00:00 look at the family the miraculous fishing of the boys
00:03 and the fish that they caught with this that you tell me a meal in a day
00:14 look at the boys from what time to here
00:22 and come here to ask a question they put a fine for coming to fish where they put a fine
00:33 when you can go all over the coast of the bay with all the people know that
01:01 there is no fishing but what we do
01:06 to eat is to eat and even if it is there are times there are times you take a big one and well, other things,
01:27 but normally it is for food to sustain, I have a woman a woman two children with which I maintain it,
01:44 I work with 2,000 pesos a month, what do I get? 2,100 pesos a month, I don't get anything,
02:01 if only the kid's ass is worth almost 2,000 pesos, the same thing, the fishing is bad,
02:16 the fishing in these times is the bait that the milk here takes out the bait with this fish
02:34 and what time are you here? from 6 in the morning. And what fish do you give? two. look look. from 6 in the morning. look family. it's the truth.
03:03 the truth of the fishermen.
03:05 all that smells like money. before here in Cuba, they were in the sports house, they took it away.
03:11 you were with 5 pesos, you bought with 5 pesos 200 hooks, you bought a thousand of nails.
03:17 and now you have to leave half the salary to buy a cart of nails.
03:21 how much do the hooks cost? 10, 15, 20 pesos. and the lead? 10 pesos.
03:28 look, how they get the things to fish, it's not just to come fishing because you can't come fishing for nothing, by magic. the lead is worth 25, 30 pesos.
03:57 how many times do you do it? two. I do it. how many times? 110. and this one is worth 90 pesos.
04:07 90 pesos. this is the buoy. this is worth 110, this is worth 90 pesos. look, he caught another one there. who? him.
04:16 and the nails, how much do they cost? 400 pesos up.
04:28 how do you say? that the only country in the world that does not have a store for us poor people, to buy hooks, you have to bring them out there.
04:51 all that you have sent here, you have sent it all, they will bring it to you.
04:59 all that I have there, look, with a cart, a cigar, this buoy, luckily my brother sent it to me.
05:13 if not, they give you a tape for the ribs here, they take out a flip-flop.
05:21 you know how much all this is worth? that they are not mine.
05:36 look at this one, this is the man. how much? 400,000 pesos.
05:46 look family, it is the truth that the fishermen speak, the fishermen do not lie.
05:53 when they catch a big fish, what do they do? if I don't have food, if I don't have food, if I don't have food, for my house.
06:03 and the fish, how are they? the big ones?
06:10 when they appear, yes.
06:15 I'm going to tell you how to say big, they are like that, they are beautiful, they are like that.
06:25 two pounds, three pounds? no, less.
06:33 when you have 50 people here, you kill one alone, and you take 3 or 4 of those, and you say, fuck.
06:46 sometimes I see myself crying, I say, give me one to eat in the cow, and they tell me, take it.
06:51 because we are friends, look at the same, I didn't catch anything, the man in the corner gave it to me.
06:56 to eat it, the fish is bad.
06:59 the man in the corner gave it to me, to eat it.
07:03 what size was it? and how much did it cost?
07:11 I caught it, but the two mojarras that I bought, I got 50 pesos for the mojarras that I bought.
07:19 to fish in the background, two packs I caught.
07:23 look at this, two packs.
07:26 that day, it was the reality of the fishermen.
07:30 the next day I came and nothing.
07:32 are you shore fishermen?
07:34 shore, shore, shore.
07:37 look, look, look, similar, similar.
07:41 similar, similar.
07:43 if you want one to talk bad about this or anything.
07:45 but here we are one, for the fish, there is no God to look for to eat, you have to come here.
07:52 and when you leave the inspector from time to time, he comes up and tells you, take it.
07:57 and we go to Aragon, and we go to Chacon, do you remember?
08:01 the fishermen confiscate you.
08:05 they take everything away, the fat man.
08:07 and then you see them, you eat them.
08:09 you see them eating them.
08:11 you know what it is to confiscate the fish after you have been here for so many hours?
08:15 the bar can be passed through the boat.
08:18 if you have four people on board in the boat, four, two police and two on board, I say it like that.
08:24 I worked with this man there.
08:26 and they don't let you pass the bar?
08:28 no, they don't let you pass.
08:30 now take that away, and pass the bar.
08:32 here we are here, giving some alcohol, as I say.
08:36 waiting to hear the sound of the water to go up running.
08:40 to catch the water when it appears.
08:42 because you can't go on the boat?
08:44 we can't go on the boat.
08:46 if not, we would have been at home for years.
08:48 we can't pass the bar on the boat.
08:50 so those who get a fine are those who are there.
08:52 and you who are here, why do you get a fine?
08:54 why do you get a fine?
08:56 because they come across.
08:58 because they come across.
09:00 on a bad day.
09:02 they couldn't find you anywhere, they come up to you.
09:04 and the other thing is that they have two on board.
09:10 they don't let you pass the bar.
09:12 they say that the bars are forceful weapons.
09:16 to kidnap the boat.
09:18 you think I'm going to sacrifice 50,000 pesos, or 30,000 pesos, 40,000 pesos, I don't know how much each bar is worth.
09:24 to kidnap you with a bar over your head.
09:26 to take the boat.
09:28 to take me here?
09:30 the boat to emigrate.
09:32 that's why they don't let us pass the bar.
09:34 and this is a forceful weapon?
09:36 this is forceful, this is going to drive you crazy.
09:38 this is worth, this is worth, easy, easy, here.
09:40 30,000 pesos.
09:42 30,000 pesos.
09:44 40,000.
09:46 this is worth 150 pesos.
09:48 mine, mine, only the road cost me 150 pesos.
09:50 look, how many meters is this?
09:52 this is worth 25,000 pesos.
09:54 200 meters.
09:56 how much is it?
09:58 8 pesos.
10:00 when foreigners come to buy things here in Cuba.
10:02 they give you one of these.
10:04 they buy this fake one.
10:06 they say, take this one.
10:08 and when they come to give it to you.
10:10 they say, the Cuban police.
10:12 they say, yes, it's a fake.
10:14 that we are giving it away.
10:16 if they come to give it away.
10:18 it's not that you want it or anything.
10:20 because no one sees it.
10:22 you bring it for fishing.
10:24 and they give it to you.
10:26 then the police come.
10:28 for all the units here.
10:30 to take you up there.
10:32 why?
10:34 they are giving it away.
10:36 you didn't ask for anything.
10:38 you went up there.
10:40 they are giving it away.
10:42 and that's what happens.
10:44 it's like what happened to my friend.
10:46 three Spanish.
10:48 he went out with 100 euros.
10:50 to buy four soft drinks.
10:52 one for each of them.
10:54 and one for him.
10:56 he left his backpack with a bag.
10:58 he bought the four soft drinks.
11:00 he brought his bag.
11:02 and he brought two more.
11:04 he turned around, took his bag.
11:06 and he went there.
11:08 he said, come, come, come.
11:10 he took his soft drinks.
11:12 and he took his bag.
11:14 he said, no, that's not mine.
11:16 he said, no, to make it up.
11:18 you lost it.
11:20 and he gave it to another Spanish.
11:22 because they said in Cuba,
11:24 Cubans are thieves.
11:26 Cubans are thieves.
11:28 they give you money.
11:30 they go to the side and steal your money.
11:32 it's a lie.
11:34 the Cuban is the cleanest person in the world.
11:36 the cleanest in the world.
11:38 those who come here.
11:40 they are always on the side.
11:42 they have made us some "arrapatrosos".
11:44 they don't bring the Cuban.
11:46 they don't bring the tourist
11:48 to live with the Cuban.
11:50 the Cuban is on the side.
11:52 in the house,
11:54 the house was Venezuelan.
11:56 there was no money.
11:58 they threw it away.
12:00 the house was living in the house.
12:02 look at the family.
12:04 that's the truth of the fishermen.
12:06 the fishermen.
12:08 (upbeat music)
