An exploration of death, construed by the living. Its protagonists are people who face death every day and that have found another way to understand it. Biel, the watchman; José, the sales & commercial agent; David and Sergio, the morticians; Jaume and Mohammed, the gardeners; José Luis, the crematorium operator; and Manuela, the cleaner, all work at the Palma cemetery. By exploring their interactions, sometimes dramatic, sometimes comical, we not only discover the unknown world of death, but also the personal stories of its inhabitants.
“A fierce look into the banality of death.” — M.J. Doxa
“A warm and fear-taming portrait of the human condition.” — Bianca-Olivia Nita, Modern Times Review
“A must see. Not recommendable for those with heart problems.” — Jennifer Hammersmark, Medium

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:31.280
Hello?
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:35.880
Is anyone there?
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:41.280
City of the dead
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.040
I'm hungry.
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:15.000
- What time is it?
- 9:15
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.440
Will it come out complete?
00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:40.520
I hope so.
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:47.000
Come on, it will.
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.520
Careful!
00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:53.240
- Have you got it?
- Yes
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.280
Hold on.
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:56.840
I’ve got to balance the weight.
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.280
Come on, lower it.
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.200
Four hours later...
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.240
and we’re still half-way up the ramp.
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.360
It's ridiculius, man.
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.480
It’s come out half a mummy.
00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:02.160
Give me a hand, Juanito.
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.800
We put it in, right?
00:04:03.880 --> 00:04:05.800
Yeah.
00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:15.520
OK.
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.200
So, do we carry on with the burials?
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.640
Burials before snacking?
00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:33.600
So we’ve done what we just did.
00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:37.040
Let’s call that normal.
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.080
They say: “You’ll be left without a job.
00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:41.480
In 20 years we’ll be immortal...
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.440
acoording to Silicon Valley.
00:04:45.760 --> 00:04:49.200
Humans will decide if they want to die or not.
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.600
If that were true …
00:04:51.760 --> 00:04:54.240
And in great shape, because whatever your age,
00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:57.320
you could still have the body
of a 20-year-old.
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.400
So, you could end up like you were at 20.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.920
Wow, that would be cool!
00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:08.840
- What?
- Not to die!
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.920
What, spend all your life working?
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.120
In some ways, yes.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.320
But there’d be machines to do it all for us.
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.360
I think the time would come when you’d get tired.
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.240
It depends.
00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:28.200
Think about it...
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.720
Knowing you're not going to die
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.560
has to be pretty overwhelming too.
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.240
You’d also have to know if you age or not.
00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:41.200
No. You keep your...
00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:42.240
current physique.
00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:43.560
Yeah.
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.280
Well, in a 20-year range.
00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:47.360
Yes, that what they said.
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.960
So you’d stick with 42.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.480
I’d stick with 40.
00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.800
I’d be f**ked, stuck as 60, right?
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.720
We’d take care of you, Dani.
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.520
First I’ll do this corner.
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.880
Yes, first the lower part and then the top.
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.960
Watch out with the watering.
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.560
Don’t worry about the watering.
00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:19.640
Shall we start?
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.200
Yeah.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.520
The sun’s blazing today.
00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:32.160
Don’t you have a cap or something?
00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:35.400
I hardly ever wear it.
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:37.200
So you want a dark tan?
00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:39.120
No. I’ll put on some cream.
00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:41.480
after our break.
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.120
After the break?
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.800
Yes. Don’t you use sun cream?
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.640
Huh?
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:50.560
What?
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.760
Don’t you use sun cream?
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:55.440
Who me? Never.
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.240
So how’s it going?
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:02.280
What?
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.600
How do you manage during Ramadan?
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.720
I eat for about an hour.
00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:08.800
Non-stop.
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.040
Man, it’s all day without eating...
00:07:11.080 --> 00:07:13.000
Almost an hour.
00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:14.720
And can you eat everything?
00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:15.880
Yeah, everything.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.600
You can also follow it on the internet.
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:18.960
There’s no problem now.
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:21.240
Now you get online and get everything.
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.240
It answers any question you have.
00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:29.920
Interesting.
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.760
How do you pray?
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.040
Also with prayers.
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.600
How? Do you do it like that?
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:36.600
Christians...
00:07:37.320 --> 00:07:39.760
We have a few prayers:
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.520
The Our Father, the Hail Mary...
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.320
No. I've seen people do this.
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.160
We make the sign of the cross.
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.080
At the start or at the end.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.000
Okay...
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.560
To start and to finish?
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:53.320
Yeah.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.200
But then there are a few prayers...
00:07:55.640 --> 00:07:57.160
What time do you do them?
00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:59.080
No, there’s no schedule.
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.840
You usually go to Mass on Sunday.
00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:07.040
But a lot of Christians don’t go to Mass.
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.320
Well, some people go every day.
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:13.600
This isn’t so... we don’t...
00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:16.000
It’s not mandatory?
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:17.920
No, not at all!
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.280
It’s not mandatory in Jerusalem either?
00:08:21.880 --> 00:08:23.640
Going to Jerusalem? No.
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.440
Going once in your life?
00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:27.080
No, no, no.
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:39.280
We can dress him in a suit,
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.240
or a shroud that’s like a white tunic,
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:45.400
but if you prefer, go with the suit.
00:08:45.520 --> 00:08:48.000
If you have to burn it I’d put him in a shroud.
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.800
It can be his own clothes or ones that we have here
00:08:52.520 --> 00:08:55.680
so you don’t have to go into his closet,
00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:58.440
which can be painful.
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.720
I think that with Toni's clothes...
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.480
I think we could dress him in Toni’s clothes.
00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:08.800
Well, we’ll bring his clothes and you’ll dress him.
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.880
Yes. If you want to use the clothes that are here.
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.080
It can be a dark suit,
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.440
it can be a lighter linen suit
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.320
It depends on the family’s...
00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:24.920
personal style and taste.
00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:30.320
I imagine he’s cremated in his clothes.
00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:32.640
He’s not undressed.
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:34.400
Right, Jose?
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.320
Forgive me for being so familiar.
00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:38.320
No problem.
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.160
I wanted to say that when he’s cremated, he’s dressed.
00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:43.960
The corpse isn’t naked.
00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:45.160
Yes.
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.200
He’s naked?
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.760
No, no, sorry.
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.840
When we pick him up at the hospital,
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.880
he’ll be in a shroud.
00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:55.320
We’ll move him to the funeral home
00:09:55.400 --> 00:09:57.320
and prepare the corpse to ensure
00:09:57.400 --> 00:09:59.360
he looks his best
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.760
and then put him in the coffin.
00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:09.920
And now if I may ask, do we shave your husband?
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.760
Did he usually have a moustache, a beard?
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.560
No. A bit of a beard.
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.680
I’d prefer not.
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.560
Should he be shaved?
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.520
Yes. I’ll shave him if you want.
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:08.680
What did you do last night?
00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:10.480
Did you go out along the promenade?
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.800
Yes, I went to Hogans to eat...
00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:16.400
and then to the Shamrock.
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.640
To the Shamrock?
00:11:21.400 --> 00:11:22.640
But...
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.600
How was it? Was there a live band?
00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:28.440
Yes. But we didn't like them so much...
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.000
I was about to go there,
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.600
but I ended up staying in Santa Catalina,
00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:37.440
having a drink till almost 3 in the morning.
00:11:41.560 --> 00:11:42.480
When you 're ready...
00:11:42.520 --> 00:11:43.480
On the count of three...
00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:44.000
One, two...
00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:45.360
No, wait, I’ll say it
00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:47.680
One, three.
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.840
Three.
00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:16.120
Hey, maestro.
00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:17.400
Done?
00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:21.520
He’s looking beautiful now.
00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:04.480
You're not alone up there now, dad.
00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:10.960
Your grandson’s with you.
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.520
You never lost your smile.
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:42.720
If he saw us now,
00:15:42.920 --> 00:15:45.600
he wouldn’t like all these roses and flowers.
00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:46.920
Right.
00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:49.440
He didn’t like that.
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.000
Not at all.
00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:53.000
He just said: pray for me.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.520
Say an Our Father for me, daughters, and that’s it.
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.000
And you know there’s no need
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.880
for us to come here to see you,
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.600
because not a day goes by when we don’t think of you.
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:50.600
This happens...
00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:53.480
every other day.
00:16:53.560 --> 00:16:56.120
I come twice a week
00:16:56.680 --> 00:16:58.360
and either there are no flowers or
00:16:58.520 --> 00:17:00.280
or the vase is gone
00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:02.760
or someone’s peed in the flowerpots
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.240
Okay.
00:17:04.360 --> 00:17:05.680
Hello, good afternoon.
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.400
Hi!
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.600
Sorry. This is a cemetery, it’s holy ground.
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.200
These people are visiting a niche here now.
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.600
Okay, no problem.
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.920
Do me a favour, pick everything up,
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:16.760
Sure, of course.
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.120
Take the bottles please.
00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.640
It’s very hot and...
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.200
Yes, but...
00:17:25.360 --> 00:17:26.880
Allright...
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.520
Yes, but you have to understand that
00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:31.000
they’re here to visit their departed ones,
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.440
this is holy ground and not for this.
00:17:36.040 --> 00:17:37.160
No problem.
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.440
Okay, agreed.
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.560
We're picking up and going.
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.800
We’re sorry these people have had to wait.
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.440
It’s just that their niche is here.
00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:49.040
If we had known, we’d have left.
00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:50.600
Yes, okay.
00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:53.880
Tie your shoes, José.
00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:05.800
Hello, good afternoon, David. Sorry to bother you again.
00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:12.200
Did you see the number of the niche
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.440
so we can note it down
00:18:16.040 --> 00:18:18.880
on the incident report?
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.080
See you in a bit.
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.400
Niches on the right…
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.200
- Gabi
- What's up?
00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:51.120
I need a white shroud and a judicial shroud.
00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:52.680
Okay.
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.720
To put in the van.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.600
A judicial kit?
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.760
No, a shroud,
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.640
the judicial one and the white one, as normal,
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.040
one of each.
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:17.120
I don’t need gloves.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:18.920
No? Okay, agreed.
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:23.560
Here you go.
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.280
To put in the van.
00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:26.920
Right.
00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:32.320
Are you going to party tonight at Kaelum?
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.640
Not tonigh...
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.600
I'll just stay quietly at home.
00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:42.440
I'll get there, make supper, watch some TV
00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:45.960
and tomorrow I’m planning to go to the beach.
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.320
Are you going to the beach in a swimsuit?
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.640
Yeah, of course.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.560
Oh my,, If I were you I'd put on some neoprene.
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.360
But do you jump off the rocks?
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.680
Of course. And I have fun looking for shells...
00:19:57.800 --> 00:19:59.560
Just think that if you kill yourself on the rocks
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:01.400
you’ll no longer be considered from Palma.
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.240
They’ll say you’re from Llucmajor.
00:20:03.800 --> 00:20:05.600
Try to die in the Arenal de Palma.
00:20:05.800 --> 00:20:09.160
But what’s very clear to me is that I'm working here
00:20:09.320 --> 00:20:11.680
and in the end I’ll finish up here,
00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:13.640
both you and I and everyone else.
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.480
In the end, we all end up in the same place.
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:18.240
So, we’re going to see you naked, right?
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.880
Ooh, that’s a tough one!
00:20:20.040 --> 00:20:21.360
Well, what can we do?
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:22.280
That’s really tough.
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:23.600
Well, that’s life!
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:25.880
I just can’t imagine that.
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.280
Do you know anyone who was born clothed?
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.640
No, right?
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.960
We’re all born equal, aren’t we?
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:37.440
Well, some things are nicer to see than others.
00:20:37.520 --> 00:20:38.880
Forget it.
00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:06.400
David.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.160
Listen, do you want my help?
00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:13.240
We can do armpits and thighs
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.240
The problem is that we don't have time,
00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:17.680
we have to close the box.
00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:20.840
If Calzada and Sion were closing the box...
00:21:35.800 --> 00:21:37.920
It’s completely empty, David.
00:21:38.040 --> 00:21:40.880
It’s empty?
00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:51.440
Look, there’s the carotid,
00:21:51.560 --> 00:21:53.440
there you have...
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.560
the subclavian and the carotid artery.
00:22:01.800 --> 00:22:03.960
The subclavian and
00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:06.000
you’re f**ked, you don't have it.
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.920
What if we fill it up with formalin powder?
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.160
And we only do the head...
00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:20.200
Formalin powders in the body. I have nothing to work with.
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.280
I don't know; see what you have.
00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:29.160
What we don’t have is clamps.
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.440
You don't have any in your case or something?
00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:32.960
What’s happened to this man?
00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:33.680
What’s happened to him?
00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:34.840
What’s happened to him?
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.680
He feels empty.
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.160
How those women play.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.360
Look what they’ve sent me, Sergio.
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.760
"In 20 years we’ll be immortal."
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.240
In 20 years, at 50, in the prime of life.
00:22:57.760 --> 00:23:00.200
Silicón Valay reveals our future.
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.200
Who reveals it?
00:23:04.520 --> 00:23:06.720
Who reveals it?
00:23:07.040 --> 00:23:09.480
Silicón Valai reveals...
00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:15.600
Who's he?
00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:18.200
And why are you laughing?
00:23:18.800 --> 00:23:19.520
Who's he?
00:23:19.560 --> 00:23:21.400
Silicon Valai
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.320
But who is he?
00:23:23.360 --> 00:23:25.360
What do I know? But I just read the news!
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.080
I have no idea who he is!
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.720
Okay, what does he say? What does Valai say?
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.760
What does Valai say.
00:23:35.520 --> 00:23:38.360
What has Silicon revealed?
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.400
Humans will decide whether or not they they want to die,
00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:44.200
and they’ll be in great physical shape because
00:23:44.560 --> 00:23:47.600
they can be like 20-year-olds
for as long as they want.
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.560
Their age will be biologically controlled.
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.160
It’ll be like magic.
00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:56.640
What’s his dealer’s phone number?
00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:01.240
I want some of that.
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.040
But what’s this based on?
00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:04.680
Is that all he says?
00:24:04.800 --> 00:24:07.040
That’s all they’ve sent me.
00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:08.840
Well so we must be recycled
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.200
Imagine, in 20 years no one will die.
00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:14.480
We can decide whether or not to die.
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.480
What fool would want to die?
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.960
One moment,
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:30.880
I’ll check now.
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.440
I guess we’ll find it right away.
00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:40.560
86, 82, 28...
00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:57.400
Look, here it is, number 63.
00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:06.120
Yes...
00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:16.080
Now we know where he is.
00:25:26.800 --> 00:25:31.080
Well, at least you have fulfilled your last wish.
00:25:31.800 --> 00:25:33.360
Yes.
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.800
Poor man.
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.480
It’s not that my grandfather was bad
00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:42.360
he was just very odd.
00:25:42.560 --> 00:25:45.600
Very, very odd.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.640
Well, each man is a world unto himself.
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.480
Yes.
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:54.960
And "L.R.S.", what does it mean?
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:58.680
Well, I don't know exactly
00:25:58.800 --> 00:26:00.800
but they could refer to initials,
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.120
first name, last name and second surname.
00:26:04.280 --> 00:26:06.800
I guess, I'm not sure.
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:09.440
Doesn’t it sound like some...
00:26:09.560 --> 00:26:12.360
brother, cousin...uncle?
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.440
I have no idea.
00:26:14.520 --> 00:26:17.160
On the next visit, God willing...
00:26:17.280 --> 00:26:20.680
There won’t be any next visit.
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.600
But madam, hope is the last thing to lose.
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.600
Health, for many years to come and...
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.840
No. The one thing I don't have is health.
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.920
After 12 years of cancer operations,
00:26:38.280 --> 00:26:41.080
doing that over and again.
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:44.240
It’s a bad business.
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.440
It’s over.
00:26:46.600 --> 00:26:50.200
Well, at least there’s the joy of having come here.
00:26:50.360 --> 00:26:53.160
Yes, that’s a lot.
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.240
All of this for my father...
00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:06.600
I owed it to him.
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.000
This one’s full.
00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:17.240
Here’s one box and there’s another one.
00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:24.480
One, two, and a little one.
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.400
There’s something.
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:30.720
On top of that plaque.
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.400
Here, like that and straight.
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.320
Yes, and give it a hard push...
00:27:52.520 --> 00:27:54.520
Isn’t that Chayanne?
00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:07.880
Whose song is this?
00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:10.320
Who is singing this, Miguel Ángel?
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.400
Excuse us, please
00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:21.440
Are we ready?
00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:23.080
Yeah. Here we go.
00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:25.200
Lift it up and push!
00:28:27.520 --> 00:28:29.200
A little bit more.
00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:31.160
There!
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.240
This niche is full,
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.000
because it’ll take 5 years to reduce
00:28:48.120 --> 00:28:50.440
what we’ve buried today.
00:29:29.560 --> 00:29:32.520
The day of the burial, if you wish,
00:29:32.840 --> 00:29:37.440
here in Palma we can provide you live music.
00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:41.440
You can have 1, 2 or 3 musicians,
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.440
just at the moment of burial,
00:29:45.560 --> 00:29:49.320
so you can have a farewell at the family vault.
00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:52.560
What do you think?
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.240
I’ve never heard of that. How does it work?
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.600
There can be 1 or 2 musicians.
00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:04.280
In both cases they could play 4 pieces.
00:30:04.560 --> 00:30:06.480
But when do they play?
00:30:06.560 --> 00:30:08.240
When the coffin’s being put in the...
00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:11.440
Just after the burial
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:14.560
so you have time to say goodbye there.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.920
When the cemetery workers leave,
00:30:17.120 --> 00:30:19.560
you can say goodbye.
00:30:19.800 --> 00:30:21.440
And what music do they play?
00:30:21.520 --> 00:30:23.400
This is the repertoire.
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.000
You can choose 4 pieces.
00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:28.840
and if you want a special song,
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.440
you tell us and we tell the musicians.
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.080
And is the price the same for 1 player as for 3 or 4?
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.160
No, 1 player would be €197
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.520
And two player, here you have the price list...
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.800
It would be €394.94
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:51.360
Two musicians.
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.320
What do you think?
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:54.720
It’s really very moving.
00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:56.000
He’d never have gone for this.
00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:58.440
And do you have a sample of the music they play?
00:30:58.600 --> 00:31:01.040
What you are listening to is the Ave Maria.
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:13.960
What do you think?
00:31:14.120 --> 00:31:16.560
It's just a few moments,
00:31:16.840 --> 00:31:19.040
when they finish...
00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:21.640
It could be fine...
00:31:21.840 --> 00:31:24.280
A little moment of reflection.
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:26.640
Sorry for all these choices
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.160
you’re having to make right now...
00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:30.360
We had certainly not considered it.
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.320
I didn’t even know that was a possibility.
00:31:35.600 --> 00:31:37.480
Should we think about it?
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:39.720
Don't worry, of course.
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:44.040
I’ll leave you the repertoire to look at.
00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:45.800
and we’ll arrange it by phone.
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:47.200
It could be nice.
00:31:47.560 --> 00:31:48.840
I think so....
00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:52.200
I don't know. I think dad would like it.
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:54.800
Sure, of course he would!
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.160
Do you know that Arabic saying?
00:33:00.280 --> 00:33:01.960
Tell me.
00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:06.600
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
00:33:07.520 --> 00:33:09.400
An apple a day.
00:33:09.560 --> 00:33:11.240
You’ll get past 70 and
00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:13.680
be collecting your pension for a long time.
00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:15.840
I tell you, the soul...
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:18.560
leaves when it wants to.
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:21.080
If the body is alive...
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.400
For example, when does the soul enter the body?
00:33:24.520 --> 00:33:27.240
When all the body’s organs are working.
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:30.080
And all what you’re telling me,
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.120
how do you know about it?
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:36.040
From the mosque, from talking with the imam?
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.720
No, it’s now on YouTube,
00:33:38.800 --> 00:33:42.640
on the Internet, everything’s there.
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.120
Anything you ask, it’s there.
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.000
Listen, do you ever imagine the end of the world?
00:33:58.040 --> 00:34:00.240
Just asking.
00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:01.320
Yeah, of course.
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.680
Christians also talk about the end of the world.
00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:07.200
The final judgment.
00:34:08.200 --> 00:34:10.200
But I think it’s a metaphor.
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:12.040
Do you know about Armageddon?
00:34:12.200 --> 00:34:13.160
The film?
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.720
Yes. It’s religious, that movie.
00:34:16.160 --> 00:34:19.000
Well... it has a component taht's...
00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:22.680
Is Jesus Christ going to come down or not?
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.000
Armageddon? It’s the meteorite....
00:34:26.080 --> 00:34:30.480
that’s crashing into the Earth
00:34:30.680 --> 00:34:33.120
It seems to me that it will happen
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:36.840
in America or Mexico, and soon.
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.920
Why?
00:34:39.080 --> 00:34:41.760
That’s where that...
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:43.240
star or whatever will strike?
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:44.560
Meteorite.
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.600
Meteorite?. That’s also coming.
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.640
But do you think that...
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.960
that Jesus does these things?
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:03.960
Is this caused by God, by Allah?
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.440
Why are there earthquakes?
00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:11.320
A lot of people die.
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:14.080
Why are there floods?
00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:18.080
Because those are the conditions we live under.
00:35:20.680 --> 00:35:22.560
I don’t believe they’re caused by...
00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:25.920
Do you think they’re caused by Allah?
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.240
What? The end of the world?
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.680
No, earthquakes...
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.680
Oh, yeah.
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.960
And for what reason?
00:35:33.040 --> 00:35:34.720
This is a sign.
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.040
In the time of our Prophet, the time of Jesus,
00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:39.280
there were no earthquakes, there was nothing.
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.360
Of course there were.
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.120
Fewer, not like now.
00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:43.640
No, the same.
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:45.480
Today we know that it’s the
00:35:45.640 --> 00:35:47.320
movement of the tectonic plates
00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:52.160
moving which cause all of this.
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.840
- But there weren’t as many.
- Watch it on YouTube
00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:57.680
There weren’t so many.
00:35:57.720 --> 00:36:00.600
Yes, the thing is we don't have data, but there were.
00:36:00.680 --> 00:36:01.640
There were fewer.
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.960
I don't think so. I don’t think God intervenes
00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:10.240
in the physical conditions of the world,
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.680
nor in us.
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:17.040
Otherwise we’d have no free will.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.760
Know what I mean?
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:20.840
You couldn’t do anything.
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.320
If it’s all controlled by someone out there.
00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:25.800
We wouldn’t be free.
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.680
Merciful one, after this exhumation
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.240
show us the blessed fruit of your womb.
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:57.320
Most clement and pious Virgin Mary,
00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.800
pray for us, Holy Mother of God,
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:03.040
to make us worthy of achieving the promises
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:07.200
of our Lord Jesus Christ your son. Amen.
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.760
Good morning.
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:10.400
Good morning.
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:12.680
My name is José Rojano,
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:14.360
of the Municipal Funeral Home Company.
00:37:14.560 --> 00:37:16.840
I will take note of what you want done,
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.880
and give you the timetable for doing that.
00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:22.880
Pleased to meet you.
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.600
If I may ask,
00:37:26.720 --> 00:37:29.160
what is the end purpose of what we have to do?
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.920
I mean, is it a burial or a cremation?
00:37:33.080 --> 00:37:35.440
It’s a burial; we’ve talked about it at home.
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:40.880
We’re thinking of buying, what’s it called, a niche?
00:37:41.040 --> 00:37:42.160
The niche, yes.
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.800
It would be ours and we wanted to ask the price.
00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:52.840
I’ll take you to the cemetery department now
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:56.080
and give you the various options.
00:37:56.120 --> 00:37:59.400
There are various niches in the different areas of the cemetery,
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.760
so you can choose.
00:38:02.120 --> 00:38:05.000
The price is around €1,800.
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.600
But it depends on the site you choose,
00:38:07.720 --> 00:38:09.600
it may be a little less,
00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:11.240
depending on what you choose.
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:13.520
What I feel is that,
00:38:13.720 --> 00:38:16.880
it may seem like a lie, but I'll say it.
00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:21.800
I believe in God,and all of that.
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:23.760
I’m religious,
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.120
But after my husband passed
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.200
a few weeks after,
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.680
I saw an angel at the foot of my bed.
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.080
I really saw that.
00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:39.760
It's not a lie,
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:41.760
I saw that
as clearly as I see this bottle.
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.600
An angel, doing this
00:38:46.560 --> 00:38:47.960
with her hands.
00:38:48.080 --> 00:38:50.240
She was young,
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.560
with long clothes.
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:54.920
You’ll say: I'm crazy.
00:38:55.040 --> 00:38:55.640
No.
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.680
I saw her.
00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:58.560
An angel.
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:03.200
I told my daughter and she said:
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.120
Mama, you’re not well.
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.680
You’re under a lot of tension.
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:11.520
I didn't pay any attention because I really saw her,
00:39:11.640 --> 00:39:13.680
with my own eyes.
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:15.160
- That is a blessing.
- The angel left.
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.480
but... at the same time
00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:20.680
she rose up, like when a rocket is fired off,
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:24.880
and goes up with a loud noise.
00:39:25.200 --> 00:39:27.600
What she took with her was the suffering.
00:39:27.680 --> 00:39:29.640
There is a Buddhist saying that
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.120
when something bad happens to us,
00:39:32.200 --> 00:39:33.800
it generates pain,
00:39:34.160 --> 00:39:37.600
and when we don’t accept that pain, it generates suffering,
00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:40.040
such as the loss of a loved one.
00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:41.200
Of course. It's very strong.
00:39:41.240 --> 00:39:43.480
What she also took away was the suffering.
00:39:43.520 --> 00:39:47.200
The pain is the loss and there’s no way to remove it.
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.800
I never said any more about it to my daughter.
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.560
I kept quiet to see if anything else happened.
00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:56.280
I was happy
00:39:56.520 --> 00:40:00.240
because I saw that there was something of God there.
00:40:00.600 --> 00:40:04.320
And I'm religious, but not too much either,
00:40:04.520 --> 00:40:05.840
just normal.
00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:09.400
Not only her. I’ve also seen...
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.680
well, you mightsay I was hallucinating
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.160
but people told me it’s scientifically true that those happen.
00:40:16.240 --> 00:40:19.440
and one appeared to me in the corridor, in a cloud.
00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:21.160
and I saw him fully,
00:40:21.240 --> 00:40:23.240
I saw his head, face... it was my brother.
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.440
He came to visit us at home.
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:29.200
Go on. It goes over there.
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.200
I’ll take it now.
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.560
Tomorrow we bring bleach because it smells like urine.
00:40:38.640 --> 00:40:39.680
Like that.
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:41.960
Lift it up.
00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:43.400
Straight.
00:40:43.520 --> 00:40:45.520
Higher, Jose.
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:48.480
Straighten it, Okay.
00:40:56.080 --> 00:41:00.560
Mama, we’ll put it in place and then tidy it up, okay?
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.680
Now give me a hand with the planters.
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:17.400
A kiss and also up there.
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:26.720
- It’s more or less the same every year.
- Yes.
00:41:27.080 --> 00:41:29.440
Do you like how it looks, mama?
00:41:30.560 --> 00:41:32.600
Do you have to take a photo?
00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:38.080
We’ll take it when this is all cleaned up.
00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:40.200
We’ll take the picture now.
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:51.200
Mama, do you want to come round here...
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:54.800
to the front to see if you approve?
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:58.040
We can put the broom in a bag.
00:42:04.200 --> 00:42:08.080
That’s how we leave it every year.
00:42:13.520 --> 00:42:17.480
Are we going to grandma’s grave?
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.960
You know I think differently
00:42:44.120 --> 00:42:47.440
Because, actually, they can be here every day of the year
00:42:47.520 --> 00:42:50.280
to come clean the graves and put flowers on them.
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:51.960
Yeah, but...
00:42:52.080 --> 00:42:55.160
The number of people coming tomorrow...
00:42:55.240 --> 00:42:57.320
Well, I'd rather come with people
00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:59.080
than when there’s no-one.
00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:01.280
I wouldn’t. I’d rather come alone,
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:04.280
because it’s something very intimate.
00:43:04.640 --> 00:43:08.280
But it’s also intimate like that.
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:12.840
No. Well, that’s what I think.
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:16.760
It’s a tradition on All Saints Day to visit
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:20.960
the deceased who are buried.
00:43:21.080 --> 00:43:22.320
It could also be
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:26.400
every year at Christmas but it isn’t.
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:30.600
There are a few special dates marked on the calendar
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.360
for this type of celebration
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:35.680
There’s no reason.
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.120
Your father is buried here, you can come any time, right?
00:43:39.240 --> 00:43:41.600
But do you think it's healthy
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:44.920
to remember and go to the cemetery so diligently?
00:43:45.040 --> 00:43:50.160
Isn’t that a little sick?
00:43:50.200 --> 00:43:50.880
No.
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.400
Hello, good evening, colleague Sergio.
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:35.400
Can you tell me what time the concert is tonight?
00:44:36.080 --> 00:44:40.520
I'm going with some friends. Many thanks.
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:42.720
Good evening.
00:45:04.240 --> 00:45:07.600
One moment, please, there’s a jam.
00:45:07.720 --> 00:45:11.680
There are cars on both sides going up and down.
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.520
A little patience please.
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:16.600
Come on,
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:18.240
let's go.
00:47:31.080 --> 00:47:34.320
This is the American type,
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:40.160
This is hardwood.
00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:46.600
This is the typically Mallorcan, still hand-made.
00:47:47.040 --> 00:47:48.960
Oh my God.
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:52.240
And sorry, I know it’s about
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.120
choosing something one doesn’t want.
00:47:54.200 --> 00:47:55.040
Yeah...
00:47:55.080 --> 00:47:58.320
These are the ones the insurance companies suggest
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.960
because they’re a medium quality coffin.
00:48:02.200 --> 00:48:05.880
Something simple.
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.720
This is the simplest wooden one.
00:48:11.200 --> 00:48:15.000
And this is the simplest of all but it’s fibreboard.
00:48:15.120 --> 00:48:16.960
Can it be without… the Christ figure?
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:18.560
Yes, of course.
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.600
But a Christ isn’t bad here.
00:48:21.680 --> 00:48:22.840
I haven’t asked them
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.760
because I’ve been told that there will be a funeral prayer.
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:27.840
That’s my feeling.
00:48:28.040 --> 00:48:29.560
Whatever you think.
00:48:29.680 --> 00:48:31.880
Well, if he likes it that way
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:35.200
but I think that a Christ here is very good.
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:37.760
This coffin, for example,
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.960
if you decide not have any religious symbols,
00:48:41.040 --> 00:48:43.800
we’d leave the top plain.
00:48:46.640 --> 00:48:48.400
That’s just my personal.
00:48:48.520 --> 00:48:52.840
My father would probably be fine with it.
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:54.280
Okay.
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:55.520
Whatever you want, Mama.
00:48:55.640 --> 00:48:57.560
Whatever you want.
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:03.280
And how much will cost this?
00:49:04.200 --> 00:49:06.960
The full service will be €2,300.
00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:09.320
To which you must add the rental of the niche,
00:49:09.520 --> 00:49:10.840
and the centre.
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.480
My God. Dying is expensive.
00:49:15.560 --> 00:49:17.960
It costs more to live.
00:49:25.240 --> 00:49:26.320
So, Tamara,
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:27.000
Tell me.
00:49:27.080 --> 00:49:29.920
Have you already chosen which of all of them is yours?
00:49:30.560 --> 00:49:31.840
Mine?
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:33.400
Of all the coffins.
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:34.600
have you chosen the one you want
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:36.840
for the day when God wants to take you?
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.720
Well, the truth is that...
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:42.320
These are Mallorcan.
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:43.640
Which ones, these?
00:49:45.040 --> 00:49:47.160
There are some that cost a fortune.
00:49:47.240 --> 00:49:51.600
The ones over there. They’re pricey!
00:49:51.680 --> 00:49:52.560
They’re expensive
00:49:52.680 --> 00:49:55.080
I’d like to be cremated...
00:49:55.160 --> 00:49:56.480
I haven’t thought about it much.
00:49:56.600 --> 00:49:58.000
I have.
00:49:58.080 --> 00:50:00.680
I’ve spoken to my children about it. Truly.
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:04.960
My children know I don’t care about the coffin.
00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:07.760
because once you’re dead you won’t know about it.
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:08.920
It’ll be just ash.
00:50:09.200 --> 00:50:10.600
So you want to be cremated?
00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:11.200
Yes.
00:50:11.560 --> 00:50:15.520
Being buried and left in a hole…
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.680
But burning me... On, my God!
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:21.720
But isn’t it worse to stay there?
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:24.360
I saw my mother when we took her out
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:28.120
and then we cremated her and there’s nothing, just bones.
00:50:29.560 --> 00:50:31.520
I haven’t really thought about it yet,
00:50:31.640 --> 00:50:34.560
but not cremation.
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:36.520
I don’t like fire.
00:50:36.640 --> 00:50:38.360
But you won’t even notice.
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.120
Yeah, but ...I’m terrified of fire.
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:43.520
But you won't know,
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:45.960
and it’s the cleanest way to go.
00:50:46.040 --> 00:50:50.360
I want them to scatter me, half here and half in Seville.
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:51.760
Oh?
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:53.520
To lie in my homeland.
00:50:53.680 --> 00:50:56.640
I’d rather not think about that now.
00:50:56.720 --> 00:50:59.000
But you have to think about tomorrow.
00:51:19.560 --> 00:51:22.120
-He heard the lottery on the radio.
00:51:22.200 --> 00:51:23.680
-You’re not going to win anything.
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:26.720
- Every week I win...
- Yes, every week you win.
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:29.400
Every week I win, don’t talk nonsense.
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:33.240
Like at the fair, I always win.
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.240
The rollover, the last two.
00:51:44.040 --> 00:51:45.720
The second or the first?
00:51:46.160 --> 00:51:47.360
The first.
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:06.240
- Have you finished with the eyes?
- Yes
00:53:12.240 --> 00:53:14.640
Should I put the rose inside?
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:16.520
It can't be burned...
00:53:16.680 --> 00:53:21.280
Yes, we’ll remove the silver paper. I’ll remove it now.
00:53:22.720 --> 00:53:24.800
Is it okay like that?
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.400
We’ll leave it for 5 minutes,
00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:28.160
I’ll enter and we’ll put the lid on,
00:53:28.240 --> 00:53:30.880
and then the rest of the family can come in.
