Manuel de Ribera Page #2

Synopsis: An uninhabited island lies across a fishermen's cove on the south of Chile. Manuel Ribera arrives at its shores one evening aboard a precarious boat; he is here to claim this territory as an inheritance. Jobless, with no family or money, he will slowly inmerse in these surroundings to give shape to his innermost desire: the founding of a community where he can satisfy his secret thirst for power.

flew to the third heaven...

and there

I heard...things...

tremendous things

coming from God.

I talked to God,

And there in heaven, He

designed a church for me.

A wonderful church

God designed it in

heaven, in the infinite...

and His voice even told me

its dimensions, 10x25.

..And take

people to live there.

I'm going to give them land.

- You are going to give them land?

- Yes, as their own.

And a house too?

Yes, that's why

I'm building them.

The faith...

in your heart...

that which made you, as you say,

get something out of nothing...

is something huge

that you can still get from life.

You're a young man;

You still have dynamism.

And, here...

there is...

a relic, we could say...

a piece of wood...

that I believe, God

apparently kept for you.

If I give it to you,

would you accept it?

It's from when this church was built,

and I want to give it to you.

If you offer it to me...

why not.

Lord...

this simple piece of wood...

There once was a man that said:

"Lord, from these four pieces of wood...

hangs America's destiny."

On this piece of wood...

let all this man's good

intentions depend, Lord.

Let all the work from

his hands thrive.

I believe and I hope,

by Jesus Christ, my savior.

Amen.

OK. Now we're ready.

Why didn't you come?

No, it's just that...

my friends hid my boat...

and what do they do that for?

Just to goof around.

Because I'm an outsider.

It does n't matter.

I'll get another boatman.

At least say

"thank you" for the tools.

Take them back, then!

A**hole...

How did it go in town?

Just as I thought it would.

Typical town full of

half-asleep jerks.

Look...

The town minister

gave it to me.

Are you an Evangelist?

No.

I don't believe

in those things.

Hand me the handsaw.

Hey.

Yeah?

Why did you come here?

It's all I've got.

Thanks for the tools.

What story do you want to tell?

Here, people are always

making up stories about lonely men...

about lonely people...

Because it's full

of empty places...

There's less people,

less things...

everything is just like

that, down to minimum.

But there are lonely

men everywhere...

and empty places too.

Why travel this far?

Taben,

Queullin,

Chidhuapi,

Lin,

Aptao,

Quenu,

Huito.

Huan

There're around 14

islands in the area.

Yes.

A lot of islands.

People are born

on their island...

and there they are...

but they are not.

They are there,

and they are not.

Sometime they go far

to find their fortune...

This way and that way...

This way and that

way...and back again.

Morons!

And, in the end, where

do they end up dying?

Just on their island.

Each one to his own island.

That's how it is.
