:01:02
to those who are willing
to climb them.
:01:18
I do not remember
when I was born.
:01:21
But, when I was three
months old,
:01:22
my mother returned
to my grandparents' home
:01:25
with me as the proof
of her failure.
:01:48
The splendor of my childhood
was unique,
:01:52
because of its absolute poverty,
and absolute freedom...
:01:59
out in the open,
:02:00
surrounded by trees,
animals, and people
:02:03
who were indifferent
toward me.
:02:15
Grandmother: Reinaldo!
:02:18
Reinaldo!
:02:23
Niño, apúrate con esa agua,
Dios mío!
:02:25
Mira que hay que esperar
en esta casa!
:02:27
My early life was surrounded
by a room full of unhappy women
:02:30
who were all bossed around
by my grandmother,
:02:34
the heart of the house,
:02:37
the only woman I ever saw
who peed standing up
:02:39
and talked to God
at the same time.
:02:43
My mother was a very beautiful
and very lonely woman.
:02:47
She had only known one man,
my father,
:02:50
and had enjoyed the pleasures
of love for only a few months
:02:54
and then, gave that all up
for the rest of her life,
:02:59
creating in her
a great sense of frustration.
