My main concern

is...

not losing what we've won.

That's what matters.

This is for Simon, OK?

OK.

Is he asleep?

I don't know.

Nice.

How have you been?

Fine.

Fine.

And Simon?

He feels lonely.

And the maid?

Fine.

Is she a good cook?

Yes.

He's not alone.

He knows I'm here.

Did they hit you much?

No.

That kid understands everything.

No, he doesn't get any of it.

Neither do I, to tell you the truth.

The maid can't do everything.

You're going to work for the NO?

To do what?

To win.

You'll legitimize Pinochet's sham.

You'll say yes, he's my president.

this is my constitution.

Mercenary.

The boy has to get up at 7am.

Why don't you stay tonight?

We'll have breakfast together.

OK.

Are they paying you well?

I can't complain.

Oh, well.

Let me give him a kiss, please.

Go ahead.

I love you, sweetheart.

We're going to get rid of Pinochet.

VOTE NO:

Right.

Ren, we're listening.

Is that all?

I think so, isn't it?

Sorry. There's nothing else?

Something else?

Something else...

Something a little lighter.

A little nicer.

Comrade,

do you think

that what's going on in Chile is nice?

No. Let's see...

It moves me as it moves all of you.

However,

I think that

it's not very appealing.

Well. Let's try.

Let's try, from both sides,

to give more constructive opinions.

Me too?

Everyone.

Let's give our opinions, and move on.

I'd like to know if anyone thinks

we can win with this campaign.

I think the main objective...

Excuse me?

We must open the eyes

of those who don't want to vote.

That's the main objective.

Dictatorship has destroyed this country

and will continue to destroy it,

with its economic success

and 40% of the population

living below the poverty line.

We all agree

we want to win the referendum,

but some only want to win,

without really reforming Chile.

We want another kind of victory.

But the advertiser

asked a different question.

Our comrade asked

if you think that we're going to win.

The answer is no.

We don't think that we're going to win.

The referendum was lost from the moment

the fascist right called for it.

Then why pitch this campaign?

To raise awareness

and fill the spaces

the dictatorship had to open,

and which we won.

Let us fill them.

Exactly.

Let them allow us to win,

maybe, but let them accept us.

If we already lost, we should give up.
