Transcript

Elena is part of La Trilogía Escarlata (Genaro, Tierra Escarlata, and Elena), which explores the construction of Colombian historical memory through fiction.

Elena finds a wounded paramilitary fighter and decides to help him. While he recovers, he realizes that he is in the house of a boy whom his group had killed days before. He confesses, and undaunted, in a display of kindness, she helps him escape before the imminent arrival of the one who is looking for him.

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.140
Comandante, there's a body over here.

00:06:00.820 --> 00:06:02.650
Quiet. Quiet.

00:06:09.110 --> 00:06:10.680
Wait, wait.

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:15.620
There's another over here.

00:06:16.940 --> 00:06:19.470
Quiet. Quiet.

00:06:19.530 --> 00:06:20.400
Hang on.

00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:25.460
Let's see how he reacts.

00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.430
Hopefully, it's not infected.

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:37.800
You can bandage this one in the morning.

00:07:38.630 --> 00:07:41.130
I’ll come by at noon to give him the antibiotic.

00:07:43.830 --> 00:07:45.300
If the fever persists,

00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:48.800
we'll have to take him to the hospital.

00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:50.860
And we'll have to make a report.

00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:57.060
He's paramilitary, right?

00:07:57.430 --> 00:08:01.560
He was in the bush, crying and scared.

00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:04.160
Does your husband know?

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.400
No, he left for work on Thursday.

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:13.930
If there's anything, just call.

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:18.560
Thanks, Mary.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:41.460
Eat something, son.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.060
Elena!

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.200
Mrs. Elena! A call.

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:46.500
Coming!

00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:56.730
Number?

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:59.200
839

00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:04.330
048

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:27.100
Don Octavio, we need some spare parts...

00:10:28.930 --> 00:10:30.900
Go back in the room, son.

00:10:39.800 --> 00:10:41.500
Ma'am, what time is it?

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.730
About 10 a.m.

00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:48.900
Thank you very much, ma'am.

00:10:49.530 --> 00:10:52.030
My name is Elena.

00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:54.330
Don't worry.

00:10:54.330 --> 00:10:55.060
Elena!

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:07.130
How much? - 200 pesos

00:11:22.830 --> 00:11:23.560
Hello?

00:11:23.900 --> 00:11:25.730
-Elena? Mary.

00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:29.160
The boy woke up. He's better.

00:11:29.300 --> 00:11:34.000
Some of the guerillas are looking for the boy.

00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:36.860
What do you mean?

00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:40.430
If they find him there, they'll torch your house.

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:47.160
Telephone calls

00:12:11.260 --> 00:12:14.230
Take a bath and change into these clothes.

00:12:14.430 --> 00:12:16.100
Don't get the bandages wet.

00:12:18.530 --> 00:12:19.900
What's your name?

00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:20.960
Stiven.

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.630
I'm going to the store for a few things.

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:26.400
Be careful. Don't go anywhere.

00:13:45.030 --> 00:13:46.660
Is that kid in the photo yours?

00:13:49.030 --> 00:13:51.060
Yes, my son Esteban.

00:14:03.130 --> 00:14:05.000
We killed him in Tierra Alta.

00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:54.400
Where did you leave him?

00:15:24.430 --> 00:15:25.700
Call your mother.

00:15:39.060 --> 00:15:42.360
Genaro, the kid will meet you out back.

00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:51.930
Don't worry, son. You're going home now.
