Short filmTranscript
00:00Eugenium is driving a car through a rural landscape.
00:04The focus is on the journey through the countryside, highlighting the serene and somewhat isolated
00:09setting.
00:10As he arrives at a different house in the countryside, Martin approaches the front door
00:14and knocks.
00:15A middle-aged woman answers.
00:17Martin, appearing worn and travel-weary, politely asks the woman if a certain lady is still
00:22living there.
00:23The woman informs Martin that the lady he is looking for left the house about four years
00:27ago and now she lives here with his husband and children.
00:30Disappointed, Martin thanks her and moves on, continuing his search.
00:34Martin needs to find a place to stay.
00:37He spends the evening resting in a secluded garden, surrounded by straw and grass.
00:42Upon awakening, he discovers a faucet close by.
00:45He refills his bottle and consumes a generous amount of water.
00:48He rinses a peach and consumes it.
00:51Later, he finds a house with an old lady.
00:53He offers her his services and she gives him a task to do.
00:57He completes his task and the lady gives her money, a drink, and something to eat.
01:01He thanks the lady and walks away.
01:03He discovers a spot to rest and begins counting the money he has, hides the money underneath
01:07a flowerpot, and proceeds to eat the food he received from the elderly woman.
01:12Subsequently, he locates a spot with a water tap and refreshes himself with water.
01:17He again sleeps in the place where he slept last night.
01:20Eugenio is in his house alone, writing, reading, practicing yoga, and using his Mac to type
01:26away in the dining room at a classy table that has stacks of books, a soup tureen, and
01:30other symbols of bourgeois respectability resting on it.
01:34He sketches while sitting in the garden and after this, he lays down under the sun to
01:38relax.
01:39Eugenio appears to be contemplating something at all times.
01:42He is interrupted in his thoughts by a knock on the door, prompting him to stand up and
01:46check who is there.
01:48Martin is at the door.
01:49He greets Eugenio and tells him that he is there to find some work.
01:53He says he can do anything like cleaning the pool or mowing the lawn.
01:57Eugenio replies with a smile that this house belongs to his uncle and aunt and he is only
02:01looking after it and the owners of the house deal with such matters, like hiring someone
02:05for the job.
02:06He tells him to come back tomorrow and he'll talk to his uncle and aunt if they have any
02:10job to give.
02:12Martin expresses his gratitude and then realizes the person's identity, inquiring if he is
02:17Eugenio.
02:18Eugenio confirms that he is the person mentioned and Martin informs him that he used to swim
02:22in the pool at the residence where Eugenio currently resides.
02:26Martin attempts to jog Eugenio's memory by stating that he is Russian, Esther's child
02:31and that they owned a convenience store.
02:34Eugenio manages to recall him and inquires about his well-being.
02:38Eugenio invites Martin to enter and Martin declines, saying he will return tomorrow.
02:42In the morning, Eugenio sits by the window and waits for Martin to come.
02:47When Martin arrives, Eugenio explains to him the job that he has to do.
02:51Martin starts doing his work.
02:53Eugenio comes with water and food and asks Martin to come and eat.
02:57By the way, Martin is eating, it seems he has been hungry for a long time.
03:01Eugenio asks him where he has been staying and he lies that he has been staying at her
03:04aunt's house who lives by the hospital.
03:07Martin tells him that he has been here only once when he was 18.
03:11His mother died when he was 13 and then he started living with his grandmother.
03:15He also tells him about having a job at Buenos Aires.
03:18Eugenio asks where in Buenos Aires is he going to live to which Martin gets confused and
03:22says he doesn't know again.
03:24Martin goes back to the place he took shelter in previously and hides his money under the
03:28pot.
03:29The next morning, Martin returns to Eugenio's place for work.
03:33After finishing his work, he comes to Eugenio who is busy making a sketch.
03:37He asks him if he can take a shower in the storage room.
03:40Eugenio tells him there is no hot water there.
03:42He offers to take a shower in the bathroom in the house.
03:45He refuses but Eugenio insists.
03:48While Martin is taking a shower, Eugenio is looking for some clothes for Martin.
03:52After searching everywhere, he finally finds a set of trousers and a shirt.
03:56Eugenio sits outside the bathroom and when Martin comes out he hands him over the clothes
03:59by saying these clothes are for him.
04:02He can try and said that he cannot work wearing his clothes.
04:05Martin thanks him and takes the clothes.
04:08Martin comes out and tells Eugenio that he is going.
04:11Eugenio offers him to sit for a while and eat cookies as he has been working for the
04:14whole day.
04:16Martin sits and Eugenio tells him that he has spoken to his aunt and they have a job
04:20for him for the whole summer.
04:22Martin is happy to learn this.
04:24Eugenio asks Martin where he was going.
04:26He offers him a ride.
04:28On their way, Eugenio removes his shirt, complaining about the heat, and Martin warns him that
04:32he'll wet the seat after glancing at his private part.
04:36Eugenio drops him to his aunt's house and Martin walks towards his place of living after
04:40Eugenio drives away.
04:42Martin thinks about Eugenio while sitting.
04:45Eugenio is in the swimming pool and when he sees Martin coming, he offers him to dive
04:49into the pool.
04:50Martin hesitantly refuses but Eugenio insists and finds him a swimsuit to wear.
04:55Martin changes and Eugenio appears to be interested in him.
04:59He secretly watches Martin while he changes.
05:02While Martin is swimming in the pool, Eugenio watches him and seems to be lost in thought
05:06while Martin talks to him casually.
05:08Martin appears very happy after his swim, while Eugenio looks somewhat confused.
05:13It turns out that Martin has been telling a story to Eugenio the whole time but he wasn't
05:17listening as he was too lost in his thoughts.
05:19When he focuses on what Martin is saying, he only hears him saying, two pineapples.
05:24He gets up and walks away, Martin is confused to see this.
05:28Martin waited for Eugenio for a long time outside the house.
05:31When he didn't come, Martin went to peek through the window and sees that Eugenio was
05:35working on the laptop.
05:37He's not sure what's going on and goes back and sits on a log.
05:40Eugenio makes himself busy in arranging the books.
05:43He opens an album with pictures of him with a girl and then puts it back.
05:46He throws the album along with some books in the garbage.
05:49Martin collects the garbage and throws it in the garbage bin outside the house but he
05:53takes out the books with him.
05:55When he sits in his place, he opens the album and looks at the pictures with a smile.
05:59The next day, Martin comes back to work.
06:02Eugenio sits with him while he is eating breakfast and shows him something in a magazine.
06:07He asks him about his aunt and grandmother and the house he was living in with his grandmother.
06:11He tells him that he was living with his grandmother and when she died his uncle asked him to leave
06:15and now he has nothing to do with that house.
06:18Martin is fixing a car and Eugenio is looking after the plants.
06:22Eugenio hears a scream from Martin and learns that he has got a cut on his thigh.
06:26Eugenio insists on putting something on the wound or else it will get worse.
06:30Martin takes off his pants and Eugenio puts a bandage on his wound.
06:35Eugenio tells him that he has to get a tetanus injection.
06:37He tells him he'll take him to the hospital and then he'll drop him off at his aunt's
06:41house.
06:42Martin tells him that he is not living with his aunt and takes him to the place where
06:45he is living.
06:47Eugenio makes him gather his belongings and brings him to his house.
06:50He sets up a bed for Martin in the storage room and asks if he has a job in March.
06:55He tells them that they have given him a word.
06:57Eugenio tells him that he will take him to the hospital tomorrow to see if he needs a
07:00tetanus shot.
07:02The next day both get to work and after work, Eugenio gives some books to Martin to study
07:06in his free time.
07:08Eugenio is working on his laptop.
07:10While having lunch, Eugenio tells Martin that he is going to Buenos Aires for a night and
07:14he can eat the leftovers from the fridge or cook anything he wants.
07:17He tells him that he has to take care of the house.
07:20After Eugenio leaves, Martin eats the leftovers from the fridge and he heads towards Eugenio's
07:25room.
07:26He sniffs his shirt and tries it on.
07:28He looks at Eugenio's stuff and sleeps in his bed.
07:31The next morning, Martin is taking a shower.
07:33Eugenio barges in the bathroom and says he is going to wash some clothes so he is taking
07:37his clothes.
07:38He also tells him to come to his room after shower.
07:41After coming outside the washroom, Eugenio smiles.
07:44Martin comes to Eugenio's room and Eugenio hands him over some clothes, telling him that
07:48he bought them from him and he should try them on to see if they fit.
07:52He tells him to change clothes right there as it's not a problem.
07:55While he changes clothes, Eugenio watches him secretly.
07:59During lunch, Martin asks Eugenio what he has been writing and he starts telling him
08:03the story of the novel that he has been writing.
08:05He tells it's a story about fair and unfair and the name of the novel is The Germ.
08:11The conflict in The Germ involves a landowner and his little daughter, who wonders why he
08:15owns the land instead of someone else.
08:17The tension in The Germ involves a landowner and his little daughter, who wonders why he
08:21owns the land instead of someone else.
08:24Martin is sitting on a log thinking about something when Eugenio comes to him with a
08:27bottle of coke in his hand.
08:30Martin takes a sip of coke and tells Eugenio that he remembers how they stoned a cat to
08:34death when they were young and they talk about how they used to go hunting with Eugenio's
08:38father.
08:39Eugenio gets up, takes off his pants and starts peeing.
08:42Martin looks at him.
08:44Eugenio suggests swimming under the bridge.
08:46Martin says he doesn't have a swimsuit to which Eugenio says it's okay, they can swim
08:50naked, he will not look.
08:52Both have a nice swim under the bridge.
08:54When Martin comes up, Eugenio stares at him and smiles, Martin notices.
08:59Eugenio suggests that they should go eat something.
09:01They go for shooting and they aim at a steel can.
09:04Eugenio fails to hit the can and says the vision is crooked as the gun is old.
09:08When Martin tries, he hits the can on his first try.
09:12Eugenio suggests they should place a bet to see who's better.
09:15Eugenio missed all shots while Martin hit all shots.
09:18Eugenio is not happy and he walks away talking to someone on the phone.
09:21It seems like he is pretending to be on call.
09:23While eating, Martin suddenly starts laughing.
09:27Eugenio asks him what's so funny and Martin explains that he's remembering a time when
09:31his dad gave him a red sweater that he wore all winter with Eugenio's name written on
09:35it.
09:36They both share a laugh and Eugenio mentions that his grandmother knitted the sweater for
09:40him and his siblings.
09:42Martin asked when his father passed away and he was told it was two years ago.
09:47Martin and Eugenio had fun swimming with Eugenio trying to teach Martin how to float.
09:52Both are sitting quietly and Martin is thinking about something.
09:55They decide to race and the loser will have to give something to the winner.
09:59Eugenio requests his necklace from Martin who refuses, stating that it's from a special
10:03girl but not his girlfriend.
10:05Then Martin asks for Eugenio's glasses.
10:08Both start running but Eugenio stops after a while saying his heart is beating faster.
10:13Martin places a hand on his chest and says it's okay.
10:16Both are drinking at night when Eugenio leaves him like always and starts working on his
10:20laptop.
10:21Martin goes to sleep on his bed.
10:23Eugenio comes with another bottle and tries to wake Martin up by saying he found another
10:27one.
10:28Martin is deep asleep.
10:30Eugenio touches his private parts but Martin changes sides and keeps sleeping.
10:35Eugenio places his hand on Martin's back and tries to wake him up.
10:39Eugenio sleeps with Martin hugging him from behind.
10:42After a long sleep, Martin wakes up and is surprised to see Eugenio sleeping with him.
10:46He gets up quietly and walks away.
10:48When Eugenio wakes up, Martin is cleaning the pool.
10:51When Martin asks him about the trash, he tells him he can't talk right now.
10:55A brother of Eugenio comes and meets Martin as well.
10:58He asks Eugenio if he likes Martin.
11:01Eugenio says yes but nothing has happened.
11:04His cousin asks him if has he told Martin about this to which Eugenio says that he should
11:08have told him that he is gay that's why he is giving him the job.
11:11His cousin tells him that he'll have to leave at 7.
11:14Eugenio and Martin carry a table to place it in the room.
11:17During this Eugenio hits some stuff on the way and his sketches fall to the ground.
11:22Martin looks at the sketches and those are of naked men.
11:25Eugenio puts the sketches back in their place.
11:28While having lunch Martin stares at Eugenio.
11:31When he asks what it is he says they need to buy chlorine.
11:34At night it's raining and Martin is in his room when Eugenio comes looking for something
11:38and asks Martin for it.
11:40Martin starts taking off his clothes, shows his private parts and asks Eugenio if he can
11:45wash his clothes here.
11:47Eugenio is shocked and walks away.
11:49While clearing the leaves from the roof something gets into Eugenio's eyes.
11:52Martin takes it out and cleans away leaves from Eugenio's body and tries to kiss him
11:56but Eugenio stops him by saying no.
11:59Martin walks away and Eugenio asks if it's because of drawings.
12:03Martin is not happy and walks away.
12:05Martin sits alone in anger and Eugenio comes up looking for him but fails to find him.
12:10He goes to the place where Martin used to live but he is not there as well.
12:14He sits there and finds a book that Martin took from his garbage.
12:17He finds a picture of a man inside the book.
12:20He goes back home and opens his laptop.
12:22He imagines Martin whispering pineapple in his ears.
12:26Eugenio goes through his stuff and finds a view from the slides of a shared childhood
12:29experience of marveling at images of Hawaii.
12:32He finds a camera to see those pictures but the camera is not working.
12:36He then finds a projector and sees the pictures.
12:39Among those pictures is the picture of two pineapples.
12:43Eugenio now understands why Martin talked about two pineapples.
12:46He repairs the camera, inserts the reel into it and leaves the camera on a rock at the
12:50place where Martin previously took shelter with the hope that Martin will find the camera
12:54and come back.
12:56Martin finds the camera and comes back to Eugenio and they both get emotional and kiss
13:00each other.
