August Winds Page #3

Synopsis: Shirley has left the big city to live in a small seaside town and look after her elderly grandmother. She drives a tractor on a local coconut plantation, loves rock music and wants to be a tattoo artist. She feels trapped in the tiny coastal village. She is involved with Jeison, who also works on the coconut farm and who free dives for lobster and octopus in his spare time. During the month of August, when tropical storms pound the coastline, a researcher registering the sound of the trade winds emanating from the Intertropical Convergence Zone arrives in their village. The high tides and the growing winds mark the following days of the village and a surprise discovery takes Shirley and Jeison on a journey that confronts them with the duel between life and death, loss and memory, the wind and the sea.

Shirley, isn't that enough'?

If you load any more,

the hitch will end up breaking.

It's weak as it is.

When you broke it last time,

Mr. Afrncio lost it.

Yeah, that's enough.

You can stop loading.

We're going to take this load

to the warehouse.

Stay here While I go help

unload the wagon, okay?

You're losing a lot of hair.

That's true, dear. it's really damaged.

Jeison's been acting weird

with me, Grandma.

He's obsessing about something

that has nothing to do with him.

Right...

Put more sand over here.

There's plenty there already.

This is Where the Water comes in stronger.

I told you to do this properly,

not to tend to a corpse.

Forget the damn corpse

and get the job done!

An undertaker handles dead bodies,

a fisherman catches fish.

Bring a corpse home?

You should have left it at the beach.

A corpse won't help you do your job right.

If I weren't ill, I'd do it myself,

and I guarantee it would hold.

He rose to his holy and saintly throne.

We offer the Lords Prayer,

a Hail Mary, a Saint Mary,

an Apostls Creed and a Hail to the Queen

to Saint Peter, Saint Paul,

Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian,

so that they may cure you of spells

and Ward off eyes, big and evil,

cold, fever, foolishness, migraines,

headaches, sun, dew and shooting pains.

Reign in the waves of the Holy Sea,

Where no roosters sing, no sheep bleat,

no dogs bark, no cats meow or pagans cry.

Bear the five wounds of our Lord Jesus

and my heavenly Father.

Believe in God the Father Almighty,

creator of heaven and earth,

as I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ,

in Our Lady and my godfather Cicero,

in the Holy Spirit,

so he may cure you and save you from evil.

Shine peace on the Holy Sea through

the powers of God,

the Virgin Mary, the Holy Father

and of the Holy Spirit, amen...

If the waters of the sea of life

Seek to drown you

Hold the hand of God

And carry on

Hold the hand of God

Hold the hand of God

For he will pull you up

Fear not and carry on

And don't look back

Shirley, isn't the wagon full enough'?

You'll break the hitch!

No, fill her up.

Mr. Afrncio sent this wagon

because it holds more coconuts.

He wants it full to the brim.

He's ambitious, Mr. Afrncio!

Can I come with you to help unload?

No need.

There are three men at the shed

to help me out.

Listen up!

Stop loading!

We already have enough.

You can climb down now.

Why did you let this happen?

Why don't you do as I tell you?

Always doing What you feel like!

Damn it!

You screwed up the barrier,

and the waters gone everywhere.

Call the police

to come get that damn corpse.

Do as you're told for once. Damn fool!

You didn't take care of your mother,
