"all wars begin long before
from firing the first shot "
"and continues long after the latest
has completed its mission"
when fascism and communism
spread across Europe,
In Spain, established a new
republic with a leftist government.
after years of political and
social instability in the summer of 1936
a group of generals of the
army led an uprising
which became a bitter and lengthy civil war.
Families were broken, the
brothers killed each other
they had to swear on the Bible
or spit on it
all faced the same question:
"and you are on which side ?"
THERE BE DRAGONS
This film is inspired by real events
I was a war baby.
but luckily for me ,I hadn't have to fight
in any of the 165 wars that have occurred
in my lifetime
my father ,wasn't so lucky
when he was a young man
every one in Spain had to take sides
and take up arms
the decision may have taken a second
but the consequences
lasted the rest of his life
he never talked about the war
until I was asked to write a book about a
dead priest
(Josemaria Escriva)
and then he began to talk and talk
and talk
and that's how I went looking for a saint
and found my father instead
I think it was Oscar Wilde who wrote :
(Irish-born poet author and playwright
who spent most of his career in England,
author of "The Picture of Dorian Gray)
"Every saint has a past"
"and every sinner has a future"
Josemaria !
father ! ,quick
quick get a doctor
in june 1976 ,
the nun was at the point of death
diagnosed with a multiple granulomatous tumor
causing pain
and turning a mass the size of an orange
on her left shoulder
cured in a sudden and lasting way
after the...
"...servant of Gad (Josemaria Escriva)
"have been invoked"

damn it
to my son ,Roberto Torres
(delivered after my death)
I was 9
when Josemaria's path crossed mine
a long time ago
Roberto ,you were often told me that I was a terrible father
what I never told you,
is that I agree with you
there's so much I haven't told you that you need to know
so if you want to hear about the past
I'll tell you
but I warn you :
THERE BE DRAGONS
Manolo ,are you ok ?
you got me
I was a little terror like most boys
Josemaria was no saint either
there was one day ,he almost kill me
good ride my boy
come on
Paro?
- stop ,stop
- no ,come one
drive it like a Torres ,Manolo !
faster
Manolo,are you alright?
are you mad?!
Josemaria,I speak to your father
he should give you a beating
I hate this city
I'm tempted to sell everything
and go back to Madrid
- can I drive again papa?
- no Manolo ,enough
Fairy Tales Dragons II
here is the first one
see ?
there are many kinds of dragons
you will have to face
she scares me
don't be scared ,Manolo
- how many dragons are there ,Abileyza ?
- many Josemaria
but what matter is how you
will face them as you shal see
Josemaria's nany talked about dragons as if they really existed
a quarter of a century passed
before I realized she was right
but things happend is Josemaria's life
that ment he underestood this before I did
my baby ,why ?
Josemaria lost three sisters
I lost a baby brother
in those days death was part of life
mama ?
do you hate God now ?
no dearest
I love him very much
will you hate him when he takes me away
come here
I'm sorry about your sister
Josemaria's father owned that chocolate factory
the manager was a strange old guy
O Honrio.
we know we like what's here
we know that we want what's here
but what is here exactly ?
just set this on your tongue
for five seconds
now chew ,three times
Manolo ,you taste what ?
armond
armond ?!
- cinnamon
- cinnamon ?!
don't scoff
yes ,cinnamon
alright you can go
Josemaria, you stay here
I scolded Manolo for mugging wasn't count experience
not because he couln't experience it
huh ,look at this
ugly ,isn't it ?
just a poor ordinary little bean
yet patient...,
skill ,hard work
and love
end unleash the divine
flavors hidden with in it
here
do you understand the lesson ?
but not everyone has
taste the divine in it
why is that I wonder...
Manolo!
wait for me !
stop Manolo
my favorite trick in those days
was stealing Josemaria's
dad's chocolates
but then his dad went bankrupt
and lost the chocolate factory
...and I wasn't allowed to
play with Josemaria anymore
my dad thought poverty was contagious
he said that Josemaria wasn't one of us
and my dad could be quite persuasive
my dad had more money
more cars
more houses
but Josemaria had more "dads"
I see the envy began to grow in me
in a child's heart many
seeds are planted
you never quite know what will grow
I'm sure he didn't see us
around that time ,Josemaria changed
I'll tell you the story
as he told it to me
one cold winter night
Josemaria saw footprints
in the snow outside his house
he fallowed him
and then he saw someone
and he felt that God was calling him
it was unusual in those days
for a young man to
want to become a priest
like it or not most
young men were celibate
at least as a priest ,you got pay for it
the priesthood was an career option
but for Josemaria ,
it was an secret calling
do you know what
are you taking on son ?
yes papa
no one to love ,human love I mean
no family on your own
- no sons
- I know papi
and is this the wisest time
to become a priest ?!
probably not
is your father's still selling underpants Josemaria ?
backstabbing careerist
you vegetal pig !
what lesson did you drow form this ?
to control my temper
Torres ,what did you call the seminarist Escriva ?
a vegital pig !
and you ,what did you call Torres ?
a backstabbing careerist
sorry monsenior
I can't stand this type
a backstabbing careerist
so that defines it ?
what his father is rich so he thinks he can act
like a pain in the ass
that's not the somthing I had in the mind Escriva
yet ,isn't someone else his father ?
and yours ?
remember...
the withholding of forgiveness it the one thing
that our Lord made clear
that will not be forgiven
so...
do you thing that the two hotheads
a "hipcrita" and a "loser"
can be good priests ?
well I think it's possible
I really do
well..
he was wrong about me
your job is to make them to go away
- so that my factory can get back to work
- What we can do?
go
- I think that they're just trying to feed there familys ,papa
- what ?
your workers
rabble! rabble!
Manolo, when things went too shuffle
a man has only on duty
and that is choosing the winning side
come on
- grat to see you
- you too
nice car
where did you get all this ?
they're my dad's files from 50's
- there's more in the hotel
- he actcually sent this stuff to you ?!
- yeah
- you are making progress
what's the reason for the change ?
I don't know
I almost afraid to find out
"Foundation for the sick"
God ,such a different world
Josemaria wrote to me once a year until he died
I never wrote back ,but he kept writing anyway
in his letters ,he told me the terms that his
life was taking
Honrio!
Josemaria!
oh ,look at you
give me your hand
how's my old employer ?
papa died four years ago
Honrio.
I said my first mass for him
do you remember...
...about the chocolate bean ?
of course
it was a great lesson
I'm sorry ,that won't work
why not ?
because...
...I'm jewish
you know ,the love of my life is jewish
once thought I'd covert
but ,I couldn't disorder my father
Honoring O Parinsis is the sweetest priest of the Novario
and very dear to God but Jesus Christ...
but he won't turn his back on me
when I stand before him ,will he ?
what I know for sure is that
he loves you very much
thank you
I was afraid of dying here alone
please ,pray with me father
and the love our God
with all your heart
and with all your mind
and with all your soal
our father
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
we come to Thy kingdom
and Thy will be done ...

and this work is to include wemon ?
yes your exellency
they will live separately but all work will
include them
and will also be open to married people
living in the same institutin ?
it's not a institution or a movement
it's just a fmily of individuals
and no ,
married couples will live at home
it's all seems father...
...protestant.
that God is to be found
in a daily life
outside holy orders
no walls
no hobbys
well Jesuse've been most of his life working
in a shop
in Nazareth.
God's world is so full of...
God's world is so full of goodness
if we do them for love
each daily task can gave him glory
small but regular acts of love between
husbands and wives
between friends ,
between strangers...
each revealing the beauty of his creation
and you want to open a new residence in Valencia ?
yes
and one day in New York ,Paris ,London...
- and .and Tokyo
- it's a long way to Tokyo
and...no money at to speak of?
- well I can provided it
- no I didn't come to ask for that
I ask only for your permission
for me and for the work
and you shall have them
father Escriva
I offer you a job as my secretary
in time this will lead you to a career
that might provide you ifluence that you would need
to realize...this dream of yours
so ,what do you say ?
- I said now thank you
- Santi...
now it won't be easy I know
but I always see there's a roof over
your heads and food on the table ,no ?
actually...I have an idea
"in Latin".
Agustin?
"Pecunia"...
- I can't do it sir
- yes you can
you will learn
and I will learn to teach you
damn it
I'm sorry father ,

I can't ,the smell
I can't
how's your Latin ?

Bandits! Bandits!
How can you do this?
- you know my father's sick

good afternoon ,brother
brother ?
Josemaria
I know who you are Josemaria
I heared your sad news Manolo
you have been in my prays
thank you ,but I dont need your
Por mais sincera que seja.
- whatever struggles you are experiences you..
- stuggles ?
well ,whatever doubts you may having
doubts ,struggles
I blindly went into
(Saminari) because of my mother
I left because I wasn't priest material
as you know
well mabe not...
but doesn't mean your not saint material
you know ?
my recurring nightmare is that
I was partly to blame for your leaving
no Josemaria
unlike you I choose to
live in the real world
- but I appreciate your concern
- it's not concern TManolo
it's love
our Lord said love and love
was what he ment
and we love each other
no ?
Josemaria ,the truth is...
that we were born alone
and we die alone
all we have in between is a battle
that I want to win it
The rest the nonsense
well ,I will leave you
call me
I'll come I promise
you don't give up ,do you ?
it may help you to find some meaning
for your suffering ,Manolo
suffering has a meaning
it's meaningless
if you can show me otherwise
I'll kiss your ass that's my promise
I know what it is to
be angry at life
please be careful where
that leads you to ,Manolo
sheep
around that time that Josemaria
got a call from god
I also got a call from on of old
friend of my fathers
huh Toress
good morning
well ?
- a spy ?
- yes ,you ?
but I expected somthing more
with the king gone ,Spain has lost
center of gravity
which we will now recreate
by force if it needs to be
and other means
- but our government is elected it's popular
- it's time is over
The Government is a rotten apple, just
shake it and maggots appear.
maggots ?
socialists who want
a socialist state,
stalinists who want
a Stalinist state,
anarchists who want no state at all
- Manolo we want to create a new Spain
- a united Spain
- plans with blood ,if it's necessary...
- resurrected...great
- and it want's war as before
- and admire
Exactly, that's right!
Are we clear!
they called us fascists
we called them communists
really ,the war was much
complicated than that
but many prefer to see it in
those simpelified terms(manner)
three years later ,half a milion people
were dead
most of them civilians
but even in times like these,
some people are more interested
in hads and shoes
I thought you were going to buy
a new shoes
yes..I was but somthing else came up
what was that ?
- no I met a lady who...
- who needed a hat
- and some breakfast
- yes ,and some lunch
thank you
sit down please Peter ,Isidore
so ?
This group that moves
you from your homes ,what's it called?
we don't have a name mama
we just refer it as "Gods work"
in Latin would sound better
Opus Dei.
I know your donkey may like funds
but the work has found it's name
what's next ?
the communist's strike killed my father
now it was my turn to strike
get him out of the cat
Unionist rabble ...
take him
Let us show you
how God loke like
where is your gun ?
this is not a game
he killed your father
damn it ,this bastard is
shitthing his pants
do it
do it damn it
Pedro
- you're crazy
- no I'm not
you are crazy
- he will hate the whole idea
- well let's ask him
- ask me ?
-this
we gonna put it up all over Madrid
not me father ,not me
- a crusade
- yes father
using the cross to incite hate and anger
that's christian ?
well mabe not
but father the government is opening
the attack of the church
- no it isn't it's trying to modernize the Spain
- come on ,Pedro
if we dont do somthin we are just cowards
or worse ,traitors
- traitors ?
- yes that's what people are saying
standing by while the church
get's attack
how is that being a good catholic ?
Pedro, is it understandable to want
to protect the church ?
yes father
- juan, is it uderstandable to want social justice ?
- yes of course
good ,so ,the question is how
do we achieve both
by feeding the hungry
and lunch is ready
so we just let it go
no ,look I'm not gonna tell you what to think
God gave each of you a brain and reasons
and conscience
why ? so that you can come to
conclusions on your own
and take personal responsible for them
but...before rushing to act
before trying to change the world
first think about changing yourselves
we're building somthing vital here
to get...
now ,specially now
we have to be sowers of peac and joy
and lunch mama
father...
they started killing priests
- what ?
- it's on the newspaper
oh my God
- where ?
- here in Mdrid
let me see
- so what do we do now father
- exactly what I just said ,Juan
please
bless us ,O Lord
and this thy gifts that we are about to recive
for Thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord.

- hello, father!
well ,well ,well...
What we have here?
- Hello, Father!
- Sorry!

- come on show us
- no,please

or I stick you with this
- just kill the parasite!
- I'm not a parasite.
- I have work for living just like all you
- what for living ??
that's enough ,that's enough
please
- get on the next on
- Take it easy ...!
- I'm on your side.
- Fascist!
They have prejudices
against the enemies of their class.
- that's why I blame them
- no ,I know
all part of creating of this new
more civilized Spain
exactly
And how the uncivilized
bihavior comes out
To make omelets,
have to break eggs.
Life is not an omelet,
and people are not eggs.
if I was you
I stopped to walk out there
with those clothes.
it won't protect you anymore
I don't wear these for protection
you got bolls for a bourgeois
thank you father
from the palaces the bishops said :
"The meek shall inherit the earth"
But the meek
were tired of waiting
they took the bishops and their palaces
he was lucky it was only a rock
Juan? Paco?
happy birthday
it's not my birthday
come on
Josemaria ,as your brother
I've been chosen to ask you to celebrate
our second year together
by revoming your shoes
behold a simple shoe
- but is it what it seems ?
- yes
no
it is in fact...
...a hole
A hole masquerading as a shoe.
A hole surrounded by leather ...
But also a testiment
to 20 kms a day
seven days a week
rain and shine
and in pity for this innocent shoe
we have also pulled together for...
down
Santiago!
this is a statement of your government.
There has been a military up rising
The army recruits from the Moroccan colonial forces.
All able spainian
who love their country ...
it's remarkably easy
to join a war.
I could sneak to
a communist brigade.
so far I was enjoying being a spy
There is something inspiring
a common purpose,
even when it is not yours.
I can not describe the ecstasy
of belonging to a crowd,
even when it's the enemy
There is no feeling like it.
well...
apart from one
cat got your tongue ,brother ?
So many young people!
What do you know
about the suffering and death?
how they would told you
"is it worth it ?"
they will ask again and again
"is it wort it ?"
and what will fill your heart
with the answer "yes" ,yes
hater of oppression ? of tyranny ?
hate of those who treat us like animals
denying our hops and stifling our lives
YES !
but more
it will be faith
faith
faith ,that our new world will be born from
the blood of the old
and comradeship
my brothers and sisters
And courage.
courage can break our cases and
set ourselves free
to live noble as the eagle hovering of it's
mountain beak...
...or die in the attempt!
- name and country ?
- Jean. Frace
- name and country ?
- Petofi, Ildiko. Hungary, sir.

father ,come one
- Pigs!
- Pigs, no Juan.
- men ,like us
- men ?! Pedro
what did father Lazaro ever offered them
but love ?
how could they do what they did ?
cause they see us as part of the system
which causes them pain and despair
we have to pray
first for father Lazaro...
and then for his murderers
but they're murderers
and they took pleasure in it
what do you want to do with these "pigs" ?
truthfully ,right now
what do you want do to them if you clould
truthfully ,and wouldn't took pleasure in it
And yet we are no pigs
but its not the same father
no human being ,not one of us...
is free for human weakness
no one
our faith is a gift
and God has called us to manifest it
in love ,here on earth
an unconditional love ,for every children
of God ,no matter who it is
no matter what side ,
no matter what circumstances
- even if they're wrong
- yes ,Juan
even if they are wrong
do you understand ?
forgive us our trespasses.
forgive me ,Lord
for my anger
for the anger of others.
for hate
and for those who are killing
Help me to be strong!

century)

to not to choose hate
but to choose forgiveness
and love can fill our hearts
so we can all
enjoy the peace.

Roberto ,have you read Cervantes ?
(Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616),
Spanish writer, author of "Don Quixote")

our greatest enemies...
are within us
Here he is.
A wonderful child.
he's beautiful
wonderful little boy child

because of him she just wanted to die
she know that wouldn't happen
if she had you
so she left you there
and never came back
serrender ! you must surrender
give up ! give up
laydown your weapons and come out
your fighting for a lost cause !
this is the last chance to save you lifes
I gave you 30 seconds
laydown your weapons
with your hands hanged up on your heads
otherwise you will die
I repeat
this is you last opportunity!
gun !
little dog ,give me a pistol

it was the only time...
I could give her...
what she wanted
so now you know it all
so I went back for you
after the war...
to that farm
why ?
what life a little child
could have there ?
in that time
I don't think you were writing your books
I thought with her death...
I would be free of her
all that pain
but it didn't work
because...
when I looked into your eyes
I saw
hers
what do you expect me to do...
I mean...
what do you...

and one day...
...forgive me my son

in some plane crash
in my whole childhood
I was praying for one sing
of affection

I think my father wanted to me
to forgive him for my sake
and I'm trying
a life ,Dona Dolores

it's like...
it's like the thread
on your embroidery,
twisted around other threads
woven together
in a given space and at any given time.
difficult to see the pattern
untill it's all finished.

Josemaria dedicate the rest of his life
to the development of Opus Dei
("Work of God")
On October 6, 2002,
500,000 people filled St. Peter's Square
to see John Paul II proclaimed a saint,
and "one of the great witnesses of Christianity"
about Manolo Torres,
some say they still struggle within us all
in that unknown place where ...
...THERE BE DRAGONS
