Who's this?

A Frog I met

Why bring him here?

Seen those rings?

Tell him to go

Clear off

Just a minute

You, here?

As you see, it's a small world

You interrupted just when...

...the future seemed interesting

She's beyond hope

But she'll soon meet her match

Let's go

Walk down the street...

...and forget tonight's events

My watch!

Best forgotten

A few days later,...

...I employed Antonio once more...

...to help me move

to what I suspected...

...had been as important

a citadel as Cordoba

Is this common in Andalusia?

Don Prospero!

In barely a week,...

...we saw the earth

open and give birth...

...to the testimony of an

Almost unknown culture

A few days later, on myreturn

to the monastery,...

...I received a surprise

Thanks, Antonio

Praised be the Holiest!

Welcome, my dear friend

I, your servant,...

...and my brethren were

praying for your soul

What do you mean?

So you were not killed?

We know you were robbed

They found your watch

in that bandit's house

Praise be to God

The accused will rise

The trial took place

some days later

The verdict

And I was summoned as a witness

This court,...

...by the powers vested in it...

...by HM Ferdinand VII,

King of Spain,...

...made up of the

disciplinary council, finds...

...Jose Lizarrabengoa...

...guilty of banditry

with military dishonour

His crime is considered proven,...

...he being the confessed,

convicted author...

...of the crimes of murder

and armed robbery

Consequently,...

...it condemns Jose Lizarrabengoa...

...to death by garroting

Signed in Cordoba

Carmen

Your neck's shorter. That's it!

I brought you these

Anything else I can do?

Thanks, I don't think...

...I'll need any more

Do you think bribes,...

...or the influence of

friends might get...

...your sentence commuted?

Arrange a Mass

for my soul's salvation

Do you know Seville,...

...that huge building by

the city wall near the river?

Help!

She's dead! She's killed her!

Back there, in the cigar room!

Help me, please! Help me!

To the guardroom and calm her down!

Take two men and see what's going on

Fate's finger had just

traced my future in fire

It's all yours, come and try it

Let us through!

Out of the way! Quiet!

Fight, fight, bastard!

Quiet! Quiet!

Give me all you've got Basque!

Tell Big Nose we prefer you

I'm bleeding to death!

Get me a priest, and a hangman

to garrotte that b*tch!

Your mother was the b*tch!

Silence!

Right, what's going on?

You must come with me

Only because I trust you

Give me my mantilla.

-Let's go

Slut!

B*tch!

You're for it now!

Shut up, all of you!

Silence!

Murderess!

Anything to say?

Carmen started it

Rubbish! It was Fernanda.

Vicente Aranda Ezquerra (Spanish: [biˈθente aɾanˈða eθˈkera]; 9 November 1926 – 26 May 2015) was a Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer.Due to his refined and personal style, he was one of the most renowned Spanish filmmakers. He started as a founding member of the Barcelona School of Film and became known for bringing contemporary Spanish novels to life on the big screen. Aranda was also noted for exploring difficult social issues and variations on the theme of desire while using the codes of melodrama. Love as uncontrollable passion, eroticism and cruelty are constant themes in his filmography. The frank examination of sexuality is one of the trademarks of his work, as seen in his most internationally successful film: Amantes (1990) (Lovers). more…
