
But I think Lima is very attractive, exotic and captivating.

00:34:37.458 --> 00:34:43.875
The limeñas have a fascinating charm
and also the virtue of being extremely liberal…

00:34:44.750 --> 00:34:49.916
… But I would never live in Lima.
It is a chaotic pestilential city… Unlike Paris…

00:34:49.916 --> 00:34:51.958
Don\'t be pedantic, David.

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:56.875
I really like Peru, it is a very peculiar place.

00:34:57.291 --> 00:35:00.708
And madame, why are you traveling to such a far destination?

00:35:00.708 --> 00:35:02.875
I’m going to visit my grandmother\'s house...

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:06.958
And meet my family. They live in Arequipa, where my father was from...

00:35:07.291 --> 00:35:08.708
From Arequipa?

00:35:09.791 --> 00:35:13.750
Then let me tell you, madame, that your father
was not Peruvian.

00:35:14.666 --> 00:35:20.875
Arequipeños are... that, Arequipeños.

00:35:21.583 --> 00:35:26.083
Excuse me, madame… Arequipa is a very beautiful city,

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.583
but is dammed by terrible curse.

00:35:30.833 --> 00:35:32.416
Really?... What curse?

00:35:33.291 --> 00:35:35.708
That it will always be full of Arequipeños.

00:35:38.791 --> 00:35:41.791
Well I must admit that they say the same thing about Cusco.

00:35:42.291 --> 00:35:44.000
These are the typical regional feuds.

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.666
My cousin has an aversion to
anyone who’s not his countrymen.

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:53.041
But let me tell you madam that
Arequipeños are considered virile and proud.

00:35:54.666 --> 00:35:56.041
And what was your surname?

00:35:56.458 --> 00:35:57.291
Tristan.

00:35:58.083 --> 00:36:00.875
Really? Are you related to Mr. Pio Tristan?

00:36:00.875 --> 00:36:05.791
Yes... I’m his niece, he is my father’s younger brother.

00:36:08.375 --> 00:36:11.500
Madame, why didn’t you mention it before!

00:36:12.833 --> 00:36:17.166
Madame Tristan, you kept the winning card for the end
of the game.

00:36:18.291 --> 00:36:21.375
Cheers for that! Cheers!

00:36:47.375 --> 00:36:48.375
Come in.

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:53.041
How can I serve you, Don Pio?

00:36:56.375 --> 00:36:57.458
May I pour you a drink?

00:36:57.458 --> 00:37:03.166
No thanks, I\'m here for a delicate matter. It requires absolute discretion.

00:37:03.791 --> 00:37:05.083
Please take a seat.

00:37:05.083 --> 00:37:07.875
You know you can trust me with anything, Don Pio.

00:37:08.166 --> 00:37:11.166
It’s about a will that you wrote for my mother.

00:37:11.791 --> 00:37:19.000
Doña Mercedes, may she rest in peace,
Your mother was a saint. May God keep her in his glory.

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.833
My mother was very old when she passed away.
She couldn\'t even string ideas together anymore.

00:37:24.791 --> 00:37:29.916
In her last will, written when she had already lost her mind,

00:37:30.083 --> 00:37:36.083
she left my niece Flora, my
brother’s illegitimate daughter, 600,000 francs.

00:37:36.625 --> 00:37:42.291
I advised her against such decision, but she insisted.

00:37:42.291 --> 00:37:44.541
As you know, that’s impossible.

00:37:44.875 --> 00:37:51.291
My grandfather, when he was alive, constituted an entailed estate.
It’s exercised by me since Mariano\'s death.

00:37:52.458 --> 00:37:59.541
The assets of a family cannot be divided so easily.
In less than two generations there would be nothing left.

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:06.333
I know that perfectly well, Don Pio. Although, that is in litigation
since the independence.

00:38:06.333 --> 00:38:09.333
As well as the legal ambiguity on the expiration of entailments,
which you could object without any problem.

00:38:09.375 --> 00:38:13.500
I would not want to object anything that has been arranged
by my mother, for consideration of her memory.

00:38:13.791 --> 00:38:16.958
But the poor lady no longer understood that scattering goods
attempts against the family\'s survival.

00:38:16.958 --> 00:38:19.625
But the poor lady no longer understood that scattering goods
attempts against the family\'s survival.

00:38:20.625 --> 00:38:24.166
My duty is to protect the family´s wealth for the common good.

00:38:25.166 --> 00:38:29.125
Excuse me, but your brother was kind of irresponsible.

00:38:29.125 --> 00:38:32.416
The scoundrel abandoned his concubine and his daughter

00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:38.291
My brother never legally married her. They made a
farce of the wedding in Bilbao, with a drunkard priest.

00:38:38.541 --> 00:38:46.791
I understand that what you want is the annulment of the will,
so as not to make public your mother’s inadvertency?

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:55.833
You know, on the other hand, I could cancel it without having to appeal
to the bond of entailment, but...

00:38:56.750 --> 00:38:58.375
...I don\'t want it to show up.

00:39:00.166 --> 00:39:04.041
I give it to you with out hesitation, Don Pio.

00:39:05.041 --> 00:39:06.208
Nothing prevents me,

00:39:08.250 --> 00:39:12.125
As far as I’m concerned this matter is over.
Worry no more.

00:39:12.666 --> 00:39:15.250
Thank you sir. Good day.

00:39:15.250 --> 00:39:16.958
Good day to you sir.

00:39:21.666 --> 00:39:27.166
Dear Carmela, I am still in
high seas, but I\'ll send you this letter as soon as I can.

00:39:27.916 --> 00:39:35.000
Please keep informing me about my children.
I confess that I am still full of doubt.

00:39:35.333 --> 00:39:40.083
I don\'t know exactly where I will arrive, nor how I will be received.

00:39:40.083 --> 00:39:54.125
But somehow the sea or the loneliness, are exerting a strange
influence over me, a new understanding of the world, of men and things.

00:39:54.291 --> 00:40:02.750
Something is appearing in my
head, something new, something I still don\'t fully understand.

00:40:04.166 --> 00:40:05.000
Who is it?

00:40:05.125 --> 00:40:06.041
I, madame,

00:40:06.208 --> 00:40:07.291
Captain Chabrie.

00:40:07.916 --> 00:40:09.041
Come in, captain.

00:40:11.166 --> 00:40:12.291
Can I help you?

00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:14.166
No,

00:40:14.916 --> 00:40:17.458
I just wanted to know how was my guest.

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:23.750
Apparently the tropical air suits you. You’ve gained color.

00:40:24.416 --> 00:40:27.333
You have spent most of the crossing dizzy.

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:33.250
Must be the thrill of stepping on solid ground after so long.
When do we arrive in Cabo Verde?

00:40:33.250 --> 00:40:34.458
Apparently tomorrow.

00:40:34.458 --> 00:40:35.375
Really!

00:40:36.708 --> 00:40:37.291
Captain.

00:40:37.291 --> 00:40:38.083
What is it?

00:40:38.083 --> 00:40:39.833
Your are requiered by the third officer in the deck.

00:40:40.375 --> 00:40:41.833
Tell him I’ll meet him on the bridge.

00:40:42.125 --> 00:40:42.833
Understood.

00:40:42.833 --> 00:40:49.958
Mr David. Tomorrow we arrive at Cabo Verde. After almost a month
without seeing land... I can\'t believe it!

00:40:50.375 --> 00:40:56.916
Don’t get so exited about the place, my little peruvian. It stinks,
the place is full of black people.

00:40:56.916 --> 00:41:03.500
It\'s a slave trading center, you mean. It is incredible that
they haven’t abolished slavery yet.

00:41:03.916 --> 00:41:08.541
It must be comfortable having a slave. Someone who takes care of you
all the day... for free.

00:41:08.541 --> 00:41:10.750
Enough already, David, shut up.

00:41:10.750 --> 00:41:14.666
Excuse me, Madame Tristan, but the
French government allows slavery in their colonies.

00:41:15.208 --> 00:41:18.041
The slaves are belongings, like any other things.

00:41:18.041 --> 00:41:21.041
Enough!... Go to helm, stay the course.

00:41:21.791 --> 00:41:22.875
At your command captain.

00:41:27.375 --> 00:41:28.333
Excuse me.

00:41:28.333 --> 00:41:29.458
Go on, captain.

00:42:21.083 --> 00:42:24.500
Sorry... I got scared.

00:42:26.166 --> 00:42:28.791
Return to your bunk, Madame Tristan.

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:31.000
It will be safer there.

00:43:15.166 --> 00:43:18.416
Looks like a typhus epidemic is about to hit the city.

00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:21.583
We will only be here for a couple of days.

00:43:22.416 --> 00:43:27.666
If you knew how many epidemics I\'ve seen around the world…

00:43:28.833 --> 00:43:31.208
Everywhere, all the time.

00:43:33.041 --> 00:43:35.333
Your dear humanity is always suffering.

00:43:35.958 --> 00:43:38.500
I know, I know perfectly.

00:43:40.291 --> 00:43:43.375
Have you never felt the urge to do something
for it?

00:43:44.791 --> 00:43:46.833
For all mankind?

00:43:48.250 --> 00:43:49.583
Something like that?

00:43:49.875 --> 00:43:52.375
I don\'t know, something.

00:43:53.083 --> 00:43:55.000
Don\'t you feel pity?

00:43:55.791 --> 00:43:58.791
Yes, sometimes.

00:43:59.166 --> 00:44:03.791
But not all the time, otherwise I would be paralyzed.

00:44:04.625 --> 00:44:10.250
I\'ve got...
a company, and a ship to manage.

00:44:11.375 --> 00:44:13.500
I can\'t afford that luxury.

00:44:13.500 --> 00:44:19.333
It\'s not a luxury, captain. Taking pity on others
it is a natural feeling.

00:44:19.958 --> 00:44:25.291
Moreover, I think it´s a duty we all human beings have.

00:44:27.208 --> 00:44:29.833
You are an idealist.

00:44:30.791 --> 00:44:33.375
But one lovely idealist indeed.

00:45:02.916 --> 00:45:06.916
Sorry Flora. I thought you were in the bathroom...

00:45:08.166 --> 00:45:10.416
I just came to leave you a note.

00:45:14.250 --> 00:45:15.375
Zacharias...

00:45:25.291 --> 00:45:26.375
Stay.

00:46:18.291 --> 00:46:21.791
The trip that my mother did was extraordinary.

00:46:22.416 --> 00:46:25.458
She crossed the desert from Chile to Arequipa

00:46:25.458 --> 00:46:26.708
Not quite...

00:46:27.583 --> 00:46:33.541
She actually traveled on a ship from
Valparaíso to Islay, which is a port in Arequipa,

00:46:34.666 --> 00:46:38.791
and from there she rode a mule, crossing the desert.

00:46:40.166 --> 00:46:47.375
In the Leonidas, the ship that took her to
Arequipa, she met an old French doctor, Dr. Cantellac.

00:46:48.291 --> 00:46:53.541
And two Peruvian brothers who joined them, luckily they did
the same trip as her.

00:46:55.625 --> 00:47:01.750
But she was so determined that she would have crossed by herself that infernal desert
if necessary.

00:47:29.666 --> 00:47:31.125
Stay still, damn it!

00:47:31.375 --> 00:47:32.750
Whoever moves dies!

00:47:32.750 --> 00:47:34.583
Or worse, we skin you alive!

00:47:34.583 --> 00:47:38.000
Down everyone! Down everyone! Down!

00:47:42.416 --> 00:47:45.708
Look, Tuco… A female with three men.

00:47:45.875 --> 00:47:47.291
Calm down, Ciceron.

00:47:47.500 --> 00:47:48.500
Calm down.

00:47:49.291 --> 00:47:52.000
This morsel is too fine for your snout.

00:47:52.375 --> 00:47:54.750
Do not touch me!... I am French.

00:47:54.750 --> 00:47:57.666
Oh shit. French.

00:47:58.125 --> 00:47:59.833
And what the hell do I care.

00:47:59.833 --> 00:48:00.916
Please, I beg you not to try...

00:48:00.916 --> 00:48:01.958
Shut your mouth!

00:48:02.291 --> 00:48:03.541
Or do you want me to blow your brains out?...

00:48:06.416 --> 00:48:09.500
Sir, please don\'t touch madame Tristan.

00:48:10.750 --> 00:48:11.583
Madame?

00:48:13.625 --> 00:48:15.166
A brothel madame maybe.

00:48:16.166 --> 00:48:18.416
A woman does not travel alone with three men.

00:48:18.416 --> 00:48:19.875
You are abominable.

00:48:20.041 --> 00:48:21.875
Ah, they have nothing of value.

00:48:22.291 --> 00:48:24.041
Although I have found is this.

00:48:24.041 --> 00:48:26.791
That’s for me.

00:48:27.583 --> 00:48:28.791
You are disgusting.

00:48:28.791 --> 00:48:30.291
Madam, please be quiet.

00:48:30.375 --> 00:48:31.416
...Disgusting?

00:48:32.541 --> 00:48:33.583
Well then...

00:48:36.416 --> 00:48:37.625
I’ll be disgusting...

00:48:42.541 --> 00:48:43.791
Don’t you dare!

00:48:47.041 --> 00:48:49.750
Don\'t shoot, don\'t shoot, don\'t shoot.

00:48:50.666 --> 00:48:53.041
Come on, let\'s go, Come on!

00:48:53.041 --> 00:48:55.125
- Go away!
- To the horses! Don\'t shoot.

00:48:58.083 --> 00:48:59.125
Go away!

00:49:02.041 --> 00:49:05.750
Your mother was a brave woman,

00:49:06.666 --> 00:49:07.916
an impressive woman.

00:49:09.166 --> 00:49:10.916
I can imagine her.

00:49:15.416 --> 00:49:17.666
After our meeting in Arequipa.

00:49:20.500 --> 00:49:22.458
I never saw her again.

00:49:25.208 --> 00:49:27.875
Even though I tried to forget her, I couldn\'t stop thinking about her.

00:49:27.875 --> 00:49:30.833
Even though I tried to forget her, I couldn\'t stop thinking about her.

00:49:31.833 --> 00:49:39.041
Even though she was cruel to me. I still don\'t understand why.

00:49:39.833 --> 00:49:46.041
Maybe it is explained in the letter... Why don’t you open it already?

00:49:54.458 --> 00:49:55.833
I am afraid.

00:49:58.500 --> 00:50:00.541
Me, the old sea wolf,

00:50:01.791 --> 00:50:04.291
that has weathered so many storms,

00:50:06.416 --> 00:50:09.291
trembles before a paper letter,

00:50:11.500 --> 00:50:17.166
written by the woman... he loved most in his life.

00:50:28.875 --> 00:50:34.875
There it is, Arequipa... full of churches, monasteries and convents.

00:50:35.250 --> 00:50:36.500
Look, madame!

00:50:37.083 --> 00:50:40.708
Over there’s the Monastery of Santa Rosa, of cloistered nuns.

00:50:41.166 --> 00:50:47.500
The nuns live with their slaves there. And that\'s where they
have your cousin Dominga secluded.

00:50:48.291 --> 00:50:52.833
I feel like I\'m in another century. It seems that we have traveled
in time.

00:52:00.416 --> 00:52:02.416
Yes? How can I help you?

00:52:02.541 --> 00:52:04.041
Good morning.

00:52:04.916 --> 00:52:07.916
I\'m looking for Mrs. Mercedes Moscoso.

00:52:10.541 --> 00:52:12.458
I’m Flora,

00:52:13.291 --> 00:52:15.208
her granddaughter,

00:52:16.333 --> 00:52:17.708
Mariano’s daughter.

00:52:19.375 --> 00:52:21.041
I come from France.

00:52:25.125 --> 00:52:26.333
Wait a moment.

00:52:39.833 --> 00:52:42.250
My maid says you’re asking for my grandmother. Flora Tristan?

00:52:42.875 --> 00:52:44.125
Flora Tristan?

00:52:45.291 --> 00:52:47.916
Yes, that\'s me.

00:52:49.416 --> 00:52:51.083
Are you my cousin?

00:52:53.333 --> 00:52:59.208
These are my traveling companions, De La Fuente brothers and
Doctor Cantellac.

00:52:59.541 --> 00:53:02.833
We come from Islay, we’ve crossed the entire desert.

00:53:03.833 --> 00:53:06.833
Come in please, you must be very tired, thirsty.

00:53:06.833 --> 00:53:08.541
Do not bother, please.

00:53:08.541 --> 00:53:11.708
We just wanted to accompany your cousin.
Now we leave her in good hands.

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:13.250
They wait for us in the city center...

00:53:13.875 --> 00:53:15.833
But anyway, thank you very much.

00:53:16.041 --> 00:53:19.875
Well Florita. We leave you safe and sound with
your family.

00:53:20.541 --> 00:53:24.708
Goodbye friends, you don\'t know how much
I appreciate what you have done for me.

00:53:25.333 --> 00:53:27.333
I’ll never forget you.

00:53:27.708 --> 00:53:29.708
Good luck, Flora.

00:53:33.333 --> 00:53:36.708
Would you be so kind to leave
the luggage here in the hallway?

00:54:10.666 --> 00:54:15.541
I’ll call a servant to pick up your luggage and then we\'ll talk.

00:54:15.833 --> 00:54:17.416
Do you think I can see my grandmother?

00:54:17.416 --> 00:54:17.458
Do you think I can see my grandmother?

00:54:21.125 --> 00:54:22.833
I don\'t want to be rude…

00:54:23.458 --> 00:54:28.416
You say you are my cousin,
but how to be sure. I have never seen you in my whole life.

00:54:28.625 --> 00:54:33.833
I know my uncle Mariano had a daughter in France,
but how can I be sure that it’s you.

00:54:33.833 --> 00:54:42.458
I don\'t blame you, I come from across the ocean telling you that
I’m your cousin, I also would doubt it.

00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:47.291
This is my baptismal certificate.

00:54:58.333 --> 00:55:03.166
This is just a piece of paper. But we\'ll suppose it\'s authentic.

00:55:04.250 --> 00:55:06.458
So can I see my grandmother?

00:55:06.833 --> 00:55:08.208
How long was your trip?

00:55:08.625 --> 00:55:09.666
Five months.

00:55:10.458 --> 00:55:11.375
Now I understand.

00:55:13.416 --> 00:55:16.166
Our grandmother died a little less than five months ago.

00:55:17.166 --> 00:55:17.833
What?

00:55:22.041 --> 00:55:24.708
Flora... Flora!

00:55:40.208 --> 00:55:41.541
Excuse me.

00:55:43.708 --> 00:55:45.833
How long have I been asleep?

00:55:45.875 --> 00:55:49.000
Nothing better than sleep to calm the nerves.

00:55:49.708 --> 00:55:51.333
This is my aunt Joaquina...

00:55:52.041 --> 00:55:55.916
She is uncle Pío\'s wife and... lady of this house.

00:55:57.208 --> 00:56:00.916
So you are my brother-in-law’s French daughter.

00:56:01.875 --> 00:56:07.958
Nice to meet you.
Sorry that it has to be under these circumstances,

00:56:08.500 --> 00:56:11.500
the news of my death
grandmother affected me very much.

00:56:12.458 --> 00:56:15.458
I came from France specifically to meet her.

00:56:16.166 --> 00:56:22.958
In her last days, my beloved mother-in-law,
may she rest in peace, talked a lot about his son Mariano.

00:56:23.333 --> 00:56:24.500
My father.

00:56:25.166 --> 00:56:27.000
And did my grandmother speak about me?

00:56:27.083 --> 00:56:31.500
Well, you could hardly understand the poor lady.

00:56:32.208 --> 00:56:37.041
I\'m sorry, but if she said something
about you, I don\'t remember it.

00:56:38.916 --> 00:56:44.000
Well girl, I\'ll make sure that your
stay here is a pleasant memory.

00:56:44.333 --> 00:56:46.125
How long do you plan to stay?

00:56:46.125 --> 00:56:47.625
I don\'t know yet...

00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:50.291
I don\'t want to bother you with my presence.

00:56:50.375 --> 00:56:54.333
Not at all, you are family.

00:56:54.333 --> 00:56:58.916
We are good Christians. How old are you?

00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:01.666
I turned thirty when I left Bordeaux.

00:57:01.833 --> 00:57:04.916
So I’m guessing you\'ve left a husband and children.

00:57:06.291 --> 00:57:07.208
No.

00:57:07.875 --> 00:57:09.458
I\'m not married.

00:57:10.250 --> 00:57:17.958
Oh, my Lord! Poor thing, a woman alone…
At your age… She\'s helpless.

00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:22.083
Don\'t worry, I\'m used to it...

00:57:26.083 --> 00:57:28.750
Where is uncle Pio? I would like to see him.

00:57:28.958 --> 00:57:30.291
He is in Lima now,

00:57:30.708 --> 00:57:32.791
but when he returns
from his trip you will be able to see him.

00:57:33.250 --> 00:57:40.791
Well, now I have to go. It\'s prayer time. You\'re in
your house.

00:57:41.083 --> 00:57:42.125
Thanks.

00:57:47.458 --> 00:57:48.875
Let\'s go for a walk.

00:57:49.666 --> 00:57:51.208
You have to see the house… Get ready.

00:57:53.208 --> 00:57:54.333
Clean yourself up.

00:58:15.250 --> 00:58:18.500
I\'m going to be honest, Flora,
so that you are prepared for what’s yet to come.

00:58:19.833 --> 00:58:23.458
Your father is in this family
the black sheep that every flock has.

00:58:24.458 --> 00:58:27.333
Why?... Because he married a poor woman?

00:58:27.958 --> 00:58:28.958
Married?

00:58:29.875 --> 00:58:33.916
Forgive me, but what this family states is that you are the
illegitimate daughter of uncle Mariano,

00:58:34.708 --> 00:58:37.791
and the illegitimate daughters have no right to
claim any inheritance.

00:58:38.458 --> 00:58:42.416
My father signed my baptism certificate.
You saw it yourself.

00:58:42.708 --> 00:58:45.875
But he should have left something written in his will,
and he didn\'t leave a will, right?

00:58:46.500 --> 00:58:47.833
My father didn’t leave anything.

00:58:49.458 --> 00:58:51.958
Do you know how much time will it take
for uncle Pio to return?

00:58:53.208 --> 00:58:54.208
I don\'t know,

00:58:54.750 --> 00:58:57.250
it could be a month or several days. You never know.

00:58:57.416 --> 00:58:58.333
Allright.

00:58:58.708 --> 00:59:00.416
I will wait for him as long as it is necessary.

00:59:02.958 --> 00:59:07.208
Here, when a relative arrives from abroad, it is customary
to present them to the whole family.

00:59:08.500 --> 00:59:10.125
Tomorrow I\'m going to introduce you to someone...

00:59:34.375 --> 00:59:35.500
Dominga...

00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:41.875
Look, this is Flora, our French cousin.

00:59:43.708 --> 00:59:44.708
Cousin!

00:59:45.250 --> 00:59:47.333
Nice to meet you, dear cousin.

00:59:53.583 --> 00:59:56.375
These poor girls have never seen a foreign person,

00:59:56.375 --> 00:59:59.416
they only know the mother director who is Spanish…

01:00:00.208 --> 01:00:04.708
And that’s not a big deal, since this country was full of Spanish people
a while ago.

01:00:07.250 --> 01:00:08.166
Now, go away.

01:00:09.333 --> 01:00:10.625
Are they servants?

01:00:10.875 --> 01:00:12.000
Slaves.

01:00:13.291 --> 01:00:16.750
What a pity. I thought slavery had been abolished.

01:00:17.625 --> 01:00:18.583
Well… as you can see.

01:00:19.541 --> 01:00:22.291
I have never quite understood the vocation of
a cloistered nun.

01:00:23.125 --> 01:00:24.416
There is not much to be understood.

01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.500
I was born second so they locked me up in this place.

01:00:30.875 --> 01:00:32.458
Without your consent?

01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:33.875
Consent?

01:00:34.416 --> 01:00:36.458
It is a custom dating from Viceroyalty,

01:00:37.125 --> 01:00:39.041
if you are born second, you come to the convent,

01:00:39.458 --> 01:00:40.875
but not everyone enters here.

01:00:42.083 --> 01:00:45.708
Only the best and wealthiest families are given the privilege
of having their daughters in monasteries like this.

01:00:45.875 --> 01:00:48.000
You say that because you have always been free.

01:00:48.666 --> 01:00:49.750
Me? Free?

01:00:51.083 --> 01:00:52.166
Don’t make me laugh.

01:00:52.291 --> 01:00:54.000
Nobody controls you, Carmen.

01:00:54.625 --> 01:00:56.125
You do whatever you want.

01:00:58.916 --> 01:01:00.208
I\'m sick,

01:01:01.458 --> 01:01:02.708
you know it,

01:01:03.083 --> 01:01:04.333
but you don\'t care.

01:01:05.375 --> 01:01:07.958
I think we\'ve came in a bad moment, let\'s go Flora

01:01:07.958 --> 01:01:10.083
I would like to come more often to visit you.

01:01:11.375 --> 01:01:14.166
I\'m sorry for the anguish you feel for being locked up.

01:01:14.875 --> 01:01:17.541
It\'s very sad, isn\'t it? Not to be able to control your destiny.

01:01:18.500 --> 01:01:19.875
I’ll be back soon.

01:01:20.375 --> 01:01:21.666
In such way I hope.

01:01:25.375 --> 01:01:27.333
I live without living.

01:01:59.458 --> 01:02:02.000
You are the spitting image of your father.

01:02:02.500 --> 01:02:03.791
Uncle!

01:02:06.458 --> 01:02:08.083
Welcome Flora.

01:02:08.833 --> 01:02:12.541
Now rest, tomorrow I\'ll show you the property.

01:02:13.250 --> 01:02:15.583
Excuse me, I have things to do.

01:02:18.250 --> 01:02:22.833
He\'s busy. San Roman has taken Arequipa, and here everyone
is with Nieto.

01:02:24.083 --> 01:02:25.500
He’s terrified.

01:02:37.625 --> 01:02:39.666
And now I want to show you our pride…

01:02:39.916 --> 01:02:43.000
- A mill from the 16th century, no less.
- Uncle...

01:02:45.416 --> 01:02:46.916
Well, you wanted to talk to me...

01:02:47.541 --> 01:02:48.416
Speak.

01:02:49.250 --> 01:02:52.750
In France, I live in conditions... Really
deplorable...

01:02:52.958 --> 01:02:55.750
You know it, I have informed you in my letters.

01:02:56.625 --> 01:03:01.041
I left Bordeaux thinking of going to my grandmother
to ask her for my rightful inheritance.

01:03:01.041 --> 01:03:05.166
Don\'t worry Florita. I\'m thinking of a way to help you...

01:03:06.041 --> 01:03:11.416
Although my mother never thought about leaving you anything.
She was very resentful at your father.

01:03:11.416 --> 01:03:13.875
Why? What did my father do to her?

01:03:14.041 --> 01:03:17.041
Well, he joined your mother.

01:03:17.041 --> 01:03:18.708
And that bothered her so much?

01:03:19.875 --> 01:03:22.583
My father before he died, told me that I was not alone.

01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:27.750
That I had a grandmother, that I had an uncle in Arequipa
that would never leave me helpless.

01:03:27.750 --> 01:03:30.708
His last words were \"You still have Pio left.\"

01:03:30.708 --> 01:03:32.208
And it\'s true.

01:03:32.500 --> 01:03:35.875
But the heritage of a family cannot be shared.

01:03:36.083 --> 01:03:38.833
That concept no longer exists in France, and
neither does it here in Peru.

01:03:38.833 --> 01:03:41.291
I don\'t know what exists in France...

01:03:41.541 --> 01:03:49.666
but I do know that the entailment estates are part of the Castilian law
since the fifteenth century. And they continue to rule in Peru.

01:03:50.791 --> 01:03:57.291
It is like slavery, that was abolished two years ago,
but is preserved for two generations.

01:03:57.791 --> 01:04:02.041
You cannot reverse
so sharply what has ruled by centuries.

01:04:02.750 --> 01:04:10.000
... Uncle, if you believe in God, don\'t commit
the tremendous injustice of leaving me immersed in misery.

01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:14.541
God has nothing to do with this affair. And I\'m not going
to leave you in misery, Florita.

01:04:14.541 --> 01:04:17.166
I’m only asking for ten thousand francs a year.

01:04:17.833 --> 01:04:20.916
That\'s impossible. My charity has a limit.

01:04:20.916 --> 01:04:23.583
This is not charity. I\'m asking you what’s mine.

01:04:23.583 --> 01:04:25.291
Nothing is yours.

01:04:25.791 --> 01:04:30.458
That money is nobody’s, it\'s a family treasure. It doesn’t
belong to anyone.

01:04:30.791 --> 01:04:36.125
If we start to distribute the assets, within a few years,
the family will have absolutely nothing left.

01:04:36.583 --> 01:04:37.958
It\'s my right!

01:04:40.041 --> 01:04:44.208
It\'s getting late, I think we\'d better get back,
the wind is starting to blow.

01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.541
You won’t say anything?

01:05:20.250 --> 01:05:23.583
They are lovely, thank you.

01:05:27.416 --> 01:05:30.333
The days without you have been eternal, Flora.

01:05:31.375 --> 01:05:33.333
I missed you.

01:05:34.125 --> 01:05:35.666
Have you thought about me?

01:05:37.375 --> 01:05:39.250
I already have everything arranged.

01:05:40.291 --> 01:05:42.750
As soon as you finish your businesses here in Arequipa,

01:05:43.750 --> 01:05:51.291
we return to France for your daughter, and then we leave to San Francisco,
United States, to start a new life, Flora.

01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:58.500
My inheritance won’t be so easy to claim.

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:03.500
My uncle is asking me for my parents’ marriage certificate.

01:06:05.250 --> 01:06:06.833
Didn\'t you bring it?

01:06:09.208 --> 01:06:10.500
It does not exist.

01:06:11.666 --> 01:06:15.625
My mom made me believe that they got married.

01:06:16.500 --> 01:06:21.458
But then she confessed that the marriage certificate
had not been legalized.

01:06:21.666 --> 01:06:26.208
But you are Mariano Tristan’s daughter.
You have his last name.

01:06:27.291 --> 01:06:33.125
If I present the marriage certificate,
my uncle Pío would be forced to give me my inheritance.

01:06:33.125 --> 01:06:36.625
What does the inheritance matter now, Flora?

01:06:37.833 --> 01:06:39.541
You have me.

01:06:41.458 --> 01:06:43.375
With me you will not lack anything.

01:06:43.500 --> 01:06:46.750
Do you think I\'ve crossed the Atlantic for nothing?

01:06:47.916 --> 01:06:52.541
I need you to get me my parents’ marriage certificate.

01:06:52.541 --> 01:06:54.666
But you just told me it doesn’t exist!

01:06:54.666 --> 01:06:58.291
In the world of law, what doesn’t exist, gets invented.

01:06:59.791 --> 01:07:03.875
Are you asking me to forge
your parents\' marriage certificate?

01:07:05.916 --> 01:07:09.500
You’re willing to do anything for that inheritance, right?

01:07:11.833 --> 01:07:17.750
Do you know what it is like to see your daughter
hungry and have nothing to feed her with?

01:07:18.958 --> 01:07:22.750
Do you know what it is like to be used to receiving crumbs...

01:07:22.833 --> 01:07:26.625
...just crumbs throughout your life?

01:07:27.166 --> 01:07:29.458
With me you will not lack anything, Flora.

01:07:29.458 --> 01:07:32.250
I only want what belongs to me.

01:07:32.750 --> 01:07:36.458
And the non-existence of a piece of paper
is not going to stop me.

01:07:36.666 --> 01:07:40.000
A little ink in exchange for what is fair.

01:07:41.458 --> 01:07:43.166
Flora, this is not you.

01:07:43.166 --> 01:07:46.000
And who am I then?!

01:07:52.291 --> 01:07:54.500
What do you know about that?

01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:12.166
You demand my honor in exchange for being with you!

01:08:19.958 --> 01:08:25.666
Everything has a price my dear Captain.

01:08:32.708 --> 01:08:34.708
You want me to leave

01:08:39.875 --> 01:08:41.875
To disappear from your life forever

01:09:19.166 --> 01:09:21.041
Your mom gave it to me.

01:09:22.125 --> 01:09:24.916
She picked it up at a beach in Valparaiso.

01:09:29.333 --> 01:09:30.791
You loved her very much, didn\'t you?

01:09:31.500 --> 01:09:32.958
Of course I loved her,

01:09:34.250 --> 01:09:35.750
how could I not love her?

01:09:39.500 --> 01:09:41.083
She loved you too.

01:09:45.041 --> 01:09:47.208
Did your mother ever fall in love again?

01:09:48.791 --> 01:09:49.333
No.

01:09:51.416 --> 01:09:54.791
No one can stop my mother. She’s...

01:09:56.291 --> 01:09:57.958
Indomitable.

01:10:00.041 --> 01:10:02.041
Your mother is a free spirit,

01:10:03.208 --> 01:10:06.875
an unbridled force of nature.

01:10:11.083 --> 01:10:15.083
I could have been a father for you.

01:10:18.166 --> 01:10:20.958
When I met her she told me that
she was a widow,

01:10:21.791 --> 01:10:24.166
then here I found out about your father,

01:10:25.291 --> 01:10:28.958
it was a scandal. All of France heard about it.

01:10:32.666 --> 01:10:35.791
I would have loved for you to be my dad.

01:10:36.958 --> 01:10:40.833
My life would have been completely different.

01:10:52.666 --> 01:10:56.041
Did you ever find out why your father shot her?

01:10:58.666 --> 01:10:59.958
Hate.

01:11:03.291 --> 01:11:04.958
Infinite hate.

01:11:20.125 --> 01:11:23.958
- Flora!... Flora!
- Over there!... It´s him!

01:11:26.708 --> 01:11:28.875
- Flora!... Flora!
- Somebody ask for help.

01:11:30.083 --> 01:11:30.916
- Flora.

01:11:35.166 --> 01:11:36.916
My father is a bad man…

01:11:41.166 --> 01:11:43.125
When I was little...

01:11:45.958 --> 01:11:47.666
she abandoned him.

01:11:51.166 --> 01:11:52.875
He mistreated her.

01:12:01.041 --> 01:12:02.083
Once…

01:12:05.875 --> 01:12:07.166
he kidnapped me...

01:12:13.958 --> 01:12:15.541
And abused me.

01:12:18.791 --> 01:12:20.041
What? He did what?

01:12:46.250 --> 01:12:47.541
Bastard.

01:12:57.083 --> 01:12:58.208
It\'s getting late.

01:12:59.083 --> 01:13:00.375
I don\'t want to bother you more.

01:13:01.125 --> 01:13:02.875
I\'ll be back tomorrow for your response.

01:13:03.416 --> 01:13:05.666
Please don\'t go, Aline.

01:13:07.166 --> 01:13:08.666
Stay a while longer.

01:13:09.166 --> 01:13:11.791
I’ll give you an answer right now.

01:13:14.250 --> 01:13:16.916
Don’t go.

01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:36.833
What do you know about that damned women?

01:13:37.041 --> 01:13:37.875
She died?

01:13:38.625 --> 01:13:39.458
No.

01:13:39.875 --> 01:13:40.708
She is alive

01:13:43.916 --> 01:13:44.750
Well

01:13:46.333 --> 01:13:47.166
Maybe the next time

01:13:56.666 --> 01:13:57.500
Excuse me.

01:13:58.375 --> 01:13:59.833
Three minutes, Carmen.

01:13:59.833 --> 01:14:01.500
My little girl was being capricious.

01:14:01.833 --> 01:14:02.833
Educate her.

01:14:05.208 --> 01:14:10.000
By the way, Carmen, have you shown your cousin the fields
you have wonderfully cultivated?

01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:12.000
Yes, uncle. She was delighted.

01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:15.500
They are magnificent. I don\'t think I\'ve ever
seen pumpkins that big.

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.000
That’s because they are cultivated with love.

01:14:18.750 --> 01:14:22.583
I think that, more than affection, it’s Arequipa’s weather.
It is the best of the world.

01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:25.000
They are the hands of Carmen, Pío…

01:14:25.583 --> 01:14:27.333
Inherited from her mother.

01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:29.000
And this land.

01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:32.458
The land of our ancestors.

01:14:34.625 --> 01:14:38.791
I would like to make a toast in honor of our dear Florita.

01:14:40.458 --> 01:14:43.333
As you know, we are her closest relatives.

01:14:44.375 --> 01:14:48.625
Unfortunately, my brother never married Florita\'s mother...

01:14:49.333 --> 01:14:54.250
...who, by the way, I met,
and I can assure that she was an extremely beautiful woman.

01:14:55.333 --> 01:14:58.833
He left her without will and no right to inherit...

01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.500
...But I, as the nobleman that I am,

01:15:03.250 --> 01:15:06.583
cannot let my dear niece fall into misery.

01:15:07.875 --> 01:15:10.333
So I have decided to grant her,

01:15:11.500 --> 01:15:12.666
for life,

01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:19.333
a pension of 2,500 francs... annually.

01:15:21.250 --> 01:15:22.000
Excuse me?

01:15:23.541 --> 01:15:25.333
I can\'t give you more, Flora.

01:15:34.166 --> 01:15:42.833
I am the legitimate daughter of Mariano Tristán,
Peruvian gentleman.

01:15:58.000 --> 01:15:59.416
Excuse me.

01:16:06.041 --> 01:16:10.416
Sebastian, take Miss Flora’s plate. She won\'t be eating with us tonight.

01:16:15.541 --> 01:16:21.708
Carmen, tell your cousin that tomorrow she will come with me to visit
General San Román.

01:16:22.458 --> 01:16:32.000
Since she has come this far, she could at least take the time to help me
and learn about the serious issues that this family is going through.

01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:35.083
Let\'s eat.

01:16:43.708 --> 01:16:46.291
Good evening, I’m looking for Pio Tristan y Moscoso.

01:16:46.291 --> 01:16:48.416
He\'s at the back, you gotta go through that door.

01:16:48.416 --> 01:16:49.333
Thanks.

01:17:12.583 --> 01:17:13.416
Miss!

01:17:13.416 --> 01:17:15.166
Excuse the clumsiness, please.

01:17:15.666 --> 01:17:16.666
Are you OK?

01:17:17.041 --> 01:17:19.250
Yes, yes, don\'t worry.

01:17:20.750 --> 01:17:22.291
Who has dared to make you cry?

01:17:22.500 --> 01:17:26.666
Nobody, nobody, don\'t worry. It’s nothing.

01:17:28.166 --> 01:17:29.583
Excuse me...

01:17:31.333 --> 01:17:36.458
I am colonel Bernardo Escudero, I’m a member of
General Miguel San Roman’s war staff.

01:17:38.416 --> 01:17:43.208
I came to speak with don Pio about some affairs…

01:17:43.875 --> 01:17:47.583
But I\'m not going to move from here until I see you calmed.

01:17:51.208 --> 01:17:52.166
I am...

01:17:52.958 --> 01:17:55.166
I am Flora Tristán,

01:17:56.958 --> 01:17:58.833
Don Pio\'s niece.

01:18:00.750 --> 01:18:07.625
But please, if you have important businesses to attend to with him,
I am no one to retain you.

01:18:08.166 --> 01:18:10.500
No business is as important...

01:18:11.541 --> 01:18:14.041
As the mood of a woman as beautiful as you.

01:18:15.666 --> 01:18:17.375
I don’t know what to tell you.

01:18:18.416 --> 01:18:19.791
You could invite me in.

01:18:31.333 --> 01:18:32.583
Come in.

01:19:02.666 --> 01:19:05.291
With my inheritance now definitively lost.

01:19:06.500 --> 01:19:11.791
My whole being pushed me in a new, totally different direction.

01:19:12.541 --> 01:19:19.500
Other goals, other more ambitious purposes then populated my soul.

01:19:27.583 --> 01:19:29.291
How nice to see you, Don Pio.

01:19:30.416 --> 01:19:33.166
This is my deputy, Colonel Bernardo Escudero.

01:19:33.541 --> 01:19:36.791
And I introduce you to my companion, my niece Flora Tristan.

01:19:37.500 --> 01:19:39.458
She was very interested in meeting you.

01:19:39.625 --> 01:19:40.791
Miss Tristan.

01:19:40.958 --> 01:19:41.750
General.

01:19:41.958 --> 01:19:43.333
I’ve heard a lot about you.

01:19:44.666 --> 01:19:46.208
Thank you for coming, Don Pio.

01:19:46.666 --> 01:19:50.541
This meeting will make things so much easier for us
and for the city of Arequipa.

01:19:50.666 --> 01:19:54.583
You own this city, General San Roman.
You won it in battle.

01:19:55.375 --> 01:20:01.333
It’s mandatory that we understand each other:
Me as the city representative and you as his conqueror.

01:20:01.333 --> 01:20:02.375
Indeed.

01:20:02.833 --> 01:20:03.875
Please come in.

01:20:04.041 --> 01:20:05.333
Don Pio, this way, please.

01:20:08.833 --> 01:20:09.708
General.

01:20:12.291 --> 01:20:13.583
Miss Tristan.

01:20:14.250 --> 01:20:18.416
I don\'t want to be impertinent,
but I must tell you that you are an enigma.

01:20:18.916 --> 01:20:20.750
An enigma? Why?

01:20:21.541 --> 01:20:24.583
I’ve heard from some people that you’re brave.

01:20:24.875 --> 01:20:27.750
And from others, that you\'re a coward.

01:20:29.375 --> 01:20:35.416
You are quite frank, Miss Tristan. But I like it very much.

01:20:35.750 --> 01:20:38.333
Frankness is for me a major virtue.

01:20:39.041 --> 01:20:44.625
Being French, you must consider it a virtue as well.

01:20:47.458 --> 01:20:53.416
The truth is… everyone is built based on what they’ve done,
but also on what others say they’ve done.

01:20:53.500 --> 01:20:56.833
And these two realities aren\'t always the same.

01:20:57.875 --> 01:21:01.041
But unfortunately, we can’t escape from either of them.

01:21:01.416 --> 01:21:05.541
We can\'t get rid of our actions, which will follow us even after our death,

01:21:05.958 --> 01:21:11.083
and we can’t get rid of the biases with which others judge and qualify us.

01:21:12.083 --> 01:21:18.125
I’m a liberal, as I suppose you are too,
in a world of conservative generals.

01:21:18.500 --> 01:21:21.625
The perception of me is biased.

01:21:22.333 --> 01:21:24.583
I hope I didn’t offend you, General.

01:21:24.833 --> 01:21:27.083
No, miss, not at all.

01:21:27.500 --> 01:21:32.333
We should never take things too seriously,
life is healthier with a little humor.

01:21:32.541 --> 01:21:36.708
Men and their obsessions deserve a little teasing from time to time.

01:21:36.708 --> 01:21:39.500
I couldn\'t agree more with you.

01:21:39.500 --> 01:21:44.333
Now excuse me, your uncle is waiting for me
to talk about “serious” issues.

01:21:45.166 --> 01:21:50.541
However, I would love to continue this conversation with
you after the session with Don Pío.

01:21:50.541 --> 01:21:52.166
I will be pleased to do so.

01:21:55.833 --> 01:21:57.333
Excuse me.

01:22:04.083 --> 01:22:05.708
You are admirable, Flora.

01:22:06.333 --> 01:22:08.500
And extremely brave.

01:22:10.958 --> 01:22:13.125
Would you let me visit you?

01:22:14.583 --> 01:22:16.833
I would be honored.

01:22:19.333 --> 01:22:20.458
With your permission.

01:22:31.583 --> 01:22:35.166
Flora, I must confess that I am very intrigued by your name...

01:22:36.833 --> 01:22:38.458
It’s a name like any other.

01:22:38.458 --> 01:22:40.250
No, not at all.

01:22:40.666 --> 01:22:44.291
For example, your cousin... Don Pio\'s daughter.

01:22:45.458 --> 01:22:53.666
Your cousin is called Victoria. That makes me think your uncle sees life
in terms of victories and defeats.

01:22:54.916 --> 01:22:56.625
I guess your father was very different.

01:22:57.041 --> 01:22:57.833
He was.

01:22:58.166 --> 01:23:02.833
I loved my father very much, but he died young,
so I was raised by my mother.

01:23:03.291 --> 01:23:06.541
A combative woman, hardened by life.

01:23:07.250 --> 01:23:09.500
I\'m sure she didn\'t choose my name.

01:23:13.333 --> 01:23:19.333
Beneath your tough and combative appearance,
I see a delicate flower.

01:23:20.458 --> 01:23:22.125
Colonel, please.

01:23:28.833 --> 01:23:35.500
I see the most beautiful and delicate flower,

01:23:37.583 --> 01:23:39.500
but at the same time a wild beast.

01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:42.416
Do I really look like one?

01:23:42.833 --> 01:23:44.000
Absolutely.

01:23:44.916 --> 01:23:48.375
I just met you and I can attest that.

01:23:51.458 --> 01:23:55.583
I know that feminine vigour very well.

01:23:57.416 --> 01:23:58.916
You overwhelm me.

01:23:59.416 --> 01:24:01.875
Do I really overwhelm you?

01:24:04.333 --> 01:24:05.958
Totally.

01:24:51.833 --> 01:24:53.916
It couldn\'t be true.

01:24:56.208 --> 01:24:58.125
I knew it.

01:25:01.041 --> 01:25:05.708
The forgery of her parents’ marriage certificate
was a sham.

01:25:07.583 --> 01:25:09.916
She did it to disappoint me.

01:25:11.333 --> 01:25:17.208
To make me go away from her...
It was the only way for me to leave her.

01:25:19.125 --> 01:25:21.458
She really knew me

01:25:24.666 --> 01:25:28.250
So, do you forgive her?

01:25:28.666 --> 01:25:30.708
I have nothing to forgive her.

01:25:31.500 --> 01:25:38.208
I ask you to please understand her, your forgiveness is
very important to my mother.

01:25:38.875 --> 01:25:41.291
She suffers without your forgiveness.

01:25:43.083 --> 01:25:45.625
Tomorrow I have to go back to Bordeaux...

01:25:46.541 --> 01:25:48.500
My mother is expecting a letter from you.

01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:51.625
A letter?

01:25:52.833 --> 01:25:54.833
She’s expecting a letter from me?

01:25:59.625 --> 01:26:01.583
I asked for my return to Lima.

01:26:01.583 --> 01:26:03.125
So soon?

01:26:05.083 --> 01:26:07.583
I received a letter from Marshall Francisca.

01:26:08.833 --> 01:26:11.333
She asked me to come back as soon as possible.

01:26:12.166 --> 01:26:14.666
You’re very close to her, right?

01:26:16.833 --> 01:26:17.958
I am

01:26:19.333 --> 01:26:24.833
I\'m actually part of her husband’s war command…
Marshall Gamarra.

01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:26.916
But yes...

01:26:28.583 --> 01:26:31.208
Marshall Francisca has a very good opinion of me.

01:26:33.833 --> 01:26:38.833
Something I really admire about Peru, is its women\'s personality.

01:26:40.333 --> 01:26:47.125
They approach men, life, with an admirable freedom.

01:26:47.958 --> 01:26:54.541
The arequipeñas are infinitely superior compared to men.
That friend of yours must be unconquerable.

01:26:57.541 --> 01:26:58.666
She is.

01:27:00.625 --> 01:27:04.375
But you know here in Peru, things are not like in Europe.

01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:08.541
Over there, the war between men and women
is a declared war...

01:27:09.583 --> 01:27:11.375
...An open war.

01:27:12.083 --> 01:27:14.875
Sometimes I think that I would like to stay in Peru.

01:27:15.500 --> 01:27:18.916
I don\'t know, maybe try to reach a position.

01:27:20.250 --> 01:27:24.458
With a little help, I think I could do it.

01:27:26.125 --> 01:27:30.500
What kind of position?

01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:39.416
I don\'t know, something like Marshall Francisca.
And turn this country into a true Republic…

01:27:46.958 --> 01:27:49.500
Now I understand why she needs you.

01:27:51.166 --> 01:27:54.958
It would be impossible for a woman to achieve that all alone.

01:28:00.666 --> 01:28:02.916
Have a good trip, Bernardo.

01:28:07.875 --> 01:28:12.708
I’ll go to Lima soon too,
I have no reasons to stay in Arequipa anymore.

01:28:13.458 --> 01:28:17.291
After that, I\'ll go back to France with the miserable
pension that my uncle gave me, but well...

01:28:17.666 --> 01:28:19.250
It\'s better than nothing.

01:28:27.375 --> 01:28:40.083
Wherever. In Lima or anywhere in the world… If you need me,
I\'ll be there for you.

01:29:14.833 --> 01:29:21.291
When I returned to Lima, I found a city full of life, activity and people.

01:29:21.666 --> 01:29:26.250
The relationship between Europeans and indigenous
and black people is strange.

01:29:26.500 --> 01:29:35.416
A mixture of subordination and marginality, integration and mixed races,
creating an enormous variety of physical types.

01:29:35.583 --> 01:29:43.000
I remembered then what the good Fermin said:
“a hectic overlapping of races and cultures”.

01:29:44.916 --> 01:29:49.875
Lima was, however, convulsed by Gamarra’s defeat.

01:29:50.875 --> 01:29:57.000
All his subordinates had to hide to avoid being caught, or executed.

01:29:57.541 --> 01:30:01.666
Among them, my dearest Colonel Escudero.

01:30:44.458 --> 01:30:45.541
Flora.

01:30:47.708 --> 01:30:51.875
Bernardo! I never would have recognized you.

01:30:53.125 --> 01:30:56.416
If someone else had done it, I’d probably be dead.

01:30:57.416 --> 01:30:58.500
Why?

01:31:00.416 --> 01:31:02.000
Marshall Francisca has been exiled.

01:31:04.708 --> 01:31:06.208
Gamarra is a coward.

01:31:07.791 --> 01:31:09.458
After Orbegoso’s victory,

01:31:10.291 --> 01:31:12.291
He decided to take refuge in Bolivia

01:31:13.666 --> 01:31:15.666
and abandoned his own wife…

01:31:17.083 --> 01:31:18.875
Even knowing that she’s sick.

01:31:22.000 --> 01:31:27.000
She has no one, just me.

01:31:27.500 --> 01:31:29.166
I know you’ll understand.

01:31:36.833 --> 01:31:38.375
I didn’t expect that.

01:31:40.625 --> 01:31:42.250
Forgive me.

01:31:46.166 --> 01:31:47.375
It\'s alright.

01:31:50.875 --> 01:31:54.125
She’s in the port of Callao...

01:31:55.375 --> 01:31:57.333
on an English ship.

01:31:58.333 --> 01:32:00.416
We’ll go to Chile in a couple days.

01:32:01.791 --> 01:32:04.041
We are not allowed to be on Peruvian land anymore.

01:32:06.416 --> 01:32:08.666
I’ve told her a lot about you

01:32:10.791 --> 01:32:12.750
of our meeting in Arequipa.

01:32:13.750 --> 01:32:16.000
They are encounters that bring me a lot of nostalgia.

01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:20.375
Me too…

01:32:23.500 --> 01:32:24.833
Flora…

01:32:24.833 --> 01:32:26.208
Unbelievable…

01:32:27.291 --> 01:32:32.583
Two months ago you were Arequipa’s owner,

01:32:33.375 --> 01:32:36.041
and now you’re a prisoner on that ship.

01:32:37.500 --> 01:32:41.208
This civil war has plunged Peru into deep chaos.

01:32:46.666 --> 01:32:49.541
If only you’d have met the Mariscala before…

01:32:50.500 --> 01:32:53.416
When she replaced...

01:32:54.541 --> 01:32:57.333
When she replaced Gamarra in his government.

01:32:58.333 --> 01:33:00.375
She was a force to be reckoned with.

01:33:03.166 --> 01:33:06.125
Now she is nothing but the shadow of what she used to be.

01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:08.541
I want to meet her.

01:33:45.666 --> 01:33:48.375
Doña Francisca, Madame Tristan.

01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:53.208
I\'ll be next door if you need me.

01:33:53.833 --> 01:33:55.208
Excuse me.

01:34:11.333 --> 01:34:14.083
Do I really look so ridiculous in this dress?

01:34:15.750 --> 01:34:22.958
These are not my clothes. My little sister, who is prudish and weepy,
lent them to me… Her new rags from Europe.

01:34:23.916 --> 01:34:29.500
Imagine, I’ve traveled the entire mountains of Peru,
mounted on a horse.

01:34:30.333 --> 01:34:33.541
I used to walk in pants and boots,

01:34:33.541 --> 01:34:39.000
And now I feel even more of a prisoner locked up in these
ridiculous little satin shoes.

01:34:41.750 --> 01:34:43.833
I can finally see you, Florita.

01:34:44.166 --> 01:34:47.458
I am honored to meet you, Doña Francisca.

01:34:48.750 --> 01:34:52.958
Excuse me, but I pictured you completely different.

01:34:53.541 --> 01:34:58.666
You are graceful, I must confess that I thought you were male like,
and I see you are the opposite.

01:34:58.875 --> 01:35:02.375
You are frank and direct…

01:35:04.458 --> 01:35:06.625
My dear Flora,

01:35:07.333 --> 01:35:10.583
if you only knew everything that is said about me...

01:35:11.375 --> 01:35:14.083
I am the boogeyman of this country.

01:35:14.666 --> 01:35:17.458
The rebel, the indomitable.

01:35:20.416 --> 01:35:28.833
I have used the attractions of my sex to fulfill my needs.

01:35:29.500 --> 01:35:34.125
But men are deceived, they think they’re in charge
when a woman gives in.

01:35:35.875 --> 01:35:46.375
So, this strong soul, this high intelligence
has had to yield to the brutal force of men to master them.

01:35:46.375 --> 01:35:54.708
Listen to me, girl, I can give in my body, but my indomitable
pride will never submit to the brutal force.

01:35:55.541 --> 01:35:59.791
I am a prisoner here precisely for that reason…
Prisoner of the same ones that I have governed for three years.

01:36:00.500 --> 01:36:03.916
She who wants the end, wants the means.

01:36:05.333 --> 01:36:06.916
Your arrogance deceives you.

01:36:08.333 --> 01:36:10.333
You believe you’re better than me.

01:36:11.208 --> 01:36:14.000
Foolish, how ignorant you are.

01:36:14.791 --> 01:36:17.541
You have no idea everything I’ve been through.

01:36:18.916 --> 01:36:23.125
I have prayed, lied, flattered...

01:36:23.583 --> 01:36:28.416
I haven\'t stopped at anything. And, even so, it hasn’t been enough.

01:36:29.208 --> 01:36:30.833
I thought I had won.

01:36:31.541 --> 01:36:39.041
I thought that after eight years I’d finally reap the fruit of so much
sacrifice, of so much intolerable torment.

01:36:39.041 --> 01:36:42.750
Until by this infernal blow, I was expelled...

01:36:43.583 --> 01:36:44.833
lost...

01:36:47.750 --> 01:36:49.041
I lost, Flora.

01:36:51.875 --> 01:36:54.083
I\'m not coming back to Peru ever again.

01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:00.791
But that’s the way power works.

01:37:01.833 --> 01:37:04.375
Here the governments change quickly.

01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:06.958
Don\'t think your fortune is set.

01:37:06.958 --> 01:37:07.000
No, Flora, I will never return to this country.

01:37:07.000 --> 01:37:09.833
No, Flora, I will never return to this country.

01:37:14.875 --> 01:37:16.208
I feel bad...

01:37:16.666 --> 01:37:18.583
Colonel Escudero, come soon!

01:37:45.083 --> 01:37:46.083
Flora...

01:37:47.500 --> 01:37:49.583
Its one of Doña Pancha\'s seizures.

01:37:50.958 --> 01:37:52.708
Only I can take care of her.

01:37:53.375 --> 01:37:55.750
Go Bernard. She needs you.

01:38:04.375 --> 01:38:06.750
I have to stay with her until the end.

01:38:25.666 --> 01:38:33.500
There is no place on Earth where women are freer
and exercise greater power than in Lima.

01:38:33.791 --> 01:38:39.916
They reign here exclusively. It’s from them that any impulse proceeds.

01:38:56.041 --> 01:38:59.208
Every limeña has a good color,

01:38:59.416 --> 01:39:04.875
bright red lips, beautiful naturally wavy hair,

01:39:05.208 --> 01:39:14.791
admirably shaped black eyes, with a sparkle
and an indefinable expression of spirit, pride and languor.

01:39:16.916 --> 01:39:23.875
They govern men because they’re far superior to them
in intelligence and moral strength.

01:39:27.916 --> 01:39:28.958
For this reason...

01:39:29.208 --> 01:39:32.541
the preeminence of the limeñas over men,

01:39:32.833 --> 01:39:36.750
however inferior they may be to European women in relation to morality,

01:39:37.125 --> 01:39:43.583
must be attributed to the superiority of intelligence
that God has granted them.

01:39:45.916 --> 01:39:48.833
These ladies go alone to the theater,

01:39:48.916 --> 01:39:50.541
to bullfights,

01:39:50.708 --> 01:39:57.041
to public assemblies, to dances, to walks, to churches, to visits.

01:39:57.208 --> 01:39:59.916
And they are very well seen everywhere.

01:40:00.500 --> 01:40:06.458
If they find some people with whom they want to talk,
they talk to them, they leave them

01:40:06.666 --> 01:40:11.250
and they’re free and independent in the middle of the crowd,

01:40:11.541 --> 01:40:15.791
even more than the men with their faces uncovered.

01:40:25.416 --> 01:40:33.083
\"On July 15th, 1834, I left Lima heading to Callao...

01:40:35.250 --> 01:40:36.791
I was left alone…

01:40:37.958 --> 01:40:46.708
All alone, between two immensities: the water and the sky.\"

01:41:11.333 --> 01:41:16.708
Every writer must be trustful, and if they’re not brave enough,

01:41:17.041 --> 01:41:19.541
they must resign to the priesthood that they assume,

01:41:20.166 --> 01:41:22.250
of instructing their peers.

01:41:23.375 --> 01:41:27.833
The usefulness of their writings will be determined
by the truths they contain.

01:41:41.916 --> 01:41:44.833
Upon entering the new route I just traced,

01:41:45.791 --> 01:41:48.708
I fulfill my calling and mission.

01:41:50.125 --> 01:41:52.250
I obey my consciousness.

01:41:54.916 --> 01:41:57.583
Hate may come towards me,

01:41:58.916 --> 01:42:01.208
but I’m only giving testimony

01:42:01.500 --> 01:42:05.541
that nothing or no one will stop me from saying all that...

01:42:06.458 --> 01:42:08.083
...I\'ve suffered.

01:42:55.541 --> 01:43:01.750
Miss, what is a woman like you writing for the workers?

01:43:01.750 --> 01:43:06.375
Anyone can write for the workers; even a woman, like me.

01:43:09.208 --> 01:43:14.291
6 hour shift! She\'s crazy...

01:43:16.583 --> 01:43:21.125
With education, everything is possible. Education is essential.

01:43:21.500 --> 01:43:24.125
And you are going to educate us all, right?

01:43:24.125 --> 01:43:28.208
I\'m not going to educate anyone. Read, there you have it.

01:43:28.833 --> 01:43:37.708
We will create committees of 7 members, 5 men and two women, at first.
Until women improve their education and can hold more positions.

01:43:38.000 --> 01:43:41.500
We will also create a central committee to raise funds.

01:43:41.708 --> 01:43:43.958
Don’t contribute to that fund!

01:43:44.791 --> 01:43:50.416
An economic contribution is fundamental; it will serve to pay the defenders
of the workers,

01:43:50.416 --> 01:43:52.958
To build the workers\' palaces..

01:43:52.958 --> 01:43:58.583
Palaces? So now we\'re going to live in palaces,

01:43:58.583 --> 01:44:04.291
we\'re going to drink champagne and we\'re going to eat caviar,
while you educate us?

01:44:06.708 --> 01:44:11.708
If you don\'t like the name of palaces, you can call them farms
or factories.

01:44:12.333 --> 01:44:20.041
The workers\' palaces will be large but simple constructions.
They will serve to shelter orphaned children from large families.

01:44:20.333 --> 01:44:26.708
For the elderly, who live alone. For the needy. Workers who
have accidents at work.

01:44:27.125 --> 01:44:32.250
They will be education centers; of help and retirement.

01:44:32.250 --> 01:44:39.791
So from the palaces we are back to the factories… the dream didn’t last long!

01:44:42.875 --> 01:44:47.291
Where did that crazy woman come from, all she wants is money.

01:44:50.208 --> 01:44:52.208
Cheers!

01:44:55.750 --> 01:44:59.958
I am sure that here you’ll find the book that you are so anxious for,
Flora.

01:44:59.958 --> 01:45:01.333
Thank you Jules.

01:45:03.166 --> 01:45:04.916
I have to show you the portrait I made of you,

01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:11.583
everyone has praised it so much, that they have even put it
on a whole page in Le Charivari,

01:45:11.583 --> 01:45:15.916
where you are regarded as one of the most beautiful women in all of France.

01:45:28.416 --> 01:45:33.000
Speaking of famous writers, look who\'s there.

01:45:34.208 --> 01:45:35.875
Your best friend.

01:45:36.958 --> 01:45:39.500
My dearest George Sand.

01:45:40.833 --> 01:45:42.416
Jules, how nice to see you…

01:45:42.833 --> 01:45:44.416
And how strange, since you don\'t read.

01:45:45.416 --> 01:45:48.458
I read… And I also paint, as you well know.

01:45:49.791 --> 01:45:51.708
I introduce to you Flora Tristán.

01:45:52.416 --> 01:45:53.500
George Sand.

01:45:54.208 --> 01:45:56.708
Of course I know who she is. Nice to meet you.

01:45:57.833 --> 01:46:02.875
What have I done to deserve the joy of being with such beautiful women
and so famous.

01:46:03.375 --> 01:46:05.958
I don\'t think I\'m as famous as madame Tristán,

01:46:05.958 --> 01:46:12.208
who is not only dedicated to write, but has become
the standard-bearer of the workers and the oppressed women.

01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:17.208
With those ways and such an aristocratic demeanor. Who\'d say?

01:46:18.125 --> 01:46:22.458
Under this aristocratic guise, as you say, madame Sand,

01:46:22.583 --> 01:46:24.583
a worker’s soul is hidden.

01:46:25.708 --> 01:46:28.916
I am who I am, in a factory or in a palace.

01:46:29.208 --> 01:46:33.208
I don\'t need to dress as a worker to talk to workers,
like you,

01:46:33.208 --> 01:46:36.708
who dresses as a man, so that the other male writers
accept you.

01:46:39.958 --> 01:46:46.333
Ignorance is bold, little Flora. I dress like this
since I was a little girl to ride freely,

01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:49.708
without suffering the oppression of the hideous corset.

01:46:50.500 --> 01:46:57.166
I started writing long before you, in a hostile environment, in which
literature made by women was considered a minor genre.

01:46:57.791 --> 01:47:03.416
I signed my writings as a man and they accepted me, but then everyone knew
that I was a woman and they kept accepting me.

01:47:04.291 --> 01:47:08.375
I showed all of France that talent doesn’t have sex.
And I paved a path.

01:47:08.458 --> 01:47:11.541
Thanks to me you can sign with your name.

01:47:11.958 --> 01:47:15.250
Yet you still dress like a man, Madame Sand.

01:47:15.833 --> 01:47:21.791
I fight for equal rights between men and women
with well placed skirts.

01:47:21.791 --> 01:47:28.875
That\'s what it\'s all about, isn\'t it? That we women
feel satisfied to be women and not to disguise our sex.

01:47:28.875 --> 01:47:34.125
I assure you that I don’t intend to enter into that controversy.
I don\'t talk about the subject, I embody it.

01:47:34.916 --> 01:47:40.291
My appearance change was my way of overcoming a fight
that you’ve been lucky not to have to face.

01:47:40.291 --> 01:47:42.125
You don\'t know what I\'ve faced.

01:47:42.125 --> 01:47:43.500
Of course I know, Flora.

01:47:43.833 --> 01:47:47.583
An abusive husband, some monetary frustrations, and some
other minor issues.

01:47:48.125 --> 01:47:53.458
I confronted a powerful oppressive system,
something quite larger than your occasional opponents.

01:47:54.375 --> 01:47:57.041
Do you see this sea of books, Madame Sand?

01:47:57.583 --> 01:47:59.333
Your work is a drop.

01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:03.250
I will transform the world.

01:48:07.375 --> 01:48:08.541
I\'m starving.

01:48:09.125 --> 01:48:12.458
What do you think if we continue this talk in the
nearest restaurant?

01:48:13.916 --> 01:48:16.375
Please, let me invite you.

01:48:17.333 --> 01:48:18.500
After you.

01:48:33.166 --> 01:48:34.125
Goodnight.

01:48:38.916 --> 01:48:40.750
I’m glad you came.

01:48:51.708 --> 01:48:54.791
I’ve also been a worker, like you.

01:48:54.791 --> 01:48:58.375
Us, alone… It’s impossible, it has never been possible.

01:48:59.333 --> 01:49:02.125
To change the world we need masses,

01:49:02.750 --> 01:49:06.875
The Bastille was taken by a throng.
We need allies.

01:49:07.541 --> 01:49:09.291
Listen sisters,

01:49:09.833 --> 01:49:12.708
if women are victims of society,

01:49:12.916 --> 01:49:16.500
we need to unite with the other victims of society.

01:49:16.750 --> 01:49:21.875
With the workers, who do not have rights, like women.

01:49:23.041 --> 01:49:28.916
We sisters, who earn our livelihood with the sweat of our foreheads,

01:49:29.208 --> 01:49:34.458
do not deserve less salary than men doing the same job.

01:49:34.791 --> 01:49:43.708
I’ve traveled to many places and have been able to verify that women
have always been considered below men.

01:49:44.458 --> 01:49:47.708
We are the proletarians of the proletariat.

01:49:48.833 --> 01:49:51.250
Bravo... bravo!

01:49:51.708 --> 01:49:56.291
We are meant to do the harder work

01:49:56.583 --> 01:50:01.250
because we are not provided with a higher education
that’s on a par with men’s.

01:50:03.291 --> 01:50:09.916
We are going to unite all the women of
France, Europe, the world,

01:50:10.208 --> 01:50:16.708
and we’re going to create an irresistible force that will profoundly transform
the legislation

01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:26.458
and will finally make freedom a right that can be available to all human beings,
without exception.

01:50:28.208 --> 01:50:41.208
All misfortunes of the world come from oblivion and contempt for the natural and
imprescriptibles rights of being a woman.

01:50:42.291 --> 01:50:48.083
Bravo ... bravo!

01:50:54.708 --> 01:50:58.291
Let\'s join together. Good night

01:50:58.791 --> 01:51:00.208
Madame Tristan.

01:51:00.833 --> 01:51:03.416
Sister, call me sister Flora.

01:51:03.708 --> 01:51:11.166
I want to help you, I believe in everything you say. I have read
\"The workers’ union\" a thousand times and I want to fight with you.

01:51:11.458 --> 01:51:14.708
Tell me what I have to do, teach me.

01:51:15.041 --> 01:51:16.083
What\'s your name?

01:51:16.291 --> 01:51:18.250
Eleanor, Eleanor Blanc.

01:51:19.208 --> 01:51:22.750
Sister Eleonor, we have a lot to do.

01:51:23.291 --> 01:51:25.166
The first thing is your education,

01:51:25.500 --> 01:51:27.416
I\'m going to make you a study plan. If a woman wants to improve herself,
she must work twice as much as men, and study.

01:51:27.750 --> 01:51:31.750
I have one daughter. She’s around your age, her name is Aline,

01:51:32.125 --> 01:51:36.208
she is my daughter by blood,
but you could be my daughter of spirit…

01:51:37.416 --> 01:51:40.791
All of you could… For when I\'m not here anymore.

01:51:41.208 --> 01:51:47.333
Don\'t say that, you\'re never going to go,
you will enlighten us forever.

01:51:51.500 --> 01:51:57.208
Bravo... bravo!

01:52:03.791 --> 01:52:07.208
But who is accusing you, Flora? Whoever
is doing it doesn’t know you.

01:52:07.208 --> 01:52:13.291
Come on Flora, you can\'t deny Saint-Simon\'s influence on you.
Anyone who reads their manifestos can realize it.

01:52:14.125 --> 01:52:15.958
But Adelle doesn\'t read that much.

01:52:16.791 --> 01:52:18.458
Saint-Simon was an aristocrat, he never worked as a laborer.

01:52:18.458 --> 01:52:20.125
Saint-Simon was an aristocrat, he never worked as a laborer.

01:52:20.833 --> 01:52:27.000
Do you think Madame Tristan that only workers
have the right to speak about themselves?

01:52:27.166 --> 01:52:32.958
My friend Philippe is right. Look at yourself,
sitting here in a very elegant salon.

01:52:33.250 --> 01:52:37.708
Do you consider yourself a perfect bourgeois?

01:52:38.000 --> 01:52:42.583
Do you agree with me, Bernard? Today the Seine River is overflowing.

01:52:43.791 --> 01:52:47.458
I don’t believe that the King should spearhead social reforms.

01:52:47.708 --> 01:52:50.041
That\'s like putting a thief as guardian of your house.

01:52:50.250 --> 01:52:54.000
The reforms must start from whom needs and benefits from them.

01:52:54.166 --> 01:52:57.208
So you do not support that the bourgeoisie
collaborate in the process?

01:52:57.208 --> 01:53:03.916
No way, the bourgeoisie would never participate peacefully in all the changes
that the Saint-Simonians claim.

01:53:04.250 --> 01:53:09.916
I admire Fourier. I totally agree
with the criticism he makes of the bourgeois marriage.

01:53:11.208 --> 01:53:12.375
I suffered from it myself!

01:53:12.958 --> 01:53:16.583
Fourier is the first man who wrote about the emancipation of women…

01:53:16.958 --> 01:53:25.250
And I quote him: \"In each society the degree of emancipation
of women is the natural measure of all liberation\"

01:53:27.041 --> 01:53:31.458
You were recently in London, right?

01:53:31.833 --> 01:53:32.750
That’s right.

01:53:33.041 --> 01:53:34.958
Wonderful city.

01:53:35.166 --> 01:53:38.791
And I was lucky enough to meet Robert Owen,
another great socialist.

01:53:39.583 --> 01:53:45.916
Capitalism in England is worse than
here. I’ve seen how children work in factories and they hardly get paid.

01:53:46.333 --> 01:53:48.333
I’m finishing my book about London.

01:53:48.458 --> 01:53:55.041
Another book, you’re tireless, Flora.

01:53:55.875 --> 01:53:57.208
How will you call it?

01:53:57.208 --> 01:53:58.708
“Promenades dans Londres”

01:54:06.583 --> 01:54:12.166
Well, I\'m late, tomorrow’s going to be a hard day at the newspaper.

01:54:12.166 --> 01:54:15.333
Would you accompany me, Bernard, to my house?
I am afraid of returning alone.

01:54:15.583 --> 01:54:16.708
Of course.

01:54:17.541 --> 01:54:23.166
I can also accompany you dear Adelle, nobody
will dare harm you if you’re with me.

01:54:23.166 --> 01:54:25.375
You can accompany our friend Flora.

01:54:25.833 --> 01:54:27.916
I offer you my carriage, Madame Tristan,

01:54:28.250 --> 01:54:29.791
my coachman will drop you off at your house.

01:54:30.208 --> 01:54:31.750
Thank you very much, madame.

01:54:33.083 --> 01:54:36.083
I think you will continue to enjoy my company.

01:54:36.083 --> 01:54:41.166
Madame Chodzko, it has been a delicious evening, as always.

01:54:42.208 --> 01:54:45.208
Second time I agree with my dear friend.

01:54:46.708 --> 01:54:49.375
If you don\'t come to see me at the theater
I’ll be angry with you, huh?

01:54:49.541 --> 01:54:50.791
I’ll be there, my dear.

01:54:52.708 --> 01:54:53.833
Madame Tristan.

01:54:53.833 --> 01:54:55.291
- Bye, dear.
- Bye.

01:54:55.750 --> 01:54:57.208
Until next evening.

01:54:57.958 --> 01:54:58.791
Madame.

01:55:03.500 --> 01:55:13.041
I would love it if you\'d call me by my name… Olympia.

01:55:15.333 --> 01:55:16.708
Olympia.

01:55:19.333 --> 01:55:20.708
Flora...

01:55:25.166 --> 01:55:33.750
...you’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met.

01:56:16.916 --> 01:56:21.750
I had never kissed a woman before...

01:56:24.708 --> 01:56:27.708
And I\'ve never desired a woman so much as I desire you.

01:57:58.166 --> 01:58:02.000
Why don\'t you stay here for a couple of days... with me?

01:58:03.708 --> 01:58:07.166
I can’t. I have to leave in a few days.

01:58:07.958 --> 01:58:11.041
I\'m going to distribute my pamphlet “The Workers\' Union” in Lyons.

01:58:15.041 --> 01:58:16.333
So soon?

01:58:17.750 --> 01:58:20.916
I travel a lot, because of my labor with the workers.

01:58:30.583 --> 01:58:38.541
I don\'t want you to go Flora, you have
awakened an intense ardour inside me…

01:58:40.583 --> 01:58:48.708
Those people are waiting for me. Workers in
Lyon textiles factories work in subhuman conditions.

01:58:49.166 --> 01:58:50.916
I can not abandon them.

01:59:01.375 --> 01:59:03.416
I wonder if you’re human, Flora.

01:59:08.083 --> 01:59:12.125
You are the Joan of Arc of the workers.

01:59:21.416 --> 01:59:23.500
I’ve noticed you’re a little pale since yesterday.

01:59:29.166 --> 01:59:34.916
Why don\'t you stay?
Let me take care of you. Let my doctors see you.

01:59:34.916 --> 01:59:42.458
I can’t, dear friend, I have to go, time is upon me.

01:59:52.333 --> 01:59:53.916
I’ll miss you.

01:59:54.875 --> 01:59:56.333
And I’ll miss you too, dear Olympia.

01:59:57.916 --> 02:00:00.166
You have deeply touched me.

02:00:04.125 --> 02:00:08.583
Oh love, oh my love, oh my Flora!

02:00:13.333 --> 02:00:20.041
Sisters and brothers I encourage you to claim the rights of women.

02:00:20.416 --> 02:00:23.791
Because it is the only way for them to have an education.

02:00:23.875 --> 02:00:27.416
And of the education of women depends that of mankind.

02:00:27.750 --> 02:00:30.541
Above all, of the working man.

02:00:31.000 --> 02:00:37.708
It is for your improvement, and that of men;
it is for your interest, and that of men;

02:00:38.208 --> 02:00:43.333
And finally for the universal well-being of all human beings.

02:00:46.708 --> 02:00:52.166
I invite you to demand the rights for women...

02:00:53.375 --> 02:00:59.708
And to start let\'s recognize your right.

02:01:06.208 --> 02:01:08.250
Flora!

02:01:14.833 --> 02:01:17.791
If you wish, I\'ll leave you alone to write the letter.

02:01:17.791 --> 02:01:19.750
I\'m not writing any letter.

02:01:22.208 --> 02:01:23.500
I am going with you.

02:01:24.166 --> 02:01:26.208
I\'m afraid that won\'t be possible captain.

02:01:26.208 --> 02:01:29.583
Why not?... I need to see Flora,

02:01:30.708 --> 02:01:32.750
tell her that I have nothing to forgive her...

02:01:33.958 --> 02:01:35.416
... That I still love her.

02:01:35.416 --> 02:01:39.750
My mother told me that for no reason was I to take you to her.

02:01:40.541 --> 02:01:42.416
She warned me that you would ask.

02:01:42.458 --> 02:01:45.708
Flora wants me to forgive her,
but she doesn\'t want to see me. Why?

02:02:01.708 --> 02:02:04.875
No...

02:02:45.708 --> 02:02:46.291
Hello.

02:03:04.708 --> 02:03:07.000
There is someone who has come to see you.

02:03:08.208 --> 02:03:09.791
To see me?...

02:03:10.166 --> 02:03:11.791
Who wants to see me…

02:03:23.125 --> 02:03:24.291
Come in, sir.

02:03:38.750 --> 02:03:42.583
Chabrié, my captain.

02:03:46.458 --> 02:03:53.000
Apparently Aline didn\'t tell you about my deplorable state of health.

02:03:55.416 --> 02:03:57.291
Let me take care of you, Flora.

02:03:59.166 --> 02:04:01.208
I will take you to the best doctors.

02:04:02.083 --> 02:04:11.833
In my letter I explained why I asked you to do something as low as
falsifying a certificate of marriage of my parents.

02:04:12.500 --> 02:04:14.958
You were very convincing.

02:04:16.458 --> 02:04:19.166
I never I figured it was a farce.

02:04:21.000 --> 02:04:24.916
You took it upon yourself to destroy the image I had of you.

02:04:26.083 --> 02:04:27.458
I had to do it.

02:04:29.416 --> 02:04:32.708
I knew that you would never accept a proposal of that kind.

02:04:35.375 --> 02:04:41.083
I couldn\'t be your woman,
I needed my freedom.

02:04:42.750 --> 02:04:44.916
I would have made you suffer.

02:04:45.166 --> 02:04:50.916
But now that I know the truth, let me take care of you.

02:05:09.958 --> 02:05:15.916
In Peru I swore to myself that I would never depend on anyone again.

02:05:19.083 --> 02:05:28.000
I\'m dying Chabrié. I need your forgiveness.
To be able to die in peace.

02:05:28.875 --> 02:05:31.500
Then I will never forgive you.

02:05:32.291 --> 02:05:36.708
There is only one person in the world more stubborn than me...

02:05:37.708 --> 02:05:39.166
You, Chabrié.

02:05:41.000 --> 02:05:46.750
My dear Chabrié, I was born to fulfill a mission.

02:05:47.791 --> 02:05:53.500
I have dedicated myself to it, I don\'t know how it will end.

02:05:54.958 --> 02:05:58.000
Maybe you will see it, or Aline.

02:06:02.333 --> 02:06:10.000
In all these years, I did not stop thinking about you not a single day.

02:06:12.041 --> 02:06:15.333
You are the noblest man that I have known.

02:06:17.375 --> 02:06:19.333
Maybe the only one.

02:06:38.875 --> 02:06:40.833
I think you should leave.

02:07:21.250 --> 02:07:22.916
You\'re so beautiful.

02:07:25.875 --> 02:07:37.708
You are serene, you are careful of what you think. You are smart, noble,
strong, affectionate.

02:07:39.041 --> 02:07:42.875
You have a lot to offer to the person with whom you decide to live.

02:07:46.333 --> 02:07:54.166
I only hope that Mr. Gauguin is a good person as you say.

02:07:54.166 --> 02:08:04.375
I hope so too. Although one never can be sure of anything.

02:08:07.000 --> 02:08:13.833
Finally, people have always been a mystery for me.
They somehow stun me.

02:08:19.500 --> 02:08:26.833
It hurts me not to be present to meet my grandchildren.

02:08:30.333 --> 02:08:31.708
To see your future.

02:08:36.125 --> 02:08:43.041
I no longer have one. My life is over.

02:08:45.333 --> 02:08:49.000
And I don\'t know if my ideas are too.

02:08:58.333 --> 02:09:00.791
How strange is the world.

02:09:05.916 --> 02:09:09.000
One comes, lives and acts...

02:09:12.208 --> 02:09:15.250
Until a final gust erases us all.

02:09:32.791 --> 02:09:33.916
Women, you, in whom the soul, the heart, the spirit, the senses,

02:09:33.916 --> 02:09:39.458
V4, 1
Cementerio de La Cartuja,
Burdeos

02:09:42.458 --> 02:09:51.208
are endowed with such impressionability that, without knowing it, you have a
tear for all sorrows,

02:09:51.500 --> 02:09:58.500
a shout for all the moans, a sublime impulse for each generous action,

02:09:59.083 --> 02:10:06.791
abnegation for each suffering, a word of comfort for
all the afflicted.

02:10:07.416 --> 02:10:17.416
Women, you who are devoured by the need to love,
to act, to live.

02:10:18.208 --> 02:10:26.875
Looking everywhere for a target for this fiery and incessant
activity of the soul,

02:10:26.875 --> 02:10:35.708
that vivifies and consumes you, torments you, kills you.

02:10:36.458 --> 02:10:43.250
We have a great mission to acomplish, and on this will depend the
women of the times to come.

02:10:43.833 --> 02:10:48.375
Unite all for claims of justice and you will achieve it.

02:10:48.833 --> 02:10:57.458
Never decline in your protest, let it be that of all voices,
let it take all the forms.

02:10:58.041 --> 02:11:02.125
Always be together and ready to answer for each other...

02:11:03.500 --> 02:11:10.833
...and you will finally see how strong you are...
