00:00I'm very sad because my parents punished me.
00:03What hurts me the most is that I won't be able to see you anymore.
00:07I hope you have patience and that you can wait for me.
00:11I brought you something to eat.
00:14Thank you, Milita.
00:15I'm not sad. I don't like seeing you like this.
00:20Don't listen to me.
00:21My dad hit you really hard, didn't he?
00:26It's not the blows that hurt me. It's other things, Milita.
00:29I don't want to grow up.
00:32So I don't have problems with my dad.
00:35I always want to be a little girl.
00:38That's not possible.
00:39Sooner or later you'll grow up.
00:42Then I won't have a boyfriend.
00:44Why don't they punish me like they punished you?
00:47Wouldn't you like to get married and have kids?
00:50Yes.
00:51Yes, I would like that.
00:53But when I become a mom, I won't punish my kids.
00:57I love you so much, Milita.
01:00I don't want you to cry.
01:03I love you so much.
01:05I love you too, Milita.
01:09I really love you, Lupita.
01:11I love you too.
01:12I don't spend much time with you.
01:14I never want to leave your side.
01:16I also wanted to be with you every day.
01:18But you see how my parents are.
01:20Yes, I know.
01:21And because I love you, I'm not going to pressure you
01:23so that they don't let you have a boyfriend.
01:26I'm going to support you.
01:27Because I want us to last a long time.
01:29A long time.
01:30Erick, you're a sweetheart.
01:32Guadalupe!
01:35Now she's really in love with Lupita.
01:37But seriously.
01:38Besides the fact that the mom knew she was going to leave Pintana,
01:41now they caught her kissing her boyfriend.
01:44This is double bad luck.
01:47Ma'am, please let me explain.
01:49I don't have to listen to you.
01:51Let's go.
01:52But mom, we haven't done anything wrong.
01:53Do you think it's okay for me to send you to school
01:55and you come to kiss this young man who knows where?
01:59Mom!
02:00Shut up!
02:01We'll talk at home.
02:02And you, little boy,
02:03if you don't want to hurt my daughter anymore,
02:05don't look for her anymore.
02:06Let's go.
02:16Mom, I swear.
02:18Things happened as I told you.
02:19I got off for a moment and they closed the school door.
02:23And the easiest thing for you was to go out with a boy
02:25instead of coming back home.
02:28I'm sorry, but I didn't think about it.
02:30That's the problem with all young girls your age.
02:33They don't think.
02:34I'm sure it won't happen again.
02:36No, of course not.
02:37Because I'm going to be more aware of you.
02:40It's incredible that they can't be trusted.
02:43You were asked if you had a boyfriend and you said no.
02:47And what would you have done if I told you the truth?
02:50It would have been worse for me, Mom.
02:53Yes, of course.
02:54Like your father and I are ogres.
02:57It's just that no one is saying that they are bad.
03:00It's just that you are very strict.
03:02And I don't know how to tell you the things that happen to me.
03:07It's a very unfair reproach, Lupita.
03:10You know that your father and I only want to make you
03:13and your sisters good ladies.
03:16But it's just that they get angry for everything.
03:21How are we not going to get angry?
03:23You've missed three classes.
03:26I'm going to believe that you got distracted and they closed the door on you.
03:29And what about the other times, Lupita?
03:32Why did they go?
03:34Those two times you also went with that boy?
03:39Now it turns out that the calls I received were true.
03:42Don't say anything.
03:43You're leaving Pinta with your boyfriend.
03:45I'm sorry, Mom.
03:47You're going to regret it when your dad gets here.
03:50But Mom...
03:51Nothing!
03:52And as long as he gets here, he can't leave your room.
03:54You're punished.
04:01Vanessa, come here.
04:03Now you've gone too far.
04:05I don't understand why you're telling me this.
04:06Don't pretend.
04:07You were the one who called Lupita's mother to tell her that he had left Pinta.
04:13How did it go, Daddy?
04:14Good, daughter.
04:15And you?
04:16Very good.
04:17Today they gave me another star.
04:19But this one is red.
04:21Very good.
04:22And Lupita?
04:23I have punished her in the bedroom.
04:26Why?
04:28We need to talk.
04:29We have a serious problem with our daughter.
04:35I've never talked to Lupita's family.
04:36Especially not to make anonymous calls.
04:39Don't pretend.
04:40You were the one who called her mother.
04:41I'm not the one they attack from behind.
04:43I didn't do it.
04:44Look, Vane.
04:45You've never loved her.
04:46And we both know why.
04:48Eric, I'm not going to deny that you kick my ass.
04:50I would be the happiest to be your girlfriend.
04:52But never.
04:53I would never win you over.
04:55If you're going to be mine, it's going to be for good.
04:57No way.
04:59If it wasn't you, then who?
05:01Well, I don't know.
05:02But obviously someone hates you more than I do.
05:05I can't believe my oldest daughter is taking such bad steps.
05:09What kind of example are you giving to your sisters?
05:12I'm sorry, Dad.
05:13You've gone too far.
05:15And an apology is not enough.
05:18How many beatings do you deserve for the mistake you made?
05:23Three.
05:24Very good.
05:26You are punished for a month.
05:29And I'm going to make you pay for it.
05:31You are punished for a month.
05:35There are no exits anywhere.
05:37There's no television.
05:39There's no telephone.
05:40And no internet either.
05:52I think my dad's gone too far.
05:56He is the head of this house.
05:59And he's in charge of your education.
06:01The thing is, no one understands me, Mom.
06:06You're right.
06:07We don't understand your bad behavior.
06:29Eric.
06:30I'm very sad because my parents punished me.
06:34What hurts me the most is that I won't be able to see you anymore.
06:38I hope you have patience and can wait for me.
06:42I brought you something to eat.
06:45Thank you, honey.
06:46I'm not sad.
06:48I don't like to see you like this.
06:51Don't listen to me.
06:52My dad hit you really hard.
06:54It's not the blows that hurt me.
06:56It's other things, honey.
06:58I don't want to be big.
07:00So I don't have problems with my dad.
07:03I always want to be small.
07:06That's not possible.
07:08Sooner or later you'll grow up.
07:11Then I'm not going to have a boyfriend.
07:13Why don't I get married like you?
07:16Don't you like me?
07:19I don't like you.
07:22Wouldn't you like to get married and have children?
07:25Yes.
07:26Yes, I would.
07:28But when I'm a mom, I won't punish my kids.
07:32I love you very much, sister.
07:34I don't want you to cry.
07:37I love you very much.
07:39I love you too, sister.
07:52Time's up.
07:54Pass your exam forward.
08:03Oh, this time I'm not going to get a good grade on the exam.
08:07I didn't answer a lot of questions.
08:13Girl, you have to do me a favor.
08:15Give this letter to Eric.
08:17Why don't you give it to him?
08:19What happened? I don't want to risk it anymore.
08:21My parents have me super punished.
08:23In this letter I explain everything to Eric.
08:25I'm sure he'll understand.
08:27Okay, I'll give it to him.
08:29But you should listen to me and rebel against your parents.
08:36I'm tired of you messing with me.
08:38What are you talking about?
08:39Don't pretend.
08:40You've been calling my house, but this isn't going to stay that way.
08:43You can do whatever you want, but I swear I've never talked to your mom.
08:46And I have your phone.
08:48I don't know what you're talking about, but you're the only one who hates me.
08:51You don't like me, and that's true.
08:53But I've never called your house, whether you believe me or not.
08:56Since I'm tired of this situation,
08:58now I'm the one who's going to find out who's been making these calls.
09:05Of course it was Vanessa who knocked you out.
09:07Who else?
09:08Obviously, I wasn't going to tell you the truth so you wouldn't get into trouble.
09:11I don't know.
09:12I saw her so convinced when she denied it.
09:14Don't be fooled.
09:17The bad thing is that I can't see Eric anymore.
09:19Because you're stupid.
09:20You should listen to us and blackmail your parents.
09:23I tried, but they didn't listen to me.
09:26Well, you have to do thicker things to get away with yours.
09:29The best way to control your parents is blackmail.
09:35There's Eric.
09:36Please, Carla, give him the letter.
09:38It's just that my mom is...
09:40Who, Mom?
09:41Who called?
09:42I don't know.
09:43He never told me his name.
09:44But I can assure you that it's a colleague.
09:47Well, you were lied to.
09:51I'm going to believe you because it's not worth listening to an anonymous call.
09:55But there's you where I find out that you're doing something wrong.
09:58Because then we're going to give you an exemplary punishment.
10:03And you know it's not a threat.
10:07Yes, Mom.
10:15Hello?
10:16Are you Lupita's mother?
10:18Yes, who is this?
10:19And do you know where your daughter is?
10:22What?
10:23Who is this?
10:24If I were you, I would take better care of your daughter.
10:27Because today she left Pintas.
10:31No, that can't be true.
10:35No, no, no.
10:36Lupita wouldn't be able to.
10:38Or would she?
10:39No, no, no.
10:40Lupita wouldn't be able to.
10:42Or would she?
10:45Eric, I have to go.
10:46I have to be at the door so I don't get in trouble.
10:49No, Lupita, don't leave me.
10:51I missed you. Thank you for going with me.
10:53What else do you want, Eric?
10:54Just five more minutes, okay?
10:56I can't.
10:57Once my mom gets here, she's going to catch us.
10:59I was super nervous that they were going to find me.
11:03I don't understand why you're so afraid of your bosses.
11:05It's just that my parents are very strict.
11:07Especially my dad.
11:08I have to go.
11:09Okay, I'll let you go.
11:10But only if you give me another kiss.
11:17Did you see how I kissed Eric?
11:19I can't stand that dead fly.
11:21But things aren't going to stay that way.
11:23Eric likes me and he's going to be mine.
11:27No, Lupita.
11:29How did it go, my love?
11:30Don't be mean.
11:31Tell us in detail what you did with Eric.
11:34The walk we took was great.
11:36Eric is so sweet and wonderful.
11:39It must be super exciting to go out with the guy you like.
11:42And did you kiss?
11:44Obviously.
11:47What's wrong with you?
11:49Nothing, sweetie.
11:50Nothing?
11:52My mom is here to pick us up.
11:53Yes, I'm coming.
11:55See you later.
12:00How did it go?
12:01The same as a star.
12:03Very good, Melita.
12:05What about you, sweetie?
12:06I got 10 in my homework.
12:08Congratulations, my love.
12:09What about you, Lupita?
12:10Thank you, Mom.
12:11Okay, Mom.
12:13What class did you have today?
12:15Well, the usual classes.
12:19Yes, but which ones?
12:21Oh, Mom, you never ask me that.
12:23Why now?
12:25Because I'm interested in everything about you.
12:27I've always cared about you.
12:29I had Spanish, Math, English.
12:32Are you happy?
12:33Yes.
12:42The same as a star.
12:44How many times do I have to tell you
12:46not to talk while eating?
12:49The girl didn't mean to interrupt, my love.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:53Okay, but don't talk while we eat again, please.
12:57Yes, Daddy, I'm sorry.
13:04Have a good time in the office, Dad.
13:08We'll wait for you for dinner, my love.
13:10I'll call you when I get here.
13:19Can I watch TV?
13:20And I'll talk on the phone.
13:21Yes, but don't take too long.
13:23Don't take too long, girls.
13:24Don't take too long because you have to do the homework.
13:26I'm going to the Internet.
13:27No, no, no.
13:28You'll do it later.
13:29Now I have to talk to you.
13:30Let's go to your room.
13:34Lupita.
13:51I waited for your father to leave
13:53because I don't want any scandals or problems.
13:57What did I do? I don't understand.
13:59Answer me the truth, Lupita.
14:01Did you go to Pinta?
14:02What?
14:03Where did you get that from?
14:05I asked you a question.
14:07Answer me.
14:08Did you miss class and you went somewhere else?
14:11No, Mom.
14:12I didn't go to Pinta.
14:14A young lady called me on the phone
14:16to tell me that you had missed class.
14:18Who, Mom?
14:19Who called?
14:20I don't know.
14:21She never told me her name.
14:22But I can assure you that it was a classmate.
14:26Well, they lied to you.
14:28I'm going to believe you
14:29because it's not worth listening to an anonymous call.
14:33But there's you where I find out
14:34that you're doing something wrong.
14:36Because then we're going to give you an exemplary punishment.
14:41And you know it's not a threat.
14:45Yes, Mom.
14:51Very good, girls.
14:52Now go to sleep.
14:54It's good that you taught us that prayer, Mom.
14:56It's very beautiful.
14:58We should always have the Virgin in our prayers.
15:02And the best thing was that you thought
15:04that we should pray in the name of the Virgin
15:06instead of our guardian angel.
15:08It's because the Virgin is also her angel who takes care of them.
15:11But well, enough talking.
15:14And go to sleep.
15:15You have to rest.
15:17See you tomorrow.
15:18See you tomorrow, Mom.
15:19Get some rest.
15:20You have to sleep with the angels.
15:23Yes, my love.
15:32Forgive me, Virgin.
15:34Forgive me for lying to my mom.
15:36But you know how strict my parents are.
15:39And if I tell them the truth, they're going to kill me.
15:43How I wish my parents would listen to me
15:46and not think that because sometimes I don't follow the rules,
15:49I'm not a good girl.
15:52Because I am.
15:54Oh, Virgin.
15:55I wish you would touch my parents' hearts
15:58so they wouldn't be so strict.
16:14How beautiful!
16:16You know what?
16:17You're going to study all my homework
16:19and get 10 in the exams.
16:22And that rose?
16:24It was in your desk.
16:27Good morning, girls.
16:29It's time to get up.
16:32Where did that rose come from?
16:34It was in Lupita's desk.
16:38I don't know where it came from, Mom.
16:39I didn't put it there.
16:42Well, that's very strange.
16:44That rose must have somehow gotten to this room.
16:48And the girls couldn't give me any explanation?
16:51There's no other explanation.
16:52This rose is from Lupita.
16:54You think so?
16:55Of course.
16:56Someone gave this rose to Lupita.
16:59And right now we're going to find out who.
17:07I'll tell you the truth, Dad.
17:08That rose isn't mine.
17:10I'm going to tell you the truth.
17:11I'm going to tell you the truth.
17:13I'm going to tell you the truth.
17:15I'm going to tell you the truth.
17:16That rose isn't mine.
17:17I swear that when I woke up,
17:18I had it in my hand.
17:20But your sister found it in the desk.
17:22Yes, but it's not mine.
17:23I don't know how it got there.
17:24Look, Lupita.
17:25If I find out that you have a boyfriend
17:27and that he gave it to you...
17:28Dad, I don't have a boyfriend.
17:29I hope so.
17:30Because you're too young
17:31to have permission to have a boyfriend.
17:33And since this rose isn't anyone's,
17:36get out of here!
17:46Get out!
18:03Some call it the city of Nawabs.
18:08Some call it Constantinople of India.
18:13Welcome to Lucknow.
18:15Oh, sorry.
18:16Lucknow.
18:20Where the morning is sweet,
18:22the evening is colourful,
18:24and the night is beautiful.
18:27Here, from the villages of UP,
18:30many dreams come true every day.
18:38But no one told me
18:40that in Lucknow,
18:41along with these dreams,
18:43the oath is also broken.
18:46I don't know about dreams,
18:48but along with my oath,
18:51Amma's first oath was also about to be broken.
18:56I, Rajat Raj Singh Chauhan,
18:59son of Shri Doodhnath Singh Chauhan,
19:06address, Belsar, Gonda.
19:11This morning,
19:13when we were leaving for Lucknow,
19:17my mother, Shri Mati Sukanya Devi,
19:21made me keep my hand on my head
19:23and made me take three oaths.
19:25First oath.
19:27I won't get involved in fights,
19:29fights, and fights.
19:32Second oath.
19:34I'll stay away from cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.
19:38Did you get married?
19:41I think Lupita was sincere and told you the truth.
19:45No.
19:46Roses don't walk alone, Teré.
19:49Look, the best thing is to be more alert than ever with our daughter.
19:53Lupita is entering a difficult age
19:56in which it is easy to lie,
19:58hide things from her parents.
20:00You're right.
20:02We have to watch her,
20:03know what our daughter is doing.
20:06We can't let Lupita stray from her path.
20:15I can't believe someone gossiped about your mother.
20:18She told me herself.
20:20Some girl called her to tell her I looked like her.
20:24What a fool.
20:26But of course, the most certain thing is that it was Vanessa.
20:28She's very angry because Eric chose you instead of her.
20:32Oh, I'll never miss school again.
20:35I don't want my parents to find out I have a boyfriend.
20:38If they find out, they'll kill me.
20:40You should fire your parents.
20:43I wish it were that easy.
20:46It's easy if you really want it and you make it hard for yourself.
20:50Look, you should learn from the two of us.
20:52Let's blackmail our parents with the choro of
20:54nobody understands us.
20:57Yes, friend, just take the measure and it's very easy.
21:00I would like to be like you, but I can't.
21:03I'm really scared of my parents.
21:06Very scared.
