Why don't we stop?
Could be, right?
Farther on, there's a place...
We'll stop there.
Don't worry.
I've been driving
for 30 years.
I've never fallen asleep.
So, don't worry...
Ruben...
I'll see if there is a phone
to call my mother.
I'll go with you.
Don't bother.

I'll look after her.
What time is it?
I overslept!
She needs to be changed.
Powerful baby!

Let's get you changed, make you all
pretty to arrive in Buenos Aires.
Ready?
Ready.
Is it hard to speak Guarani?
No, it is easy.
How do you say "truck driver"?
"Truck driver".
It's really easy!
Some wordsjust
don't exist in Guarani.
You could say, "mba"eryru mboguataha".
What?
"Mba"eryru mboguataha".
Is she asleep?
"Oke".
What?
"Oke".
What's that?
She's sleeping.
What about your son?
He is in Mendoza now.
His name is Ruben, like me.
I first met him when he turned four.
I gave him a bicycle that day.
He kept staring at it.
He stared at the bike
and at me, back and forth.
And then he asked:
is it for me?
His eyes were this big.
It's been a long time
since I've seen him.
How long?
Eight years.
Hello. May we...?
Sure, go ahead.
Once I fell asleep at the wheel.
Want me to cut for you? -Ok.
...and suddenly I ran into a
whole vegetable stand...
...and everything flew
all over the place.
I was really scared and said:
"ana membypeguare!"
and the windshield was completely red.
I was scared to death that
I had killed somebody...
...but no, it turned out to
be only watermelons.
Can I get you anything else?
No, thanks.
Nice baby.
What's her name?
Anahi.
Where are you coming from?
Paraguay.
Does she like riding in the truck?
Yes.
Can I get you anything else?
No, no, thanks.
So, you are from Paraguay?
Yes.
Where from?
Aregua.
I'm from Luque.
Really?
We're neighbors.
Yes.
Are you Paraguayan too?
No.
So, you're heading for Buenos Aires?
Yes.
Fuck!
We are near right?
Yes...
this is the access to Buenos Aires.
How long to get there?
An hour and a half... maybe two.
Are you feeling well?
Yeah, sure.
Anything wrong?
No, no.
Are you stopping?
I have to stop for a moment.
Everything ok?
