'I am returning to Goa after 24 years.'
'I had left the country along with the parents..'
'..even before the liberation.'
'At that time, Goa was with the Portuguese.'
The way to Lothavi is from there, isn't it?
No, sir, that's the old route.
In the common wealth conference new routes were built.
Tudo and Margaret Starchier had come, so..
..the government has spent a lot of money.
Take a right turn. - Okay.
'Although I spent my childhood and youth here..'
'..no one will even know me here now.'
'Maybe if I tell my forefathers' name..'
'..then maybe they would recognise after all.'
'I had a distant uncle, he is no more too.'
'So many years have passed, but still I remember everything.'
'Everything has changed here.'
'Roads, electricity, water. Tourists have come too.'
'Thanks to the money from Gulf, concrete houses..'
'..have started coming up amidst the grains.'
'But I have not come to see all this.'
'I stayed out of Goa for so many years.'
'Mumbai, Kampala, then Mumbai again.'
'Then I saw the entire world in Merchant Marine.'
'But my motherland..'
'My wife is from Mumbai, she will not understand all this.'
'This is my village, Lothari.'
'Our beautiful church.'
'It is said that this is the oldest church in Goa.'
From the left.
'My village is like a beautiful Ming vase.'
'If you can't understand its history..'
'..then it will look like only a delicate and beautiful vase.'
'All the traditions related to it will slowly deteriorate.'
'Like the past memories.'
'Actually my own Ming vase, is not the entire village..'
'..but this old ancestral manor.'
'Now it is standing quietly amidst the leaves..'
'..and the wild lechers.'
'Its courtyard is lonely, doors closed..'
'..windows like lustreless eyes.'
'Maybe no one lives her too.'
'Our ancestors lived here for the past 350 years.'
'Dona Maria would say.. Bury me in this garden.'
'Who knows where her grave will be.'
'The family insignia that's carved on top of the door..'
'..Dona Maria's grandfather had got it.'
'Who had shown his loyalty and caught..'
'..the famous revolutionary Rane.'
'What was the name of the watchman?'
'I can't remember now.'
Who is it?
John, isn't it?
Piyadad.
Yeah, Piyadad.
Didn't you recognise me?
I am Ruiz. Ruiz Pereira.
Can I come in?
'The coffin has arrived for the pyre.'
'Did you hear that song?'
'Our Donna Maria, is sitting in the pink room..'
'..and listening to the Portuguese songs..'
'..in the voice of Amaliya.'
'Our house is still the same.'
'This beautiful and artistic stairs of the Burma wood.'
'The sunlight coming in from the windows.'
'The chapel.'
'And this side, Donna Maria's room with a big bed.'
'All the neighbours have come to pay respect.'
'The one walking in the front, is Francis.'
'And he is always drunk.'
'And.. the man that is lying on the bed,'
'He is absolutely dead.'
'Ernesto Suez-e-Suarez.'
'Donna Maria's husband.'
'His daughter Sylvia is sitting by the side and crying.'
'Aurora, her elder daughter is saying something to her.'
'Seems like Aurora is worried..'
'..why is grandmother listening to songs on this occasion.'
'Sylvia tells this to her husband.'
'Senior Lucio. He is a live-in son-in-law.'
'Maria is listening to songs..'
'..as if someone else's husband has died and not hers.'
'Sylvia and Lucio are helpless and shocked.'
'And this beautiful girl is Ana.'
'Sylvia and Lucio's younger daughter.'
'There are two younger brothers too.'
'I love her like crazy.'
'Sylvia and Lucio have 4 children.'
'Francis is drunk like always.'
'My uncle, doctor Pereira is standing along with them.'
'And this is Aurora again.'
'She is very religious.'
'And a man like Francis, has fallen for her.'
'The man that's keeping his hand on Ana's shoulder.'
'He is her future fiancee Irasmo.'
'Ana doesn't like him at all.'
'He has come with his parents from Lisboan to fix the alliance.'
'Though these people from Goa, but now they belong there.'
'Irasmo's mother, Donna Amalia, doest like..'
'..this fake mourning at all.'
'And she complains to her husband senor Rinato.'
'And that, that's me 24 years ago.'
'Mela Grinya, she is so beautiful, isn't she?'
'She still mesmerises me.
'She is late Ernesto's illegitimate child..'
'..Donna Maria bought her up?'
'This is the pink room I had mentioned.'
'And you must have understood, sitting on this chair is..'
'..Donna Maria Suez-e-Suarez.'
'The owner of the manor.'
'Just watch, Sylvia is so upset because of the music.'
'They are speaking in Portuguese..'
'..but you must have understood, what they are saying.'
'Maria doesn't want to accept that her husband is dead.'
'Says, all of this has happened because of that wretched Florinda.'
'Senor Ernesto was.. a flirt old man.'
'How long will I translate for you?'
'Why don't our characters speak a language..'
'..which you can understand too.'
Who says he is dead?
Whenever he feels like teasing me..
..he acts dead like that.'
Mama, please, everything is ready.
Father Sequiera is waiting.
Stop crying.
Always crying.
Where did you learn this bad habit from?
Mama. - The children have learnt from you too.
They start screaming and crying for a small thing.
Mama. Mama, everything is ready.
The pyre is ready to be lifted how will everyone come?
All the villagers are fools!
They are very eager to bury him.
So that they can quickly forget who Ernesto was.
Mama. At least stop the music!
Mela Grinya, stop this music!
Why did it stop, play it.
Stay with mama.
Your mama is gone mad.
Her actions are so shameful.
You don't say anything in front of her!
It is not right to argue at such an occasion.
And why have you tied this bow-tie.
Are you attending a wedding procession?
Will I have to tell you that too?
Why are these people still showing off this mourning?
All the crying, it seems so manner less.
It is an old habit, dies hard.
Now the date for the engagement will be postponed too.
Sylvia was about to ask Donna Maria.
O God! I am very worried.
If the flights from Goa to Portuguese stop..
..we will be stuck here.
Everyday, there is a new problem.
Please don't cry, Ana.
Everything will be fine.
I am there.
Sorry. I am sorry. Sorry.
Ana, Ana. I am sorry.
Ana..
Where is Aurora?
Three days ago, he had stopped talking to Donna Maria.
And because of this wretched Flora.
In the night when he got up, he was very drunk.
He died in the bathroom itself.
Oh God!
Bhaskarin would've told this to you.
Bhaskarin had said.
Said, father Ernesto, father Ernesto.
You are a dog.
Anything you see moving, you pounce on it.
Get lost from here.
Aurora, you don't know what I am going through.
God, please forgive mummy.
Maybe the devil has overpowered her.
What are you saying!
In the old age, people become insane and stubborn.
Mela Grinya, will they dig a hole in the ground..
..and bury grandfather in it?
If they bury him, then his ghost will scare you in the night.
He will become a ghost. - A ghost.
Mela Grinya, take the children from here.
Papa, Mela Grinya says that grandpa's ghost..
..will arise in the night and scare us.
Yes, papa. - Fernando, quiet!
Your grandpa has passed away today.
You shouldn't say that.
Leave the children.
Get mama ready.
Or else the pyre will leave without her.
Mama has gone mad, she will not listen to me.
Ask doctor Pereira.
Mama doesn't listen to anyone. - I should go and tell him?
You can't even do such a small thing!
Donna Maria.
Donna Maria. Come on.
We are going to take Ernesto away.
Ana, I am with you in your sorrows.
Senor Ernesto was a very nice man.
Whenever I used to greet him, he would always answer.
Ana, I can't see you crying like this.
I have given it.
Enough mama, I have given it.
There is nothing left for you here.
Mama, come on, mama.
Let's go home mama.
Mama, you have caused us a lot of problems mama.
Come on, mama.
How can I leave, dear?
Everything that belongs to me lies here.
Mama, all the last rites have been performed.
Dear, how can I just leave him?
It seems as if I forget Ernesto's face..
..I won't remember my face.
This is the face, I used to see in the mirror everyday.
If that perishes, what will be left for me?
Even with distances, the relation is still there.
But when you lack behind time, then what is left.
Just a vacuum.
Which we keep alive with memories.
Ernesto.
Friends, I raise this toast in the name of..
..my friend Ernesto Suez-e-Suarez.
Not of your imported whiskey.
But my cashew fenny.
Ernesto used to drink scotch.
May Senor D'sousa be immortal and his whiskey!
At least pay respect to his soul.
Senor doctor, carefully.
This drink, is in the name of our friend Ernesto.
He was a good, nice and joyful person.
His demise has ended a special era and milestone.
After a complete life.
He left amongst us.
His good wife.
A nice daughter.
And other than that, some beautiful children..
..of which, some are present here.
He shouldn't have said that.
Your father was like that.
Who knows how many children he has?
Ernesto's life was a luxurious and comfortable one.
And his death was in the same way too.
Lord, have mercy on his soul.
Goa.
He took our familiar Goa with him.
Now a new era is going to begin.
So now will Indian's rule here?
Why not, aren't we Goan's Indians?
Not at all.
We are the citizens of Portugal.
That's why general Ferry sent the entire army to Africa.
Portugal will not protect Goa.
Not Portugal, we want our own country.
Independent Goa.
Where there will be our culture and our people.
We will have everything here.
Like Switzerland.
Francis, you don't know what you are saying.
Francis, will you tell our farmers and citizens..
..that they are the residents of Switzerland.
You didn't understand.
Goa belongs to the Goans.
Every commodity is sold for double the amount.
We don't need India.
Everything comes from outside.
Potato from Holland. Beef from Argentina.
And from Japan too..
A lot of things come from Japan. I don't remember.
Who is snatching Goa from whom?
India, from the Portuguese.
They have made a blockade.
Blockade, it is just a joke and nothing else.
If Portuguese will not do anything then Goa should..
.. pass a proposition for freedom.. ..in the United Nations.
What freedom?
The freedom to maintain your pride and honor.
The hell with the rest of the world.
Since when have you started speaking political language, Senor Simon?
Are you going with the flow?
No.
Everyone knows how I am.
You are the one into politics, everyone knows that.
Culture, freedom, Switzerland.
What kind of a culture is this?
Where a person was born, grew up, resided that's his culture.
Our country is a blend of many beautiful colours..
..and it's most beautiful colour is, Goa.
Aurora.
Why do you drink so much Francis?
Aurora.
Francis!
Come, sit with mama.
Can I sit there, Aurora?
Ana.
Ana, I am with you in your sorrows.
Senor Ernesto was a very nice person.
Every time I would greet her. He would answer me.
No one knows the future.
We can only connect it with the past.
Because only the past is alive.
And it provokes us, lures us.
To mould it and redecorate it again.
But you all want to forget the past.
That's why you are all wandering about in strange paths.
Please excuse me.
I would like to go.
With a great difficulty he ruined him.
Until he was alive, she would curse him.
And now she cannot forget him.
This is world.
He was a nice man.
He was good at heart.
What will you do when the Indian forces arrive?
What will we do?
The masters keep changing, we always stay there.
Are you mourning or singing wedding songs.
Do you know what I saw in the graveyard?
What, ghost?
In the graveyard I saw, that everyone was crying..
..a strong wind blew, and suddenly Senor Lucio's teeth..
..fell near the grave.
Mama. Mama, I wanted to talk to you.
Will we mourn the entire year? - What?
What about the engagement?
Irasmo's parents are in a hurry.
Madam, one year is a long time.
Ask your papa what he says.
Mama, again the same!
Sylvia, father Sequera is leaving.
Donna Maria, now I will leave too.
Good night.
I am calling Ernesto tonight, will you wait?
What's the hurry?
So that he doesn't forget the way home.
Please sleep.
Good night.
I am so sad.
Dear, when you haven't seen happiness..
..then what are you sad about?
Good night. - Good night.
Mela Grinya, close the door.
Mama has closed all the doors of her room. - Yes.
She must be summoning ghosts and ghouls.
That's the only way to know papa's deeds.
She has still not left that habit.
Ernesto, come back.
Ernesto, Maria is calling you.
Can hear me, Ernesto? Say something.
It is me, Maria.
Everyone asks me to forget you.
How can I forget you?
Oh God.
There were so many questions left to ask.
Why did you leave me?
Sylvia doesn't want to mourn for long.
She is very worried about Ana, what do you say, Ernesto?
Tell me.
Who is calling me?
Ernesto.
I am Vijay Singh Rane! - What?
Who are you?
I have been connected with his house.
I have a connection with all of you.
Where have you come from?
Return to where you have come from!
I want my husband.
Your grandfather beheaded me..
..and presented my head to the governor!
Don't you remember it?
Whose head is it?
Kustuba Rane, your Excellency.
You are lying!
You want to deceive me, by showing me someone else's head.
Bring Kustuba within a week..
..or else you will be given death sentence.
The walls of these house, echoed with my screams.
The floor of the underground room turned red with my blood!
Who are you, Kustuba Rane?
No, Vijay Singh Rane!
Your grandfather mistakenly killed me!
I was innocent!
Stop this nonsense!
I was innocent!
Ernesto, where are you?
Mela Grinya, get up. Come to senses.
Go, go and sleep.
Who is there? Ernesto?
It is me, Maria. Leon.
You were in Rishbua.
I ran away.
The walls of the Portugal jail are not so strong, Donna Maria.
Hiding in the ship, I came to you.
If your mother would have been alive..
..what would she had said, seeing you like this?
You cannot live here.
The villagers will make propaganda.
Nothing remains hidden here!
Only for a few days.
I don't know what you want.
Freedom, Congress, Socialism.
What do all these mean?
Other then you, who else is there..
..who wants to free Goa from Portugal.
I can't see anyone.
People like you are living in their dream world.
And what do you think about your status.
Enough, I don't want to hear your speech.
But where will you stay here?
In the cellar, where your grandpa had locked up Rane.
He was your ancestor too.
Mela Grinya! Mela Grinya!
Take Leon to the cellar.
Why are you staring like that?
No, wait.
Mela Grinya, swear that you won't tell anyone!
Go.
Did you have food? - I am not hungry.
I felt very sad on hearing about Ernesto.
I had thought he would return again.
But he passed away this morning.
Mela Grinya, did you get married? - No.
Where is Ana? - She will be here.
How is she?
She is about to get engaged. - Engaged, with whom?
They have come from Lisboa.
Senor Rinato, Donna Amalia and Irasmo.
When did all this happen?
The engagement would have taken place..
..if all this wouldn't have happened with Senor Ernesto.
Good night.
About a month ago, our dear brother..
..Ernesto Suez-e-Suarez passed away.
Today we offer him this mass for the peace of his soul.
Death doesn't spare anyone.
It doesn't care whether you are young or old.
But the question is, how will we face death?
If we take the example of our lord Jesus Christ..
..if we take the inspiration of his last moments on the cross.
Then we will realise, that the reason for his mental..
..and physical pain was not anger.
But it was such a feeling of love..
..in which he had bonded the entire human race.
We are well versed with his last words.
My father, please forgive them.
They are innocent.
The principle of life is change.
All of you know, that the Indian forces..
..are standing at the border of Goa.
They can enter any time, and free Goa from Portuguese rule.
How should you face this reality..
..that's not my duty to tell you.
We should ponder over our priorities and opinions..
..and give it a concrete shape.
Francis! Francis, in the car!
What is your problem?
That girl's alliance has been fixed somewhere else.
But uncle, you know how much I love Ana.
Your parents have given me your responsibility.
As soon as the blockade is removed..
..you will go to Mumbai.
I don't like all this!
But Ana doesn't like Irasmo.
Talk to Donna Maria about me.
You haven't finished your studies..
..you don't have an identity, and want to get married.
Senor.
Senor, I have some work with you.
There is a flaw, will you fix it.
It goes like this.
"I am crazy about your voice."
"Like my hearts goes beating, my dear."
"Goddess of love.."
Ana. Ana, I know that you don't love me.
But if we stay together, our love can grow.
I will try to fulfill your every desire.
I will take good care of you.
Irasmo, what can I say?
I will become an MD.
Senor Lucio. - Yes.
What have you decided about the engagement?
Seems like.. - Mama.
We will soon decide on a date.
I will go and talk to her today.
Don't think that we are pressurizing you. - No.
We don't have any such intentions.
But.. you know how long we have been here.
We don't want to insult your mourning, but.. the date.
You called me. - No.
Here.
Whom do you take so much food for?
You eat so less.
Have you entrapped a new prey?
Don't interfere in matters that don't concern you!
O really!
As if I don't know where this food goes.
If you know then why do you ask?
And don't you dare tell anyone about this!
I don't care.
Go!
Mela Grinya, where are you going?
Ana, go back.
Where are you going? - Go back Ana.
Grinya.
Ana.
You have become so beautiful.
Come here.
Let me see in the light.
Ana.
Ana, come on.
Ana, you will come to meet me.
Tonight.
I told you not to follow me.
What will mama say?
Mama. Mama, they are asking about the engagement date.
I don't want to say anything about it right now.
Mama.
Mama, papa is dead. He is dead mama.
But we are alive, we are in this world.
Mama.
Mama, Ana has found out.
Sylvia, go out, I want to say something to Ana.
Mama, Ana has found out about Leon.
What's happening in this house?
Not even a small thing can be kept a secret.
I stopped her a lot, but she didn't listen.
She came after me.
Ana, you will not go in that cellar again. Understood?
Yes.
I know Leon used to like you.
That was 4 years ago.
You were a child then.
Now you have responsibilities.
Whatever we have decided, it is for you own good.
Leon shouldn't get a chance to understand anything else.
Isn't it, dear? Isn't it? - Yes.
Don't mention this to your mother.
Can I go now?
Mama, where are the laces to my shoes?
Mama.
You are going to Donna Maria's house, isn't it?
I am asking about the laces of my shoes.
And how can you wear the shoes without the laces.
That's what I am saying.
Why did you take the laces out of my shoes?
Strange, there is no dearth of good looking girls in this village..
..and whom did my son like? Aurora D'Sousa Suez-e-Suarez.
Mother. Mother.
I wonder what spell she has cast on you.
Don't I know the children of her family?
I have known them for 50 years.
They are very stubborn.
All of them.
It doesn't look good.
Too much spicy. - She is not used to it anymore.
Can I go? - Why?
My head is aching.
She is not fine since morning.
Excuse me, I am late.
A patient suddenly fell ill.
Did you get any latest news?
Yes, the advisors orders are that every person of Goa..
..will fight with the Indian Army till the last breath.
That's not possible.
Ana. - Leon.
Leon, how did you come here?
How did you come out of the jail?
I just escaped.
Ana, you.. You..
I thought about you a lot in the jail.
What will you do here, do you have a big group.
Do you have a big plan?
Ana. Ana, you are so beautiful.
Why don't you say something about yourself?
What is there to say?
When you escaped from the jail..
..how did you evade the police.
Weren't you afraid, I would have been very scared!
Then you came in a ship, right?
Did you come sneakily or with a fake passport?
Sneakily.
Ana, will you really marry that man?
Mama wants that.
And you?
What is your opinion?
Don't do this.. - What? What did I do?
You don't know how much I respect you.
Respect.
Why?
You're different from others.
Ana.
Don't do that! You're ruining everything.
Foolish girl, you are crying?
What's this? Ana!
Ana!
I don't want to eat anymore.
Can I go to the chapel? - Yes, dear.
Doctor Pereira, I think these are all rumours.
No, these are not rumours.
Explosives are being gathered near the bridge..
..and other government structures.
If India comes, the Portuguese government..
..will blow up everything here.
Everything will be set ablaze.
Are doctor Pereira's garlands ready for the Indian army?
Come, come Francis will have something? - No.
Isn't Aurora here?
She is in the chapel.
Francis, will you have a drink?
Oh dear..
Where are you? You don't even meet me?
Francis, I am right here.
You don't meet me.
Dear, I have so many problems.
You know, I have many problems.
What can I do?
Sorry.
My mother is afraid that her son..
I am not complaining about mother, she is not bad.
She has just grown old, that's all.
I don't want to say anything against mother.
She is very good by nature.
You are very nice too.
Exactly like mother.
Aruita, I like you very much.
Since I have..
Aruita...
I want to.. live with you.
Aurita, you are very nice.
Francis.
How will we reach Lisboan?
Mama, flights are still commencing, via Karachi.
But for how long?
We should do our bookings right away.
The Indian army will not come.
People like to blow things out of proportion.
Please excuse me.
Are you coming?
We will have three bottles of Feni. It will be great.
What do you say?
Aurita! Aurita! Aurita!
Where are you taking me?
I want to live here.
Is this news about the explosives, true? - Yes.
Then what will happen now?
What will happen, someday the Portuguese will have to leave.
If Ernesto would come and tell me to stop the mourning..
..then I would have arranged Ana's engagement.
Is Ernesto's agreement just another reason?
It is quite apparent that Ana doesn't love that boy.
What difference does her choice make?
Irasmo will soon become a doctor.
His family is good.
"I'll always stay in your heart smiling.."
"I will get locked in your hair.."
"I am crazy about your joys."
Who is singing?
My nephew Ruiz.
"I am crazy about your voice."
He loves your Ana a lot too.
Simon, you know, we get married within our caste.
Okay, I am leaving.
Ernesto is still pretending to be dead.
He might come in your presence.
Mela Grinya.
Senor. - No, I will not stop.
And according to me..
..you shouldn't be involved in these matter too.
It is not right for your mental peace.
"I will get locked in your hair.."
What happened? - Nothing.
"I am crazy about your joys."
Ana.
What is all this commotion?
Don't trouble her! It's too late. Go.
Go home.
Ernesto! Ernesto! Wherever you are, come to me.
Ernesto! Can you hear me?
Come to me!
I have come.
Who called me?
Ernesto, are you happy there?
I am Kustuba Rane.
Why have you come, who called you?
This house did!
You people have betrayed me!
Kustuba Rane was a dacoit.
Still I was loyal to my soil.
Why did you hand me over to the foreigners?
If grandpa wouldn't have caught you..
..then he would have been hanged.
It's a lie. That was only a threat.
Your grandfather wanted the reward on catching me.
The insignia that was sculpted on your door.
Grandpa was responsible for an innocent's murder.
He didn't even care for my lover.
What do I have to do with all this?
I want Ernesto.
There is a connection.
You people stole our names.
Erased our existence!
This house stands on shattered hopes.
No, my ancestors were good people.
Weren't your ancestors the officers of British?
They did injustice in the name of religion. - You did it or not?
And that too, without the permission.
Due to corrupt government policies..
..in the greed of power, they stripped humans of their humanity.
Tell me. Tell me. - I have committed a sin.
Accept your crime. - Yes.
I have committed a sin.
Then why did Pinto Padrav help the government?
So many people were killed.
There was a priest too.
You are responsible for their death too.
And Deepu Rane, what about him?
Didn't they give him money and his men higher posts..
..and made him quiet?
Why are all these people troubling me?
What is my fault?
Tell me why was I killed?
Go back, go back from where you came from!
Go back!
Mela Grinya, get up.
Come back.
Go to sleep.
Greetings, Donna Maria.
Greetings, father.
You didn't send the oil for the church's lamp, this year.
Ernesto used to do all that.
I am hearing some strange news, Donna Maria.
That you are calling Senor Ernesto's soul.
Is that true?
Excuse me, but I shouldn't say this at the time of mourning.
But if you interfere in the world of souls..
..then the matter may get out of your hand.
Death is in the hands of the Lord, Donna Maria.
It will be better if you stay away from all this.
Ana.
You were in the garden last night.
That man looked like Leon.
That was Leon, wasn't he?
That was Leon.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. - Yes.
How did he come back?
Did he escape? - Yes.
Where is he hiding? In our house!
There are only three useful boys here.
And all of them have fallen for you.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Ana.
Ana, what are you doing?
You are still lying in bed?
What had I told you yesterday?
You have to play the piano for Donna Amalia at 11 o' clock.
What will Irasmo think about your behaviour.
Mom, I am not feeling well. - Now don't give me excuses, Ana.
Go and wear your new frock and comb your hair.
Mama. Let it be, if she doesn't want to go.
Sylvia, why are you troubling the girl?
You are always after her.
I am after her? Everyone Is after me.
They have troubled me!
Sylvia.
Explain properly.
Why are you scolding her?
Mama, she doesn't listen to me at all.
And you have pampered her so much.
Because of you, they will remain unmarried.
They will become a nun someday.
You want Aurora to marry that drunkard Francis.
Mama, Irasmo has a nice family.
But you don't worry about this house and us at all.
Why don't you end this mourning, mama?
Ernesto doesn't agree.
Mama. Mama, how long will they wait?
Where will they go?
We are not sending Ana empty-handed.
Don't they want money for Irasmo's medical practice?
Have you decided on the date?
Sylvia's mother will let us know.
I have kept the clothes, take bath.
Who is playing this piano? - Ana, for the groom's family.
It would have been good if Donna Maria had taken a decision.
The situation is getting worse.
We should do the booking.
I am very scared.
There is no reason to be worried.
We are Portuguese citizens.
If the Indian army arrive, they will put us in jail.
Did you take my jewellery box?
No. Which box? - The big one.
It is not here anywhere.
It has been stolen.
We kept waiting here for Donna Maria's decision..
..and now this theft.
If we would have fixed the alliance in Lisboan..
..it would have been better.
I don't have peace in this house even for a minute.
Everyone is driving me mad!
They have come from so far!
They are the groom's family after all!
You are all thieves!
If I don't get the jewellery right now, then I will call the police!
I know ways to make people talk!
Mama, you have pampered the servants a lot..
..they don't care about anyone.
Stop shouting for a minute, and tell me what's wrong.
Donna Amalia's jewellery are missing.
These servants have started stealing too!
I have been working in this house for so long..
..no one ever called me a thief!
Then did the jewellery just disappear?
Why don't you ask Mela Grinya?
We don't even go in that room!
Madam, this is not right.
We will not come to work from tomorrow. - Then don't come.
And our guests, have been waiting for so long..
..and you don't given answer.
And now their jewellery have disappeared.
It's so shameful.
What will happen to Ana now?
Mama. It is better that you call the police.
Police? Police will not come into this house.
Then thrash each one, they will tell where the jewellery are.
Whatever I have to do, I will ask Ernesto and do.
I will go mad!
Mama, what has happened to you?
Why and for what are you avenging us?
This is not justice.
You don't get justice.
Justice was invented by man for his own needs.
Animals don't need it.
And crying will not get you anything.
There is only one way to get the jewellery back.
Light candles on the cross outside the house.
Call the villagers and ask them to pray.
Whenever there is a robbery in our village..
..by doing this, we always get back the things.
Inform father Secquiera. Go.
What happened?
I know, one of you have stolen the jewellery.
You have not seen the theft.
But you know who the thief is.
I don't want to know who the thief is.
The jewellery should reach its place.
That's the only way to get rid of defame.
Come on, now let's pray.
Mela Grinya! Mela Grinya!
What is it? - Didn't Ana come? - No.
Why? - She doesn't want to meet you!
Why not? - Because she doesn't love you.
How do you know that? - I know.
Does she love someone else?
I won't say it. What will you do?
Shall I show you?
Leave me.
What are you doing?
Till now you were chanting Ana's name.
You forgot her so soon?
When I see you I don't know what happens to me.
Ana, I will take you away from here.
Where will we go?
What if the police come after us?
I don't care about the police.
Ana, you will come with me, won't you?
I am scared.
You are a dog.
Grandma!
Donna Amalia's jewellery has been found. - Really.
Yes, I saw it. - Liar, I saw it first.
I saw it first.
Go and sleep.
Good night. - Good night.
Greetings.
Is Donna Maria Suez-e-Suarez at home?
Tell her captain Rebeiro has come.
Mama, captain Rebeiro has come to meet you.
Call him in.
Come.
Donna Maria.
Greetings.
Take a seat.
Tell me, captain, why have you come here?
Forgive me, I am untimely troubling you.
I have a small request.
Tell me. Mela Grinya, bring something for him.
Your nephew, Leon Gonzales has fled from the Lisboan jail.
Oh God!
He have got the information that maybe he has returned to Goa.
Here? Since when?
Since 6-8 weeks.
Donna Maria, I know your family has always..
..served the Portuguese government.
And have always been loyal.
I am sure you will inform us about a rebel if you know.
I didn't hear anything.
Maybe the servants might know something.
Will you please call them?
And all the family members along with them.
Ana. - Yes.
Dear, call all the members of the family.
Leon! Leon!
Leon, hurry up!
A Portuguese officer has come looking for you.
Hurry up!
We have got the information, that Leon Gonzales..
..has fled from Lisboan and come here.
Maybe he is hiding in this house.
I would like to ask, has anyone one of you seen him..
..or heard anything about him?
No. We didn't see him.
No, we don't know anything.
Captain Rebiero suspects that Leonbob is hiding somewhere here.
Have anyone of you seen him, or heard anything?
No, we have not seen anything.
Swear on it.
We swear that we have not seen anyone.
Donna Maria, I don't want to trouble you in anyway.
But I will have to search this house.
Will you give us the permission?
Of course, of course! Mela Grinya.
Go along with captain.
Open this.
Donna Maria, thank you very much.
I am sorry for the trouble.
If you find out anything about him..
..then quickly inform my men.
If he is found anywhere outside this house..
..then it will be worse for him.
Good bye.
Son, I can't keep you here anymore.
Find some other place.
Donna Maria, they won't come here again.
And there is no other safer place than this house for me in Goa.
No, son, if you are caught again.
Then what might they do with you.
We will be in trouble too.
Donna Maria, it will take me only 2-3 days..
..to inform my companions.
I don't know that.
Please..
Next time when Mela Grinya comes here..
..this room should be empty.
I had to throw poor Leon out of the house.
But what else could I have done.
If Ernesto would have been there..
..he would have handled the situation.
But where has he gone?
I don't know why those memories haunt me..
..about which I don't know anything.
Mela Grinya, open the window.
Let some air come in.
Mama, the window is open.
It is open?
Then close it.
Why is it so hot?
'It is usually not so hot these days..'
'..or maybe I am not used to it.'
'It is not much hot in Macau.'
'Why have you been sent in this jungle, from Macaw?'
'We have to go where I am ordered to.'
'It is not my job to question.'
'Congratulations to the newly wed couples.'
'Thank you.'
'Senor Souza Suarez, if you don't mind..'
'..I would like to offer a gift to your bride.'
'This coat is from China.'
'I brought it along from Macau.'
'It has the symbols of 4 elements.'
'Water, earth, fire and wind.'
'May all four of them always protect you!'
'Thank you very much.'
'May you be always happy in your married life!'
'I can say about this night is that you will never forget this night.'
Why did he say that?
Now I remembered.
That night, the Portuguese army killed Deepu Rane's companions.
They hanged their heads from the trees like fruits.
Mela Grinya, call Sylvia.
Yes, mama. - Sit.
Dear, it will be better if we hold Ana's engagement after 2 weeks.
Mama.
Enough.
Again you are crying?
And dear, don't forget to send a coconut to the Mangeshi temple.
On this auspicious occasion of the engagement..
..I bless this young couple.
Both belong to a high class family.
Two families whose traditions are still intact.
They have got wealth, respect and honour as heritage..
..and now with the Lord's blessing..
..their future will be bright too.
You've snatched the most beautiful girl of our village.
The most beautiful.
If I hear that you are not behaving properly with her..
..then I will cross the sea and come there..
..and break your nose, understood?
I will not let that happen.
Come.
Hello.
Come.
Come on.
Come.
Have it.
Come.
Wait a minute.
But there is something missing, I don't know why.
It is not that bad, try some wine with it.
Please, take some more.
I have taken care of my daughter with a lot of affection.
She shouldn't face any trouble. - No, no.
Remember what I said.
Congratulations, senor Rinato. - Thank you.
You are lucky, you are going to Lisboan from here.
Just watch, we are scapegoats.
Then why don't you get a ticket to Lisboan too.
Come, did you have your food properly? - Yes.
Come, come. Have some more.
It is said that, they are taking our St. Francis to Portugal.
Why won't they?
He is the saviour of Goa, do you know what will happen?
Entire Goa will stand up against it.
Let then try to even move him.
Senor Rinato, don't turn your back to the sentiments of Goa.
Aurora.
Come here, Aurora. - Yes.
You have worn such a beautiful frock.
Thank you.
Francis left you alone?
Stop chasing him around!
Donna Louisa, you have misunderstood something.
I don't love Francis.
Don't lie.
Aurita. Aurita.
Mama, have you seen Aurita? - No!
Sister, sister. Come and dance with me. Come, come on.
You go, I can't come.
Go.
You look exactly like Aurita.
Exactly like Aurita.
Please come with me and dance.
Come, you are very beautiful.
Like Aurita and my mother.
What happpened?
Move, move, move.
Why have you stopped?
Play, dance, dance.
Please dance, come on.
Play it.
Dance, play it.
She'll be back in a while. She'll be back.
All of you, please go out for a while.
Come on, come on.
There is nothing to worry about, come on.
"O my beloved."
"O my beloved where are you hiding?"
"You are the heartbeat of my heart, my beloved."
"My life."
"You are the heartbeat of my heart, my beloved."
"My life." - Doctor, what's happened?
Everything is fine, there is nothing to worry about.
Irasmo, just a minute.
Do they teach you all this in medical colleges these days?
I didn't get you.
Now get them married soon.
Why? - But, what's the matter?
"O my beloved where are you hiding?"
Your son is absolutely irresponsible.
What have you taught him?
You are accusing us?
How can you say that?
Your daughter is ill-mannered, arrogant..
..she didn't even let our Irasmo touch her!
You are accusing my daughter?
She doesn't even step out of the house alone!
The place where you live, in Europe..
..everyone there are shameless and flirts!
Your son has done it!
I can't take it anymore. Screaming..
I don't want to stay here.
"I search for you like a butterfly, for your scent."
"Where are you hiding, tell me my beloved."
"Come and love me."
"Take me in your arms."
"I think of you, keep crying, come to me."
"Stay in my heart, my beloved."
"Come and love me."
"Take me in your arms."
"Come and love me."
"Take me in your arms."
Riberto.
"Go, go Ana. Leave me and go away."
"Go, go Ana. Break my heart and leave."
"Ruin me, leave me crying."
"By ruining my peace, go and make him comfortable."
"Go, go Ana. Leave me and go away."
"Go, go Ana. Break my heart and leave."
"Light up his life by spreading darkness in my life."
"Settle his house, and create my tomb."
How many days has it been?
8-9 weeks.
Who is responsible?
Ana is not saying anything.
Donna Maria, I know what you are going through right now.
Believe me, I care about your family's Honour..
..as much as you do.
My nephew, you know..
How much he loves Ana.
Will you accept his alliance?
Ruiz. - Yes.
Maybe it is that idiot's fault.
What will the villagers say?
I will convince them.
You are from a different caste.
What will we do now?
We won't be able to show our face to anyone!
In this village, people respect us!
Not from today, but from 25 generations.
You ruined the entire family's honour.
We are ruined.
We are ruined!
I feel like..
I never raised my hand on you till now.
I feel like giving you a sound thrashing!
Will it be a lesser crime if you stay quiet?
Tell me! Tell me, who he is?
For whom you defamed the entire family.
Tell me!
Stop it!
What is the use now?
What had to happen has happened!
Go from here. Go.
Dear, what have you done!
I know you don't like Irasmo.
Do you love Ruiz Pereira?
Leon, it's him, isn't he?
Where is he?
Where?
I don't know!
Irasmo.
Don't be upset needlessly.
There is no scarcity of good girls in the world.
Good that you didn't marry Ana.
The wretched..
Ernesto! Ernesto, this is Maria calling you.
Ernesto! This is Maria calling you.
What happened?
You don't even move.
I don't know what has happened to me.
I can't do it.
Then how will Ernesto come?
Good that we found out before marriage if they had found out
After the marriage.. ..we would have been defamed.
Yes. Who is the father? - Who knows..
Mind your business. You have got nothing to do with these things.
She doesn't listen, keeps flirting around with everyone.
Why are you so stubborn?
How many times will I ask you?
Don't you understand anything?
Did your parents hand me your responsibility for this?
So that you misbehave like this?
And what are these long hairs?
Are you a girl?
Why don't you cut your hairs?
I have told you a thousand times, my love was true.
I used to worship that girl.
And now you.. What have I done?
I haven't done anything!
These are just excuses.
You are not going to tell me the truth.
But you will not lie in the holy house of the Lord.
Come on.
Father.
How are you, Ruiz?
Ana's engagement broke off because of him.
This scoundrel ruined that poor girl!
Is that true, Ruiz?
Father, I swear I didn't even touch Ana's finger.
My love was pure.
Then whose child is she carrying?
It's not mine.
I swear on Lord, it is not mine. - He is lying.
Who was it, Ruiz, tell me who was it?
It was not me.
It must be someone else.
I didn't do anything to Ana.
If not Ana, then whom?
Son. If you want me to believe you..
..then tell me, have you ever known any woman?
No, I have never even stared at Ana.
Tell me the truth Ruiz, have you known any woman?
Tell us! - Mela Grinya.
Mela Grinya. I am responsible for that.
If she is in the same condition, then will you marry her?
Why will I, she is a servant?
What nonsense are you talking, father!
You have defamed me.
How will I face Donna Maria?
Ana.
I am leaving, Ana.
We might never meet again.
Good bye.
Ana.
You are still the sweetest girl for me.
I will never forget you.
Keep it.
Mama.
We have decided, we will not stay in this house anymore!
What can I say?
What can you say!
You have ruined us!
Every servant in the house knew that Leon was in the house..
..only we were not informed!
Where is Leon now?
The day captain Ribeiro had come.
I sent him away that night itself.
If I had known about Leon, I would have sent him to the jail!
He is a scoundrel! And a useless man!
He shouldn't set foot in this house!
What are you doing here?
Go to your room!
No matter what you say about Leon..
..but he is always firm on his decisions.
Whatever he does he does it with complete loyalty.
But what about Ana?
Why don't we get her married to doctor Pereira's nephew?
Even if that boy would be willing..
..I would have never given him my granddaughter.
Mama, you have taught us so much.
Tradition, rites and rituals, our history.
What have we got from all that, mama?
Shame, that we can't even hide anywhere.
Shame, it is a strange word.
If a man tarnishes a poor girls image..
..then for him it is just an incident.
But if someone does it to a rich girl..
..then her entire family is filled with shame.
Mama, we don't want to hear all that!
I am leaving this house along with my wife and children!
I can't tolerate the suffocation here.
Where will you go?
Anywhere! Somewhere, where no one would recognize us!
I will find some work.
All your life you didn't do any work, what will you do now?
Is it my fault, or yours?
No one ever thought I was capable for anything!
You are not capable of anything!
Or else we would have left this village long back.
What do you want?
What could I have done?
Did you ever let me do any work?
I will not go along with you.
Why not?
Now that Francis's mother has rejected, what's the big deal!
There are many more boys.
I will not get married.
I want to serve the Lord.
You want to become a nun?
Is that why I gave birth to you?
I haven't received any happiness here.
Did you see, mama?
The entire house is ruined because of you!
Mela Grinya, find out where Leon is.
Mama, he is not in the village.
Come on, Ana.
I am scared.
Don't be scared, Ana, everything will be fine.
Come on, we don't have time. Come.
Bhaskarni! Bhaskarni! Bhaskarni! Bhaskarni!
Did you hear, the people are saying that the Portuguese..
..have runaway. Everyone have gathered at the church.
The Indian army has surrounded from all sides.
Aurora! Aurora, take care of the children!
And Ana! Ana. Where is Ana? - Ana?
Mama! Mama!
Go, go and lock the door.
Mama! Mama! Mama, Ana has run away!
What will happen now, Mama?
How do you know? - She has left this letter! - Read it.
I am going, you will be very angry with me now..
..but later you will realise that what I have done is right.
Don't worry about me, I am listening to my heart..
..otherwise all my life I will be unhappy.
Shall we call the police?
What Ana has done is right. - No.
Now she is not in danger.
It was fine if anyone would have done it..
..in the Suez-e-Suarez family.
Ernesto himself didn't spare any servant of the five villages.
But people like us don't do such things.
Come, the bus has arrived.
Go to Mumbai and concentrate on your studies..
..and less on girls.
Francis, come in. Why are you looking there?
I had told you, they are all useless.
In search of happiness and to forget the past..
..everyone left from here.
They don't know that victory lies after the defeat.
They try to search the treasure very keenly..
And in the end they realize
..that the treasure was in that search.
I cannot call Ernesto now.
What for shall I call him?
Did you see?
Your husband is present in all the four elements.
Water, earth, fire and water.
He will protect you at all four places.
Water, earth, fire and water.
That's what remains.
We have nobody else.
The ruler of the world, whose ruler ship is everlasting..
..I request to you ruler of the world..
..free this house of the evil spirits.
Free this house from their sorcery, curses and deceit.
I pray to Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen!
Ana's letter from Lisboan.
Ana had a son.
Says that he took after Leon.
She has named him Ernesto.
Mela Grinya, I can't understand.
Why did you steal Donna Amalia's jewellery?
Do you remember?
Where is Donna Maria? - She passed away.
When? - It has been many days.
She was buried in this garden, right? - Why?
No, just like that.
So this house is completely empty now, no one lives here.
A rich man had come from Delhi.
He thought of building a hotel.
So a hotel will be constructed here now?
Syliva.. She sold the house.
Then Ana and Leon bought the house back.
They paid a lot of money.
They had come from Portugal.
From Portugal?
And Mela Grinya?
Where is Mela Grinya?
She went to a foreign land.
An old man had come, she married him.
And the child, she had a child, right?
Busteau? He has grown up now. He is not here.
Thank you.
'Why did I come back?'
'For this manor?'
'To find out about the Suez-e-Suarez family, Donna Maria, Ana?'
'Maybe.'
'Or is there something else that that brought me here?'
'Donna Maria is now present in all the 4 elements.'
'And Ana? Ana is in Lisboan along with Leon.'
'Leon, who was a social worker and a revolutionary..'
'How did he leave the country and reach Lisboan?'
'People are strange.'
'And now they want to return to the village.'
'So that they connect their past with the future.'
'Did I come back in search of Mela Grinya?'
'Beautiful, silent Mela Grinya.'
'She was bought up like a commodity.'
'Which anyone can use as they want.'
'Yes, maybe it's her memory that brought me here.'
'At that time her existence didn't mean anything for me.
'Maybe not even now.'
'Mela Grinya, and her son.'
'My son, Busteau.'
'They became common people and transformed from feelings to reality.'
'How long can you feel that you have committed a crime?'
'They grow old too, and stop troubling us.'
'And the only thing left is, is a sweet peaceful memory.'
